of study and effort by the inventor.
The first attempts at perfecting a self

use possible. In England the inventor

carriage of unique design was con-

THE BIG PRESS.
This Issue Of the Record Was
Printed on II Cylinder Press,
by Gasoline En- Cine Po,cer.

Matters have been in a chaotic con-
dition in the Record Office this week.
AS stated in this paper some time
ago, the large and rapidly increasing
subscription lists OF the Record and
the Anzeiger made it absolutely nec-
essary that better press facilities
should be provided. A cylinder press
large enough to print two pages of
an eight-column newspaper, run by a
2!-horse-power gasoline engine, was
therefore purchased from the Z. 1.
johnson Manufacturing Company, Of
st. Paul. Press and engine weigh
$500 pounds. The machines arrived
ten days ago; but the expert who was
to come from the SANITY City to set
up the plant did not reach Linton un.
til Wednesday afternoon. The chang
ing Of presses made it impossible to
print the paper on time. This issue
is printed on the big press. We are
now able to do in less than an hour
press work that formerly took six
times as long, and the large supply Of
elbow grease necessary by the old
method Is not required.

the Sore Man has no real objection to
the small charge made. He thinks
that he can stir up little prejudice
against the old man and his friends.
AS to Wescott renting the race track
forspite work, it is probable that those
who were swindled by the fake race
at the picnic last summer will agree
that it is a good thing that the swim
dler will have no more chance to put
up such jobs. II Wescott had gotten

CONDITIONS CHANGE

The end of Yukon navigation does not mean so much to those at Dawson and other points on the Yukon river as it did before the winter stage service was perfected. For several years there was A time between the close of naviga- tion and the breaking of thc winter trail that communication between Whitehorse and Dawson was almost impossible. The duration of this period varied. Some seasons it continued for A month or six weeks. Now the stages begin moving before the navigation ot the river closes, and passengers and mail go and come with almost as little delay as is experienced in the summer time.
 For the improvement Of trausporta- tion facilities in the north much credit is due the Canadian goverumcdt and the W. r. x Y. R. The government has provided good roads and the rail- road people have done the rest. To provide an adequate mail service and convenient means of travel is Co do the people a service the value Of which cannot we'll be Overestimated. This has been done for those of the upper Yukon. A trip from or to Dawson !n the winter time is only question ot a comfortable sleigh ride of a lew days duration.

The taxpayers and the citizens or Skagway are not alarmed but that the municipal water system will be honest ly operated in a capable and business like manner. The city council that could meet the emergency that con- frouted the city last spring, when it was threatened with failure or the water supply and a 300 per cent. in- crease in the cost of fire protection, without any guarantee to protect in the manner that those who now serve the city did, and in one short season give the people such a water system as that now owned by the city of Skag- way, is certainly capable of meeting any condition that iS likely 10 arise m the operation of the plant, The people understand this and they are willing to depend upon the good judgement and the integrity of the council ItdiiIer- ences of opinion arise they are honest differences and they will adjust them selves as matters shall be worked out,
