MAC DONALD FORGOTTEN
AYe wonder if there is “something rotten in Den
mark?”
If some one is trying to steal Mae's thunder?
All this talk, trips and investigations but not a word
about the man who conceived the idea of the Interna
toinal Highway; not once has he been extended the
courtesy of being placed in a position where be could j
carry on bis plan; enlarge upon bis idea which has been

Seattle and Portland, his activities have been limited;
if we recall correctly he is now in the “back-country” I
as locating1 engineer for the Alaska Road Commission.
Donald Mac Donald conceived the International
Highway and based his entire plan upon the connecting
of all existing roads into a chain that would interlock
all Alaskan communities. The interest taken by Con
gress and many public bodies has been dynamic.
Mac Donald, however, seems to have been dropped
out of the picture!
The President is about to appoint a commission
to work with Canadians on this project; the one man
whose entire lifetime has led up to the conception of
the International Highway, Donald Mac Donald, should
he a member of that commission and in the interest of
fair play and square dealing every civic body in the
Territory shoul take immediate action (today) recom
mending Mac Donald’s appointment as a member of the
commission, or committee, for recommending or inves
tigating the proposed International Highway.

BESSIE LOVE
Supported by a special cast n a strong buck-stage drama

A very fine play showing the ugly and the beautiful sides
of a young girl’s stage life. A tale true to life. A chapter
taken from the inner experience of a traveling show
troupe, giving that wonderful old play “Uncle Tom's
Cabin.” Many dramatie highlights.
The two-reel comedy has an unusual and at
tractive plot, securing evidence, divorce suit.

A roaring farce of detectives and counter-detectives,
dodging husbands and suspicious wives. A sure-fire laugh
getter. There is also a good News reel.
