NEW ROUTE TO SEATTLE
OPENED BY O’HARRA BUS
A new bus-and-boat connec
tion from Anchorage and Palmer
to Seattle was announced this
week, when O’Harra Bus Lines
revealed plans for a thrice
monthly bus trip to Haines, to
meet the steamer George Wash
ington. Passengers who make the
trip will delay at Skagway long
enough to make a rail trip to
Lake Bennett over the historic
White Pass and Yukon Railway.
Once passengers board the
George Washington at Haines,
they will visit Skagway, Sitka
and Ketchikan on their route
south to Seattle.
The boat trip takes four days;!
the bus trip from Palmer to;
Haines will require three days. I
Passengers who embark at Pal- j
mer will make stops at Santa
Claus Lodge, Dry Creek Lodge
and at Haines. Room reservations
are assured for all bus passen
gers.
Buses will pass through Pal
mer en route to Haines on the
1st, 11th and 21st days of each
month. The exact time of their
arrival here has not yet been
determined. The initial trip over
the new route is scheduled for
tomorrow.
Owner Ken O’Harra of the bus
company declares that this new
service offers passengers “the
most scenic route in Alaska, yet
it is the most direct and cheapest
way to Seattle. The total fare
from Palmer to Seattle is only
$104.50.”

No Federal Works Possible ]
In Unincorporated Towns
Don Irwin, head of the Agri
cultural Research Administra
tion for Alaska, recently con
ferred with Earl D. McGinty,
Federal Works engineers, while ;
on a business trip in Juneau. Mr.
Irwin earlier this year had car
ried on correspondence with the
engineer relative to possible Fed- j
eral Works projects within Pal
mer.
However Mr. Irwin was yi
formed at the Juneau conference
that Palmer can expect to receive
no aid from any Federal Works
program until there is some type
of incorporation accomplished
here. There must be a responsi
ble municipal body with whom
the Federal agency can negotiate
before project work can be ini
tiated.
