Tuisequoh-Tidewo+er
 Road Must Be Inflicted By Canada, Moves States

A road from Canada's Tulse- quah mining area to the shores of Taku Inlet is both practical and possible, Col. John R. Moves, head of the Alaska Road Commission, told the Juneau Chamber of Com merce recently. He added, how ever, that Canada must take the first steps to get it built.
 The ARC head further added that he didn't think it would be reasonably possible to continue the road for an additional 25 miles to Juneau, but that the distance would represent only a short car ferry haul.
 Juneau-ites are hailing the possibility of the Tulsequah road, since its construction, plus the completion of other roads now under construction in Canada, would give the city a highway and ferry connection with the Alaska Highway and the states.

was Unexpectedly and comically
nimble, like a fat man who sur
prises by jitterbugging when you
expect him to waltz. Roaring "Why
don't you look where you're

the light sedan just behind the
front seat.
There we're two reports - the
first harsh ''twang," and duller
crash like an afterthought. That
came when the steel grading blade,
running under the sedan like a
pancake turner, tipped it on its
side. The quivering tractor tow

three others. Wilkins feet were
caught in the window and the
rescuers stretched him like a ham,

warning, and he kicked viciously,
hitting nothing but his shins.

one of the used cars. The doctor
had parked a block farther. Now
the old physician, shaking his head
in disgust over a human race that
would not remember that one
liver is all you get, climbed alb
sently into the used car and
backed it out.
1t left a spot as choice as any
the bandits could have reserved -
short half block from the banks
front door on Main Street, on the
bank side of llth, and only twenty
feet from the bank S back windows.
AND here came Horgan. undoubt-
edly ready to turn east on 18th
and walk into the opening so
kindly provided. But here came
the red truck. too, sprinting down
the center of the street and pass
ing everybody, including the ban
dts sedan. The truck swung east
in the last split second of the
amber light. To the sheriff's sur
prise, Stranaghan wasn't at the
wheel. He had delegated the driv-
ing to the young assistant. That
wasn't like Stranaghan.
The truck numbered as far on
18th Street as the alley. Then it
stopped, and turned. and tried
ineptly to back. A coupe came
down 1lth and the truck got
gracefully out of the way. But it
was blocking the street again when
Horgan turned on to 1lth. Horgan
didn't mind. He had seen Doc
Waterford's space and slowed to
let the truck finish maneuvering.
The truck driver raced his power
full motor. But suddenly you
couldn't hear it at all. For an odd
monster had appeared in the
mouth of the alley. as if coming
out of a cave.
1t was a wheeled old trac-
tor, rearing over modern traffic
like some giant long-legged iron
bug. Across the front was a steel
grading blade so high only the top
of the huge tires could be seen, a
blade the sheriff estimated to be
one size smaller than a garage door.
High amidship, under faded
white parasol and looking like
machinery-loving rajah on an
armored elephant, sat Stranaghan.

route, so the sheriff saw lot of
strange faces through his binocu-
lars. Luckily there were few groups
of three. What he saw mostly was
a procession of angry motorists.
thwarted here by painting crew,
there by a No Stopping sign, and
once again by bad parking which
left room for two-thirds of a car
only. 1t may be because they did
not look surly that he spotted the
bandits so readily.
Their modest green sedan came
up Main from the south a little
before ten o'clock. 1t was the
second car in line at red light at
18th, so the sheriff got fair look.
Horgan was driving, beefy man,
half bald, who looked like his pic
lures. Wilkins was beside him -
lanky, long-faced, with straight
hair the color of orange shellac.
The sheriff couldn't see Malta ex-
cept as figure in the back seat.
HEY didn't intend to stop this
time, even if there had been a
place. They drove on north out of
the sheriff's view.
I'm know them" said Strana-
CHAN, and left. A minute later, the
big red truck pulled out of the
alley and on down to Church
Street. The sheriff watched with
misgivings. Unless the accident
came about innocently, Strana-
CHAN could be in real danger.
The bandits appeared next on
l1th, cruising east past the side of
the bank. There were one or two
parking spaces there, but they
were the epitome of uselessness -
not quite big enough for car. The
bandits went on to Church Street
and turned right. With luck,
Stranaghan could tangle with them
there, on the back stretch. But he
didn't. For in a few minutes the
bandits sedan reappeared on Main
Street block below the bank.
The used cars and fresh paint
had left only about ten spaces on
that side of the block, and natives
had those well filled. Horgan drove
slowly past the bank and on north.
There was the truck, three or four
cars behind. Midway in the block
somebody backed out of a space in
front of Alvin's Jewelry, and the
sheriff swore - but so did Hor-
gan, probably, because he never
had a chance for it.
Two cars ahead both stopped to
dispute the vacancy, and Horgan
had to circle them. He went on up
to the library corner and made
U turn, coming down the other
side of Main. The U turn would
have afforded an opportunity for
Stranaghan, but several other cars
had the truck stymied. For the
ease with which they happen, acci-
dents are remarkably difficult to
arrange, the sheriff muttered.
