OUTSIDER BOOSTS FOR MISSING LINK
We of Seward have come to call it the “missing link,’’ and sort o'
laugh at the bum joke, but a prominent automobile man of'the Northwest,
who has just visited Alaska and has given us .the once over calls i.t the
unfortunate link, meaning that its unfortunate for Seward and a lot more
of the country that isn’t built yet.
We refer to that ten-mile stretch of open space between Mile IS, or the
end of the Seward-Kenai Lake Highway, and the upper end of the Moose
Pass-Hope Highway. If this missing link were supplied it would give Sew
ard i wonderful road about 90-miles long from this city to Hope, affording
a splendid scenic route and opening up a rich mineral back country.
Of course we dont want to ride the Bureau of Public Roads all the
time and it is very possible that they are already considering plans for that
link, but A. S. Bid ridge, head of the Eldridge Buick Company, Seattle,
has looked the thing over and says he is going to the'bat with all four
feet and will HP- the matter right up to Washington in the hope of getting
quick action.
Now of course we know mighty well that Eldridge is boosting good roads
in Alaska because he wants to sell automobiles, and he grinned when we
accused him of it. But he was real serious when he said, “Why that little
piece of road ought to be built right away because it is so important from
the standpoint of Ihe people it will serve and the country it will develop,
let alone what it would mean to Seward as a scenic highway.” Eldridge
generally gets what he goes after as he is a big man in tins Northwest and
wc ...d mighty glau we have him on our side in this proposition, particular
ly because he saw the knot in the board all by his ownself.
