JUST A TEN-MILE ROAD
There is no question but what the Alaska Road Commis
sion is run plumb ragged by the clamorous demands
from every part of the Territory to build a road here or
build a road there, on the plea that it will help develop a
mining district or form a connecting link with some other
district. That’s only natural. We have our first taste of
good roads in Alaska, and its so palatable that we are
voracious for more. We sure are road hungry, especially
since we have so many automobiles and trucks to whet
our appetites.
Now then we want to get into the chorus and yelp
louder than anybody about that ten-mile road, out Uiam
na way to connect Cook Inlet with Iliama Lake and cut
out a 2,000 mile water journey to develop a wonderful
corner of Alaska and start a reindeer industry that will
rival the Nome herds.
Its just like shooting fish in a barrel, but you must
look at the map to see the barrel.
There’s no present means of getting supplies to the
wonderful Iliamna-Clark lake country and a great por
tion of that country between the lower Kuskokwim and
Bristol Bay from Seward except by going way out to the
end of Alaska Peninsula and up into Bering Sea, and
that’s nearly 2,000 miles. But if you cut across by boat
from Seward to Iliamna Bay, on Cook Inlet and then go
ten miles by road, you are right on Iliamna Lake.
That’s a great country over there. The natives run
about 3,000 reindeer. That’s enough because if they had
any more they couldn’t dispose of the meat. But if they
had* that road there would soon be many thousands of
reindeer with a refrigerating plant with a regular truck
and boat service direct to Sew7ard. Its one of the richest
portions of Alaska in furs, it is a game paradise and gold
has been panned on many streams; immense copper de
posits are also located there. We sure hope the road com
mission will look into this. Its one of the most mportant
ten miles of road in Alaska.
Aviators are supermen: they rise above other motor
ists’ troubles.
Mexico eliminates her candidates by the bullet,
America exterminates her’s by the ballot.
Far down in the earth’s dark bosom—the miner—
mines the ore. Death may lurk in the dark behind him
and hide in the rock before. But the wise man mines the
ore.

like an arrow from a bow
Buick. for 1928 gets away in traffic like
an arrow from a bow!
Watch the Buicks next time you drive
downtown. See how easily they step out
in front when the signal changes. And
note how they give other cars the slip
in the friendly rivalry of traffic.
You cannot say you know the full
meaning of “performance” until you’ve
driven a Buick for 1928.

meaning to the City of Seward and
the back country, I believe it a piece
of work to be given precedence over
all others.”
Eldridge, whose company has the
Buick agency for the Northwest ?n •
eluding Alaska, has been in to Fair
banks and has traveled over portions
of the northern highways. Wo were
deeply impressed, he eaid, “with the
remarkable progress made in road
building in the North, and his imag»
nation was fired by the possibilities
of the future. He said that although
he looked at it primarily from the
standpoint of an automobile salesman,
he could also appreciate the untold
possibilities ahead in the develop
ment of the territory.
“But there is one other thing I
want to say while I am here,” de
slared Eldridge, “and there isn’t any
use mincing words about it. You have
invited a lot of tourists up here and
when they come you are not in shape
to take care of them. In many in
stances I have been put to the ut
most inconvenience when I was lead
to expect good hotel accommodation.
In several places these accommoda
tions were rotten, and certainly ro
true reflection of the far-famed ho
vitality of Alaska. That’s one thing
and a most important thing that you
should look to at once. The tourist
trade is bound to increase but you
will hurt your cause immeasureaV.v
if you send out dissatisfied and un
comfortable travelers.”
