Proposed U. S. Alaska Highway Would Open

Area Richi in Undeveloped Natural Resources

2354-Mile \iemaioial]

Route Would Utilize All ~ Existing Roads.

Hoosier motorists planning vacations in distant scenic country, the lure of which was chilled by un- - improved roads, no doubt are

watching the progress of plans for the proposed 2345-mile international highway from Seattle to Fairbanks, Alaska. 8 The route would pass through British Columbia and the former Yukon territory, utilizing all exist ing highways. The project has won general support in the north country, as it will spur development of a wealth of natural resources which heretofore have been almost untapped, owing to lack of transportation facilities. The proposed highway would utilize British Columbia’s Caribou Trail to Prince George, turn west on the existing transprovincial road to a point north of Hazelton, then pass through Kispiox, Cabin 1 and around Trout Lake to the east fork of Nass River. : The route would cross the old Yukon territory boundary at Carcross, continue to Whitehorse, crossing the Yukon River, then through Allgold and Dawson.

Pioneer Northern Trail

Crossing the Alaskan boundary, the road would go through McCarty and thence to Fairbanks. The Caribou Trail is one of the oldest roads in northwestern Canada. It first was. used by pack animals and dog sleds, later becoming a wagon. trail. ‘Today it is modern in most respects. The transprovincial frail, from Prince George to Hazelton, some

300 miles, is the only means of.

travel across northern British Columbia.- The road is built mostly from natural materials at hand and in many places the surfacing is clay and loam. Within 50 to 100 miles on either side of the route are natural resources which, if developed, would provide work for thousands.

Used Car Week Set for April 17

Times Special NEW YORK, Feb. 25.—Countrywide observance of national used car week will be held April 17 to 23, Edward M. Reilly, League of Used Car Motorists secretary said today. The event will aim to fous attention on the needs and interests of’ the 11,000,000 used car families in the United States and to stimulate automobile ownership among middle class Americans, he said. “In the three years ending with 1937 more than 2,000,000 families with modest or low incomes joined the ranks of the nation’s used car motorists,” said Mr. Reilly. “But at the end of 1937 this expansion in used car ownership slumped

badly. It is acting as a log-jam to new car sales and is slowing up business generally. “The league is interested ' primarily in that great mass of motorists whose incomes are insufficient to buy new cars. These constitute more than half of the nation’s motorists. Until recently they have had no organization to protect their interests, wit hthe result that most Federal and State automobile laws have been written with the idea that all motorists are rich, own limousines and employ chauffeurs.”
