The Canadians understand the value of good roads in the mining regions. As soon as gold was dis covered in the region of the Klon- dike the Dominion government inn mediately began the construction of roads leading from Dawson to the camps. It now has 225 miles of thoroughly built roadways, over which the heaviest freighting is done. The results are indicat d by the fact that in 1902, when the Canadian Yukon miner could have four delivered to him at $S per 100 lbs, the American miner at Chick en creek had to pay $32. In the summer 1903, when the Canadian paid $7.5O for his -four, his Amer ican friend was paying SIS. The difference in the prices of ham and bacon in the two places was nearly 23 cents per pound. The price of condensed cream was doubled 10 the American; the same was true of onions, while the price of pota- toes was three times as great to the American. What is true of this district is equally true of the Cop per river valley, the Panama, the Koyukuk and other gold fields Record Miner.

"Ihe census man wont Into Alas ka and found all the hens. It was a hard job to find them, but not a bit hard to count the total; for there were only 116 fowls in all Alaska on June 1, 1900.
 A man could have put all the hens of that country into cart and carried them with ease. Their combined value was $166. But that little pocket edition of hennery with its little toy shop capital, pro- duced a total income in one year of $539-$360 for eggs and $179 for chickens.
 Eggs were high there. They averaged 43 cents per dozen. The chickens that were hatched and and sold averaged $1.01 each. It was nice little business, beating most banks in point of percentage of income"
 The foregoing is tip for some one who knows how to handle poultry. Valdez will consume all the eggs and chickens that can be produced by dozen chicken ranch es and will pay a good price. There is money in it for the right person.

They are confident that if the matter is properly presented to the attorney general he will see the justice of the request. But for the officious- ness of some of our distria' officials, this money could have been paid into the town treasury, where it belongs, and no protest would have been made by any one.
