SURVEY AT ILIAMNA

Commenting on the recOnnalS- sance survey made of the proposed
 Iliamna y-Iliamna-Lake Clark road, Major Elliott said this is now under consideration and it's adop- tion probably will depend upon the amount of funds which may be available for next years work. Such a road, it was pointed out, would shorten by several hundred miles
 the present route which is by water around the end of the Alaska Pen- insula and up the river from Bris- Itol Bay.

Mckinley Park systems, Major Malcolm Elliott, president of the Alaska Road Com mission, who has returned to Jun Icau, expressed qualification over the results of the past seasons work. Generally speaking, he said all of the roads inspected are in ex- cellent condition. His trip took him os far North as Circle and to the Toklat River in Mt Mckinley National Park.
 INCREASE IN TRAFFIC As result of road bettermentS, he said, there was a noticeable in crease in both local and tourist travel in the Interior. A special rate has been made by the Alaska Railroad, the steamship companies and the Copper River Railroad whereby Interior autoists are able to ship their cars out over the rail road to Valdez or Cordova and re- turn to the Interior over the Rich ardson Highway. At one time, 13 Fairbanks cars were counted stand ing before a single Valdez hotel. WORK ON LOWELL CREEK

This is progressing .favorably Some delay was caused by a flood late in August which scattered materials that had been assembled by the contractor.
 The wing dams to the Hume have been completed. Filing is being driven for the Hume and it is be- leved the entire project will be fin ished by the end of the present year
