WESTERN ROUTE
ALASKA HIGHWAY
Open next SEPT.

With the completion of the ISL
miles of new road composing the
Hart Highway in British Columbia
scheduled for the end of Septem-
Der, 1851, a western route to con-
meet Pacific Coast states and Brit
ish Columbia with the Alaska
Highway at Dawson Greek will be
open to traffic, according to advices
received by Colonel John R. Moves,
Commissioner of the Alaska Road
Commission from Col. w. G. Swan,
President of the Vancouver, B. c.,
Board of Trade. Colonel Swan was
informed of the time contemplated
for the completion of the last
link to connect western roadways
with the Alaska Highway by e. C..
Carson, Minister of Public Works
at Vancouver, B. G.
A section of IA miles remains
to be built, and also bridge over
the Parsnip River. In addition, re-
construction of approximately SO
miles of previously constructed road
near Dawson Greek is required.
This road system through British
Columbia, which. Colonel Noyes
pointed out, has so long been de-
sired, will shorten the distance from
Alaska to the Pacific Coast by
seven or 800 miles. The route from
the Pacific Coast will be from Seat
tie to Vancouver, B. c., north on
the British Columbia highways to
Prince George thence to Dawson
Creek.
The road route between Alaska
and the states at present is over
the Alaska Highway to Dawson
Creek thence to Edmonton, and
Calgary in Alberta, Canada and to
Great Falls, Montana.

state. Although his position will
not be comforting to Alaskans, who
would have to bear the brunt OF an
onslaught from Siberia, they never
theless have the right to know that
in some quarters it is felt that be-
cause of it's present political status
Alaska WILL NOT be defended as
it would be if it were state. Speak
ing to the Senate on November 80,
only two days after your editorial
appeared, Senator Russell had this
to say:
II hope and pray that within the
next 10 to IL months the skies Will
tighten and that the clouds Will
pass. But unless I very seriously
misjudge the situation. we are IN
for a period of crisis for many years
to come. I repeat, there is absolutely
nothing that is inconsistent or con-
Trajectory in defending the rights
of the States and in opposing the
making of new States, which will Tx
an obligation on the Federal Gov
eminent to defend their rights in
case of any great emergency. Should
these Territories be admitted into
the United States, either today or
next year, I would feel bound to
fight for their rights as vigorously
as I would defend the rights OF
Georgia or wyoming, and I do not
think I care to be placed in that
position when we do not know but
that a terrific blow will be leveled
at one of those outposts either TO-
morrow or 6 months from tomor-
row."
Sincerely yours,
fsigned) E. L. BARTLETT.
