BlAZED OUT

Plans for the blazing out of the
Happy creek route to the Tolovana

preparation by the Fairbanks Com
mercial club, according to unauthen-
tic information which has leaked
out, it being understood that the

and report accordingly. A reply to
their wire had not been received
at the time the signal corps Office
closed last night.
When asked concerning his in
tentions in the matter Of the Happy
trail Mr.. Tug stated yesterday that
he would not take the trip unless
ordered to do so by reason of the
fact that he has received orders to
let the matter rest until the arrival
here of Col. Richardson. He furth-
er stated that he is not in posi-
ton at the present time to state
just what the road commission will
do about helping to construct the
trail even as winter road

is to be succeeded here by r. J.

planning to bring in their outfits and
machinery by an entirely new route.

ridges, can be built from Livengood
