ALCAN JOURNEY
IS WONDERFUL
SAY SEATTLITE5

Driving a GMC truck with a new
Oldsmobile as cargo from Seattle
to Fairbanks by the Alcan High
way was a wonderful experience
for Mr.. and Mrs. Hudson T. Tarte
of Seattle who have been in Ju-
neau for the last several days
visiting Mr.. and Mrs. Vern Lee
of Connors Motors.
Mr.. Tarte is associated with his
brother. r. J. Tarte in the opera
ton of the Transport Storage ana
Distributing Company in Seattle,
the company which handles the re-
ceiving and shipment of all cars
in and out of the Sound city with
the exception of Fords and Inter-
ational. 1t is to arrange new sys-
tenn for the purchase and eXpedit-
ing of automobile parts to Alaska
dealers that Mr.. Tarte is making
his trip through the Territory.
OF all the people making the
highway trip at present, Mr.. Tarte
said that about so percent were
seeking employment in Fairbanks
and Anchorage and the remainder
tourists, many of them from the
middle west.
But I'd suggest to tourists that
they plan to drive one way only
and ship their cars home, say from
Valdez. Even with fine accommoda-
tions along the way and beautiful
scenery, 1900 miles is quite jour-
ney, and driving one way is
enough, Tarte said
There is no worry about gas
along the way, though an extra 10
gallons is a good idea. The highest
price for gas is 81 cents and the
average about As cents a gallon, ac-
cording to the travellers. The rivers
were too high for good fishing, but
the Tartes were told fishing should
be Just right later in July. And the
~ OoO VI DoWoOlA SlCCh
should be avoided during rain. It's
gumbo and mean going when wet.
BY fall the road from Tok Junction
to Fairbanks will be all blacktop.
Anyone coming north now should
approach the highway from Shelby,
instead of Kings Gate
because of construction to Pincher
Creek, There is lot of new work
icing done on the highway in
Canada-mostly taking out curves
In fairbanks the Tartes visited
Cecil Wells and Percy Hubbard,
General Motors dealers, flew to
and from Anchorage to
Juneau by Pacific Northern. A fish
ing trip at Tee Harbor with Fats
Lee on the Fourth of July I'VE
each caught a fish"-was a high
light of the Tarte's stay in Juneau.
They were Pan American passen-
gers to Seattle today and say they
will be telling everyone they meet
about the wonderful Alcan trip
md they will have pictures to prove
he scenic beauty of the journey.
