With private concerns advertis
ing for carpenters and the Alaska
Railroad bidding for laborers indi
cations are that the present sum
mer season will be one of great ac- I
t>ity in the vicinity of the railroad
i headquarters’ town.
! The Eklutna Lights & Power com
panys' project is threatened with
I slowing up because of the scarcity
of carpenters to erect forms for:
[constructing the power house and
completing one of the dams.
The larger portion of the crew
ot laborers called for by the rail
road will be put to work ballasting
the line into McKinley Park, in
preparation for eventual removal
of the Curry hotel to that point, >
which will be done as soon p,s faster
running time may be had over the
road.
Other crews will be busy replac- j
ing telephone and telegraph poles
along the intermediate section be- j
tween terminals.
Other spirited spring activities
are shown in the canneries which !
are rapidly preparing for trap driv
ing and tuning up in anticipation ;
of a good season.
Scows loaded with trap material
and gear are leaving Anchorage
daily for down inlet points and
many individual fishermen who j
will operate hand traps and beach
nets are swarming about the water
front in getting boats and gear in
shape for operation.

has been accompanied by the
natural and to be expected shrink
ing of all other development. The
c onstruction of the Alaska Rail
road has but arrested this shrink
ing. Alaska and the Can a di a n
Northwest are in a static condition.
The severest critics of Alaska
have always exempted three re
sources. The scenery, the summer
climate withh its 24 hour long
days, and the game. None of
these are exportable and properly
handled, none of them will dim
inish with use. Another fact of
very pertinent interest in this con
nection is the extreme mobility
of the modern world. There are
probably 20,000,000 car owners in
the United States. A transcontin
ental trip by auto from Boston to
California was heralded by the
press from San Francisco to New
York 20 years ago. Today the
most timid of New England aunties
make the trip without thought
of its being unusual. The whole
modern world is on wheels. This
mobile population is rapidly ex
hausting the number of travel op
portunities
These are all facts about which
there can be no difference of
opinion. It is upon them that the
International Highway bases its
whole appeal.
It has already been said that
Alaska has many opportunities
and much disagreemtnt about
their value. We have tried to de
vise ways for transportation, but
for some reason or other it ap
pears that as far as getting our
resources to a market is concern
ed we have failed with all out*
devices.
The International Highway ap
proaches this problem with a dif
ferent method. It solves it by bring
ing the market to Alaska—to Alas
ka where there will be no out
side competition, where the obsta
cles of distance hitherto our bane
will effectually bar the introduct- j
ion. of cheaply produced outside
goods and produce.
Let us consider briefly the lure
of a trip over the International
Highway from Seattle to the Arc
tic Circle, an imaginary journey ;
soon 10 become an established lact.
from Seattle we follow througn
the wonderful forests of Dougias
nr and cedar, the general route
paralleling the wonderfully beaut
iful Puget Sound country. Every
*0 mafcs or so an industrial city
antn we reach Vancouver trie most
modern and progressive cicy of
vVestern Canada, possessing in its
mv irons beautiful parks and
Iriveways. Thence northerly over
ugnways already constructed thru
me impressive canyon or the Fras- !
.r nver, a most difficult construct
on job now constituting a thrill
ing drive. Thence swinging wesier
y and passing through Chiiooet, |
rhince George and scores of small- |
ir places through a country
splashed with lakes and wildly:
>eautiful streams, alive with |
■rout, to Hazelton, the ancient
:amp site of a great savage tribe,
vhose totem poles still stand,
narking the swift transformation J
rom the primitive to the mod- j
;rn. Again northerly 40 or 50
niles to the present end of mod
;rn travel, the auto road, 1,000
niles north of Seattle. Thence
vinding rather across the grain
if the land, following the streams
o their heads and down the other
ide thru a country of sustained
nterest, known to be rich in min
ral resources. The road will pro
►ably follow the old Telegraph
Trail, a line full of historic sig
nificance as it marks the path
»f those valiant pioneers who at
empted in the late ‘60s to build
, telegraph line to Asia tnd thence
.cross to Europe, and were only
tefeated in their purpose by the
uccess of the Great Eastern in
aying the Atlantic Cable. To this
lay the Indians still use the wire

—Of the class of 1928 which left
Wellesley college last June, 30 per
cent have found niches in the
world, the personnel bureau reports.
A decided wane in the popularity
of teaching, in this group at least,
was shown by the fact that only 30
percent of those employed are
teaching.
Juties now being performed by
the class of f928 include social work,
librarv work, secretarial and cleri
cal work, advertising, editorial em
o oyment, ervice as technician and
department store work.
Graduate study has lured a great
number of the graduates. Here and
abroad, at Oxford, the Sorbonne,
the University of Florence, they are
pursuing subjects from nursing to
law and philosophy.
