AT THE NATIONAL
CAPITAL. WASH.
(By W. A. S.)
At the annual meeting of the
Chamber of Commerce of the
United States, held last week at
Atlantic City, what was regarded
as a strong endorsement of the
British Columbia - Yukon - Alaska
Highway was reported by the
Resolutions Committee and unani
mously adopted by the meeting.
Those members present who were
especially active in securing the
endorsement of the project were:
Ivan Gardner, of the Los Angeles
Chamber of Commerce; Herbert H.
Rice, of the National Automobile
Association; Jack Underwood, of
the Seattle Chamber of Commerce;
Eric A. Johnson, of Spokane; Syl
vester Weaver, of Los Angeles;
Ernest Walker Sawyer, of the In
terior Department; Judge Wicker
sham, Dedegate to Congress from
Alaska, and tohers. The resolu
tion, adopted is as follows:
"Substantial progress is record
ed in the development of an inter
national highway south from the
United States, which has been en
dorsed in principle by the Na
tional Chamber. More recently
definite steps have been taken
looking to the extension of the
highway northward to Alaska,
and commissions of the United
States and Canada are now .mak
ing a preliminary study of the
proposal. The Chamber urges
early completion of the necessary
engineering and economic studies
and favorable consideration of the
results thereof.”

spent his 16th birthday as a Boy
Scout hunting lions in the heart

cier Priest,” in his latest Alaskan
exploit to Chignic. From thence
they will trek some 50 miles into
the interior, to the famous "Valley
of Ten Thousand Smokes.” They
will remain htere all summer,
studying the geology of th crater
and its neighboring Mount Venia
minoff, exploring and hunting
Kodiak bears with a camera.
