{ t § ROAD WORKERS USE DYNAMITE TO OPEN PASS Heavy Snowfall Last Win- ter Blocks Interior Pass —Highway Now Open Mountain passcs on Richardson Highway, clogged with the last win- ter's snowfall, the heaviest in years, are virtually cleared and traffic moving from the coast to Fair- banks, it was announced today by Major Douglas H. Gillette, En- gineer Officer of the Alaska Road Commission, who with Assistant En- gineer lke P. Taylor returned home yesterday after a month’s trip into the interior. Isabelle Pass, at the summit of the Alaska Range, was cleared about the middle of June after several days removal of snow. It was nec- essary to use dynamite on some of the deep, hard-packed drifts. Steam- | H. shovels are now clearing the route over the coast range of mountains north of Valdez and have crossed the summit. Traffic should open there before the end of the present week. During his absence Major Gillette made arrangements for necessary repairs and ‘emergency work on the Valdez dyke, for minor improve- ments on the Lowell Creek flume at Seward, and inspected work ‘in progress on the Gulkana-Chisto- china route, Richardson Highway and Steese Highway. Mr. Taylor visited these routes and also went over the McKinley Park road sys- tem. Major Gillette and he were the first to cross the Alaska range in an automobile from the south this season. They made the trip from Chitina to Fairbanks in about 30 hours, and without making any special effort to set a record. The road, it was said, was in splendid condition. Fine work is being done on the Gulkana-Chistochina road and ex- cellent progress made. With Robert Frothingham, East- ern lecturer and sportsmen, and Ernest W. Sawyer, of the Interior| Department, Major Gillette made a end of the present season, he said, the road will be in excellent shape as far as Circle Hot Springs. Major Gillette and Mr. Taylor came south with Mr. Sawyer and Major Elliott as far as the Valdez branch of Richardson Highway, leaving them there to cover the branch while the others went to| Chitina and visited the Kennecott mines. A unique snowslide was re- ported about 30 miles north of, Valdez that had carried out a small highway bridge. It had swept down one mountainside, crossed a gulch | ascended another small hill and covered a short stretch of the high- way. This damage is being repmr-K ed and should be open to traffic this week. e M. L. Merritt, Assistant District Forester, who has been absent about two menths attending a conference | of Assistant District Foresters in California, and visiting relatives in Towa, returned to Juneau on the| steamer Yukon. e e—— This store will be closed all day Thursday, July 4. —adv.

The ceremony was performed by Rev. E. L. Winterberger, of the First Presbyterian church, the couple being attended only by Miss Nonna M. Davis and Miss Florence Kolb, close friends of both bride and groom. The wedding took place at the manse, and so carefully were the arrangements made that few of the many friends of the couple were aware of what had happened until after they were on their way to the interior. —adv.
