EAGLE RIVER IS
 TO HAVE ROAD
 NEAR CANNERIES
Experienced Government Road Crew Has Been Sent Out to Continue
 Road to Eagle River

The road crew which arrived from Valdez on one of the late boats has been sent out on the government road. that is being built between Ju. feau and Eagle River The men are all experienced road builders who have worked on roads in the vicin ity of Valdez for, number of years. They left for the road camp in the Vicinity of Aux Bay last Sunday
 A slight change in plan has been made in the new road that is to con meet this place with Eagle river. It was planned to swing out short distance from Aux Bay in the vicin- ity of the canneries there which would make it necessary to go by trail from the road to the canneries. This plan has been changed and the road will run in the immediate vicin- ity of the cannery plants and then swing off on it's way to Eagle river.
 Those who have been over the new stretch of road past Mendcnhall are loud in praise of the work. The new stretch that is being built this year is regular United States military road and is broad highway on which three vesicles can pass abreast.
