Describes Trip Oyer Old Ashcroft Trail Had Its Arduous Experiences There should be no insurmountable difficulties to the building of a road from Hazelton to Telegraph Creek as the southern end of a connection from central British Columbia to the Alaska Highway even oyer the old Ashcroft trail by way of which the first pioneers mushed overland to the Yukon Gold Rush although he would prefer the Yukon Telegraph trail or, still better, the Kltwancool route, says W. D. Smith, M.L.A. for Atlln, who is back In Prince Rupert after having personally made the trek over the Ashcroft trail. The Ashcroft trail ls to be distinguished from the Hazelton Telegraph trail east of which it runs and which might be a better route for couple of months during summer because It is higher and drier but which ls said to have much more snow and other precipitation during the rest of the year. When opportunity came to make the trip north through the wilderness with a George Ball expedition taking sixty-two horses overland from Hazelton to Telegraph Creek, Mr. Smith quickly took advantage because he was anMous to see at first hand the country through which road construction is often discussed but of which few people have actual first hand knowledge. Wants to Sec Other Routes Now Having now seen the country traversed by the Ashcroft trail. Mr. Smith ls even now thlnklnf of making a similar trip ovei the Yukon Telegraph trail a' soon lis possible, likely next year, and would also go over the Kltwancool route. "It was no easy trip," said Mr. Smith yesterday In recounting experiences to the Dally News. The country is to large extent muskeg and Is full of windfalls and mudholes. The trail, having long been in. disuse, Is In a more unpleasant. "Being on the trail from 4 a.m. to 9 p.m. almost every day was not exactly In the nature of fun for chee-chakos," said the fact-finding M.L.A. Prince Rupert. Mr. Flndlay left ! bad state. The fact that it raln-thls afternoon on the Catala for ed almost all the 43 days th? nell.i Coola after spending the trip was made made things even past few days in the city.

A 45-foot bridge was thrown across Canyon Creek by hewing logs out of the bush while the Little Klappan was rafted. This was for the tenderfoot members of the party, the guides and hunters riding their swimming horses. It had been hoped that the trip might be made in thirty days but it actually took forty-three and that was why the party, shortly before its arrival in Telegraph Creek early last week, had been reported lost. Leaving Hazelton July 8, Telegraph Creek was reached August 20. In addition to finding the going much tougher than had been anticipated owing to tha state of the trail and unfavorable weather, at least ten days' delay was caused by having to back track for horses which became lost. Forty of the 62 horses vere delivered at Telegraph ?reck but of the others fifteen were believed to be within easy range of Telegraph Creek where 'hey could be recovered.
