some point on Boring strait, there to
connect by ferryboats or tunnel with
proposed extension Of the Transsibe-

structed through the agricultural Sec
tons Of the territory, which will ulti-
mately have a large population, and
with feeders from the principal mining
districts, the road would as distinct
proposition have local traffic which
would more than pay the cost Of con-
struction and operation and go long
way toward making the whole project
a dividend paying enterprise. 1t may
be a long time before the globe trotting
traveller will ride through Alaska on
