Dr Alfred Thompson MP predicts a Grand Trunk Pacific to British Columbia route will connect Yukon and Alaska. A rail line from Vancouver to Behring Sea would open up northern British Columbia and southern Yukon and boost trade to Vancouver and beyond.

Yukon gold output this year is estimated at 8 million dollars and US plans to spend 25 million to build 1000 miles of Alaska railway would spur Yukon commerce.
