MOVEMENT AGAINST THE PRESENT INTERNATIONAL HIGHWAY PLAN

From Stewart B.C comes the report that very definite movement is underway in central Canada for highway to Alaska from the United States via Edmonton and cities in the interior of the Dominion It is an ambitious plan on the part of that portion of Canada but according to the Chamber of Com merce at Stewart the scheme goes little further than just building highway across central Canada. It proposed build it in preference to the Pacific International Highway which now extends as far north Hazeon.
 The plan it seems, has similarity to the repre- sentatons which made in effort to get an air mail route from the States via Edmonton, and naturally enough it probably will have the support of the same section of the United States which sup ported the Edmonton plan of mail route the point being route traffic through the central portion of the country rather than via the coast.
 Here in Southeast Alaska we are not going to profit very much by whatever route the road is built to Alaska The best We can hope for is spur con- nection, and that, according to engineers, is going to be something of engineering feat if accom- plished. However there appear to be great many why it would be inadvsable to abandon the present proposed route of the International Highway Primary among them is the fact that road exists far Hazelton which is cast and just little south of Stewart, B.C. and Hyder, Alaska. It would seem just little foolish to abandon such progress has already been made toward bringing a highway into
 
 advanced in the controversy the air mail route the coast highway would touch the principle cities and points of business in Canada and the United States which it originally planned to reach. Also, it cannot be overlooked that of the major pur- poses oi a ugnWay now proposed would be to attract motorists and the latter attracted by scenery. Surely, there can be comparison in the scenic attractions of the proposed coast road and highway which would down across the wind swept plains of central Canada.
 If the highway is extended from Hazelton, as it probably will day, Stewart and Hyder may be the first points of contact with Alaska Engineers say that there is low pass between Stewart and Hazelton which is now traversed by good trail and the matter of construction of road would be com- paratively simple. Hyder, being the twin city of Stewart therefore stands very good chance of being the first city in Alaska be connected with the Out siGe world by road.
 But apparently there is concerted move now to swing the highway plan to central Canada. If cities of the Pacific Coast and western British Columbia hope to be on the coastal route which some day will extend from Fairbanks to Buenos Aires they had better get busy.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1938.
 Adverse planetary aspects ap- pear to dominate today. According to astrology, the busiest hours are subject to evil portents.
 While good news for the future may appear in the journals of this date, the long winter will bring widespread discontent and suffer- ing. In the principal American cities relief agencies will be over taxed and the poor will sustain se- we're distress.
 Uranus is in a position supposed to encourage rebellious ideas and revolutionary propaganda. Radical leaders will gain followers, espec- ially among workers in industrial centers. Strikes and violence are indicated by the stars. Seaports are under evil portents.
 In the late hours of the day gov ernment representatives are well directed. The rule appears to prom ise cooperation with business heads and wise plans for the spring.
 Astonishing news of an alliance with Russia may be expected in the spring Important trading agree ments between the United States and Great Britain are also indi- cated.
 Again astrologers warn that acci- dents and fires will be more than usually numerous. Caution should be unremitting, especially in travel by automobile or airplane.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year in which pleas ures may compensate for griefs or disappointments. For many, jour neys are foretold.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be inclined to tempera- mental ups and downs. Subjects of this sign have unusual traits and talents.
 WinSlow Homer, famous artist, was born on this day 1886. Others who have celebrated it as birth day include George William Curtis, author and editor, 1924; Samuel Pro- voost, first Protestant Episcopal Bishop of New York, 1742.

Our First Line of Defense
(NeW York Times)


 Too little is known about the Department of State. Though commonly spoken of the country's first line of defense' the public seems to regard it as relatively unimportant accessory, and Congress con- sequenty inclines to treat it such useful cor rectve of this popular underestmaton was the address on Friday by George s Messersmith Assistant Secre tary of State before the New York Federation of Womens Clubs, on the work and needs of the de- partment.
 The oldest and first in rank of the executives agencies the Department of State carries 'in many respects the heaviest responsibilities It is the medi through which Government conducts official business with the rest of the world. The maintenance of diplomatic relations with other Governments, though the most important is only portion of the departments work Other aspects summarized by MT. Messersmith, include negotiation of trade agree ments and treaties; handling of international claims protection of American citizens abroad; sitting and checking abroad of potential immigrants to this try; issuance of passports for American ctzens con- trol of shipment of and munitions and partici- patton in international organizations to the advantage of all countries problems relating to national boun diaries, arbitration, science commerce industry and labor Impressive though this list of many and varied functions is mere recital can do more than sug- gest the vitay important role of the department
 Despite the worldwide scope of it's activities the State Department because of its excellent organiza ton, is economically administered The entire staff including the foreign service-the eyes and ears of the department-total less than 5000 persons The net cost to the United States for 1930 MT MeSSersmh estimates, will be less than $l0500000 less than 1 percent of the appropriations for the American Army and Navy in the period.
 Yet the Department of State, upon the function ing of which depends the issue of peace war not be that its minimum financial needs will be provided for This is not because of lack of under standing among the members of the appropriation committees of the Congress but because of popular indifference. Every American irrespective of his views foreign policy has direct interest in helping to to it that there shall be stinting of resources necessary to strengthen "our first line of defense"

looked the fact that conditions would have been much if the Juneau street department hadn't been on the job While most of observing holiday yesterday the street busily at work getting the streets and sidewalks in shape
 During the cold spell with its ice and snow day and night the city men were out sanding the walks and clearing the streets for traffic. Working against terrific odds of cold and additional snow they kept the city thoroughfares in comparatively good shape The same holds true of the Public Roads crew out the highway.
 Orchids we say to the men of the street depart ment and the BP.R. They did and doing darn good job which most of us should appreciate.

to prove just what strength an hon. est man would have against an or ganization boss. When the returns were compiled, the boss" to whom the novelist referred had 3,458 votes while MT. Mister had scant GA ballots to his credit. He then an- nounced he had made out better than he had anticipated.
 Creates Sensation
 Generally credited with being colt and scholarly in his dealings with his fellowmen, MT Mister surprised Philadelphia when he voluntaril. appeared before a coroner to plead for the release of Charles D. Skir- den, a Philadelphia policeman ac- cused of killing boy The appear ance of the novelist at the hearing created a sensation especially when MT. Mister revealed the fact that the policeman had acted as his guide on number of trips to the west lUl uldlClldl lol iioFSho, o'N had provided the inspiration for the character "Trampas" in "The Vir- ginian."
 The policeman was discharged when MT. Mister adduced a long career in the army in favor of the accused man.
 Distinguished Ancestry
 The Philadelphia novelist came of a distinguished ancestry. Born July IA, 1860, he could trace his ancestry back to prominent Revo- lutionary generals and statesmen. At Harvard he was classmate of the late President Roosevelt, and strong attachment grew up be- tween the two young students that lasted far into the years when each in his chosen field of endeavor be- came national figure Mister after his graduation first turned his hand to music and to the practice of law, having been member of the Phila- delphia Bar. Both proved unsatis- factory, and in 1892 he settled upon writing as the profession to which he was naturally fitted.
 In addition to "The Virginian, 7 among MT Wister's best known works are The Dragon of Want ley-His Tail" Red Men and White" Lin Mclean The Jimmy John Boss" ''U. s. Grant, a Biogra- phy,' Philosophy A." Journey in Search of Christmas" Lady Balti- more" The Simple Spelling Bee, ? Mother" "The Seven Ages of Washington" Members of tin c Family" The Pentecost of Calam- ity," ''The Ancient Grudge or a Straight Deal" Indispensable In- formation for Infants" He also was a contributor to magazines on many subjects.
