EVERY DAY FOR PAST WEEK
 HAS FURNISHED SUNSHINE

Whitehorse Star: Except ill the higher attitudes the snow is practically all gone in this part of the country, the warm sunshine of the past week having caused it to disaI pear very rapidly. Last Saturday was the first really warn day, and by evening the streets were covered with pools of water, where the day before there was sufficient snow for good sleddins. Since then the sun has shown ev- cry day and in many places the streets are already almost dry.
 White Pass stage are still leaving on runnefs, following the rivers as far as Little River road house, T distance of forty miles. 1t Is likely, however, that wheels will be used within a few days
 The ice on the river and Lake Le- Barge Is still good bu; not nearly SC thick as in former years. In fact, 1t is so thin that Supt. Cash will not risk the big caterpillar trac- tion on t hauling freight to Lower LeBar"e, but will use horse teams and the auto truck instead.
 It Is expected that both the river and lake will open unusually early this spring, possibly long be- fore there is sufficient water to enable steamers to get over the bars at the head of the lake as there is not the usual amount of snow in the hills and mountains to make high water.
