CHILKOOT PASS Not long ago three Americans were flying over famous old Chilkoot Pass, between Alaska and Yukon Territory in the snow-capped Chil- koot range, making an aerial sur- vey of the country through which the United States and Canada plan to build the Alaskan highway. One was Governor Ernest H. Gruening of Alaska. Another was young ‘Representative Warren Mag- nuson of Washington, pioneer pro- moter of the Alaskan highway. The third was tall, white-haired Thomas Riggs, chief of the International Boundary Commission. Gruening anc Magnuson were busy observing the topography and making notes. But Riggs was en- grossed for another reason with the. crystal-coated terrain that shifted beneath them. He was reliving a memory.

Business Affairs: Although agri- culture is under a promising aspegt dissatisfaction among farmers is forecast as the summer agvances. The demand for food will affect our commerce favorably and busi- ness in general will be profitable. The usual dull time through the warm months will not be, e - enced this year, as defense mea$- ures increase and extend with ac- companying outlays of vast sums of money. Inland towns and cities will prosper. National Issues: Reduction of certain civil salaries paid em- ployees of the United States Gov- ernment will be advocated as, the cost of defense preparations lstell- ized by the public. Demands, for wise economy or at least avoidance of waste will be widespread as taxes become a serious menace to per- sons of average incomes.
