FISHERMAN SETS OUT ON BEAR HUNTING TRIP A twenty - eight - inch rainbow trout today sent Jim O'Neil, local sportsman, out on a bear hunting trip. Here's how it happened. O'Neil, who has had the upper hand for most of the present fishing sea- son and didn’t mind rubbing it in on his friends and fishing cronies, |heard a rumor that Dan Ralston (had caught a giant 28-inch rain- |bow in Peterson Lake. “Ralston’s” | fish was on display at a local hard- | ware store, and O'Neil, feeling sick at having someone else get such a catch, went down to ogle at the |fish in the glass case. | But Ralston had fish from Anchorage on lastnight's southbound Yukon. The rainbow had been caught by Bob Henning, Empire reporter, and iced for ship- ping to Ralston. tried to get some information, as the stoic “catcher of the rainbow” said nothing. At 3 o'clock this afternoon, O'- Neil was gone. He left word that he was going bear hunting . and around the Peterson - Lake country. But what will make Bob Henning laugh is the the “bear hunter” rod with him. It's half-mile hike into brushy country.

The construction of approxi- mately 183 to 275 miles of new high- way in Alaska and about 1000 miles of new highway in Canada will pro- | vide an overland connection with | Alaska and the Territory along the | route with a vast system of roads in the United States, Canada and Al- aska 5. The stage-construction process |!s favored in carrying forward the | project. The first minimum stan- | dards should require a roadway of |about 24 feet in width with a good | | gravel surface, reasonable gradients | and curves. The standards could b2 | raised as traffic warrants and funds | may become available, the same as | has been done, in the constructing of ‘the present sygwm in the United States and Canada. 6. The Commissioners’ negotia. | tions with the Canadian Commission | have not as yet reached a final stage relative to the financing of the pro- | ject. It is reasonable, however, to assume from the type and nature of | the negotiations, hereinafter dis- ~ussed, that an’ equitable financial | formula can be worked out satisfac- | “ory to both nations commensurate | to the benefit involved and to be de- | | rived. The value of the contemplated | highway to the United States and | Canada, individually and collective- | |'v, s inestimable. No sound argu- | ment can be presented denying that | he benefit to both countries woulda far exceed the total cost. * Recommendations ‘ 1. That further investigation, stud-| | fes and revised estimates of the cost | f constructing the highway be made | of the routes mentioned in this re- | port, | 2. That the life of this Commis- ion be extended so that it may con- | tinpe its investigations and make| arrangements with the Canadiar. | Government leading to the comple- | tion of ghis highway project. 3. That an office for the Commis- sion be established as early as pos- | sible at a place to be chosen by Lhe Commission. That the Commissior: be authoriz- 2d to appoint necessary personnel for this office from within or with- out the Commission in order that complete data concerning the high- way mav be assembled and analyzed. | Under ihe me raethod of carry- | ‘ng forward the work of the Commis- | sion, each Commissioner necessarily | handles much correspondence ad- dressed to him concerning the high- | way, which in the very nature of | things does not tend for united ac- | tion in matters of policy relating to| the project. The Canadian Commis- | sion has in its files many data of | factual character congerning thc‘ portion of the project in Canada such as maps, plans, estimates, re-‘ connaisance and aerial photogra- phic surveys, which it will undoubt- edly present to the United States Commission for consideration. The appointment of the necessary per- sonnel would place the Commission in a position to fully analyze reports relating to studies for the survey, | location, specifications, estimates | and plans for the financing of the| construction and maintenance of the | highway. 4. That surveys of the two alwr-E nate routes in Alaska should be made | as soon as possible, leading to the| early construction of those portions | of the highway in Alaska which will be an immediate benefit to local comunities. Proyvision should be made for stationing weather observ- ers for at least one winter season to report on weather conditions, par- | ticularly in connection with gales, | snowfall and drifts on the passes. | 5, An appropriatich of $32,000 is | recommended.
