far reaching effect on the develop ment of British Columbia and AL aska.
 "The attention of the American and Canadian people will be drawn to the excellent highway already penetrating northward more than thousand miles through country having wonderful undeveloped pos | abilities. The extension of this ioute another thousand miles through even less developed areas to Alaska will become the obvious sequel to the work that has all ready been done.
 Alaska, now an island from 2 transportation viewpoint, will be- come in fact an integral part of the North American Continent. Travel between Alaska, the United States and the Western Canadian Provinces twill cement the friendly relations already existing.
 "The people of British Columbia have been made aware of the ir- terest. Alaska has in this project and the extent to which we will cooperate in it's fulfillment.
 Public sentiment in favor of the project has been accomplished.
 The caravan furnished suit : fable opportunity to the Premier of British Columbia, the Honorable s. IF. Tolmie, to state publicity and lforcefully as the policy of his gov ernment that all possible efforts will be made to carry through the project, provided ways and means can be found which will not inter fere with the normal development Iof the existing road system in cluding ad equate maintenance thereof and necessary extensions. He stated also that arrangements had already been made for an aerial reconnaissance of the route through Northern British Columbia and that he had secured from the Dominion Government a promise that similar aerial work would be done in Yu- kon Territory by the Dominion Government"
 Parks Speaks Briefly
 Gov. Parks, who deferred to Maj. Elliott for an account of the cara van, spoke briefly of his trip with President H. C.. Watson of the Chamber and delegate from Wrangell to Prince Rupert and Hazelton A hearty welcome and every possible courtesy was extend : ed to the Alaska visitors, he said
 When the entire party assembled at Hazelton there were nine Alaska delegates present, and every Cham Der of Commerce in Southeast AL aska was represented except Peters, burg. Since his return from Brit ish Columbia, the Governor added, he had learned that President Earl N. Dinner of the Petersburg or ganization had been called to Se- sttle by the death of a business associate which probably accounted for the absence of representative from that point.
