There is every proba- bility that his successor will be named from the outside, as acceptable material seems to be lacking in this region.

The action of the Yukon coun cil in naming the sum of s22,- 300 for the construction and maintainance of ferries in the territory and also in making an appropriation for the improve ment of the Whitehorse Gar cross road and regulating the guage of vehicles indicates that an automobile road to Skagway is being looked forward to as a possibilit-aye, @ probability of the not far distant future. The spirit ot help the north is not confined to the United States government, but is found on the Canadian side as we'll as over the line. The days of highway brigandage in trans portation circles in the North are numbered. Their end is not quite here but it is coming as sure as summer is coming Whiteh horse Star.

BIG WASTE IN EGGS YEARLY

Washington Two hundred million dollars worth of eggs wasted every year! This is the startling estimate of the De- partment of Agriculture today after a careful investigation of this phase of the high cost of living. Of this vast amount,
 fifty million IS attributed to needless breakage in transit, and the remainder 10 bad handl-
 ing which causes adding, spoil
 ing and deterioration. Two
 hundred millions dollars worth of eggs practically thrown away a year-or else fit only for strong palates, for tanning, or to swell those unpleasant mon- "monts of American waste t garbage heaps. Uncle Sam i .'oing his level best just now to teach people how to secure more and better eggs, and how to properly pack, grade and
 candle them. The first task
 is undertaken through the bu- reau of animal industry, the
 second through demonstration
 cars sent into the. vast corn
 belt. Uncle Sam has decided
 that cold and cleanliness are
 best means to preserve eggs.
 Likewise he is putting i'll a
 boost for the little gray hen.

 her right, and she will repay"
