Various chambers in Alaska and
in the Pacific coast cities have
taken the matter up with the Na
tional chamber to secure an en
dorsement at the Atlantic City
meeting of the Pacific Yukon High
way. Jack Underwood of the Seat
tle chamber, and Ernest Walker
Sawyer have been on the ground
here and quite persuasive in inter

the project. In a visit to the Na

had a v e r y satisfactory interview
with A. B. Barber, chief of trans

the annual meeting and assist in

The committee having in charge
the investigation of the reindeer
situation in Alaska have completed
their hearings and drafted their
report of recommendations to the
secretary of the interior. The re
port, however, will not be made
public until after the return of
Secretary Wilbur, who is now on
the trip with President Hoover to
the Virgin Islands. It is expected
that he will be back at his desk
some time in April and that after
he digests the report that it will be
given to the public.

During the past week the Los
Angeles Chamber of Commerce has
had a very arractive Alaska exhibit
in the display window of their J
Washington headquarters, located
in the National Press building. This
office has been maintained here
for three years and is in charge of
a former Alaskan, Ivan E. Good
ner, as manager. The latter, some
years ago, resided at Juneau, where -
he was an engineer for the Bradley
interests. Alaska was featured the
past week largely because of the
presence here of Charles P. Bayer,
| manager of the Field Service and
j Exposition department. Many cu
[ rios of ivory, baskets and other na
tive novelties, in addition to illus
trated literature, were all furnished
by the indefatigable worker for
Alaska, Ernest Walker Sawyer.
HH
It was Mr. Bayer who conducted
last summer the excursion of 170
representative people of Los An
geles to western Alaska. He is now
arranging for a similar excursion to
leave Los Angeles in a special de
luxe train, on June 9, and to sail
from Seattle on the morning of
June 12 on the specially chartered
steamship Aleutian, operated by
the Alaska Steamship Company. Al
