Metcalf Commends
Special Edition
Frank A. Metcalf, well-known
i civil and mining engineer, in
a letter from Juneau received
by the Herald a few days ago,
refers to the recent Chamber
of Commerce Highway Edition
of this journal in the following
terms:
j “I certainly wish to com
pliment you and the Chamber
of Commerce on the Highway
! edition of the Herald. It is well
i worth while.”
As a further demonstration
of his kindly interest in the
| publication, Mr. Metcalf
thoughtfully enclosed a check
covering his account—which
was fully as pleasing to the
editor as his much appreciated
: compliment.
Mr. Metcalf said he sees a
familiar Hyder face in Juneau
. every now and then and men
! tions the presence there of A„
Wasdahl (“the 240 Swede”),
Dominick Bevacqua and Hollis
Evans, Mr. Metcalf said that
Wasdahl worked for him all
I summer. Wasdahl and Domin
; ick are both in his employ at
present, engaged in driving a
tunnel on the Taku River un
der contract.
Evans is reported driving a
taxi in Juneau.

>f and the small expense that
vould be involved in road con
itruction.
In the entire distance from
VIeziadin Lake to Hanna Rivei
bridge, about 11 miles, not
jver 200 feet of rock work
vould be necessary, while ful
iy 75 per cent of the section
vould not require surfacing. ]
From Hanna River bridge we 1
:urned south, following the j
aid trail blazes to the Nass!
River, a distance of approxi- j
mately 8 miles. On this sec- j
tion an entirely different con- i
dition was encountered and it ■
may be said at once that in
the writer’s opinion no compe
tnet highway engineer would
ever recommend a north and
south road through this coun
try. For some three or four j
miles from Hanna bridge the
country is about the same as
that lying between the bridge
and Meziadin Lake. Here the
old trail enters the McLeod
Creek swamp, an almost im
penetrable and impassable
morass covered with swamp
alder, willows and vine maple.
At its narrowest width, where
the trail crosses, it is about a
mile wide and the depth of
muskeg and beaver dam de
posits make it impossible from
the standpoint of economy and
permanence to build a road
grade across it. The flatness
of the swamp area and the
dense undergrowth retard the
spring freshets to such extent
that water covers the entire
area to a depth of from six to
ten feet, as evidenced by drift
wood lodged in trees that dis
tance above the ground.
