Minister

has
advocated
pushing
a
highway
from
Edmonton
to
Fair-
banks
across
northern
Alberta,
the
Northwest
Territories
and
the
Yu-
kon.
Admitting
he
was
making
only
a
rough
estimate,
he
said
construction
costs
should
approximate
$10,000.-000.
He
has

WW
a
A
route,
said
he
would
urge
its
adoption
In
the
United

As
sketched
out
by
Mr.
Fallow,
the
road
would
run
from
Edmonton
to
Grlmshaw,
Alberta,
and
thence
over
the
present
winter
road
to
Hay
River
on
Great
Slave
Lake.
The
highway
would
then
follow
the
Mackenzie
and
Twitya
Rivers
into
the
Yukon,
where
it
would
pick
up
the
Stewart
River
and
Proceed

into

had
reached
EI

The

Tobruk

the
