Congress must appropriate for the

TRIP INTO THE
 ATLIN COUNTRY

Carcross, Y. T., June 8, 1913.
 A number of travellers arrived in town today after making the trip to Atlin on the first run for the season of the "Gleaner. All were enthusiastic over the delightful trip through the far-famed lakes of Tagish and Atlin. They were prepared for that, but they were more than surprised and delighted to find the up-to-date town of At lin, handsome and vigorous, ris- ing from the ashes of the recent fire. No town could ask a finer location for a townsite, and the citi- zens take pride in their gardens and lawns.
 That is only one side of Atlin. There are first class, well-kept up roads six miles to Discovery, Spruce creek placers, also those of Me Kee creek and O'Donnell river. In fact, the good roads have en- couraged local men to import autos and auto trucks so that travellers can do buSness at the fartheSt points at a minimum loss of time and expense. The year 1914 was very successful cleanup on the creeks. The year 1915 promises better, and if DO further discoveries are made for 50 years the creeks nave in sight material for active work for tha. period from mines al ready located. But there is a stam- pede now to Wilson creek, and there is no saying what may be in the future for the UproSpeCted dis tricts lying all about. On the re turn trip the travellers had for companion that genial old timer, Mr. Hugh MolynAauX, who has been the governments surerintendeut of roads in this distTct for thirteen years. Ills work takes nm rom the northern boundary south as far as Rainy Hollow, and east to Tes- lin lake. He knows all the cid timers, the strikes" the his tory of AtI:n from it's boom days down, besides the glaciers, peaks and tribes of Indians oYerA this vast stamping ground. We piled him with questions freely and got many a good story of the old days, besides valuable information cn the advantage offered by this district to a new generation.
 The whole trip-the accomoda- tions in boats and hotels--and the meeting with 5be people generally, will repay any visitor who makes the trip to A.l'n.

EDITORIAL P AGE
AMERICANS IN THE DOMINION

Two stories recently circulated in ths northwestern states with rela- ticl to the status of people from the United States who are in Can ada have been promptly and en- phetically discredited by the Domin- ion government. The first had 1t tha- the application of too strln- gem regulations to strangers was making travel in the northern coun- try unpleasant for citizens ofthe na- ton to the south; the other that the Dominion government proposed to impose a war tax of $500 on homesteads in the prairie provinces With regard to the former, as the Canadian minister of the interior points out, owing to the immense trade carried on between the two countries, there is of necessity a constant iutermingling of the com .nsrciaI travellers and of business men generally of both countries on both sides os the line. People on the border think no more of crossin .he international boundary than the do of crossing from one state or from one province into another. Am sricans and Canadians are indls- tinguishabl' in Prescott or Ogdens- lurg, Windsor or Detroit, Vancouver or Seattle. Americans may be found engaged in Canadian activity; Can adians may he found engaged in every American activity. They have a common language; in tastes, habits, customs, aspirations and ideals, they differ only as individual natives differ in either country.
 Moreover, American pleasure travellers are constantly running in t0 and out Of Canada; some of the main railway connections between the American East and American West are made through Canada. NuItituIes of Americans have set tied in Canada in the last ten years, and these are not confined alto gether to the western provinces. Ac- cordinc to the minister already re ferred to, SO,O0O American settlers have arrived in Canada and taken uu homes there since the outbreak of the war.
 There is just about as much gov ernmeutal interference with the in Giyidual freedom of Americans in Canada. as they have to contend with in their own country, and just as little. Citizens ot the United States, even in these disturbed times are not asked to go to the trouble or expense of procuring passports. Their good conduct insures them courteous treatment from officials.
 Denial of the homestead tax story was hardly necessary. It will not influence unfavorably any in tending settler intelligent enough to be desirable. Canada is in great need of increased revenues, and it is reaching out for them in all di- rections, but it Is placing no bur den on the man who IS helping to turn the western wilderness into a garden.
