COOPERATE IN OBSERVANCE
As in previous years, the Navy is cooperating with
the Navy League of the United States in the observance
of the late President of the United States, Theodore
Roosevelt, October 27. Falling on Sunday, yesterday,
the 28, today, will be observance date.
The Navy League believes and stresses the unity
of the Navy with every interest in the National life,
and the need for sea-power with expanding commerce—
the need for Peace Insurance, it is fitting that this year
especially, with discussions and proposed conferences
on armament questions, the great American public think
deeply on this vital subject. In the last analysis it is
their Navy—their Insurance.
In honor of that Great American, who as Assistant
Secretary of the Navy, Commander-in-Chiet, and last
but not least, American Citizen, did so much for the
building up of American sea-power and influence, Theo
dore Roosevelt’s birthday, Navy Day, has been set aside
as the Navy’s day “at home” to the Public.
On this day the Navy Department at Washington
and its stations and ships throughout the wide world,
open their doors so that ail Americans, each part-owner
in this greatest of Insurance Companies, may see at
first-hand the result of their foresight.
Those of the Navy in Alaska are few, eight radio
stations, two officers and over 70 men, outposts of the
National Defense, essential clauses in the National In
surance Policy. These men are at the service of the Pub
lic every hour, watching and safeguarding the shipping
to and from Alaska, endeavoring to create a sense ot
safety, to furnish safety.
It is the purpose of the Navy League to foster m
the American public this sense of safety; for continued
Peace and a definite confidence that the first line ot
defense will be kept adequate for its possible needs.
AND THEN IT DAWNED
It is noted with interest that after two-vears of
consistent effort—alone and unaided by any other paper
who may have feared stepping on the toes of a bureau,
the Gateway’s attitude for open season on brown bear

but no more so than those who have been killed in the

NAME OF OOliTE
INTERNATIONAL HIGHWAY RE
NAMED ON ACCOUNT OF IN
DEFINITENESS MEANING
Alaskans are asked by Major
Malcolm Elliott, president of the
Alaska Road Commission, to take
official cognizance of the renaming
of the so-called “International
Highway”, the proposed road that
will connect up Seattle and Van
couver with Fairbanks, Alaska. The j
new name is known as the Pacific -
Yukon Highway.
The name would appear to have ‘
the following advantages:
It is descriptive of the general
area traversed by the road. It is
broad enough to cover a road along
the western coast from Panama,
thru Central America, California,
Oregon, Washington, British Co
lumbia and Yukon Territory to Al
aska.
It avoids the indefiniteness or
;he name “International Highway”
vhich has heretofore been applied
x) the Alaska-United States route.
Confusion with other international
■outes should be avoided. It im
mediately suggests the great Yukon
country which has been immortal
ized in modern literature, giving
Dhe flavor of adventure to* a trip
;jver it. The Yukon river is a great
aavigable waterway serving a large
part of the Canadian and Alaskan
Territory traversed by the route.
The Pacific ocean was so named
by Balboa because of the smooth
ness of the sea. But the name can
now be interpreted to refer to the
peaceful and cordial relations that
have prevailed between the western
parts of Canada and the United
States for over 100 years and the
encouragement of this internation
al road will give to a continuance of
these relations.
The route so named may be sub
divided into "Pacific Highway” and
“Yukon Highway” which would be .
descriptive of the sections re- -
spectively south and north of Seat- ■
tie. ~ I
