International Highway Is
Getting Attention in East
SEATTLE, Sept. 16.—A Jermane’s dispatch from Washington
to the Seattle Daily Times says revival of the proposal for an
international highway from Seattle to Fairbanks, Alaska, is at
tracting considerable attention in the East because of the
favorable report of its desirability and feasibility submitted to
President Roosevelt by the Commission.
The highway proposal is again before public notice and if
the President gives the report approval it may not be far
away when negotiations will begin with Canada upon whose
attitude everything depends.
The report to President Roosevelt offers concrete basis for
renewal of negotiations between the United States and Canada.

wed her again next month—this time permanently, he says. But one
never knows.
