Editor Optic:--With Jim clay as
conductor, Messrs. Bunker. Lucas,

back to Indiana, to the days when
as farmer boy green meadows and
fields Of golden grain were attrac-
tive.
In q b0asting vein remarked II

reply was: when boy rode to

ter means Of crossing the sapelio

AT the present crossing the quick
sand In the bottom of the river II d
great detriment and the hillside near
est Las Vegas Is steep and for heavy
loads almost impossible.
Two remedies are al hand: one.
bridge across the river. but this
wouldstfe too expensive: the other. a
new rad crossing the river lower
down where the banks are NOT so steep
and where the bottom Of the river is
solid This last means of betfering
the road would be inexpensive and
greatly facilitate trade with the Mora
valley. !.
The Importance Of this should be
brought 20 the attention OF the county
commissioners.
I suggest 4 committee Or The Com
mercial club TO press this matter con.
tinuously on the attention Of the
county commissioners until 4 better
crossing OF the Sapello Ii secured.

WILL STAY
Humboldt to Run Until
 End of Year

It is announced definitely that the Humboldt will be operated by the Pacific Coast Steamship Company anC will continue on the Skagway run until the end of the present year. This an nouucemeut was made to set at rest certain rumors that she is about tc become allied with one or another oi the new companies that are proposed for this route
 In spite of this announcement, how ever, stories persist in remaining in cjrcu' atjOu among those informed ln ,ransportation circles that new steam ship lines are planned for the South nastern Alaskan route. One of the plans iS for line to Tacoma, direct, without stopping at Seattle, and the other plan IS for another line of boats to Seattle. There is no doubt but that nego,iattous have been pending with the owners of the Humboldt to get that vessel to be one of the independent liners.
 The last Juneau Record-Mlner to ar rive lu $ agway contains the follow ing.
 Arrangements will be completed to- day tkas will settle one way or the other whether Juneau k to have an independent line of freight steamers or not. A representative of Seattle cap ital Aas been working very quietly amoug the leading shippers for the last few days for the purpose of closing enough contracts to insure the propos- ed line profitable amount Of freight business at very reduced rate. IL is said that enough merchants have agreed 10 Datronize the new company to make it 8 certainly, but the whole affair hus been conducted so secretly that few de- tails are available.
 However 1t is certain that the new uue will run from Seattle, and one of the two boats that will be put in service st the start will be an old timer in this section.
