ALASKA AS STATE
(Continued from Page One)
vast cattle country of the Bella
Coola and the sage brush and cac
tus of the desert section. The
lovely unspoiled resorts of silence,
fishing and good food. Grizzly bear
and moose are in the hills and real
fish are in the streams and lakes.
Totem poles and Indian cemeteries
with their devil chasers. Colorful
hillsides where pigments are now
being mined for paint manufac
aurers. Eight hundred and 50
miles—a beautiful vacation land
and summer resort of the imme
diate future.
‘‘British Columbia now has 22,000
miles of highways, 660,000 people
and still the north one-third of
British Columbia has no roads.
British Columbia is larger than
California, Oregon and Washing
ton combined.
“Premier Simon Fraser Tolmie
of that great province is the leader
in promotion of the extension of
the Pacific International Highway
north and westward up through
the Yukon Territory to the land of
the Midnight Sun.
“The largest and most promising
mineral zone of all Canada lies on
the eastern slope of the coast range
in the one-third of British Colum
bia which is now land locked by
the panhandle of Southeastern Al
aska. The famous Cassiar gold dis
trict, the Stikine and the Nass will
be opened and developed by the
northern extension of this high
way. This summer the aerial sur
veys have been completed from
Hazelton to beautiful Lake Atlin.
Five hundred miles through a vir
gin country of trappers, explorers
and scattered prospectors. A land
where millions of wrater power is
now rushing wasted behind the
great pulp and timber sections of
Southeastern Alaska. Canadian en
gineers have extended those sur
veys up through the hills to the
famous Klondike River and roman
tic Dawrson, along the banks of
the Yukon where the tourists will
revel in miles of gorgeous fire weed
and scenic river views, past the
great silver deposits and up to the
Alaskan boundary west of Dawson.
The Yukon surveys state that that
section can be built with a good
gravel surface for about $7,500 per
mile. The Yukon River would be
crossed at Dawson by a ferry which
is already in local operation.
“The Alaska highway system
which radiates from Fairbanks,
now leads north to the village oi
Circle on the Yukon and south to
i the Port of Valdez on the Pacific
i Coast. There are in this imme
| diate system at present approxi
mately 800 miles of excellent gravel
I roads traversing not only a magni
! ficent scenic mineral section, but
! passing through millions of acres oi
J future wheat and barley land. The
:surveys made in Alaska this sum
jmer show the Pacific Internationa]
! Highway main line can no doubt
connect advantageously with the
existing Alaskan system at a poinl
about 90 miles from Fairbanks
iThis new 200-mile Alaskan sectior
| will pass through a rich placei
■country as well as a section where
every tourist will see caribou herd:
of countless thousands.
“On October 10 a meeting will be
held in Victoria when Americar
and Canadian representatives wil
i examine the reports and recom
■ mendations of the various engi
! neering parties. A preliminarj
study of this information show*
I that the final located line will have
! easy grades and alignments anc
the passes will be below 3,000 feet
The entire route from Vancouvei
to Fairbanks is protected from the
heavy coastal rains and snow bj
the coast range of mountains. An
nual rainfall in Fairbanks is onlj
12 inches. This route is free from
fog and follows the natural flying
route to the Orient. The road tc
: Hazelton is at present used the
| year around, and the 2,000 motoi
'cars in Alaska operate throughout
| the winter in the vicinity of the
| towns. Whenever traffic warrants
| the Alaskan roads can be kept open
| the year around just as is now done
I under similar winter climatic con
1 ditions in the States.
“An excellent gravel road to
Fairbanks could be completed and
in service in less than five years
from the time the money is avail
able. It is believed that $10,000
per mile would put through a pass
able gravel road. The driving dis
tance from San Francisco to Fair
banks will be about 3,500 miles, of
which only 1,000 remains to be
completed.
“Various financial plans have
been proposed, and after the engi
neers' reports °re made public
more deiinite proposals will be
forthcoming.
“The Province of British Colum
bia will no doubt find a financing
plan of concessions, gas taxes or
toll gates to cover the Accessary
construction with little or no bur
den on the people of the province.
It is expected that the Yukon Ter
ritory section will be built by the
Canadian government.
“In Alaska there are funds avail
able annually for road building,
and if additional funds are needed
to extend or improve the existing
Alaskan road system undoubtedly
Congress would appropriate the
money, as a few dollars spent to
construct this highway will be re
paid many fold in, the increased
valuation of Alaskan property, most
of which is at present in Federal
ownership.
“If left to itself, this road would
' no doubt be built by natural piece
1 meal extension in the next 20 years,
' but with a little concerted action
and cooperation at this time it is
possible to put it through within
the next few years. The Pacific
j International Highway will open
untold mineral resources of Alaska.
Hundreds of miles of heavily min
eralized zones lie spread over three
' great mountain ranges. Tin, an
timony, silver, copper and gold and
anthracite await? the influx of pros
| pectors and capital which will come
quickly via the motor route. The
' completion of this highway to Al
( aska will in a very few years add
a hundred thousand eastern peo
| pie to the population of Alaska,
and several hundred thousand to
' British Colubia. This highway to
Alaska will be the greatest single
drawing card the Pacific Coast will
have for the motorist of America.
“Alaska scenic attractions are
, unsurpassed. Thousands will wish
, to travel from their own doorstep
| to the Land of the Midnight Sun.
The Arctic Circle will be crossed
and recrossed, and the Aurora Bor
ealis will become a by-word. Daw
Ison, Klondike and the Yukon River
will draw the curious, and the un
excelled climate of Fairbanks and
Anchorage will hold the home
steader. Mount McKinley, the high
est mountain in the world above
its base, will claim many admirers.
The better class of tourists will no
doubt go north from Los Angeles,
San Francisco, Portland and Seat
tle, via motor, and will return from
Alaska via boat through that fairy
land of inside passages. Alaska,
“The Great Land,” has been an
island. This highway will produce
a rich powerful American State in
a tremendously strategic position,
halfway across the Pacific, a key
stone of trade and commerce.
“This Pacific Foreign Trade
Council should definitely endorse
the project and assist in its pro
motion to early completion. Each
member of the Council should in
vestigate the resources and oppor
tunities of our last frontier, and
should consider its tourist possi
bilities. Of all the world, Alaska in
our own back yard, stands supreme
in scenic attractions.”
