MAY ADVANCE
LINE OK DEFENSE
WASHINGTON, June 27—Great
inlcre*.* has been axpri»*<d in the
probable coUTbe to be followed in
Mexicans attack tlia American
cclumu. It is regarded us probabl
that a general rapid advance would
be ordered from t'.te border to a
liue perhaps 100 or mo:© mile.*
sou'h of she ^rder. 'lhis line then
wculd be fortified and held until
volunteer reinforcetcer.ts becam
available, thus fighting would be
thrown into the en-»:ny's terrifc* y
ainl thto bonier proteiti'd ngvinst

CANADIAN CONDITIONS
Under the heading, "Americans

neau XJlaip.ufcb: lOiiuta a souio.vh;U
lenglji article in its Issuance of
las' Friday. Leading bis mater
piece with the loltawiug.
+ +♦♦ + + ♦ + + + + ♦***
<• "J;'uies McCkskey will close +

* t ummcr and no* attemjpt to *

<■**+** + * + + * + * + *
He burst forth with a C'ceroivean
oratio 0:1 th© labor condlitlonc in
Canada. The article, apart Pioiti
the mere detail of being untrue, is
a joke, and the editor tff the Dis
patch wm --.vidently suffering from
a teraporo-ry mental alberration
whit ft resulted in his g.ititing twist
ed in his current Canadian and
Mexican hit-tory.
I' is also evident L at Ite believes
'h' rebellion in Ireland is still on,
as he is strong for the MoCioskuy
family all through the piece.
The statement is made in the
article that no maohmwis nor
workingmen are allowed to cross
the border Into Canada unless they
will gwnar aliegianct to Canada. We
liave taken this point up with the
Canadian Imntigrration and Oueitoms
authorities wluo ad~vi.se us that this
is au absolute n»i statement. Any
eitizeji ol the United Static who
has $50.00 iu cash, can enter Atlin
or the Yukon, end there is no
more difficulty for au Ame. lean en
tering Canada than there is for a
Canadian entering the States. Fic
tion rat.ier than facts has, how
ever, always been favouied by the
Dispatch, and in an effort to have
a rtal good brain storm while he is
a» it, the Philo Orubb "detective"
editor scents a war move. The
plo* thickens! More recruits are
wau-ttd to be rushed 'o the front!
We have talked with Gov. Geo.
Black, of tlhe Yukon, also with Dr.
Alfred Thompson, member Ci'Om tbe
Yukon 'o the Dominion parlkiment,
also to other prominent Yukoners,
and the? all state that ever since j
the war started, the condition in
'he Yukon has been that moire men j
offered thieir Bervlce*> than the gov
ernment was willing or aisle to ac
cept. There hiave been many, mai.j;
cases o* whtich. we hWe petraonal
knowledge where men anxious to
join the colors, and who 1mki bean
unable 10 get into the regular cou
tingtnts, have l>akl their own ex
penses fixxm Dawson to Viuicouver, I
to Toronto, and sometimes even I
through to London. The Yukon (
giwernmeaut has never lad to "Ru- I
sel" for recruits. The real trouble
was In the "Dispatch" and it seams
to be "here yet.
Another hallucdnation, transferred
from the fevered brain of the Dis
patch man into cold, block type is
the reference to'lie freight rates
between Sksgway and Atiin, whlc
the article states is $87.00 per ton.
The following- are the through
rates from Vancouver or Seattle
to AtHn on a number of cam mod i -
tioo taken from the Railway Ci m
pany's tariff which we liave before
us:
< Vmmwxlity Rate per Tim
Blacksmith coal $45.00
Canned goods 52.00
Canned milok and crram .. 48.00
Mining machinery 45.00
During the theatrical reason just
elided in New York a comic or)>era
entitled "Very Good Eddie" had a
successful run. We did no* see
the show, nor have we read a re
view ot it; but we can imagine An
