ious British Columbian organizations, the Yukon Territory, Premier Tolmie of British Columbia and numerous automobile and Good Roads clubs and associations in both the United States and Canada. In addition both the American and Canadian governments have appointed commissions to col laborate in an investigation of the feasibility of the great project.
 Furthermore preliminary location survey some 800 miles in length has been made by airplanes and ground survey crews at the instance of Pre- mier Toimie of British Columbia, to whom is due very large measure of credit for the remarkable progress so far achieved in the development of this great undertaking.

 Of the 2,000 odd miles of main highway reaching from Seattle to Fairbanks, some 1900 miles are al ready constructed, hence scarcely more than 1000 miles of new high way construction would be necessary to give autoists of the United States and Canada free access to Alaska.
 That this great highway project is both feasible and practical is the opinion of all who have carefully ex- amined the available data regarding

 Beyond the TCassiar and some 1850 miles from Seattle lies the beautiful Atlin Lake district This is a land of sublime panoramas and inspiring vis- tas which no artist has yet been able to successfully depict. From beneath it's verdant dune-lands too, have come great stores of yellow gold to enrich the world of men.
 Some hundred miles beyond this land of beauty lies Lake Bennett. at the head of the mighty Yukon, where the Golden Twilight Trail will link with the romantic trail of '9S, over which vast hordes of gold-seekers travelled in the now distant days of the Klondike gold stampede.

The splendid interest and cooper ation given by Premier Tolmie and the leaders of both Liberal and Con servative parties of British Columbia in the development of the Pacific Yukon-Alaska Highway project drew from the 1881 Alaska Legislature the following resolution of appreciation: SENATE JOINT RESOLUTION NO. 6
 WHEREAS, The construction of the projected Yukon Highway is at the present time is one of the greatest economic needs of Alaska; and
 WHEREAS, The Lieutenant Govern or and Premier and the other mem bers of the Government of the Prov ince of British Columbia, Dominion of Canada, have exerted every prac- ticable effort to have said highway constructed at the earliest possible date; and
 WHEREAS, The building of said highway will be of tremendous mu- tual advantage to both the territory of Alaska and to the Province of British Columbia arising not only from improved facilities of trade but from the increase in development of
