the best known small town paper in
the country. His "Globe Sights were

How the Mails Are Carried From
White Horse 10 Dawson.

White Horse is at the head of nayi-
CATION on the Yukon river. or more
properly the Fifty Mile, a tributary
and headwater of the Yukon, and is
the northern terminus of the White
Pass and Yukon railway. 1t is the
transfer point from rail to river serv-
ice of the White Pass and Yukon rail-
way. which service extends about $50
miles, from Skagway, Alaska. to Daw-
son. Yukon territory. Its population
in summer is about 1900 and in win
ter $50.
The season of open navigation ex-
tends from June 5 to Oct. 10. During
winter the White Pass and Yukon
railway maintains a stage service be.
tween White Horse and Dawson, han
ding first class mail and papers and
magazines in single wrappers, but no
merchandise mail. There is rail way
service between White Horse and
Skagway daily except Sundays. On
the river division the service is such
as facilities will permit, about four
boats a week. At close Of navigation
the stage service commences, using
wheels until sleighing is practicable,
about Nov. Is. There is a weekly serv.
ice while the wheeling lasts, then a
triweekly service by sleighs. The run
to Dawson, 1925 miles, on wheels is
made in six days, on sleighs in five
days. The Canadian government has
constructed a wagon road between
White Horse and Dawson which is 1875
miles shorter than the river distance.
The business support of White Horse
Is largely from transient travel and the
employment Of a large number of men
by the White Pass and Yukon railway
and other concerns. 1t Is also a sup

The permanent feature will be in
the form of a monument to be erected

has already made an appropriation of
$25O,OOO. The dedication ceremonies
OF this memorial may be one of the
leading features of the celebration.
From present plans the Perry monu-
ment will be n Of the most novel
e erected, being a combination Of
the artistic with unitarian features.
For instance, the monument itself
will doubtless be an immense shaft Of
granite, and tentative architectural
provisions have been made in the base
for assembly halls and Offices.
Again. the position Of the monument,
near Sandusky. O., is SO commanding
that it can serve as a lighthouse as
we'll. The wireless telegraph, of
course. will be an adjunct of the light
house. and provision can easily be
made for an observatory without
marring its architectural beauty.
