to travel to Alaska by automobile, Mr. Sutherland said. The Alaska Raiiroad, which is pushing plans, had received nu- merous Ietters, he said, requesting in- formation about highways from points in the United States to Alaska.
 An official estimate made by Don- aid Mcdonald, Canadian highway en- gneer, places the approximate cost of constructing the highway at $l2,- 100000. Mir. Sutherland pointed out that the cost to the United States would be nominal, since there were only 250 miles of road to be built in Alaska.
 Both Mir. Sutherland and Captain Yost told the committee the Budget Board favored the proposed legisla- tion as long as no appropriation was asked. Such approval, they said, would indicate that the President also approved.
 MT. Sutherland reiterated that there was no intention on the part of anyone favoring the measure to peti- tion Congress at later date for a large appropriation to aid the Cana dian government in the constrution work. The cost of building the 250 miles of road in Alaska, he said, would be between $1,O00,O00 and $2,- OOO,O
 Since the Canadians have no road connecting British Columbia with. tn. Yukon Territory, they strongly favor the proposed highway. Although the population of the Yukon Territory is not great. the highway is needed to aid in development of rich minnes in that region, MT. Sutherland said.
 In conclusion, Mr. Sutherland point ed out that an immense country in Alaska would be opened up by the proposed highway. The road would traverse level fertile region which is capable of producing all kinds of vegetables, wheat, cattle and rein deer, he said.
 Adam E. Gopdner. highway eagi- neer, representing the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, said he had the authority of all the chambers Of commerce on the West co(ast to on dorse the bill. He pointed out that the bulk of the territory in Alaska was south of Norway and other Eu- ropean countries, and declared that isolation. and not climate, was the deterrlng factor in the development of the country.
 Carl J.. Lomen of Nome. advocat ing favorable action, said that inhab- itant> os the far North were shut off from the rest of the world for seven mo ii. in the year. All the citizens in hls section of Alaska favor the proposed highway. he said.

CUunl Or APPEALS REvERSES
 FINDINGS IN WALBRIDcE CASE
(Fairbanks News-Miner.) ]

(r8iIDAHkS NeW4-0l0er.D
 A wire has been received by Harry E. Pratt stating that the United States court of appeals. Ninth circuit. has reversed the judgment in the case of Lester Walbridge versus the New Yoork-Alaska Gold Dredging Con- pany, first decided in favor of the piaint.tt by a jury in the District Court here on an instructed verdict.
 ualbridge sued the company for . large sum-in the neighborhood of 40,00O-claiming the amount was due him in unpaid wages. The basis of the plaintiffs contention was a resoluIlon adopted by the board of di- rectors o, the company. which he or san.zsd, to employ him as manager at a salary of $7.20O annually until such time as the resolutien was re- seinded.
 The company claimed that he worked one year under the terms of the resolutio nand was fully paid. 1t was contended by the defendant that ,, s.lbridge remained in New York the second year and performed no sex- vices for the firm. .a--fact which he admitted, and that tho next year he asked to be allowed to come to -Alaska without salary hecause of .Ais stock interest in the mining. coneern- 1t was further cpntenaad hy the .,con- pany that ne wcontract was mAda in 1925 whereby Walbridge was tore ceive monthly salary of ,$a0o and an equal amount contingent upon . dividend payng basis being estab- lished.
 This agreement was lived up tp. the company stated, but Wabridge was not paid the additional. $3o0 monthly because the company showed g deficit of several hundred thousand doliars.
 The plaintin said there had never been | formal resolution IeatAred on the corporst5On's booxs rescindinG the original resolution by which he was employed, and while the defense showed oral agreement between Wal- bridge and members If the board the District Cour took the petition that the only manner in which Walbridge's salary eonld be chaasHa J.as hy.A f4r- maj resembling resolution by tho board of directors, and -Az this-was not done Walbridge was entitled te the full salary whethar he 1erked.

RACIFIC.YUKON HIGHWAY
 PROJECT GETS BIG BOOST AT
 HEARING IN WASHINGTON


 HEARING IN WASHINGTON
 Appointment of a commission to meet with representatives of the Ca- nadian government for study of the construction of the proposed highway flo link Seattle and Fairbanks, as provided fdr in H. K. S36S, was urged upon the House lommittee on roads recently by representatives of the War Department, Alaska, and the Pa- cific coast chambers of commerce.
 The committee oroe-ed the bill re- ported fayorably, after adopting an amendment to authorize an appro- priation of. $25,OOo to pay the ex- penses of the commission.
 Arguments for Project
 Captain Howard M. Yost, Corps of Army Engineers, representing the -2separhment of War, read to the com Inittee report from Major Malcolm EAiotts pyesi6ent of the Board of ,koad Conimis :ioners for Alaska, and A- letter from the Secretary of War tayoring the measure. He said a commission should be appointed, as army engineers could not take up the work informally with representatives of the Canadian government. He pointed out that as such . matter was international In scope. officers of the unite4 States army would have no authority to enter foreign coun- try in cir o...cial capacity m peace time.
 Capt. Yost advised the committee that the proposed highway would connect with the main highway sys- tenn of Central Alaska. Climatic con- ditions along the proposed route are similar to those in the Middle West, he said. and in the opinion of those familiar with the country that the road could be kept open during the winter months.
 The manager of the Alaska Rail- road has talked with the prime min- ixtsr of British Columbia and Mac -kepzie King. prime minister of the Dominion of Canada, about the con atxuction of the proposed highway. and reports both officials as favorable toward the project, Capt. Yost stated.
 In its present condition the pro- pdsed highway is, already complete from Seattle to Hezelton, he said. 1t would be necessary to construct ap- proximately 800 miles of road along one of the proposed routes in Canada, aad approximately 250 mes of road iIE Alaska.
 kirst-grade roadbed would not be naceasary to start with, as it is the opiuian of highway engineers that gravel would do. There are, however, no sstimatas available as to the ap- yfoximate cost of gravel road, Capt. fost saiu. s..a
 Dan A. Sutherland, Delegate to Congress from Alaska, said the pro- posed highway would be spproxi- mately l.l00 miles by the interior route. and ipprox,mately 1000 miles by the coast route. He said the peo- pls of Aisska preferred the coast youte. fhS great advantage of the hiehway would lie in the fact that it would permit tourists to viait Alaska - automobile from any part of the Anits4 states.
