Now

We
are,
optimistically
perhaps,
on

of
International
co-operation.
A

Since
the

70
years

the

have
immensely
favored

of
the

Since
then
not

built,
but
in

1500
miles
of
railroad
headllng
toward
East

have
been
constructed.
Eight

The
foregoing
discission
Is
made
to
give
the
reader
the
vitally
Important
picture
of
what
this
project
means
in
its
entirety
Therefore.
In
the
con
struction
of
this
link
we
must
De
governed'
by
the
.great
ultimate
purpose
of
the
job.
From
this
viewpoint,
the
highway
should
approximate
as
nearly
as
possible
a
future
railroad
route;
therefore,
it
should
observe
the
axioms
that
govern
determination
of
a
railroad
route.
Axioms
For
New
Highway
These
axioms
are:
(1)
The
line
should
ibe
direct
between
the
major
objectives.
Minor
object
ives
should'be
served
by
branch
lines
so
that
through
traffic
will
not
be
wound
around
and
distorted
by
small
villages
and
Individual
interests.
(2)
The
line
must
secure
low
gradients
by
following
streams
to
their
heads.
(3)
Following
the
truism
that
railroads
are
built
for
tonnage,
the
line
should
be
controlled
by
accessibility
of
the
.population;
It
should
penetrate
areas
suffi
ciently
rich
in
rfatural
resourses
that
additional
population
would
be
generated,
and
must,
of
neces
sity,
tie
In
with
all
transportation
heads.
All
factors
Including
climate,
precipitation,
snowfall,
terrain,
character
of
material
accessibil
ity,
etc.,
must
favor
cheap,
rapid
construction
anc
economic
maintenance.
All
these
desiderata
are
by
this
projected
route
between
Prince
George
and
White-
horse.
The
line
Is
as
direct
as
a
ciow's
f'llsht
and
Is,
of
course,
the
shortest
line
possible
in
the
country.
It
Is
the
interior
line
of
flight
from
Whitehorse
south.
The
line
parallels
the
lake
drainages
for
203
miles
jouth
of
Prince
Gecrge,
which
means
low
.grades
and
easy
accessibility.
It
follows
the
Skeena
river
to
its
head
and
successive
drainages
clear
through
to
Whitehorse.
For
these
reasons
a
maximum.
.6
percent
grade
can
ibe
secured
for
a
railrcad.
Tb?re
Is
a
complete
absence
of
the
bridge
construction
that
has
characterised
other
routes
under
consideration.
Only
one
bridge
requires
steel,
the
5"25
foot
crossing
at
the
Skeena
River.
This
western
route
penetrates
a
marvellously,
rich
virgin
coun
try
where

The
route
iblsests
perfectly

bulk
of
the
hemisphere's
mineral
wealth.
Gold,

lead,
zinc,
manganese,
nickel
and
other
metals
have
been
knewn
for
many
years
to
exist

Only
lack
of
transportation
has
prevented
development.
Anthracite
coal
lies
along
this
route
for
GO
miles.
Geological
studies
indicate
favorable
structures
for
oil.
Timber,
agriculture
and
grazing
lands
are
mere

to

by
its
mineral
potentialities.

favorable.
There

Construction
aspects
can
best
be
expressed
Jn
terms
of
average
cost
per
mile,
which
should
not
exceed
$20,003
for
a
24-foot
gravelled
surface
highway,
or
a
total
of
only
$13,000,00&.
And
so
from
this
angle
the
total
length
of
little
over
600
miles
(if
the
cost
is
shared
with
Canada)
would
mean
that
the
U.

would
as

of

300

has
made
a
re
search
of
the
number
of
people
of
all
kinds
desiring
to
make
an

trip
to
Alaska.
The
total
reaches
the
astounding
figure
of
350,003,
almost
five
times
the
existing
Alaska
population.
This
interest
reflects
the
great
publicity
which
attended
con
structlon
of
the
Alaska
Military
Highway.
However,
as
stated
by
the
War
Department,
the
highway's
only
purpose
is
to
serve
two
airbases
and
also
to
be
a
flight
ribbon
to
act
as
a

for

All
other
purposes
were
subordinate
to
these
two
considerations.
As

re

the
route
crosses
the
many
drainages
of
the
country
without

for

and

cllmibins
a

Its
