Says Railroad Work Is
“Not Worth Notice”
Inquiries made by the Stew
art News regarding v'hat
work is to be done by the Con
solidated Mining and Smelting
Company in connection with
its program for the rehabili
tation and extension of the
Canadian Northeastern Rail
way, elicited from President
Warren ,now in Toronto, a tel
egraphic reply to the effect
that the work to be done this
year on the road is not of suf
ficient importance to warrant
no ;ice.
The rather noncommittal re
ply is interpreted to mean a
number of things but chiefly
that the big Canadian mining
company does not desire any
fanfare of trumpets or rail of
drums over what it evidently
co-nsiders mere small change
spending in the preservation
of its franchise, although it
means a great deal to this dist
rict. However disappointing
Mr. Warren’s answer may be,
it must be recalled that the
. company is not at all addicted
to public announcements and
carries on its most important
projects with as little noise as
possible. Which in a world cf
universal wind-puffing and
publicity seeking is not only
novel but also somewhat ad
mirable.

Road Bureau Head Visits
M. D. Williams, district en
gineer for the Bureau of Public
Roads in Alaska, was an arriv
al in Hyder Sunday on the bu
reau motorship Highway.
Mr. Williems’ visit was in
connection with a regular sur
vey of road construction and
maintenance projects under his
jurisdiction.
During the course of his vis
it,interested residents discussed
with Mr. Williams the quest
ion of having International
Way between the boundary
line and Premier Avenue for
mally included in the local fed
eral road system, with a view
to its improvement by the gov
ernment.
The important argument for
such inclusion is that the indi
cated section of town highway
carries approximately 99 per
cent of all traffic passing to
and from the upper Salmon
basin over the government
highway, with which it con
nects at Premier Avenue. Some
misinformed residents believe
the roadway is already a ipart'
of the federal system but this
not correct.
In view of the heavy traffic,
the widening of the at present
narrow artery would be a great
benefit but would be too cost
ly for local agencies.
Mr. Williams sailed for his
headquarters in Juneau Tues
day afternoon.
-o
The motorboat Vincenta.
which arrived from the south
last week with “The Strollers”
road show company, left Tues
day. The troupe, which in
cluded seven performers, gave

Premier during their stay.

banks were dropped Thursday

Lewis in statement that banks

manner to government, pros
perity restoration efforts.
