 With the Lavelle Young, which was sent to the Kus- kokwim this season, that will make three N. N. boats to ply on the river next year.

GOVERNMENT TRAIL
 CLEARED 50 MILES

The new government wagon road is cleared for a distance of fifty miles nOrthWard toward the Chandlar from the town of Beaver. The grading will be comparatively easy, and the country through which the line passes is in every way admirably suited to road making. A survey party is working on the proposed line between Beaver and Fairbanks.
 These facts are gained from c. H. Blanchard, who arrived from Beaver on the steamer Herman.
 Ar. Blanchard is installing trading post at Beaver, and is in Tanana buying goods. The development of the country to the northward of Beaver will mean another great opportunity for the ex- tension of Tanana's trade.
