A.-Y.-P. Road Commission.
Seattle Times.l

Premier Tolmie's announcement at Victoria B. o. of the organization of the international commission to consider the feasibility of constructing the AL aska- Yukon-Pacific Highway, indicates that pre- hmlnary work on that magnificent project will be undertaken. The American members of the con- mission appointed last Novmeber Herbert H. Rice of Detroit, Assistant to the President of Gen. eral Motors, heads the representatives from the United States. Serving with him are Ernest Walker Sawyer, representing the Department of the Interior and Major Malcolm Elliott of the Army The Can adan commissioners are J. M Wardle of Banff. representing the Dominion Government; James Mo Neill of Dawson, representing Yukon Territory; and George P. Napire of Victoria representing British Columbia.
 Since the greater part of the road which will link Fairbanks with Seattle, will be through Can adian territory, the of the great project depends upon the whole-hearted support of our neighbors to the northward Premier Tolmie has stated that money would be found for the enter prise without disturbing any funds needed for local highway development. Presumably aid will be sought of the Dominion Parliament. No difficulty is seen in extending the Alaska end of the highway from Fairbanks to the border and a road already is built from Seattle to Hazelton B. C. The re- maining stretch through the wilds of British Co., umba and Yukon Territory presents no extraordinary difficulties.
 The highway would open up rich empire in Northern British Columbia, and Yukon Territory The vast resources of that wild region are as yet almost untouched. The cost of the highway would be but a small part of the new wealth made avail able for the people of the northern provinces
 Advocates of the Alaska -Yukon-P Pacific Highway dream of a road extending the full length of the two Americas. What development will be possible can be only conjectured, but the link between Seattle and Fairbanks is up for first consideration It will be well worth while to ascertain if such an ambitious project is practicable

An Imaginary Visit.
Cincinnati Enquirer.)

Cincinnati Enquirer) The event is most improbable, if we know our science but visit from the signers of the Declara- ton of Independence just now would produce some extraordinary reflections. Those ardent champions of liberty doubtless would be interested in the marvellous physical changes in American life since their own heyday.
 But once they had exhausted their curiosity about subways and skyscrapers, electric lighting and me- teoric transportation methods they surely would turn effectively to just what progress has been made in the matter of closest concern to them.
 Larger than anything else in their lives was the conflict of the Great Britain of George III and his American colonies. They would recall the mani fest tyrannies of colonial Governors the unjust taxes the resort of smuggling, and finally the bellion of eight years when petitions and pleas failed to win any concession.
 Doubtless they would be impressed with the fact that the United States, a giant beside their 13 struggling colonies, is living in peace with the mother country, and that Canada is ruling herself while remaining loyal They might look upon the British Empire with even more surprise than upon Americas own industrial empire
 Possibly the outstanding feature of recent months that would challenge them would be the spectacle of the British Government meeting with delegates from India, on terms of equality about the council table, to discuss differences and work out a means of evolutionary self f-government
 They would recall the futile petitions they sent to England, the ever more taxes that fol- lowed and the sanguinary struggle that eliminated They could not fail to detect in the technic of government significant advance-the replacement of military and economic force by negotiation and conciliation.
 No doubt they would conclude, after such panoramic survey of political life in 1881 that some real gains have been made since they lived on earth, and that however mankind blunders there are clear signs of progression those far enough away to look about with detachment and pers- pective

WAY CLEARED FOR ACTION.

Commonsense at last has prevailed in national legislative and executive councils where after weeks of discord relief appropriations, semblance of harmony has been restored by the adoption of compromise which has satisfied those Senators who demanded Government aid for suffering man. kind and met the approval of President Hoover who determinedy resisted anything that smacked of a Federal dole. If in the compromise way has been found to ameliorate the misery of the hundreds of thousands of men, women and children without forcing the nation to adopt the dole sys- tenn the country has cause for thanksgiving.
 It has reason also, to be relieved that thus is the way cleared for Congressional action the de- partmental supply measures These bills carry the money which the various departments must have in order for the Government to carry its normal activities. Their total is almost three and one-haf billion dollars. Any serious delay in their enact ment could only be productive of Reorganization and add to the confusion and distress caused by the widespread unemployment which already detracts from our prosperity There only two weeks re- maining of the Fist session of Congress-all too hrief a space of time in which to consider details of the several appropriation measures But with a majority of both branches sincerely minded to enact them and thus prevent any necessity for special session of the 72nd Congress there should be no great difficulty in attaining that object.

SECRET OF POPULARITY.

If a writer or lecturer desires to be beloved by the people of the United States all he has to do is to say harsh things of them ridicule lambast hold them up to and otherwise show them every possible incivity. That is the rule which George Bernard Shaw has made his in dealing with America and American topics he recently told the New York Times. His remarks were in response to a query from a Times correspondent for Shaw's opinion on Sinclair Lewis's address at Stockholm accepting the Nobel prize for literature n which the American satrist attacked the present literary standards in this country.
 MT. Shaw less serious in his contention than he would have us believe. He credits Ameri- cans with less familiarity with his own works than they actually possess It is upon the basis of its general excellence, upon his forthrightness and forceful individuality that his American popularity rests rather than upon his comments almost always keenly caustic, about American life and customs While nationals often disagree with what ht has to say about ourselves, we nevertheless reac with interest and often amusement, what he say. and how he says it.
 writing about Americana is so delightfully."- rude that no one will take offense at him for saying:
 myself have been particularly careful
 never to say civil word to the United
 States. I have scoffed at their inhabitants
 as a nation of villagers. I have defined
 the 100 per cent American as 90 per cent
 an idiot. And they just adore and
 will go adoring me until in moment tf

Lack of Runs Knocked in Hurts
 Terry's Hold Out
Associated Press Photo

NEW YORK, Feb. 17.-Offi- cials of the New York Giants have found one flaw in the .401 batting average that Bill Terry, first baseman, has thrown up to them in a demand for a salary of S25,00O for the coming season.
 Though Terry led both leagues in hitting last season and was the first member of the Giants to capture the batting cham piGnship since 1915, it is report ed, hints have been made that his pr0digious feat had some- thing of an ornamental flavor.
 Terry, batting cleanup in the full 154 games, drove 129 runs across the plate. On the ether hand, Hack" Wilson, Chicago Cub cutfielder, who hit 45 points less drove in 190. And Chuck Klein, cleanup slug ger for the Phillies, used his 1886 batting average to drive home 174 runs.

u. championship for the locals. This
gives the boys a chance to go to
Chicago and play for the National 8.

In the game Sunday the locals
spotted Gilbert a two run lead and had
to come from behind to win. A five
run rally in the second frame ac-
counted for alf of the Arrowhead runs.
Gilbert picked up two more markers
in the succeeding innings but were
unable to overtake the locals.
Grahek, pitching for Ely, allowed
four hits and struck out sixteen bats
men. Maloverh, the visitors hurler
allowed six hits. Both hurlers re-
ceived ragged support in the early
