where "A mile of construction has cost

There is a steel bridge hanked by

one of the most serious phases OF
Alaskan survey work is the problem
Of transportation. AS Mr.. Riggs says.
There is food to be carried for the
party, which is big item, and oats
for the horses, At some time during
the life of the Alaskan boundary sur
vey every known form of transporta-
ton in the north was used. In sum
mer we have been known to adopt the
Indian practice and pack dog, one
year. at the close of the season, prac-
tiCally all our horses had died, and
we journeyed' down the White River
for distance of hundred and ninety
miles IN RATS.
Early one May start was made
from Whtehorse, first over so-caled
wagon road where the six horse
wagons were frequently begged or up
set. and then after even that SEM
blance of "A road had disappeared the
fifty horses constituting our pack
train were loaded with the camp out
fit and supplies. Rivers and lakes
were crossed at great risk on the rot
ten ice. Seventeen days out from
Whitehorse the party crossed the last
remaining ice bridge on the White
River, and this was hardly accom-
plished ere the gorge broke through
with a report like that of hundred
cannon and went swirling away in the
swollen waters of that stream"
In running survey lines in that far
away region, Mr.. Riggs says, "Rivers
filled with dangerous quicksa nds have
to he crossed, mountains scaled at the
risk of life and limb. and then comes
the drudgery Of or Ssing the bottom-
less swamps Of the low lying lands.
Horses mire down one after another
and lie there with their heavy packs
mutcly gazing at the worn out packer,
who after cXhausting every known

The taking of Naco will be in mo- ton pictures lt is understood they have been visWlized for the Pathe Company's Weekly The pictures were staged yesterday in Naco. The taking of the picture has aroused consider able resentment, on the part of the Maytorena adherents, located in Naco.
 Consul Perez, in speaking of the matter, yesterday was particularly em- phatic about the matter
 You appreciate, said the Conyen- tionalist Consul, That it is rather a hard matter to speak of, but under the circumstances l win give my opinion.
 Motion pictures are a farce as they always appear like the rainbow, after the storm. They never show, as in this case, the real things as they hap pen. It is merely a question of money for the motion picture people and the acquiscence of the actors
 But besides being a farce, l must tell you that should we take town with upwards of three hundred men and had met the resistance Of only twenty defenders we would be asham- ed to make a show of it,
