SECRETARY OF
 AGRICULTURE ! OPPOSES BILL

WASHINGTON, May IT (by Associ- ated Press) s).-Secretary of Agricul- ture Wallace in a letter to Congress- man Curry of California, chairman of the committee on territories in the house, has expressed his opposition to the Alaska development board bill.
 He declared the enactment of this measure would be highly prejudicial to both national and Alaskan inter ests. It would remove wholesome checks against the exploitation of our vast national resources and would deprive Alaska of the technical help of our federal agencies, which com bine long experience and scientific knowledge both in studying and de veloping special natural resources.
 we have come to the time when existing conditions should bring about d gradual development of Alaskan in dustries, with corresponding in crease in population. This develop ment should be on a sound basis and not the result of temporary and reck less exploitation of public property by creating an Alaska board com posed of representatives placed there by each of the federal agencies active in the territory and one or two promi nent Alaskan residents.
 Every proper purpose sought to be accomplished can be brought about without jeopardizing the national and territorial interests"

ROADS IN
SASKATCHEWAN.
PLAN OF YORATH

Saskatoon. sask., Jan. 24.-Plans
for the construction of 1,607 miles Of
paved highways throughout Sas-
katchcwan have been evolved by C.
J. Yorath, city commissioner of Sas-
katoon, and will be laid before the
provincial government for consider
alton.
The program Of road building, it is
estimated, would cost $4,000, 900. 1t
provides for n pavement fifteen, feet
wide on all highways and the gradual
recovery of the mi expended by
a system of toll gates such as arc
still in use on turnpikes in certain
American states. CALIFORNIA; paved
automobile highways are suggested as
the model. s5p
"All the details of the plan, S,thc
method of financing and the appor-
tionment of the cost have not vet
been worked out" said Mr.. Yorath.
This will take time as the. plan is
elaborate and complicated. One of
the central ideas will be to establish
main arteries of travel with a network
Of connecting roads, joining all the
towns, cities and districts of the prov
ince.
SASKATCHEWAN is one of the richest
agricultural provinces Of Canada. 1t
has vast uncultivated areas which are
rapidly settling. Farmers are evolv-
ing into business men. They are do
ing much of their marketing with
motor trucks. Motor truck lines are
being established to supplement rail-
ways and will become an important
factor Transportation in the future.
Good roads r Indispensable to the
full development Of the province, both
a~griculturally and industrially.
1.-THE cost of this good roads plan
will be large but if properly appor-
toned among townships and districts
it will not be onerous. while the
maintenance Of toll gates for ten or
twenty years will make the repayment
of the expenditure easy and certain,
