State Highway
Crews Prepare
For Winter Blast
Thirty-five Cars
0e Ashes VIII Be
ReouisitiOned Here

OF Man Winter, who is just
around the corner, will not catch
the Noble county state highway
road crews mapping if advance
indications mean anything. Thir-
teen carloads of ashes arrived in
Caldwell, Saturday, and highway
employees began unloading pre-
parations Monday morning. The
unloading is being rushed be-
cause materials consigned to the
Fenton Construction Co. are due
to arrive here early this week.
1t is hoped that the railroad sid
ing on the west side of town will
be vacated by Tuesday evening
or Wednesday morning.
The materials, due to arrive
this week, will be used by the
company on contract job call
ing for resurfacing of route 70
starting at the junction of 78 and
260, just south of East Union, and
running to the Monroe county
line.
Some thirty-five cars of ashes
are on requisition for use this
winter, according to the local of
flee of the highway department.
The thirteen cars that arrived
here Saturday are only a part of
the overall amount and another
shipment will be received later
this fall. Besides this tremend-
Gus amount of ash, several tons
of salt and chloride will be used
in mixing the snow-melting pre-
paration.
Two much travelled highways
in the Noble county area are
now receiving a Stabilization
compound and seal of black top
and work on the two is virtually
complete. Route 285 between
Caldwell and Sarahsville has de-
veloped into one of the better
state routes here since the new
black top treatment has been ap-
piled. The other road, 670, around
the south end of Seneca Lake, is
fast becoming good hard-sur-
faced highway as work there
nears completion. "
A new bridge, under construc-
ton on Route lat, has reached
the final stages and division
patching crews on the same road
have about finished work on that
project. The new bridge on lat is
located near Mt. Ephraim.
Ditching crews are now work
ing on Route 78, east of Caldwell
and are nearing the end of their
summers work following stren-
uous ditching program inaugur-
ated early this spring. Crews are
now working in the vicinity of
the Perryopolis church.
The schedule for the coming
weeks will be rounded out with
the installation of the. two multi
plate archs on Route lat and one
on l45 which will be installed
between Berne and Harrietts-
vile.

our education in mining gold. Two .. more days took us on a round trip over the Steese Highway to Circle City and Circle Hot Springs in a pickup truck. On Friday, while three of the group started down the highway by bicycle, four of us flew across the vast Yukon flats to Fort Yukon. On Saturday, two more left Fairbanks to begin the trek toward Valdez. The rest of us left on Sunday morning.
 Going down the highway in groups brought us into closer ac. quaintance with the Road Com mission and the "Mukluk Tele- graph" We did not like the scrap CTS any better than we had before but the men running them were such nice fellows that we could not help overlooking faults. How ever, our one aim with each new day was to stay ahead of the scrapers The "Mukluk Telegraph was much more efficient than Western Union Everyone on the highway knew where we were camped, when we brushed our teeth and when we flew over oul handle bars. Scattered as we were we were kept closely informed on where the others were and what they were doing. Most of us man. aged to get together 175 miles from Fairbanks, with the help of the Telegraph" of course.
 We enjoyed a lazy ride down the Richardson Highway. It was interesting to compare notes as we went along. Here the landscape reminded someone of the Berk- shires and Connecticut. Another spot might have been transplanted from Montana or Kansas. One place looked so much like Northern

Michigan, complete with Indians, that two of us wanted to jump off our bicycles and call it home. The south side of Thompson's Pass could have been the setting for a western movie. We fully expected to see great herds of cattle grazing or cowboys and Indians popping up from behind the rocks. A leisurely walk through Keystone Canyon provided quiet, relaxing climax.
 We @coasted into Valdez on Aug. 12 in time to find out that the Aleutian was to be late. This time we had time to appreciate Valdez, it's lovely mountainous setting and it's people. The next day Valdez was back in form. It rained for two days.
 Returning to Ketchikan after an absence of six weeks was like re- turning home and picking up old friendships. We climbed Deer Mountain one day in the sunshine. When we left Ketchikan aboard the Prince Rupert on August 19, it was with sadness for the trip was over and we were leaving Alaska, most of us without having even seen a bear.
 In six weeks we had become at tached to Alaska and the friendly Alaskans. We were thrilled by the beauty of Alaskan scenery - the comfortable moss-covered moun- tains as well as the rugged snow clad peaks; lakes of jade and blue, and the clear, cold. energetic little mountain streams. We were espe- cially impressed by and grateful for the kindness and generosity of Alaskans who welcomed us so whole-heartedly and offered us so much of their time, knowledge and resources.

Anchorage was hot and dusty. Every camp site we picked was alive with mosquitoes. Two days of hiking and two nights of fight ing mosquitoes were enough. We left Anchorage on the dusty, gravel-covered road headed toward Palmer. Before that ordeal was over some of us were convinced that the way to see Alaska was by road scraper or bull dozer.
 For two days we bumped over gravel and hills, through dust and traffic. In that time we learned that when Alaska roads were carefully maintained it meant that those roads were deep enough in gravel to swallow up a bicycle Road scrapers were more hindrance than help in our point of view They just moved the boulders back into the middle of the road. covering even the welcomed auto mobile tracks. When we found out that the Butte road was in poor condition it was happy news. For five miles we rode in comparative comfort and enjoyed the ride. No hills, no traffic. no dust, no gravel.
 It was a thirty-four mile grind that day and many of those miles were spent thinking nasty thoughts about automobile drivers w h o should be boiled in oil Thirty four miles at home would have been a short spin. Here it was days work.
 We reached Palmer early in the evening. After that visit in Palmer we were convinced that Alaska was a fair match for any locality boasting hospitality and friendli- ness We gathered enough provi- sions for several days. then left Palmer toward noon of the next day. Our crowd was becoming notorious for getting started at noon. We took the road to Will low, leaving dust, gravel and traf fife. But one cannot expect every thing to be perfect The hills be- came more and more prominent Going uphill all afternoon can be- come a hardship. We travelled for several hours at five miles per hour. finally reaching the Little Susitna Lodge to pause, rest and converse. One more mile of push ing up the switch back to the pass was enough for that day
 Friday, July Is, was a day few of us will ever forget because of it's extremes. Pushing a packed bi- cycle up the side of a mountain for five miles was not easy. We Sweated that trail. The lack of traffic. the beauty of the scenery. the many species of wild flowers and favorable weather saved the day. Some of us hiked up to the
