THE D. .C, OCTOBER 27, 1929—PART ONE. " LASKAN HIGHWAY WILL BE STUDIED Congress Authorizes Investi-| gation of Road Linking With Canadian System. BY GRETC MITH. Another rush to Alaska may be ex-| pected in the not stant future. | This will differ g; however, from the one of 1898, in that it will be ac- complished in automobiles, over a mod- | ern highway, unsurpassed in perfection of engineering and beauty of scenery. A few weeks ago a bill was introduced | in both houses of Congress “providing | for a study regarding the construction | of a highway to connect the North-| western part of the United States with | British Columbia, Yukon Territory and Alaska, in _ co-operation _with the Dominion of Canada.” One of the commissioners appointed for this study Commissioners for Alaska, Maj colm Elliot, United Sta Army gineer Corps. Maj. Elliot, who has been stationed In Alaska for over two vea has made an exhaustive study of roads and high- ways throughout the Alaskan Territor: which offers rich opportunities in min- ing, agriculture and fur trading. Hun- dreds of miles of newly constructed roads have opened up one of the most beautiful and least known of the United States' possessions. The Jatest project for the construc- tion of the Pacific-Yukon Highway, as s international “boulevard” will be known. h t with enthusiasti .operation from officials of the In Department, which is the ian of Alaskan Territory Traveled By Plane. Accompanied by Maj. Elliot, Ernest Walker Sawyer, executive assistant to the Secretary of the Interior, made an extensive trip by aiiplane last Summer throughout various sections of Alaska, and he has returned to Washington heartily indorsing the plan for the con- struction of the highway, which will make it possible for citizens of the Pnited States to travel without inter- ruption from any section of this cour ry to the waters of the Yukon, travel- ing by easy stages, with night accom- modations at the numerous ‘“road houses” along the route.

Prom the road building standpoint, Maj. Elliot states that no great diffi- culties’ present_themselves in the con- struction of the highways. About a thousand miles of the road from Seat- tle to Hazelton, British Columbia, hav already been built. North of Hazel- ton there is a gap as far as White Horse, about 530 miles, over which no road has yet been built, but it has been ascertained that a trail leads through this territory, over which cattle have been driven in the past.

In the Northwest country through which the Pacific-Yukon highway will | pass, although no roads exist at’pres- | ent, there are trails which are con- stantly traveled by foot and by dog sled, and the road will therefore lead | through well known territory. Plans| for the highway have been so far-| reaching as to provide for the construc- | tion of a branch connecting with Daw- | son, about 100 miles from the main | route, and another with Juneau, the capital of Alaska.
