-'eving that*, convening of the

vorks a hardship pn ineji»esentative&
■orr. the Fourtk anaJReCond divi-i
ons, the executive committee of the
arbanks C.iihmercitit .dClub has
• .opted a resolution. urging that the
legislature meet on the first Monday
February* instead of- the;'first: Mond
ay in March, as is done at present,
ays the. Fairbanks NeSvarMirjer,;. .
Advancing the'date a month would,
he Commercial Cl lib. believes, give
‘spresentathres from*- ‘fivjkions o fart

of the Organic Act would have- to be
altered by' Congress. Chambers of
Commerce throughout . the Territory
will be asked to adopt, esolutionai
looking tp th ate, end and Delegate
Sutherland will probably be requested
to introduce a bill calling tor an
amendment to the Organic Act.
Another change-^ desired by the
FaTrbanks Commercial Club is the
lection date. The change desired is
from the first Tuesday after the' first
Monday in November to the first
> Monday .in September. To bring this
bout, Section 5 of the'Orgjkrrnt Act
muld have to be amended; ..
The reason forf this11 recmmnendar'i
on, it is said» lies in the-fact that in!
ihis division at least, and most likely j
in others? fully. 25 4)er cent of the
voters have gone to the States by
November an^the vote is thus far;
.inder the figure it should be. It is j
estimated thattrthis' cause decreased'!
he vote in the Fourth division by j
more than 25 ’per cent.
A proposal to ialk 'Fairbanks- and
the States by an international', high
way which would extend'through Yu
kon Territory and British Columbia
was advanced at Fairbanks a few
days ago at a meeting of the execu
1 tive committee* off the Firbanks Au
: tomoblle Association ancF Fairbanks
Commercial Club. Both organiza
tions-gave the proposal their enthusi
astic support and volunteered to lend
every assistance possible to make the
| plan an actuality.
Although such a highway has been
advanced several times in the past, in
formation concerning the route to be

traversed and conditions wh;ch would
be encountered has always been rat fe
ar nebulous, but the proposal taken up
recently was backed up by concrete
! figures which, show the project to be
.ntirely feasible. There are, of
course, details still to be learned,
such as the exact mileage of certain,
roads in British Columbia, but a re
quest for these facts has already
been made by mail and full informa
tion will be available within the next
few weeks. .
Briefly, the highway would extend
tend from Fairbanks to McCarty,'
■v.htre. it would turn eastward and
cross the' boundary line separating
A aska from Yukon Territory, thence
to Kluane, northeast, of Whitehorse,
and from there to Atlin and Tagun,
thence to Telegraph creek, Echo lake,
Kuldo, Hazeltan, Prince George, Van
couver and Seattle.
Just now much of the highway is
already built in unconnected links is
not definitely' 'knfbwn, although it is
;.stimated.jthat approximately half of
the total distance of 1550 miles from
Fairbanks .to Vancouver is completed.
After he had wanted a hearing in
■the District Court yit ^Fairbanks,- bail
for Thomas A. Marqtzam, indicted by
a grand, jury of the supreme court of
the District of Columhiiifor violation
!'of the federal corrupt practices act,
was. fixed in the:.sum of $5,000 by
'Judge Cecil H. Clegg, also issued
an order directing Mr. Marquam’s
removal to the jurisdiction of the in
dicting court.
Mr. Marquam was indicted in July
by a grand jury: sitting within the
H .. .JMMJ
^ns?
! jurisdiction of the supreme court of
he District of Columbia, and the is
suance of the warrant by the Fair
banks court, it is indicated, is the or
dinary procedure followed. The in
iT.ctment charges violation of the
federal corrupt practices act and
contains four counts, two alleging
felony and two misdemeanors.
