Editor White of the Whitehorse Star, like all newspaper men, is a booster for progress and develop ment. lie says that with proper roads it ought to take but three days to come from Dawson to his city. This is the way he has it fig ured:
 The record-breaking run made by the White Pass automobile last Friday, from Carmacks to White horse. a distance of one hundred an thirty-two miles in eleven hours, is proof Of what could be done with a good trail While the distance coy cred averaged only twelve miles per hour, it was fully twice as fast as a horse stage could have made 1t at this season Of the year and, with the road in proper condition, the auto would cover twenty miles as easily as twelve per hour. Even with but little improvement on the trail. an automobile should go from here Go Yukon Crossing, half way .to Dawson, in one day, where at this season of the year, three days are required by the stage to cover the same distance Owing tO the fact that there are three rivers to cross on the north half of the trail, it is not claimed that as good time can be made by autos on that end, but even at that and allowing one days delay for crossing rivers, with good roads and an auto service, the trip from here to Dawson should re- quire but three days, a saving of from four Co five days on the trip at this season of the year It is to be sincerely hoped Road Engineer Miller of the public works depart ment, wh1 examined the route last summer, will report fayorably on the expenditure of the S5O,OOO al- ready designated for the overland trail. Dr. Thompson, NJ F., is fa- vorable to the appropriation, he be- ing behind the movement, and it is confidently believed that by next year the trials and tribulations of a trip overland between here and Dawson will exist only in memory.

The daily Alaskan., 1912-11-09

From newspaper reports in var ious parts ot the Territory visited by the Alaska Railroad Commission, which is in Skagway today, We are inclined to feel somewhat iucourag- ed that this time there is a sincere attempt being made by federal commission to get at some sort of an understanding of the needs of Alaska. and We cant help putting a little stress on the term this time, " for many Aaskaus feel that some of the juuketfng commissions, which nave visited us for the past fifteen years. were not altogether absorbed in an earnest desire to accomplish much beyond approving the admin isJratjous policy.
 But in looking over the work Of the present commission, We find hat in the space of a few weeks cy have mushed through the mud have travelled by an known, many tmprovised, kinds of ve- 70 arrive at the points they Go see. They have covered

Wih the trials in the commis- siouers court in Haines recently of several persons charged with sell ing or supplying Indians with liquor again com,s up the question of veracity between white and Indian testimony In jury trial it is al- most impossible to convict a white man urca unsupported Indian testi- mony. and on general principles the ends or justice are not always serv- ed by accepting the unsupported testimony of the Natives.
 The history of the races Of man kind shows couclusiyely that bar barrie tribes are uotoriousIy uutruth- fuI. and those who are just emerg- ing into a condition of civilization can not possibly have arrived at a state Of moral reciyude on an equal ity with thc centuries old civiliza- uons of the Caucasiaus. The h. diau's sense of truth is as unde- yeIoped as his sense of humor or gratitude After thousands Of years Of scienc nd religion, there is not one white man in a thousand who is absolutely truthful, and the ratio of uutruthfuIness increases in proportion as We go down in the scale of human development.
 Therefore 1t may be reasonably argued that the es.imony of an In dian or any other uudeveIoped race, ought not be received on an equal ity with a white man. A whiskey drinking Indian will not hesitate to perjure himself for the sake of a few dollars witness fees. It has been done many times, and in some communities the practice has been aided and abetted by the police of fcers who are as anxious for fees as are Indian.

Conferees Make Report on Borab
Homestead Bill. Looks
Very Favorable.

Last Saturday the conferees
on the three year homestead bill!
reached favorable agreement
and their report endorses the
new bill as it passed the house
providing for reduction of the
residence period from five tc
to three years; permitting the
entrynan to BE absent five
months in each year after he has
established residence and allow.
ing in case of sickness or climatic
reason twelve months after date
OF filing in which to commence
constructive residence. One OF
the most favorable received a.
merdments by the committee
was the required amount of cul-
tivation under the new law.
This amendment requires the en-
tryman to cultivate one-sixteenth
part of the entry commencing
with the second year cf residence
and one-eight commencing with
the third year. This amendment
applys to the enlarged homestead
act. The secretary of the inter-
ior is given authority to further
reduce the cultivation require
ment in individual cases where
if good faith by the entryman
has been shown. The bill as it
has now been agreed upon, it is
expected will have the support
of Secretary Fischer and that
it will meet with. favor. at the
hands Of President Taft.

The complaint filed alleges that
the special election was irregular
and illegal, giving as their reas-

received no election supplies that
many legal voters were deprived
of their right to vote by the es-

cincts where no judges or clerks
had been appointed.

Mast Pay For Papers

We cite herewith an interesting court
case regarding delinquent subscription:
During the last term Of the circuit
court Of Atchison county, Missouri, the
case of F. H. Staple vs.. Chas. Traub
was tried. The suit was brought on a
long standing account and among other
items was l6 years subscription for the
Atchison County Mail. Mr.. Traub re-
fused to pay for the Mail, claiming
that he refused to take the paper from
the postoffice and mail box several
times. The plaintiff proved by post
masters, deputy postmasters and 9TH
ers that Mr.. Traub did take tho paper
during all the is years. In the ease it
was shown that, according to law, even
if q subscriber does occasionally order
q newspaper discontinued, or refuse to
accept it, he cannot get out of paying
what he owes for the paper and the
subscriber must pay the arrearage be-
fore stopping the paper.
The jury in this case was out only q
short time and brought in q verdict for
the entire account. including the sub
scription for the Mail-l6 year at $3.50
a year ,or $24. The costs in the Justice
court amounted TO about, 500. besides

The fight this year for the control of
the executive head of governmental the
state. is a continuance of the rivalry
between the old machine and the ele-
ment that has been seeking to clean out
of the state institutions, the grating
system with which they had been honey
combed for so long a period. Six years
ago the people rose up in revolt to the
further domination pointments of the
members of the result elected a COVER
nor who a and has since been wise
in his appointments of the members Of
the various institution boards. In adj
dition to making the appointments,
Governor Burke has insisted that these
institutions be conducted on as ono
ical a basis, as their best interests would
permit. As a result, no n of the new
states in the nation has the advance
ment in executive control, discipline and
equipment of its institutions, that North
Dakota has made in the last six years.
There will probably be an organized eff
fort to make the people believe the old
Mckenzie bill out of politics, for good,
yet they will seek to capture the COVER
norship and the appointive power, to
re-instate themselves at the public crib.
Are the people so shortsighted as to be
lulled to sleep and permit the return of
Tommy Poole and others of the same
bunch to the offices that have been
cleaned out? The Search-Light hopes
and believes that the people have been
so satisfied with the change, that they
will be 10th to go back to the old re-
gime. Search-Light.
