American films is certainly work

here. A number of studios have
closed because Hollywood will not
finance British films and one-third
of the workers are idle.

VANCOUVER, B. C. (UP)—The
Pacific Great Eastern Railroad is
a white elephant. It has cost the
British Columbia taxpayers near*
ly $100,000,000 since it was born
in 1912.
However, the 345-mile railroad
connecting Vancouver with Ques
nel, B. C. may become one of
great strategic interest in the Pa
cific Northwest.
If present plans go through the
PGE may become a vital land
link between Seattle and Alaska.
It would shorten by 1,000 miles
the Alcan overland route between
Washington State and Alaska.
The event which has brought
the PGE into the forefront of in
terest is discovery of large depos
its of anthracite coal at Prince
George, a $5 bus ride from Ques
nel.
Deposits Called Large
Provincial mining officials say
the extent of the deposits may be
judged from estimates that hey
will be able to provide 1,000,000
tons of coal annually for an un
specified number of years.
Negotiations are now nearing
the final stage between the Brit
ish Columbia and Canadian fed
eral governments for extending
the PGE into the coal area.
That means running the rail
road nearer to Alaska. The Paci
fic Northwest wants a railway
through to Alaska. The British
Columbia government has had
nibbles from American interests
to make use of the PGE as part
of a collection with Fairbanks
Alaska.
Officials said if the PGE was
extended to Prince George it
would provio'e American interests
with a suitable starting point for
the Alaskan extension—running
along the so-called Rocky Mount
ain Trench up through the North
west Territory, the Yukon and
into Alaska.
U. S. Interested
American interests headed by
the Canadian-American Railroad
Development Company, incorpor
ated in Dt leaware two years ago
reportedly have put forth a $200,
000,000 development plan for the
extension of the PGE.
Sen. Warren G. Magnuson. D.,
Wash., has saia' the U. S. War De
partment has authorized him to
express “its entire willingness to
ward construction of such a rail
road.”
If the Price George link goes
through, however, it will be a
boon to the Pacific Northwest. It
will make it possible for trucks
leave Seattle for Vancouver, be
hauled by rail to Prince George
and from there speed along the
"Little Alaska Highway” to be
opened to traffic this year to
Dawson Creek, on the Alcan, and
then on to Alaska.
