 Ernest Walker~ Sawyer. represent senting Secretary of the Interior Wilbur, has returned to, Washington for a few weeks. He feels much en- outraged over the feeling created in San Francisco favorable to, Alaska. The Chamber of Commerce there. has established an Alaska branch, similar to that in the Seattle Chamber, and is already arranging for big excur- sion to Fairbanks next summer. MT. Sawyer is particularly interested in the proposed International Highway, being member of the American commission. He states that joint meeting of the ronfeence was recent ly held at Victoria, at which time it was decided that the highway is en- tirely feasible from an engineering viewpoint. The alignment through Hazelton, Dease, Teslin, Whitehorse and Dawson to Fairbanks is reported to be practicable. At a meeting of the joint committee to be held in Washington in January the economic advantages of this highwya and the advisabilit yof early construction will be considered.
 The distance by located line from the peace arc hat Blaine, Wash., to Fairbanks is 2225 miles, and 145 miles more to Seattle. From Blaine to Hazelton is 715 miles (completed in 1929), Hazelton to Yukon bound ary 610 miles (virgin country), across Yukon to Alaska boundary 530 miles, Alaska border to McCarty 18O miles, from McCarty to Fairbanks 90 miles. The entir expenditure necessary to construct a. well-graveled highway to the heart of Alaska is about $14,- 000,000. It is considered that the Yukon section requires complete re- grading for it's total of 530 miles, at an average cost of $7,500 per mile, or $a,915,OO0, plus $6OO,000 for the bridges in that section. The section from Hazelton to the Yukon border is estimated to cost $13,OO0 per mile, including bridges, totaling $7,930, ,O00 for British Columbia. The Alaska section is estimated at $1O,000 per mile, or total of $1 ,8O0,OO
 The Hyder Chamber of Commerce is particularly anxious that Con- grese should take favorable action at the coming session to give protection against the ravages of the Salmon river, and also to give employment to the sirt yor more men who are now in that town and out of work, largely because the low price of silver has resulted in closing most of the min ing properties. The projeet has been examined by Major Malcolm, Elliott, district engineer, and his report was forwarded on September, 15 to. the divisional engineer at San Francisco. When the report is forwarded to, the Washington office, and if it is favor able, the matter willl at once be taken up, with the hope of having the Budget approve the necessary ap- propriation SO that it c&n De included in the rivers and harbors bill.

Buster Keaton, of the frozen
countenance, cavorts through a
comedy of errors in which too

tribulations.

Mayors latest comedy, now
playing at Loew's Palace. Adapted
from the stage play, one of the
reigning comedy hits of Broad

in the role of a young man who
is "touted" as gay Lothario to
such an extent that he is in
trouble-mostly woman trouble
practically all the time. He gets
suspected by his sweetheart, is
caught in a compromising po-
sition with a married woman by
her jealous husband-who has a
gun-disrupts fashionable hotel,
wrecks a car and almost himself
and otherwise stays in hot water
to the infinite relish of the audi
ence.
Charlotte Greenwood, the cele-
brated comedienne of so Long

adds no end of jovality to those
scenes in which she goes through
all sorts of gymnastics stunts with
the long legs that made her IA
nous. The unusually prominent
supporting cast is further aug.

with United Artists on the price

There was some doubt as to
whether Loew's would pay Chap

A decade ago Wanda Lyon was

of new adjectives for the book

Besides she had the most gorgeous
wardrobe yet uncovered by a rep

matinee patrons.
AS far as this departments re-
cords go, this is her first appear
ance on the local rialto since her
early '20s triumphs. And If I'm
wrong an amendment will be
accepted on the opening night
of wonder Bar" when the

to gather.
