Politics

Mr.

He

'The

And
he

HIGHWAY
LUNCHEON
.Hon.
Charles
Stewart
Entertained
Here
Yesterday
Afternoon
Quite
a
large
number
of
business
and
professional
men
of
Prince
Ru-ert
gathered
at
noon
yesterday
to
.unch
with
Hon.
Charles
Stewart,
chairman,
and
other
members
of
the
Alaska
Highway
Commission.
James
T.
Harvey,
president
of
the
Prince
Rupert
Chamber
of
Commerce,
was
in
the
chair
and
a
?uest
also
of
the
Chamber
wax
Major
J.
Gordon
Smith
of
the
British
Columbia
Travel
Bureau.
Following
the
luncheon
Mr.
Stewart
gave
a
brief
address
in
which
he
explained
that
their
duty
was
to
make
an
authentic
report
on
the
possibility
of
a
highway
to
Alaska.
Mr.
Stewart
spoke
of
the
value
of
iueh
a
highway
as
a
tourist
attraction.
It
was
pleasing
to
note
that,
after
ten
or
twelve
years
of
effort,
anada
had
benefited
to
the
ex-.ent
of
$275,000,000
from
tourist
travel.
This
was
a
collosal
figure
jut
it
should
be
remembered
that
che
United
States
expended
huge
sums
every
year
In
tourist
travel
XTie
possibilities
were
great
especially
at
a
time
when
Europe
and
Asia
were
not
as
attractive
as
for
merly.
It
was
the
time
to
make
a
united
effort
to
secure
the
business.
He
quoted
a
lady
whom
he
recently
net
who
said
she
had
visited
almost
every
country
in
the
world
and
had
seen
nothing
to
compare
with
the
scenery
of
western
Canada.
Speaking
of
the
proposed
Alaska
Highway,
Mr.
Stewart
said
such
a
highway
would
be
a
great
asset
Many
Americans
would
be
attracted
by
the
opportunity
of
driving
through
that
part
of
Canada
landing
up
eventually
in
American
territory.
,
it
was
ojilxriatflxal..that
Alaska
citizens
should
be
anxious
that
the
highway
should
go
as
near
as
possible
to
their
territory
so
that
they
might
have
an
opportunity
of
connecting
up
with
It
The
task
of
the
commission
would
be
a
difficult
one.
The
country
was
vast
and
the
activities
many.
Prince
Rupert
was
Interested
because
it
was
hoping
to
connect
up
with
the
highway
and,
while
the
city
had
not
so
far
received
much
encouragement
In
that
direction
he
had
been
told
that

fpoke
for
a
few
minutes.
He
agreed
with
the
chairman
of
the
commis
sion
that
development
of
the
tourist
business
depended
on
making
a
united
effort.
He
had
come
to
Prince
Rupert
to
find
out
what
were
the
problems
affecting
the
business
and
If
co-operation
could
be
obtained.
The
travel
bureau
might
be
of
great
assistance
to
the
local
organization
and
It
would
be
to
the
Interests
of
Prince
Rupert
to
do
Its
