MILITARY ROAD TO YUKON.
Canada Is Building 1900 Mile Trail to
Back Door of Gold Region.

Edmonton, B. G. - An important
work that is being carried on by the
Dominion government in the Canadian
northwest, concerning which people in
general know but little, is the build
ing of military road from this city
to the Yukon territory. For two years
the construction has been under way
IL charge of the royal northwest
mounted police.
From Edmonton the road stretches
70 miles away to Fort st, John on the
Peace river, and then takes an almost
direct course over the Rocky noun.
tains for 200 miles to Fort Graham, in
British Columbia, and thence In a
northwesterly direction for 700 miles
more to Atlin. This long trail of 1000
miles lies through a region but little
civilized, and where nature at times
opposes her sterile barriers.
1t is not a wide road-only eight
feet-and at regular intervals Of 20
miles small log houses are erected
as hating places The principal work
so far has been from the eastern side
Of the Rocky mountains, and last fall
the construction party, under the com
mand Of Capt. Cannes, reached Fort
Graham, where they have wintered
This summer, another party of work
men, under Inspector Mcdonald Of
Whitehorse, will push the work from
Atlin until the two forces meet, which
they hope to do before winter.
And the purpose of 1t is because one
of Canadas richest treasure houses
the golden Klondike, lies cooped W
beyond the great mountains. The
two front doors to this country lie IL
the United States territory of Alaska
-one opening In from Skagway b!
means Of the White pass and YukoI
railway, the other further north, thu
estuary Of the Yukon river at st
Michael.
