Says Meziadin Country
 Is Economic Asset

Wltn the second lnSCallment 0l
 MT. Ernest Blues interesting article on the Meziadin Lake and upper Mass River section, considered from the stondpoint of their economic value to this section and also their re- lation to the proposed Hyder- Stewart branch of the Pacific Yukon-Alaska Highway con- struction project.-Editor)
 As one approaches the Bear River Pass and views the route at close range, the myth of difficult construction fades to insignificant dimensions. Not a single mile of the terrain from American Creek to the summit ot the pass presents any great CT problem of either engineer ing or construction than did the Texas Creek highway. Of the eight or ten miles to the summit, there are at least eight miles that present no difficulties whatever; while construction on the mile or mile and a half through the pass would be no more diffi- cult than was the construction of the Texas Creek highway at the upper canyon.
 Beyond the pass and east ward to MeZiadin Lake, the construction problems would be no greater than would be involved in building a road up the Bear River valley. In the entire distance from American Creek to Meziadin Lake, some twenty-two miles, but. one bridge of any consequence would be required. This would be at Surprise Creek, about four miles west of Meziadin Lake.
 With this section of the road opened to auto travel, Mezia- din Lake could be reached ir about three-hour drive from Stewart and annex to Stewards back door a country hundreds of miles in extent, the potential wealth of which is beyond computation.
 Meziadin Lake is vertically an inland sea, set among per petually snow-capped mount aims rising directly from the waters edge. The lake and it's surroundings are unexcel- led for scenic beauties and would become veritable Mec- ca for tourists and visitors as soon as transportation ever reaches its shores. The north end of Meziadin Lake lies in a non-mineral formation but to the south, east and north the country possesses excel lent mineral production pos abilities. The region is cover- ed with virgin timber in quan- tity and quality unsurpassed anywhere.
 From the information avail able, it appeared to the mem bers of the joint highway con- mittee that the most practical route for a connecting link be- tween Stewart and the north erly end of the present high way system in British Colum- bia would be to follow the Bowser Lake trail from Mez- iadin Lake to Hanna River bridge; thence over the old Kitwanga trail to the Mass, hence upon leaving Meziadin Lake, the writer travelled over this route and was at once impressed with the simplicity

t5s
 Warner Bros State theater pre- sents. as its feature picture, starting morrow, "Iron Man" starring Lew Ayres who climbed to stardom after marvellous performances in "All Quiet on the Western Front and "The Doorway to He'll"
 This picture gives Ayres the op- portunity to display his talents in an altogether different story. While he is still lighting" it is not with soldiers or gangsters this time he's a member of the leather-swap- ping fraternity and as knight of the squared circle engages in battles where one oft times emerges with black eyes and swollen jaws <. .. but much better than carrying around the lead from rifles and guns in ones anatomy.
 The story narrates how Ayres in the role of a pugilist forges ahead to the top of the ladder under the guiding wing of his manager played by Robert Armstrong. He meets a girl, Jean Harlow, falls in love and forsakes his friends and his man. ager-pal all for this beautiful blonde, only to find out that he has been tricked and that she is in league with his ring enemies. There is ac- tion galore in this picture and Ayres once again displays his dramatic ability.
