ROAD TO ALASKA.
A COSTLY JOB. The cost of building a highway through British Columbia from the State of AVashington to Alaska, would be about 10,000 dollars a mile, according to Air Ray Clark, president of the Okanagan and Cariboo Trail Association, and a resident of AVenatchee (Wash.), who has been advocating construction of the load to the north. Total cost would be between 14,000,000 and 15,000,000 dollars. The highway is already built as far north as Hazel ton, B. C. From there the route would extend up the Skeena and Ivlappan Rivers to Dease Lake and on to the lower end of Taslin Lake and thence across to Atlin.
