THE MOOSE PASS HIGHWAY
Conceding there are other beautiiul scenic mgn
ways in Alaska yet it is doubtful if there can be found
construction, built up to the B. P. R. standard, an
Pass Highway which, after a number of years endeavor,
has ust been completed by the Bureau of Public Roads.
At every turn of the road of this wonderful piece of
road construction, built up to the B. P. R. standard, an
ever changing scene is unrolled. Towering and rugged
snow-capped mountains vie with the sunlit valleys where
tumbling waters and placid lakes abound.
There the gamey fish lure fishermen from afar;Big
game of varied species tempt the hunter. For residents
of this district it has always been the ideal place to spend
a vacation.
But the highway was not built for pleasure seekers
but to assist in the development of the mining going for
ward there; to make the region accessible to the home
steaders, those engaged in other pursuits and to afforc
ingress and egress to the many residents on the othei
side of Turnagain Arm, a branch of Cook Inlet. And wit!
the expenditure of hundreds of thousands of dollars the
Bureau of Public Roads have laid down a magnificenl
highway; a piece of road-work seldom found in localities
with a much greater population and excelling many ol
the splendid roadways to be found inthe States.
The hue and cry in Alaska for years has been neec
of more roads. We’ve got one up in the Pass which w(
are mighty proud of. It opens up a country hundreds oi
miles in area; the highway itself is 45 miles in length
or from the Alaska Railroad station at Mile 29 to Hope
It is only fitting that at the completion of a projec
such as this due appreciation be extended to the Bureai
of Public Roads so in behalf of the citiens of Moose Pass
and_ Seward, the Gateway takes this opportunity of con
veying congratulations and thanks for giving us a high
way we may point to with sincere pride.
The election is over. Now for the investigations.
Seward is perhaps more fortunate than any othei
Alaska coastal city for the reason that throughout th<
greater part of the winters the Se^vard-Kenai Lake high
way is kept open for traffic. The Bureau of Public Roadi
each winter keeps a man and snow plow on the job.

HEAD OF THE ALASKA ROAD
COMMISSION SAYS MONEY
NOT AVAILABLE YET
Writing to the Gateway from his
Juneau headquarters Major Mal
colm Elliott, District Engineer,
United States Engineer Office, War
Department, and head of the Alas
ka Road Commission, sends the fol
lowing letter which is self-explana
tory:
“In your issue of the Gateway for j
; November 3, it is stated in the edi- i
jtorial column that the money for !
I the proposed breakwater at Seward
jhas been appropriated and that it
iis hoped the Alaska Road Comnns
jsion would start the work next j
spring.
“Although the River and Harbor
Bill now before Congress authorizes i
this project whenever specific ap
propriation thereof has been made,
it,he Bill in question has not yet
I been enacted Even if the River
Jand Harbor Bill, when pasced and |
'approved, contains the authoriza- j
Ition for the Resurrection Bay j
[breakwater, construction will not j
be authorized until the appropria-i
,'tion for it has been made,
i “You may be sure the U. S. En- j
jgineer Department will not delay
construction once the authority
■ and appropriation are available. We
'jhope to make the same speed on
this work as has been done on the
[ flume which was appropriated for j
| March 23, this year and is now ap- |
' proaching completion,
i “With best wishes to you and
' other friends in Seward.” Yours
sincerely, MALCOLM ELLIOTT,
i District Engineer.
