GENERAL ELECTION SEPT. 8, 1012.
The people of Alaska have a Legislature. It
meets for 66 (lays every 2 years. It decides how
much shall he spent for our roads. It is respon
sible for our Public Schools. It provides for the
care of our needy children and our needy elder
ly men and women.
Because of the War the Territory and its
citizens must make many adjustments. It is more
important now than in times of Peace that we
choose carefully the men to he our members in
the Legislature. The limited powers we have in
our Government must be watched and preserved.
The next Legislature must have men in it
that will know what our part of Alaska needs;
men that will protect the rights of Alaskans. The
Republican candidates are those kind of men.
You will vote wisely on September 8, at the
General Election by voting for—

SEATTLE. Aug.—Twenty lead
in;. Seattle business men left on
a 1 u if-day trip into British Col
urn'bKi to inspect the Pacific
Great Eastern Railway in a con
tin anon (if the effort to connect
St a tile and other Pacific Coast
ci'ies with ihe projected new
ra i. ay between Fairbanks, Al
as a aid Prince George, B. C.
'I la delegation, sponsored by
the Seattle Chamber of Com
merce. was invited to take the
trip by Premiei John L. Hart of
Br.' n Columbia. Glenn Carring
ton. chairman of the chamber’s
Alaska Committee, headed the
group. Included in the party
w. Congressman Warren G.
M; a son. who was invited to ac
com ,av the group upon his ar
rival in Seattle.
■ ■ ng Seattle, the party
| wei t 'a Vancouver, B. C. by boat
and i arly the next morning, all
ot! r boat was taken to Squa
niisli B. C.. the southern ter
mitiu of the Pacific Great East
ern. vhich is just 30 miles north
of Vancouver.
Special Train
Pm ma.-r Hart had arranged for
a sp. . d train to carry the dele
gate i over the 346-mile P.G.E.
road to its northern terminus at
Que.-i.ei. a point eighty miles
j south (.f Prince George.
Traveling only during the day
light hours so that the visitors
could get a complete picture of
the railroad, the party spent the
second night at Lillooet. about a
third of the way up the road.
The next day the delegation con
time d to Quesnel when* they
spent two hours before return
ing directly to Squamish and
Vancouver.
The delegation inspect the pro
vinctally owned line ;ind looked
into the possibilities of an exten
sion from Quesnel to Prince
Georg! which will be the south
ern terminus of a new projected
road now being located by the
army engineers.
Such an extension would pro
vide an 188-mile cutoff between
Seattle and Prince George.
Severe Grade
Because the southern halt < t
the P.G.E. runs over a seven
grade, the delegation investigat
ed the possibilities of an alter
nalo route which would utilize
the Canadian National Railway
from Vancouver to Ashcrol:
where a forty-mile extension to
Clinton on the P.G.E. road would
eliminate the poorer part of th<
road.
The proposed line from Prince
George to Fairbanks would the*
complete a direct rail route from
Seattle to Fairbanks.
The Seattle Chamber of Com
nietce has worked several months
to luing some solution to the
problem of a connecting link for
Seattle and other Pacific Coast
cities, not only from a military
pent of view but from a stand
point of permanent commercial
trade with the Northern tern f
tory.
