the

The.
main
question
to
be
an

is
whether
the

hold
their
slender
majorities
in
the
senate

or
the
Republicans
gain

In

the
Republicans,
would
need
a
virtual
landslide
to
win
a
majority.
Today's
election
gives

an
untrammelled
opportunity
to

the
Prince

Chamber
of

at
suggestion
of

committee,
decided
to
take

at

relative
to
the

of

to

Before

over

and
Monday,

total

"I
feel
it
is
quite
an
honor,"
said
Mrs.
Nelles,
when
she
learned
how
chance
had
made
her
Trans-Canada's
millionth
aska
Highway
and
the
Haines
Cut-off.
Alarmed
by
the
shortage
of
supplies
in
Alaska
due
to
the
long
interruption
of
normal
steamship
traffic
between
Se
attle
and
Alaska
owing
to
la
bor-management
dUputeSt
the
Fairbanks
Chamber
of
Com
merce
had
communicated
with
the
Prince
Rupert
Chamber
suggesting
Its
co-operation
in
making
representations
which
might
lead
to
an
easing
of
the.
Canadian
regulations
as.
far
as
shipping
over
the
highways
is
concerned.
The
Awka
com
mittee
was
sympathetic
with
the
Alaskans
in
their
plight
but
felt
that
the
matter
might
be
ironed
out
without
interjection
of
the
local
chamber
at
this
time.
The
Chamber
did
feel,
however,
that
something
should
be
done
towards
getting
a
more
generous
allowance
of
export
permits
so
that
more
goods
might
be
shipped
from
hero
to
the
relief
of
Alaska
in
its
extremity.
"Fair
amount"
of
'supplies
had
already
been
sent
from
here
but
a
great
deal
more
would
be
sent
but
for
the
limitation
After
some
discussion,
it
was
decided
to
communicate
with
the
Governor
of
Alaska
and
the
Chambers
of
Commerce
of
Juneau
and
Ketchikan
suggesting
that
they
appeal
to
the
Canadian
government
for
an
easing
of
the
export
permits
so
that
more
goods
might
be
consigned
from
Prince
Rupert.
It
was
also
suggested
that
the
Canadian
National
Railways,
ln
view
of
the
situation,
might
take
more
active
steps
in
developing
traffic
between
Prince
Rupert
and
Alaska.
