THE WAGOX ROAD
Owing to the circulation around
to&'n by irresponsible riarties of .re
por.s for which there is no founda
tion, the attitude of .the Daily Al
askan on the question of the pro
posed government wagon road from
Skagway to the international boun
dary at Summit is pretty thorough
ly misunderstood by the people of
:ais :owu. In order to correct the
imprsisiou that we are opposed to
't<a building cf this road, or, in
fact, opposed tfl any other public
improvement that has for its object
'fie betterment o* business condi
*i( us in this community, we are
making this exolanatka.
We are unqualifiedly in favor of
"-e nutting In cf the proposed high
way as far as White Pase City at
the present time and finishing it
tc. the Summit whenever arrange
ments can be made with the Brit
ish Columbia and Yukon territory
governments to connect with it there
and continue it on to the interior.
Until that tim« comes.it would
appear to us the heighth of folly to
build the road further than White
Pass City.
Would it n' t bo a good business
iroposition to expend our efforts
and what influence we possess in
the attainment cf an object of
immediate benefit—that is the con
struction of a good serviceable
road as far north as the point we
have ruentl^ued, with side lines to
Denver glacitr ar.il other nlaces of
interest to tourists. After this
is accomplished there will be no
difficulty in ou* getting connected
with a Canadian road at the sum
mit whenever the people of the in
terior pet ready ♦<•. build K.
THK CELEBRATION
The time is now close at .hand
for the people of Skagway to take
steps toward the raising of funds
and the appointment of committees
for the proper celebration of , the
Glorious Fourth. For seventeen
veais the people c* Skagway have
lookfcl forward tc the obsen-ance
of the May day celebration of our
Canadian cousius In Bennett and
While horse and the celebration of
"•ur o*n national holiday at home, as
the two gTeat events of the year—
which they are in truth. Last year
there was a blaik shadow over
o-.;r threshold, which cast a gloom
uuon cur spirit of rejoicing, but
which was greatly lightened by the
warm and spontaneous sympathy of
our visitors across the line, who
had come over to take part with
us in doing honor to the day, but
who, when our Borrow came, re
mained to offer their heartfelt con
dolences.
In the year that will be round
ed out on the coming Fourth of
July we have gr«at cause to re
joice, tor the a-ffairs of the ter
ritory have again commenced to
wear the roseatt? hue of prosperi
ty, progress, and commercial and
financial reawakening, while those
of tne nation, which have been
p-issing through troubled waters,
wlicre the slightest relaxation .of
vigilance on the Dart of those at the
h°aj of affairs would have spelled
disaster, have so far passed safe
i.v through the threatening dangers,
that we believe we are now in
sigh» of the still and peaceful
wlcrs below.
Then let us get busy and pre
pa.e for a proper observance of.the
"Vnrth, and issue invitations.to our
neighbors to join with us in . the
celebration of a day which . every
patriotic America^reveres.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot rcach
tho diseased portion of the oar. There li
only one way to cure deafness, and that Is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is
caused by an Inllamed condition of the mu
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or linporfcct hearing:, and when It is
entirely closed. Deafness Is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal condi
tion. hearlnic will be destroyed forever;
cast* out of ten are caused by Caturrh.
which Is nothing but an Inflamed condition
of th«* mucous surfaces.

case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that
cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure.
