SUNDAY 2:00 P.M. 5000 WATTS Shadow Jj J BHD Following World War II, when the Hart highway, which runs from Prince George to Dawson Creek, was about to be oompleted, it was apparent that the West Coast would be from 500 to 800 miles clos er to Alaska than the route around be Edmonton.

About five years ago, a group of business men from Yakima. Klam ath Falls and Bend decided to as sist the existing organizations In promoting highway 97 in Oregon and Washington. In September of 1951 a caravan was organized which originated in Klamath Falls and traveled north ward on highway 97, stopping at larger cities where representatives from chambers of commerce ,'olned the tour. The representatives on that ti Ip from Klamath Falls in cluded Arthur W. Schaupp, Henry Scmon and Joe Van Wormer, free lance writer and photographer from Bend. At a meeting of the Okanogan Cariboo Trail association In Prince George in 1951 it was recom mended that the highway be num bered 97 all the way to Dawson Creek, and this was accomplished during the past year. Each chamber of commerce and tourist promotion gmup along the route is asked to everything possible to promote road improve ments and new construction on highway 97. The Okanogan Cariboo Trail association makes It possible to coordinate efforts and provides the instrument to promote tourist travel over highway 97. Two aims are paramount: I. To create the desire, especial ly of Californium;, to travel high way 87. 2. To, educate our own people on the advantages of highway 97, so that tourists will be kept on the road. The expanded organization is somewhat new and in attempting to proceed on p, sound financial basis members of chambers of com merce and similar groups have agreed to finance the nromotlnn of this new "Short route to Alaska." The organization will be Just what the communities along the way want to make of it. The local organization is called the Cascade Cariboo Trail associ ation and Is headed by Keith Cobo, owner of City Center Lodge and Marvin Brown, manager of the Wll lard Hotel. A drive for members is being conducted at the present time and every interested person is urged to become a member of this booster group. me next meeting of the local or ganization will be Monday, Feb ruary 8, at 7:30 in the chamber of commerce rooms.

That the International North Pacific Fisheries Commission launch a tagging program to de termine Origin of the salmon and that Canada be directly represent ed In the work. 3.
