and passable every day, both

winter and summer. To secure
the best development from the
main road, however it will be
necessary to construct several
branch lines from the main road
to favored sea coast terminals.
Such an airplane and automo
bile international highway with
branch lines across the Alaskan
boundary line to the sea coast,
will require some legislation,
probably, by both the Canadian
and United States governments,
to modify some of the present
rules and regulations.
Present Eules Stringent
“These laws should be so lib
eralized as to give the utmost
freedom in travel over these
highways with both airplanes
and automobiles. At present
stringent regulations prevent
the free flying of airplanes
across the borders; these must
of course be modified, and the
highways made free.

“Alaska and Klondike pioneers
have always subscribed to the
Arctic Brotherhood motto:There
is no boundary line between us;”
and that sentiment should be
extended by law to this great
international highway and its
branches. j
Some point on the Canadian
side, and Fairbanks, in Alaska,,
are to be made great landing
stations on the intercontinent
al route from the United States
and Canada to Asia, via Bering
Sea, to connect with the Old
World lines of aviation. This
British Colurnbia-Alaska air
plane and automobile highway
should be so constructed as to
be of the utmost benefit in the
organization of the intercontin
ental route.
“The aviation and automobile
interests of the United States
and Canada are interested in
the proposed highway, and will
give their earnest support.”
DELFG ■VT'-' SUTHERLAND
Hon. Dan A. Sutherland, Dele
gate to Centres j from Alaska,
has announced that he will not
file for re-election to the same
allcc-. He v,i.il have served the
people of Alaska ten years in the
national legislature beside his
service in the Territorial Legis
lature.
Dan served his constituency
as he believed right regardless of
what powers were raised in op
position. Any mistakes he might
have made were not of the heart.
His fight for the unorganized,
general run of Alaska citizenry,
his fight against the Packing
Combine and the Bureau of
Fisheries, is an epic of which
any man may well be proud.
In 1921 was presented the
Fisheries Committee of the
House a bill which would allow
governing of the Alaska fisher
ies with a Fisheries Commission
to be composed of one Indian
fisherman, one white fisherman,
one Packer, the Commissioner of
Fisheries and one other to be
chosen by these men. Opposi
tion to the Indian on the com
mission was raised and it was to
be used as political ammunition.
Mr. William Paul, who was at
Washington at the ' time said:
‘ You can leave the Indian off
that commission as it will be
used to your hurt. It will not
hurt our feelings and it will not
make any difference politically.”
Dan replied: “No, they have a
right to representation on that
commission.” The bill was de
feated in committee.
In his campaigns for election
he had the opposition of the en
tire press of the Territory save
The ALASKAN and ALASKA
FISHERMAN; he had the Demo
Republican Federal Brigade cen
ter its full force against him,
yet in spite of that opposition
lie was overwhelmingly elected.
Showing that in every respect he
enjoyed the fullest confidence of
the masses. Which can be en
joyed by no man who caters to
and favors the money powers.
Stepping aside at this time,
Dan will carry with him the sin
cere admiration and respect of
every one cognizant of the po
litical affaires of the Territory
and the rapacious greed of the
Packing Combine with its sycho
phantic United States Bureau of
Fisheries. — Petersburg ALAS
