About 300. men are now working on the highway, Taylor said. He believes grading work can be con- tinued until the first of November and said that bridge and rock work will be continued throughout the winter. 1 High Standard With the army officials at Fort Richardson interested in using the; road for transportation to the In- terior, it is being constructed on a higher standard than the Richard- son Highway, he said, especially from the standpoint of wiith and allignment,. Taylor said the new road leading % miles from the landing on the; Kuskokwim River. to the leotm;l and Ophir mining districts was put in service the first of September,| when the new 250-foot steel span sver the Takotna River was opened for traffic.

MARKS OPENING OF DUCK SEASON Dufresne Promises Plenty of Ducks at Menden- hall, Eagle River “We hope everybody has a good time, no one gets injured and there are no laws broken,” declared Frank Dufresne, executive officer of the Alaska Game Commission, today, speaking for the commission and about duck hunting season which opens at 7 a. m. tomorrow. With lots of birds on hand, it prcmises to be a fruitful onening cay, Dufresne said. Reports reach- ing the game commissicn office indicate that a bumper crop of {hunters may turn out for the first shooting. High school boys who have previously presented written excuses from their parents will be given the morning off to hunt, it was reported. Game commission patrolmen will be on hand at all hunting grounds, including Douglas Island side of the channel, Dufresne stated. He pointed out that every American citizen has the right to demand to see the other fellow’s license and duck stamp. “Juneau,” Dufresne declared, “is the only city in the Territory where duck. hunters can drive out to good duck flats for their hunting.” Be- gides the Mendenhall flats, how- ever, Dufresne pointed out that good shooting probably will be available. at Eagle River, Berner’s Bay, St. James Bay, Youngs Bay, Sumdum Flats and Sweetheart Flats. the Baugarok river has been com- pleted and that surfacing and grad- ing work is going forward. By the end of the season, it is ex- peeted that trucks will be able to operate from the end of the Tram Road to Taylor, following the win- ter freeze-up. ———e—— COURT HEARS DIVORCE Federal District Court was ir session throughout the day today, hearing evidence in the divorce case filed recently by Margaret | Kljaich, who asks divorce from Wuko .
