NEW NORTHERN R \I1.W W
Advice* to the effect that the transalaska railway will be completed j
by January 1, with the exception of the spanning of one gulch and that j
the road will be licked up from end to end by the opening ot irrigation on |
the Yukon next spring forecasts nc« conditio!— in the Northland This!
large truck line, with the recent appropriations, is costing the United |
States government approximately J55,000,0i'i>. and is one of the most not
able of all enterprises undertaken on behalf o£ the Northland.
The new rand will have a direct bearing on the traffic on the Yukon
river and on development of the vast Yukon Basin, it is expected thai
much business which heretofore has bet n handled entirely by river steam
ers will go over the railway, and that a new tourist belt line wiU be es
tablished. Dawson cay feel the change to no inconsiderable degree
Tourists entering Yukon via the Skagway gateway will find it possi
ble to go down the Yukon via Dawson and out via Fairbanks. Nenana and
Anchorage. Those entering via the Anchorage gateway will be able to
come up the Yukon. The traveling up and down the Yukon in connection
with the raitway will be contingent, of course. upon the keeping up of a
service on the Dawson-Nenana river section suitable to attract the tour
ists.
If the business proves adequate, this Kit line may become the most
famous of any through the land of the midnight sun on this continent If
the connecting lick :n the river section not be maintained, travel over the
tew railway likely will not prove nearlj .is alluring to the tourist.
To make a long journey inland over the railway and back over the
same route will not afford tlie variety nor cham of being able to swing
around the circle with an ever new and chai -ig panorama —Dawson

Mr Tumulty, secretary to President Wilson during his two terras in
the tt ;,*te House, is giving to the world h s impression of the President,
his friends and enemies, in a book, in doing this he is following the pre
i .-dent so generally observed in recent years, in war, in pflnce. and in the
most intimate relationships of life.
If this were being done in the interests, of peace or in senu-e for one's!
country or from the standpoint of its historical importance. it might be in
part commendable, hut there is the lurking suspicion—founded on rather
good evidence—that the prime object is tae acquisition of the published"s
check.
Mr. Tumulty used his official position as secretary to keep Mr. Tumul
ty prominently before the public, often to that public's disgust, and this
latter act will only contirm a long-suffering public in the mistake which
the former President made in keeping a n.an of his type jd so responsible
a position. Yet the Pres.dent heid Ins secretary in high esteem even to
the last. » hen he made-a number of efforts to land Tumulty in a sinecure
for life Yet the former secretary prints this intimate history without
permitting the former President to see it before going to press. Tum*lty j
knew thai the ITesident would not sanction >uch a move Cfwar hai h.si

"The prospect is." say* Secretary of Labor Pavis. "that no one who
needs ar.d wants to work roust go through the winter without means of
livelihood We are unmistakable on tin move hack to prosperity." Re
ports from many parts of the country be-ar testimon> to the fact that men
who really want to find work have little difficulty n doing so. While there
is undoubtedly a large amount of involuntary unemployment, the totals
that are presented to the public from time to tune are padded with the
count of thousands of individuals who have refused ofters of employment
because they preferred to remain idle rather than accept a wage below a
minimum they have set for themselves.
National prosperity is largely dependent upon the state of mind of ]
the workers. Industry cannot go forward while wage-earners refuse to
accept employment at a compensation that makt-> it profitable for the own
er of a plant to keep it in operation. The fact that all Indications point
to a stimulation of production all o\er the country is proof of the fact that
the workers are getting away from the false adv:sc so freely bestowed hy
thalr organization leaders, and are willing to accept a wage that the sup
ply and demand of the labor market prescribe.—Cordova Times.
