Why not? The Empire believes the suggestion is timely. Hawaii had the Federal Aid Highway Act | extended to that Territory, and a wonderful system of highways on all the Hawaiian Islands is far advanced and work is continuing. The Federal Gov- | ernment has spent millions shere on highways, and the Territory has handled the funds to good x-e.suus.§ Former Highway Engineer R. J. Sommers has/ advocated that pol for Alaska.

Until recently Congress nas not based its direct| appropriations for road and trail construction in Alaska on the sum made available by the Territorial | Legislature for the same purpose. Nor has it, until this year, interfered with the Territory’s allotment | from the Forest Highway Fund for National Forest | roads and trails. During the present term of Con- gress it has done both. One of the main reasons| advanced by the House Subcommittee on Military | (New York Herald Tribune.) While New Zealand is credited with giving the | turf world an extraordinary performer in Phar Lap,| it is doubtful whether that ill-fated gelding is held ! in higher esteem in the Antipodes than Gloaming, another star of the first magnitude, who recently died at the age of sixteen. What Phar Lap would | have accomplished had he lived can only be con- jectured, but the records are eloguent in the case of Gloaming, who raced until his ninth year, winning fifty-seven out of sixty-nine starts for a total of £43,100. This country has had some great geldings, too, " r 5 conspicuous among them Exterminator, still alive Appropnaum}ls (m. a d¥asuc reduction in the Alaska and living the life of Riley at Willis Sharpe Road Commission’s estimates was that the Territory | gyymer's Court Manor Stud in Virginia.
