WINTER TRAIL A CERTAINTY

The doubting Thomases who keep insisting that the glacier trail Chsana Is not practicable kept busy conroverting all the good that keeps coming with reference with which expeditions are daily meeting their travels the glaciers from Mccarthy The Hazeet expedition has just completed another trip from Mccarthy the Chana and return and the members o the party enthusiastic the splendid trail that has been established and double enders daily going n and they have difficulty in drawing 1O0 pounds to the horse over the summit the grade gradual and not steep any one any doubt about the praccaby of the short winter trail of 9 miles from Mccarthy to the Chisana time that it dispeled.
 As was our experience with the trail it required several before that accepted the only practicable way of reaching the gold dggg have had to battle with public sentiment before the winter trail would be accepted It now however for every take it an accepted and quit expressing doubts question that has ceased to be uncertainty.
 It is up every citizen of Cordova and the Copper river country assist this newspaper spreading the facts the winter trail and to help bring to Cordova the hundreds possibly thousands of miners who will leave the this winter for the Chsana Nature has again favored making Cordova the gateway to what prove of the biggest placer camps in Alaska Let's take advantage of it.

A MATTER OF TERRITORIAL TAXES

Every occasionally there is echo from part of Alaska indicating that when Congress gave Alaska home rule bill 1t very much the form of lemon The action of the first territorial legislature Is often severely criticized little have been accomplished other than the evying of taxes Certain acts that might beneficial practically imperative because of the lack of funds out the And appropriations by the legislature means taxes the people, While present man required pay poll of $4 it expected that the next legislature will levy tax property The Fairbanks News Miner thinks the voters deserve the burden and calls the people of the Panama take their medicine follows:
 On town and creeks the poll tax collectors after you and should meet them half and hand them the you have paid poll this year, that does not affect the casethe first collection illegal but the present coec
 ton is according the ook of Hoyle turned by first legislature and therefore law made by yourself your personal agents
 For 20 years askans have cried for home rule Finally given them It costs money maintain territorial legislature and the people have pay it. It will every man in this town between the of 2 and 50 S to keep the territorial legislature working 50 days every two Is cents per day nhabtant for day work done by the territorial legislature is will cost that in poll tax there other ways in which will be assessed to keep the home rule game going It's worth it, pungle up
 1.-The poll tax collectors should start their work the right and not in the which has characterized the work of the poll collectors to date Every should his tax instead of putting the burden upon few. Every collector should first obtain list of the who voted at the last territorial election and they should be made to pay poll tax first their made the After they collected from all others should be collected
 The voters should be the first pay for they the who cause the imposition of the taxes.''

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-wn-

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-Wil- liam F. McCoombs, who just re- turned with his bride from abroad had conference this afternoon with President Wilson. Afterwards he said to the reporters that he be- lieved the Republican party would be the chief contender in 1916 against the Democrats for the presi- dency. He evidently does not attach much importance to the Progressive movement, which he stated was grad ually waning.
 SEATTLE, Nov. 22.-The plans for Seattle's Potlatch, which it had been decided to hold next May, may have to be changed. It was a closely debated question whether or not a Potlatch should be held next year, and the one thing that caused an affirmative decision was the fact that fleet of warships were to be at the navy yard next May This after noon the Potlatch management re- ceived letter from Secretary of the Navy Daniels who explained that previous arrangements had been changed and that it would be impos- sible to send the fleet here in May. AS no other time was suggested it is assumed that the fleet is not to be sent at any time next year, And again the question arises as to whether Seattle will have a Potlatch in 191A.

4l 5eGA taly Just where the blame for the disaster lies
 Charles II. Murray, flagman of the Bar Harbor express. still is in jail, following his formal arrest on a war rant issued by Coroner Mix, as a re- suit of the testimony taken by Mix in his secret inquiry. Augustus B. Miller the engineer of the White Mountain express, is out on bail and left his home early in order that he might be on time when called to tes- tify before Commissioner McChord.
 Coroner Mix declared he had taken the most important evidence, but the inquest still continues. It had been believed that Mix might make the hearing public in view of the fact that he had held Murray and Miller, but no one is admitted.
 As fast as Mix is through with the witnesses they will appear before Me Chord, where their story will be told in public.
 The death list had not been in creased as yet, but another 24 hours may add three more names to the list.
 When the interstate commerce com missioner got down to work with its investigation there were volumes of docum entary evidence on hand in the shape of blue prints and written re- ports of the movements of the two trains involved in the wreck. Measure ments have been made showing just the distance in which the White Mountain express might have stopped. and Flagman Murray will be called upon to explain just where he stood to flag Miller
 According to the evidence he has taken, Coroner Mix asserts that Mill Ter ran his train recklessly through the fog and that Murray did not go back as far as the rules provided to place torpedoes on the track and flag the White Mountain express.
