tractive to tourists; it will be possi- ble to connect Alaskan Coastal towns with the highway whereas to make the connections from the other route would be extremely difficult. From Whitehorse the American Commissioners prefer the Lake Klu- ane route for the glory of it's scen- cry. for its hunting and fishing, but chiefly because it will open up the upper Panama and the Forty Mile district now so woefully lacking in roads to the promising placer dis tricts The engineers of the two Commissions want more definite in- formation regarding both routes be- fore finally committing themselves.
 The Canadians are nov hioe-pound regarding choice of routes and ex- pect to complete better reconnais- sance during the coming working season. They wish to meet the de- sires of their colleagues as far as possible. Either route will open up a great deal of the practically un- explored northern British Columbia It is agreed by all that there is con- siderable investigation to be done. Much of the meteorological informa- tion is mere hearsay. The residents along "A" say the snow and storms on "B" are terrible. On "B" they say there is practically no snow and that the open season is longer. We'll, you and I know the old-timer.
 Delay Inevitable
 It is great disappointment to some of the Commission members that the road cannot be started im- mediately. This would hardly be possible. There are locations to be surveyed through the. mountain passes, big holes to be bridged, con- struction costs to be weighed, wealth CT conditions noted-a thousand and one matters to be carefully consid- cred, as many costly mistakes as possible to be avoided It is agreed that there should be number of air landing fields all along the highway. In this way commercial and military needs would be helped. For military uses the road serves no purpose except as guide to air traffic. It would be for the tourist, the sportsman, and the settler. For the tourist there must be road hous- es and supply stations. There must be shelter cabins on the passes for the suddenly Stormbound.
 Land Water Circuit
 The existing transporta tion com panies should be benefited for there will be increased one-way traffic during the four or five months of favorable weather. The tourist will go over the entire route as far as Valdez and then take the steamer to Seattle Many will embark at Whitehorse for river ride to Daw- son. Of the tourists, some will stick in the country

routes. I am not sure that they may recommend route, but it is hoped by us that the same commits sioners may be given increased powers covering not only the loca- tion of the road but the intricate matter of finance which so far has only been briefly touched upon.
 Washington Interested
 In Washington I find no oppoSi- tion to the scheme. I heard mem bers of Congress from Florida tell Chairman Magnuson that they were heartily in favor of the road. Now Florida could hardly be benefited At luncheon I sat next to Secre- tary of Agriculture Wallace When this Commission be frightened up and is enthusiastic for road not only to Alaska but for a road from Alaska to the Argentine. Magnuson talks it and dreams it. Governor Gruening switches the conversation to the road whenever possible. Mc- Donald thinks of nothing else. Un- fortunately I have not been in di- rect touch with Mir Cary but from his writings know that he is deeply interested. AS any engineer he IS careful to want more particulars Some day the road will be built Canada is belligerent nation and the war may delay her participa ton. The United States is concerned over expenditures. Here too may be a cause for hesitancy. There is no royal road to progress.
 The original estimates of costs of $14,0O0,000 will have to be re- vised. Instead of 16-foot road bed, only 24-foot road will now satisfy. The guesses at bridges seem rather low. Yes, it will cost more than $14, 100000.
 1900 Miles To Go The distance by land from &c., attle to Fairbanks is roughly 23O0 miles. Some HOO miles of road have been constructed. This leaves about 1900 miles still in the nude to be all dolled up. It will take lot of dressing.
 l do not want to wind up this more or less incoherent article with out addressing my appreciation to pr. Philip s. Smith of the Geologi- cal Survey and his able assistants. to our own Ike Taylor who carries a lot of gray matter under his hat and to those daring motorcyclists, Slim Williams and John Logan, who rode, carried or cussed their gaso- line horses all the way from Fair banks to HaZelton.

There are three possible routes; "A" 7" "B." and e." "C" route was elim- mated. "A" Route starts at Hazel ton and goes by the Stikine River and the Klappan River past the foot of Lake Teslin, along Lake Atlin to Whitehorse, Y. T. From White horse it can follow practically along the old White Pass winter trail into Dawson and from thence over the ridges between the Panama and For ty Mile drainages connecting with the Richardson Highway at the Con- fluence of the Delta and the Tan ana.
 Two Routes
 An alternate route from White horse is via Kluane Lake to the White River crossing at the lower canyon, into the headwaters of the Panama and down that river to Fair banks.
 Route B" commences at Prince George and runs well to the west of Route "A" through the Rocky Moun- tain Trench to the Pelly River, down the Pelly to Pelly Crossing where it joins the old winter mail route to Dawson. Then from Dawson to Fairbanks over the hills as de-

Two Routes to Alaska Un- der Consideration by

By THOMAS RIGGS, Member Alaskan International Highway Commission

There is a dynamic little member of Congress from the State of Wash ington named Warren c. Magnuson. Unlike most CongreSsmen he has lots of brown hair. From beneath all this well kept hair pair of keen blue eyes look out from a clear healthy plexion. His shoulders are broad, his waistline is well under his chest. He walks with a little swagger. His pants have a knife-like crease. Magnuson is chairman of our Commission and sold on the proposition 100 percent.
 Then there is Ernest H. Gruen- ing. You will hear lot more of him in the next two years. He is your Governor and unless miss my bet he is going to make swell one even if he has to hustle to keep up with the record of his predecessor. There are Donald Mcdonald of Fair banks who is the father of the pro- feet, J. w. Carey, able engineer of Seattle and myself.
 Commission To Die
 This Commission dies natural death on May 3l, 1940. The law says that we are then to die, but there seems little doubt but that Con- gress and the President will raise US from the dead and make our lie more lasting.
 I am asked by the Daily Alaska Empire to write an article on the highway. Now in our early days we agreed that the Chairman should be our one fountainhead for public ity. I called up his office just now He was in a committee meeting. He is always busy at something. By the way, Tony Dimond is not the only member of Congress who works I contacted Mary and Mary says says she, T know the Congressman will be glad to have you do some of the work. He is tired of being the only one to plan and think about this highway and it is time that youse guys did something be- sides wear your m d Is and dt nothing" Those are not her exact
