Considerable time will pass before a route from the United States to Alaska is determined, he indicated to Kennard Jones, aviation secretary of the Chamber of Commerce. No decision has been made. Canada has started a line between Whitehorse, Yukon territory, and Lethbridge, Alt a. From Lethbridge to Great, Falls, Mont., is approximately 150 miles.

The latter includes a marker beacon that indicates the direction of a station from the plane.
