MERGER WILL NOT VIOLATE THE DEGREE OF
 1909

M. sT- LOUIS, Feb, l8, [Py Three judges of the federal circuit court approved the proposed mer- ger of the Vacuum oil Company and the Standard oil Company of New York in one of the most important commercial decisions in recent years.
 The judges held that the union of the Standard Oil Company of New York with assets of S708, ,OOO.- 900 and the Vacuum Oil Company with assets of 2O5,O0O,OO0 in a world wide petroleum products distributing corporation does not violate the decree of 1909 under which the Standard Oil Companies were ordered to dissolve The cir cult judges ruled that the decree of 1909 was meant to prohibit only the merger of the Standard Oil interests which would actual ly violate the law against com binations in restraint of trade. and they held that the proposed merger of Vacuum and Standard of New York did not so violate the law
 Counsel for the United States indicated that they will appeal to the supreme court as soon as possible

 0N VETS BILL
BILL ASKS FOR SUM BEYOND THE PRESENT CALL OF
 DISTRESS

WASHINGTON, Feb, l8, (P- The Senate finance committee approved the Veterans loan bill in spite Of President Hoover's serious objection in a letter to Chairman Shoot
 The letter indicated that the President would veto the A1eas- ure.
 The President said that it would be necessary to float bonds in order to take care of the loans which are estimated will reach more than $l,0C00OO, ,000.
 He said one appealing argu- ment for such legislature was for the Veterans in distress but placing the strai2 on savings is needed for rehabilitation and employment by measure which calls upon the government for vast sum, beyond the call of dis tress and SO adversely affecting the general situation, will, in my view, not only nullify the benefit to veterans but inflict injury to the country as a whole
 The committee made no change in the bill as it came from the House.

MAJOR ELLIOTT
 OUTLINES H|GHWAY
 PLANS, CHAMBER
DONALD MACDONALD AND GATEWAY PUBLICITY ARE
 COMMENTED UPON

Speaking Of the Pacific Yukon Alaska Highway, at Tuesdays Chamber of Commerce luncheon, Major Malcolm Elliott, President of the Alaska Road Commission, said, although this project does not directly concern Seward, as 1t would be many years before it could touch here, it is gratifying to note the extent to which the people of Seward have boosted for it.
 It has most important bearing Ion Alaska's future, and though previously mentioned in our de- partment, it did not arouse much outside interest until Donald Macdonald, one of our engineers, got busy on it through the Chamber of Commercial 0f Fair banks MacDonald'S story in The Gateway was widely copied by outside newspapers and other publications, which resulted in a sweep of publicity
 This caused Canadian officials to write us on the feasibility of the project. and soon interest was taken in the matter by the U. s. Department of the Inter ior and other Washington offi- cials, after which the plan re- ceived the tentative endorsement of President Hoover Senators and Congressmen then got busy and passed the first bill author izing the appointment by the President of 3 special Commis- sioner to study the project.
 Tn the meantime, negotiations were being carried on with Can- ada, Those between British Col- unbia and the United States be- ing less formal. Canadian enthus- iasm was very high. The caravan that was organized comprised B or IA automobiles and abllt 45 persons. It started at Seattle and jOurneyed to Hazelton, B. C..I North of 53." Hazelton IS in cen tral British Columbia and the center of important mineral dis trictS. The region is sorely in need of highway system, such as this project will give them.
 The route from White Horse to Alaska is still undecided upon. The decision should be made by the Territories concerned; British Columbia, Yukon Territory and Alaska.
 In pushing the project, pub licity has been great aid to US, and we are grateful to the pub lications having thus assisted us.
 50 far as giving credit to any particular persons responsible for what has been done so far, there IS no controversy among those of us who have worked on it. We are concerned, rather, with what yet to be accomplished. 4
 The services of our engineer, Donald Macdonald have been ex- tremely valuable, an we expect to use his talents and attain ments in the work that remains
