John Miller, a Dominion gov
ernment engineer, arrived in
Dawson recently from White
horse, to examine the overland
route between Dawson and White
horse, lo report to Ottawa on the
advisability of granting a special
sum for the cont.sruction of an
automobile road between Dawson
and Whitehorse. Mr. Miller be
longs to the department of public
works, and has his headquarters
at Prince Rupert, under Mr. Hall,
engineer for the Northern British
Columbia & Yukon division.
It is estimated by those famil
iar with the Overland roule that
an automobile road between Daw
son and Whitehorse this place
would be twice as near the out
side in the winter as under present
winter conditions. Automobiles,
it has been demonstrated, can
I ravel in Yukon in winter with lit
tle, if any, difficulty. The use of
automobiles would not only elim
inate time, but be a great saving
in mainluininir service. The item

lli- a fad, that Valdez beoj^is a food and not a tonic.
Ask any doctor you know. Ytftdcz beer aids digestion. Use
it a few times with your luteals and you'll find we're right.
If you drink Leer you should use Valdez beer in preference to
others. First, hecause'-'of its unquestionable high quality.
Second, because it is a home product; brewed in your home
town and all who are interested in the growth and prosper
ity of Valdez should patronize home products.
