It is a friendly concrete-sheathed arm reaching out, beckoning commerce. country. They did call it an ambassador because it must first be the subject of diplomatic action be- tween the Road Commission in Alaska and Public Works officials in British Columbia—with open money- bags underlining good will. But the dream is there. And when it is no longer a dream, a concrete-sheathed arm will beckon com- merce to Juneau. It will open a country which is potenual wealth waiting for a way to get out. And it will. be an invitation to millions—new friends, new | settlers—who would never have thought it possible | for them to come to Southeast Alaska’s fiord country | which'in 1949 was pretty pictures in travel maga- | zines. And it will be an ambassador of good will for a | thousand miles through Canada to Juneau. Who Would Go So Far, Just to See Eagles? (Seattle Times) There is a move in Congress to enact a law to protest the American eagle in the last habitat where it abounds, Alaska. . Congress has passed legislation protecting the bald eagle from destruction in all the States of the Union, but the northern Territory was excepted. There a bounty is placed on the national bird on the theory that it feeds on game. Studies by the Fish and Wild- life Service, however, indicate that the eagle is not so dangerous a predator, and that it feeds chiefly on carrion. The move to protect Alaska’s eagles is supported by the Territory’s Governor Ernest Gruening, who points out that “the eagle, which can be seen in Alaska as nowhere in the United States, is a very real tourist attraction.” True, the bird does add interest to the Alaska scene, if one is fortunate enough to see one.
