THE WHITE PASS
 WAGON ROAD

The question of a government built highway to the Summit of the White Pass to connect at the international boundary line with a Canadian highway to the interior has been advocated by the people of Skagway for a long while but with small hopes of success until a year ago when the change of ad- ministratiou took place, when it was again brought up and is now in a fair way to be put through.
 To the earnest and persistent efforts of Phil Abrahams of Skagway is due entirely the ad- yanced stage which the movement has now reached, for when Gov. Strong was here last summer MT. Abraham took the matter up with the Governor who assured him of his hearty cooperation and sup port.
 Later MT. Abraham had a con- versation along the same line with J. NJ. Ruffner of Atlin and that gen tleman, who was on his way East, said he would use every effort in his power to advance the project.
 When Ransom AIguire. the secre- tary of the Yukon Conservative As sociatiou at Whitehorse, who is al so heartily in favor of the scheme, w&s here the other day Mr. Abra- hams turned over to him, all the correspondence that had passed be- tween Governor Strong and him. self and lIr. Ruffner and himself in regard to it, and Mr. AiguiTe has since taken it up with MT. Thompson, the Yukon member of the Canadian parliament, who, at an early date, will bring it before that body asking for it's approval
 The last letter Mir. Abrahams- re ceived from Governor Strong is as follows:
 Juneau, Alaska, Mar lS, "A. Phil Abrahams, Esq,
 Skagway, Alaska.
 My Dear Phil:
 I beg to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 9th instant with reference to the proposed wa gon road between Skagway and the Summit. In reply l have to say that l am not familiar with what has been done toward securing an appropriation for this work, but 1t is perhaps needless for me to say that l wul aid it in every way possible. I believe that such a road should be built and it's con struction would be a boon not on- ly to the people of Skagway, but to thos of the Yukon interior as well. I shall at once take up the mat ter with Delegate WicEersham to the end that an effort may be made to secure an appropriation for the construction of the road.
 With best wishes, ! am,
 Sincerely yours,
 J. 2. A. Strong,
