The Victoria Daily Times recently voiced favorable sentiment from British Columbia and the Seattle Post-Intelli- gencer sees in the various actions reason to feel gratified over latest developments Commenting further the P.-I says:

Records are kept; when a motorist, has accumulated three blue ones he is summoned for consulta- tion.
 If motorist was at fault on each of three blue" violations he is re- quested to attend a traffic school Refusal brings prosecution on the last charge made against him.
 Red tickets are warnings to out of-state motorists who violate Evan ston traffic laws

 In view of the benefits to both countries in opening vast new territories the cost is not prohibitive. Tn our own country, all who hope for the strengthening of the ties between this region and Alaska will hope that workable plan for financing and constructing the high way can soon be devised.
