tunnel is the nations, fourth long est. ssJ tl
 The contractor was with the con- struction company which holed in at one end of the tunnel on No vember l9, 1941. The job, which was managed by Maj C. B. Bur goyne, the Army's resident engi- neer, and A. M. Coker, western superintendent, was finished at least several weeks ahead of the best estimates.
 The tunneling was particularly difficult, and because of the na- ture of the rock, which shattered badly under the blasting the tun- nel cost S53000o.
 Col O. F. Ohlson, General Mana ger of the Alaska Railroad, esti- mated that the tunnel would re- suit in 30 percent decrease in railroad freight rates to Anchorage and between a T and percent de- crease for Fairbanks.

contractors, there was no reason for failure
 Grover Whalen, who popped up at the dedication unexpectedly called the highway road of peace and good will for war"
 The new road is not pioneer by any means, but more resembles the well-kept county roads in the States. A feat of 10000 soldiers and 2,000 civilians working six months, the road links up North and South America. The job has been called by many as remarkable and as great an engineering achievement as the canal which severed t h e Western World for water trans portation.
 The primary purpose of the pro- ject-a supply line from Edmonton to Fairbanks, now is a reality.
 Plan Haines Road
 Plans already are underway for the next big job--that of building Ia distribution network to points along Alaska's 26,000- coastline.
 Surveying parties of the Public Roads Administration already are at work charting road from Haines at the end of the Inside Passage to connect with the new highway just east of Fairbanks and Gen. O'Connor stated that i've are going to try to build it this winter"
 This road would be 40 miles long, would carry waterborne freight from the Pacific Coast to Fairbanks for distribution.
 A convoy system of carrying the freight over the Alcan road already is in operation. With camps located approximately 50 miles apart, one driver will serve each route, driving both ways over the short lap along with others stationed at his camp, working in short shifts.
 Tough on Trucks
 The north's below-zero weather already has played havoc with ve- hicle operation A few drops of water in the gas will freeze gas line tight Brakes freeze if left on while the truck is halted But the drivers are learning the tricks of sub-zero operation.
 Another snag is put forth by the unpredictable rivers of the wilder ness country. The recent rampage of the Peace River took out 200 feet of the new bridge spanning its waters, but that is being re- paired, or has been, faster than the several hundred other bridges were built and freight is now nov ing along the entire route.
 The highway is being improved steadily while in operation It was, a job well done, and Col. John w. Wheeler of the Corps of Engineers expressed the. sentiments of both Canadians and Americans when he gave the shortest speech of the ceremony, his cold weath CT speech,F saying: ITO the gang who built the road-thanks a million ?
 The pioneering is over The housekeeping and expansion has begun ES sE #@ s9 |b Starting in Edmonton, ssAAlberta, the new road runs through Dawson Creek, Fort St. John, Fort Nelson, Watson Lake, Teslin, Whitehorse, Burwash, Tanacross and Big Delta into Fairbanks.
 There was no shortage of cor respondents at the ceremony. Maga- zine writers, feature writers, pho- tographers and newsreel men prac- tically filled an entire barracks.

Henry Davis ate a pear and of fered him a job at the highest price Mister, you can have the rest of the pears" exclaimed the creater of "Bagdad on the Sub way" and he went to work. The World fired" him after a while Davis later hired him. on a five year contract, to write for Mun- sey's Magazine
 Davis adopted different tactics when he was assigned to get Israel zangwill to write about Jewish life in New York City The top offer was $500, which Davis split into two parts-$200 and s3O0-and stuck into two pockets
 His Half-Jewish Friend
 When the question of price arose, the author of "The Melting Pot said Would $500 be fair?"
 Fair enough" said Davis and placed the money promptly in his hand.
 Suppose I had asked for $500 instead?" asked zangwill. What then?'
 The other wad of money emerged from Davis pocket in mocking reply and then went back again.
 Thereafter Zangwill always re- ferred to Davis as my half Jew ish friend"
 Davis kept in his desk an un- opened letter from Zane Grey, with instructions not to open it until the recipient was ill or feeling blue'' He never felt blue" It was Davis and $2,5O0 check that turned Grey from an unknown Ohio dentist into one of Americas best known writers.
 Sells Story for $6,000
 Ben Ames Williams was mak- ing $3,000 a year as a Boston man when he visited the Davis office. Davis advised him to quit his job and write fic- tion, backing up the advice with a of $5,000 year. When Williams turned in his first story, Davis knew it was worth more than the Munsey Magazine would pay, so he advised him to sell it to The Saturday Evening Post, where it brought $6,000.
 Frank Packard was still typo when he wrote The Miracle Man" at Davis suggestion. Mon- tague Glass would never have written Potash and Perlmutter, !" were it not for Davis. Glass, dis couraged by constant rejection slips, was ready to go back to his law practice when Davis guaran- teed to buy his next three articles The jinx was broken.
