(The Stewart Board of Trade
at a meeting held last week, re
sumed efforts instituted some
time ago to secure government
al cooperation with the Alaska
l oad authorities in keeping the
Salmon river highway open for
traffic during the winter.
Although a major portion of
the highway lies in Alaska,
between Hyder and the inter
national boundary line at Thir
teen-Mile, traffic passing over
it during the winter season is
almost entirely Canadian, as
the road provides the only J
traffic highway between Stew-:
art and Premier, B. C. The :
Alaska road authorities decid-:
ed last year that the small vol
ume of Alaska traffic did not
justify the heavy expense of
keeping the snow cleared away
beyond Nine-mile. As a result,
traffic between Stewart and j
Premier was greatly impeded
and a very unsatisfactory con
dition created.
Recognizing that the United
States should not be compelled
to bear the cost of keeping the
road open for Canadian traf
fic, the Stewart Board of Trade
undertook last spring to urge
upon the Birtish Columbian au
thorities the need for same
form of cooperation for keep
it open during the snowy per
iod and is hopeful that some
, thing will come of their ef
forts.

one year ago by a strange mal

him of memory and nerve
sensibilities, has been taken in i
charge by the U. S. Veteran’s
Bureau as a result of efforts
made by the local representa
tives of the American Legion
and left for Seattle Thursday,
accompanied by Ben Oien, who

Dr. J. W. Vooburgh, local ex

his peculiar complaint, which
has baffled both government
and private medical authori
