boarding school to be administered
by the Alaska Native Service.
At this same meeting it was
agreed that the Interior Depart
ment would seek annual federal
I appropriations to reimburse the
Territory for the schooling of
Alaska childen of quarter or more
native blood. D. James C. Ryan,
Alaska’s Commissioner of Educa
tion, appeared last spring before
the Senate Appropriations Com
mittee recommending such action.
If the appropriations are forth
coming they will bring Alaska into
line with many of the states
^ wherely the federal government
pays for schooling of such chil
dren.
PRINCE GEORGS-DAWSON
CREEK HIGHWAY
The construction of the highway
between Prince George and Daw
son Creek, connecting there with
the Alaska Highway, has been
proceeding from both terminals
and is expected to be completed
in December of 1947, according to
information from the Prince
George Board of Trade.
The road is being constructed at
the cost of $6,000,000 appropriated
by the legislature of British Co
lumbia, and it is hoped construc
tion will be completed so that the
road will be open for travel in the
early part of 1948. The contrac
tors’ schedule is reported to be
fairly-well kept in spite of the
shortage of labor and equipment.
When completed, there will be a
direct route from all points south
west of British Columbia in the
United States to Alaska.
