It will be nearly six months before it gets to shining on every side of the house again.

A han kering after sin was put into man for some purpose, and if not for curing the blues, what? Fresh air is essential.

THE CHANDLAR TRAIL.

The movement inaugurated ten days ago looking to the shortening and bet tering of the trail to Chandlar is dead There were so many opinions regarding the matter that even the committee ap- pointed to advance the project could not agree as to any of the essentials of the proposition.
 It was doubtless a surprise to many to learn that considerable number of residents do not faver an unusual travel through Rampant. It had not occurred to the Valley News to look at the mat ter in that light; but it freely acknowl- edges that those who so view it are enti- tied to their opinion and are not with out a good show of reason to sustain them They simply contend that the merchants had only the ordinary home market in view when they ordered their stocks. and that the average individual will be better off if lot of goods remain unsold than he will if the stocks are thor oughly cleaned up. That seems to the Valley News to be d rather nairo way to look at it-but it's logical all right.
 Then there are some who contend that people could not be induced to come by Rampant, no matter how many go to Chandlar. This paper does not share that opinion. Even under present con ditions it believes people from the lower Yukon and from the Panama valley would do we'll to come this way if they go to Chandlar at all-unless, indeed, !, a trail should be made from Fairbanks to the Yukon above Hamlin, when that would be the shorter route from the Panama.
 Some say there is not going to be much of stampede anyhow-and that may be so.
 In fact, there are about as many opin- ions as there are people. No matter what course one were to take he would find himself in d hopeless minority.
 One man was heard to say that no matter how favorable the reports from Chandlar no appreciable number will go from Fairbanks Asked upon what he based such cuuelu-ion, unconscious oi the hamnr iu hi- answef he -atl "weli, TIl tell you. they've gut such d hell oi g~.i camp over therr thsy
