Virginia, you couldn't move n

and hero we have been coming

having made 31 miles the first

Some yery unfair methods arc
being practiced by roadhouse men
lo divert trade and travel from
the Valdez trail, notably by Ihe
proprietor of the Willow Creek
roadhouse, who has not only
fenced I ho trail as a method of
deception, but has put up a large
r-anvass proclaiming that there is
five feet of snow on the Valdez
summit and that the road is im
partiable. Of course Ihe jfeoplc
r»f Valdez cannot help it if Ihe
roadhouse propriefor wisho to
make a liar out of himself and
to advertise the fact to the pub
