He built himself a cabin from red'
cedars of his own;
Me blasted out the stumps and
twitched the bowlders from the
soil;
And with an axe and chisel he fash
ioned out a throne
Where he might dine in grandeur
off the iirst fruits of his toil.
His orchard is a treasure-house
alive with song and aun.
Where currants ripe as rubies
gleam and golden pippins glow;
His servants are the wind and rain
uhose work U never done.
Till winter rends the scarlet roof
and hanks the halls with snow.
He shouts across the valley, and the
rallies answer back;
His brushwood smoke at evening
lifts a column to the moon;
And dim beyond the distance, where
the Kootenav snakes black.
He hears the silence shattered by
the laughter of the loon.

TOWAGK FOK SKAOWAV
IS LOOKED FOR
Very small tonnage will be di
verted from the Skagway route by
reason of completion of tbe govern
ment railroad in Alaska, according
to General Manager Herb Wheeler
of the White Pass & Yukon railroad,
who says■
The completion of the govern
ment railway undoubtedly will
change the rout.ng on some ton
nage. but very few people realise
how small the total volume of this
tonnage that moves into Alaska
points in the Yukon valley, and still
less do they realize how small a
proportion of that tonnage the
railway will handle.
During the season of 1921, the to
tal tonnage moved through Skag
way for America® Yukon river
points, was slightly in excess of 2.
000 tons of which over 400 tons was
for the railway itself, tonnage en
t.rely dependent on construction
work. Out of the 1,600 tons of
commercial freight considerable of
this was for main river points, such
as Circle, Kagle. Fort Yukon aud
Dl her points between Dawson and
the mouth of the Tanana river, and
this tonnage can still go and prob
ably will go via Skagway in the
future.
Do you think the loss of a few
hundred tons of freight is going to
put Skagway off the map and leave
the port isolated other than tourist
trips?
It seems to be the aim and object
of many people to try and put us out
of business, and they have been do
ing much gloating recently over the
prospect, but they are going to be
disappointed. We are not going out i
of business, except on ,<he Tanana
river, and we will handle more busi
ness through Skagvay in 1912 than
»e d'd in 1921. and we will not be
at the mercy of an occasional "tour
ist trip."
I hp ranwav win uuuuuuieui* Fei,'
nil the tonnage thai moves to Tan
una river points, but how nrtich
does that amount The amount
of commercial tonnage that moved
to Tanana river points during the
seaaoo of 1921. via both St. Michael
and Skagway gateway was approxi
mately 3.000 tons, and when rail
way construction ceases, a lot of
construction labor will leave the
country and the tonnage will shrink.
The railway is going to cut into
our revenues to a certain extent,
possibly to the extent of a maximum
of $200,000 per annum, and possl
lilv they will get S 100.000 revenue
out of our loss, and possibly it will
cost them $200,000 to do it, and the
taxpayers of this country, mi-self
included, will have the privilege of
digging up the odd SI.900.000.
No amount of hot air or argument
will take care of the deficit—that
lias got to be paid in cash by you
and me and all the other taxpayers,
including the gloaters already re
ferred to. They are going to pay
in cash, so much per gloat.
Railroad men connected with the
White Pass railroad returning from
the north do not believe the govern
ment railroad will deliver any
freight to Tanana points after the
March thaw. They claim the gov-1
ernment railroad is Improperly bal-l
lasted, and that the spring thaw
will not only destroy the roadbed,
l>ut will cause a hardship on Tanana
shippers who have been assured the
railroad would be ready to handle
all 1922-shipments.
It was announced some days ago
that the White Pass would cut out
all Tanana river points next season.
