Representatives from Portland, Bellingham, Tacoma, Spo-! kane, Vancouver, Victoria, New| Westminster and various towns in| Alaska were present. It was the| consensus of opinion, Mr. Warbur-| ton said, that the western route| was necessary because of the close| business connections between Alas- kans and the cities of the Pacific Coast. “There is already available a sum equal to nearly half the cost of a. western highway route and the feeling at the meeting was that it! might be possible to raise, without 'appeal to Washington or Ottawa, |the total sum necessary to the| |building of the road,” Mr. War-/ burton said. .
