When this is built the highway would extend 45 miles north west or Moose Pass to Hope on Cook ln- let, and B miles south of Moose Pass making a through highway of 78 miles from Seward. There lis available forestry money to start this work but the project must first have the endorsement of District Forester Flory, the AL aska Road Commission and the Bureau of Public Roads.

CHICAGO. January 9-Plans to put
Leo v. Brothers, st. Louis gangster, in
the electric chair as the slayer of Alfred
Lingle, Tribune reporter, were pushed
today while reports were circulated
that Brothers had confessed the crime.
States Attorney John A. Swanson said
he was not prepared either to confirm
or deny them.
A definite announcement was made,
however, by Charles F. Rathbun, special
assistant States attorney in charge of
the Lingle investigation, and Patrick
Roche, chief investigator for Swanson,
that an immediate trial for Brothers
will be asked by the State, adding that

Information that a st. Louis woman
was a close associate of Brothers led
to her arrest in st. Louis yesterday.
Her name was given as Margaret
Farmer, also known by the names of
