ALASKA-CANADIAN
ROADS CONCERN
NOYES ON TRAVELS
Life for Col. John R. Noyes. Alaska
Road Commissioner, has been from
one road to another since he left
September 5. except for the time in
Banff that he was discussing—yes.
highways.
Colonel Noyes made the Kenai
Bridge dedication speech September
6 at the opening of the Sterling
Highway which links Homer with
the Anchorage-Seward road.
He overheaded Juneau, flying to
Banff for the second meeting of the
Joint Northwest Development Com
mittee of United States and Cana
dian Chambers of Commerce, which
preceded the annual convention of
the Canadian Chamber. Joseph T.
Flakne of the Interior Department j
was the American co-chairman.
Representing Alaska were Noyes
and another transportation expert.
Col. John P. Johnson, general man
ager of the Alaska Railroad.
Colonel Noyes will make a com
plete report of the conference at
the Juneau Chamber of Commerce
meeting tomorrow.
After the conference, he met H.
A. Stoddart, Bureau of Public Roads
division engineer to drive up the
Alaska Highway.
“The Highway was in the best
condition I’ve ever seen,” Noyes said
today.
"We were especially impressed
with the excellent work in Alberta,
particularly the 18 miles of new
black-top west of Grande Prairie
formerly just mud holes. It won’t be
long,” he continued, "before that
section will be as fine as the rest.
The Edmonton-Dawson Creek
stretch also is being greatly im
proved, and the British Columbia
people are doing a lot of work, too.”
The Juneauites drove 150 miles
over the Hart Highway (Dawson
Creek to Prince George, B.C.). The
road is now substantially completed
to a point near Pine Pass (at Mile
84 from Prince Oeorge). By the end
of the year, Noyes expects there will
be only a 25-mile gap in the entire
230-mile highway.
Noyes said the highway, which
opens up a direct road to the Pa
cific Northwest from Dawson Creek,
definitely will be opened next year.
With Lt. Col. J. S. Beeman, act
ing commander of the Northwest
Highway System at Whitehorse,
Noyes and Stoddart flew from Atlin
to Juneau over the Taku River
Valley.
They decided “the route is prac
ticable but not easy from Atlin to
a point on the Taku River accessible
to deep water, but lt definitely is not J
practicable to extend the road to
Juneau.”
TRANSPORTATION
STUDY IS MADE,
ALASKA PROBLEMS
"Some modification will have to!
be made in the Alaska transpor- i
tation system in the light of recent
world events,” declared Donald J.
O'Connor, consulting economist
from Washington, D. C., here to
day.
O'Connor, formerly Territorial
Price Executive for the OPA here
in 1943 to 1945. is now a free lance
j consulting economist for govern
ment agencies and private business
concerns. He came here from Fair
banks and Anchorage where he has
been since Sept. 4 making a special
study of transportation problems
for the Department of Interior,
chiefly of the Yukon river area.
Another assignment for the Of
fice of Territories is to study the
problem of rates and equipment
for shipping frozen fish from
Southeast Alaska.
While living in Juneau two boys
were born to O'Connor and his wife
Gertrude, Donald, who is now 7
years old and Dennis, 4',-i.
O'Connor expects to leave Thurs
day for Seattle, Columbia River
area, Minneapolis, Chicago and
Washington.
