Fauna of Alaska

The faunal life of Alaska is var jed and interesting. There are four major faunal regions, comprising the sountheastern coast. interior Alaska, the Alaska Peninsula and Aleutian Islands and the Arctic slope. Fewer species of animals are found in the interior. Among the characteristic mammals of this section are Moose, caribou, red fox, lynx, black bear. wolverine, marten, mink. weasel, muskrat, beaver, hare and squirrels. Many species of ducks, geese and other water fowl breed in the lakes during the summer season. Spruce grouse and other varieties of the grouse family are common in the valleys and ptarmigan are numerous on the higher elevations. Canada jays, hawks, ravens and smaller birds also occur. Fish are abundant in the streams. Salmon run for hundreds of miles up the rivers and form an i'm portant source of food supply. Lakes abound and forestation is fairly heavy.
 The southeastern coastal region diff fers widely from interior Alaska. DCti are IuulciOuS III llllS lOH A great many varieties of brown, black and grizzly bears occur, some of the latter being very large. Big horn sheep are abundant in the high mount aims. Wolves and coyotes also exist in certain sections. Whistling marmot related to the eastern wood chuck are numerous. Bird life includes most of the land game birds of Puget Sound and British Columbia, in addition to many shore birds. Bald eagles are numerous. Salmon run in the streams in myriads and many kinds of marine fish are found along the coasts. This is q region of high mountains, mild climate, and is densly forested.
 The Alaska Peninsula is in sharp contrast to the southeastern coast There are no forests and the land scape is generally bleak and bare. Several species of brown and grizzly bear, hares and smaller, animals oc- cur, but the most abundant animals are the marine forms living along the shores. There are many seals, including great fur-seal herds on the Pribloff islands. and sea lions.
 The Arctic slope is flat and devoid of timber The vegetation is confined largely to mosses, horbs and small shrubs. The mammals include white fox, white Arctic hare, the weasel. lemming and other small species of similar habits. Polar bear are found on the coasts, seals are numerous, and several varieties of whale exist. The birds are ptarmigan, curlew, and shore birds, and ducks and geese breed in numerous lakes.

A Remarkable Bond of Unity
By Hon. 5. F. Tolmie PREMIER OF BRITISH COLUMBIA

"As friendly gesture between two great peoples, the proposed Internat- | ional Highway from Alaska to the United States through British Col umbia and the Yukon is outstanding Such q scheme is possible only where the peoples are entirely en rapport and completely in sympathy with each ether.
 "A striking evidence of this feeling of international goodfellowship was afforded by the Jubilee Celebrations of July 1Sth20th., when tre citizens of IIyder joined hands with those of Stewart in congratulating British Col umbia on it's siXtieth anniversary as a unit of the Dominion Of Canada in a spontaneous expression of friend ship and goodwill which will be re- membered when other happenings which bulked more largely at the moment have been forgotten.
 "So much has been said and written already in regard to this proposed International Highway that little can be added at this present juncture.
 At the moment the question is largely financial one. That the road would be enormously beneficial is quie generally recognized. For in stance, it would open travel route directly to Alaska for one hundred and twenty millions of people from the United States. who could not pass through British Columbia with cut our benefitting very largely from the hugely augmented stream of traf fife
 "Again, to link Alaska directly to the Union by this direct overland route would aid enormously in it's de- |yelopment and expansion, by throwing your wonderful national playground wide open to millions of people to whom meantime it is remote. The people of the United States are sin gularly fortunate in their country which offers them the Yellowstone and Yosemite, the Grand Canyon of Colorado and the colorful coasts of California, but in Alaska an entirely new field awaits them. The proposed highway would bring it conveniently within reach, and at the same time would enable travellers properly to see

! city where the special commissioners for the United States, Major Malcolm Elliott, president of the Alaska Road Commission, Ernest Walker Sawyer, personal representative of the Secre- tary of the Interior, and Herbert H. Rice, assistant to the president of General Motors Corporation, are hold ing their first formal conference with the Canadian commissioners, Hon. George Black, Member of Parliment for Yukon Territory, Chairman; J. NJ Wardle, Chief Engineer, Parks Branch, Banff, B. C., Representing Federal Government; George P. Ma pier, Assistant Chief Engineer, Public Works Department, Victoria, B. C., representing Province of British Col umbia.
 As outlined recently by MT. Ernest Walker Sawyer of the U. S. commis- sion, three major steps have been taken so far toward the consun- nation of the great project, as fol- lows:
 1. The Pacific-Yukon Highway idea has been crystaized
 2, The forces have been gathered and law passed, the United States Congress giving the project internat- ional recognition.
 5, The preliminary survey of 500 miles of a proposed location is an accomplished fact.
 Continuing, Mr Sawyer said that tfe next step is to complete surveys and study the economic feasibility of various routes.
 The important point in the fore ground now is how will the construct ion be financed. It is too early to state what financial plans will be agreed upon CT outlined or proposed, but whether it be a special bond is que or concession, will no doubt await complete estimates of the cost and routes. Both toll gates, gas taxes and other systems have been sug- gested and will no doubt be given careful consideration.
 Concluding his statement MT. Saw yer said:
 "it is my belief that the road is warranted by the country it passes through. The rich Cassiar and Stik- inc are alone sufficient to justify the construction, as undoubtedly those sections are the most heavily min eralized of any sections of British Columbia, while the beauties of At lin are known throughout the world
 "The Yukon, on the other hand, has not only mineral resources and scen- cry of it's own particular brand, but it has the lure of Dawson, White horse, Klondike, the mighty Yukon and the days of '9S.
 Fairbanks, the goal of the road, is the heart of that great Territory, Alaska, the Land of the Midnight Sun. It's attractions, especially to American tourists, are unlimited and it's opportunities Tn lode mining and other pursuits are staggering. One cannot forget Fairbanks.
 l hope and expect to see this road, the Pacific Yukon Highway, passable from Seattle to Fairbanks within five years"

