Benefits are Great “That such highway extending from Seattle, Washington, to Fair-| banks, Alaska, through the great| frontiers of Canada and the United | States will be of incalculable bene- fit in that it will give both these' countries additional opportunities | to develop their great mineral, ag-| ricultural and other resources; will provide a tourist highway over whiech thousands may travel| through a wonderland of scenic beauty unsurpassed; will promote trade and good will between ad- jacent friendly nations, and will bring about such increased com- merce between Alaska and conti- nental United States that the United States will reap rich re- turns for its share of the invest- ment. “That such highway is an eco- nomic necessity, in that Alaska's resources can never be fully de- veloped without it. “Wherefore, your petitioner re- spectfully and earnestly urges that the Chamber of Commerce of the United States endorse and recom- mend the following action in be- half of this project; (1) Coopera- tive action between the United States, Canada and the states, provinces and territories directly concerned, to secure thorough con- sideration and study of the bene- fits to be derived from such high-; way, and the cost of constructing the same; (2) Appropriations to cover the cost of surveying, locat- ing and constructing the United States and Alaska sections of the most advantageous route for the! proposed highway that may be feasible and economically practi- cable. ! “Your petitioner further urges that the Chamber of Commerce of | the United States give every aid to the United States and Canadian commissions appointed by their re-| spective governments to study the, project, and that it use its in-| fluence to the end that the utmost | publicity be given the proposed! highway.” | HALIBUT SELLS HERE | FOR 12 AND 8 CENTS| Twelve cents a pound for first' grade halibut and eight cents for, second grade were the ruling fig-| ures on the two hailings that were, sold yesterday afternoon at the Juneau fish auction.
