This is revealed in the Revised Forest Highway System” in Alaska, as approved early this yifl‘ by the Secretary of Agriculture. There is now under consideration by Congress a measure increasifg the National Forest Highway' Fufid for the next fiscal year in the sum {of $5,000,000, from which Alaska will benefit materially. If' pulp} |and paper development here pro-| |gresses as is now indicated, and (this measure is passed by Congress, | |1t 1s indicated that the Forest and | | Service and United State Bureau of | | Public Roads will be ready to g0 |ahead with the bridge project. Nor is the expansion of the road | program limited to the construc- tion of the bridge. In addition,; there is a 10-mile road approved extending from the town of Doug- las to the north end of Douglas Island, and, also, reconstruction of the Thane road to highway stand- jard. This is revealed by a letter from the Department of Agriculture to the Territorial Road Commission. under date of February 7, last. In this the bridge and road proj- ect, listed as Project No, 31, of is described. THE {proféct was submitted to the Sec- |retary of Agriculture in 1929, and {recommended for approval by C. H. Flory, United States Distriet For- jester, and M. D. Willilams, United |States District Engineer, United |States Bureau of Public Roads. They wrote as follows: | A number of years ago the 1Alaska Road Commission construct- ed a section of road leading north | from the town limits of Douglas | for a distance of approximately twoi miles. The Territorial Board of f Road Commissioners has now re- quested that maintenance of this section be taken over by the Bureau of Public Roads. “It is, therefore, recommended that a new route be approved which will include not only the two miles of the constructed road but | will also provide for the future extension of the road to Fritz Cove at the north end of Douglas Island, | and for the location of a bridge from the town ‘of Juneau across Gastineau Channel to Douglas Island. The construction of a bridge across Gatsineau Channel will con- nect the Glacler Highway sysv.em' and street system of Juneau with the road and street system of Douglas.” The extension north from Doug-! las of the road will open up for development and settlement a con-' Asiderflble acreage of land both with- {in and adjacent to the National Forest domain. A number of tracts cutside of the forest borders have| already been settled on, and are ,being developed. } The Thane road is already an |existing project on which mainten-' ance is annually done. = With the establishment of pulp mills, theé advancement of this project to a standard highway status is u-i sured. Local officials of the Forest Serv- ice and Bureau of Public Roads today said they had no comment to make on these projects. The' |approval of the Secretary of Agri- kculture, they said, was a matter of public record and needed no amplifaction, nor were they in |position to go further than the record showed. They had no hesi- tancy, however, in saying that the bridge, Douglas road and Thane road projects had long been under| consideration by both the buretmsl | the JAp! ed Forest Highway Sys- |temt in ms ka, { S COMM S ITTEE NEw AGTION I ] NYE HEADS SENATE CAMPAIGN FUND TAKEN; CHARGES OF POSSESSION Eleven Male Guests of Club Arrested Under New Dry Move DRY AGENTS, MEN AND WOMEN, ASSIST IN RAID Crowd Outside Club Hiss Officials When Ap- pear on Street : NEW YORK, April 26.— Eleven male patrons of the Hollywood Restaurant, popu- lar Broadway night club"are under charges of possession of liquor.

French Colony Profits By Chasing Butterflies He points out that the United States, through the extension of international telephony, both by wire and radio, is connected with fully 85 per cent of the telephones of the world, reaching to most European countries, to Mexico, and that connections are soon to be made to South America. The Euro- pean net interconnects many coun- tries and is being constantly ex- tended. Principal radio-telephone circuits in commercial operation are Ameri- can-English, Duteh-Java, French- Argentine, Spanish-Argentine, Ger; man-Argentine, Paris-Saigon, and more than 30 countries. Within,the last few months direct radio cir- cuits were established to Chile and Peru, and in the near future addi- tional circuits will be inaugurated with the Philippines. From China comes news that progress is being made on the in- stallation of the powerful trans- oceanic short-wave stations at Shanghai and Mukden. It is hoped that the Shanghai radio station will be in direct operation with San Prancisco by June. Among other direct services to be launched in 1930 are those to Rus; sia and Czecho-Slovakia.