Since the building of the Panama Canal, no project presented to the people of North America has attract ed wider attention than the proposed Pacific c-Yukon-Alaska international highway.
 This interest is due not alone to she fact that this 2OO0 mile highway would be one of the greatest single road construction proposals ever un- dertaken, or that it would be of in ternational character. Rather it is due to. the assurance that at the end of it's mighty course would lie Alaska-"The Land of the Midnight Sum-" alluring land of gold; land of mighty spaces and scenic marvels.
 Since the great highway proposal was first broached evidences have multiplied that Alaska is the attract ion behind the widespread interest attaching to this great project.
 Go east, go vest everyone who pos sesses desire to travel is desirous of visiting Alaska. Its vast golden riches; it's titanic glaciers, far winding rivers and sky-piercing peaks; it's furs and ivory: and its never setting summer sun, have been a mighty lure to unnumbered thous- ands. AS the magnet draws the steel bar, so to Alaska is drawn the i'm agination of all who have come to know of the great Northern Terri tory and it's diversified wonders.
 With the whole modern world go- ing on wheels. only an avenue of travel is needed to bring to realiz- atlon the dream of so many people of one day visiting and seeing for them selves this marvellous and historic frontier land
 With the opening of such a high way-revealing not alone the wond- CTS of Alaska, but also the splendid scenic beauties of British Columbia and Yukon Territory-would come an nually from east and west and south to this mysterious and alluring North land mighty caravan of motorists, following the Golden Twilight Trail"
 Northward from Seattle and Van couver, the journeying host of sight seers would wind their way over the famous old Cariboo Trail along the impressive Frazer River Canyon and by beautiful, trout-filled lakes and streams, to Prince George, passing numerous smaller places enroute. Then onward through a land filled with mountain and sylvan beauties to Hazelton, historic landmark in the winning of Canada's Great West. At Hazelton the motorist would complete the first 1000 miles of the 2,000 miles of distance stretching between Seattle and Fairbanks. From this point the route of the great highway will follow approximately the line of tho old TaIapraDh Trail nathwav ni those pioneers of the late sos who sought to build a telegraph line across America to Asia and Europe by way of Alaska.
 Still farther northward the motor ist would enter the famed Cassiar mining district, discovered by the miners of '49 in their northward trek from the crowded California

Trail. Here the motorist may still see many of the historic land marks around which such writers as London, Serviss and others wove their tales of the gold rush days. Here, too, the traveller will cross the great Yukon, mightiest river of the North, on it's 2,000 mile journey to Boring Sea.
 Beyond Dawson lies historic Forty mile. on the Yukon, one of the North lands oldest landmarks. A short dist ance west of Forty-mile runs the h. ternational Boundary and here the traveller will at last enter the real Land of the Midnight Sun,-Alaska.
 From this point the Golden Twilight Trail will proceed through an ever interesting country to the Panama River and thence to the Northland's greatest and most widely known art cry of travel, the Richardson High way. extending from the very heart

umbia, which in itself offers them the novelty of a trip abroad.
 From the commercial standpoint, as an avenue of trade, the advantages are so very obvious that they hardly call for mention.
 Outside it's borders, few people realize that Alaska is immensely larger than British Columbia which itself is larger than the combined states of Washington, Oregon and California. Too little is known of it's extent and marvellous resources, there is too much understanding in re- gard to it's climate, but these disabil- Itles would soon be removed by the opening of this great International Highway.
 The Pacific Highway from Tia Juana to the fortyninth parallel has been tremendous asset to the Unit ed States and particularly those of the Pacific slope. Already we have in British Columbia a very wonderful route called the Cariboo Road which carries the traveller as for north as Hazelton. which lies just beyond the fifty-fifth parallel, so that to day one can motor all the way from Mexico to northern British Columbia over what is, I believe, the longest con- tinuous highway in the world.
 "To carry this on to Alaska would be possible over no less than six different routes, four of which would start from Hazelton, one from Wander hoof and one from Prince George.
 "To construct the road purely as a means of implementing and augment ing the tourist traffic, in my frank opinion, would be inadvisable; but as a development project it's possibilities are incalculable, and on that basis it would secure universal support. It is from that angle, then. that we must view it, and that is the angle to be borne in selecting the route.
 "At the moment, as I said before, there is little to add to what has al- ready been published, beyond to say that I think the advantages which would accrue are everywhere admit ted, and that I hope to see the Inter- national Highway an accomplished fact within the next few years"
