men of means and those of our
prospectors and developers who
seeking capital. It will cause an
immediate and powerful stimulus
to all industry in the Territory
! Viewing Alaska, as it should be
viewed, as primarily a playground
for the world, requires a readjust
ment of the whole perspective.
The construction of roads for auto
travel off from this arterial high
way to the coastal towns and the
Interior is an ordinary evolution.
The assured success of the high
way will speed up this construc
tion- Lines to Juneau, and to the
towns of Anchorage, Seward and
Haines, McKinley Park, etc., will
naturally follow. The line to An
chorage is an eminently feasible
| one. It is but 100 miles thru a
passable country from the Rich
ardson Highway to Chickaloon.
The McKinley Park road is sure
to be connected once a tourist
i population is on the grorund. That
|it would compete with the rail
;road is beside the point. The rail
| road is here to make Alaska pay
and Alaaska with developed tour
ist roads will then make the rail
road pay.
We have just witnessed the pas
sage of the first vehicle over the
International highway Those val
ient fliers Cramer and Gamble
have blazed the air trail over the
International airway. More planes
will follow soon. Within six months
a mail route is allmost certain to
be in operation. Airplane landing
fields are of utmost importance
along this route. The ribbon of
highway will be an essential guide.
The necessary gas, oil, and equip
ment must come over an automo
bile road.
The International highway lies
on the modern route to Asia and
Fairbanks becomes a modern Sam- j
arcand on the road to Cathay. Cer
tainly these are great days and
great are those things that are
to come.
The road is really a corridor
thru Canada, connecting the
United States with its largest
continental possession. That the
United States should divide the
cost of construction and main- j
tanance with Canada by one
means or another, while an unus
ual procedure, is, in this case,
most reasonable and practical.
Once informed we have be
hind us the most powerful inter
est in the United States, the auto
mobile manufacturers with their
innumerable connections, the
countless automobile owners.
It is up to us in the North, in
Alaska and the Yukon Territory
and British Columbia, to tell the
world, and this manufacturing
world particularly- just what this
highv/ay means to them. Once this
is done the job is through.
Publicity is the Answer!
It should be kept in mind that
as far as the British Columbia
end of the project is concerned
this proposed highway is no new
thing. The route it follows has al
ready been incorporated in the
construction program of the
province. It is a part of the pro
posed highway which is to extend
from Vancouver to the Yukon ter
ritory. About 800 miles of road,
from Vancouver to a point about
30 miles north of Hazelton, has
already been constructed. This
construction, occurring practically
entirely within the last 10 or 12
years will undoubtedly continue.
The ordinary processes of econom
ic evolution causing the construct
ion of roads from one developing
resource to another will insure
that. However, this is a slow pro
cess which will undoubtedly con
sume many years. British Colum-*

bia is not primarily interested in
affairs Alaskan. To Alaska -the
construction of this highway is
of almost vital importance
And so the International High
way Association is merely trying
to speed the development of a
project that has already been cqn
ceived. To awaken our Canadian
cousins to the importance of im
mediate construction to us, and
11 othem, and inform them that we
| are quite willing to bear a part
of the cost of this construction
land maintenance in any equitable
! way.
The proposed highway has al
ready been endorsed by all the
chambers of commerce of the
Alaska towns and by the Seattle
Chamber of Commerce and the
British Columbia Board of Trade.
Major Malcolm C. Elliott president
of the Alaska Road Commission,
has given his unqualified appro
val, a Memorial requesting that
Congress appoint a commission:
to confer with the Canadian gov
ernment to secure International j
cooperation was unanimously ^
passed by both houses of the Alas
ka legislature, as was a bill ap-«
propriating $1,500 for publicity
purposes.
The International Highway
Association, a non-profit organ
ization, with headquarters at
Fairbanks, Alaska, has been le
gally incorporated,* and in order
to be in a financial position to
defray publicity and other costa
that may arise, is selling stock at
$5 a share. Each town in Alaska
and Canada interested in the
project is to have a branch of the
association with a local president. (
The most influential men in Alas
ka are among its officers. Every
forward looking live man in Alaska
and the North will have a desire
to have a hand in this great pro
ject, the most vital thing to Alas
ka that has yet been brought
forward, that will bring one more ^
star to the Banner of the Repub
lic, should buy at least one share
of this stock
Then may we all go forward
together!
