T, on the route of the White Pass and Yukon Ralil- way, Rep. Warren Magnuson of Washington informed the House to- day that the “real commercial pos- sibilities of ingress” to Alaska from the Northwest are not completed. He stated in his speech that the connecting highway, which| would start at Prince George, B.C., was approved by Secretary of the Interior Harold L. Ickes, but “met opposition” from Secretary of War Henry Stimson. Said Magnuson, “I point out to the House the necessity for this construction, both from the military standpoint and otherwise.” His speech included a statement from the Seattle Chamber of Com- merce, listing 10 advantages for the 2 pound DILL P | Carnegie, Acting Grand Lecturing | |Knight; E.

It would give alternate railheads at Dawson Creek and Prince George and would afford the Army (wo access routes to Alaska, also link- ing the Pacific Coast war produc- tion centers with the war supply depots of the United States and Canada. It would make possible the build- ing of airfields to serve both the air route to Alaska and the Orient, | and in the post-war period would aid in the development of impor- tant metal and timber resources. The area traversed would also serve the populous section of South- east Alaska, and continue the na- tural and long-standing trade re- | lationships between Alaska and the iPacific Coast, and has advantages for future tourist development, the report concluded. e —— Park Service - Will Survey ~ AMlaska Road 2 pound VEGETABLES FOR S ACH — MUSHROOMS Fruit Cocktail Royal Ann Cherries Strawberries Raspberries | | Phone, Write or Wire Us Your Orders | =— ———— | important travel artery through n“ \great scenic wilderness, one that | will be of recreational importance jand will serve the settlers who will |follow when the road is opened to' public travel. | Allyn P.
