Building Paper at Peoples. DO MORE IN FOUR YEARS THAN REPUBLICANS IN FORTY.

In an article recently published in the Indianapolis News, Leslie M Shaw, secretary of the treasury in the first Roosevelt cabinet, said:
 "I have no hesitancy in admitting g grave doubts whether the Republi- can party can, even If it should try, and also whether 1t ought to try to defeat the party now in power upon an issue of eXcoriatiOn be cause it has failed to accomplish in four years what we failed to do in forty years. If we have small and inadequate army and navy the Republican party is 80 per cent re- sponsible for it's inetticiency, for the Republican party has been in power 80 per cent of the last half century If our coast defenses are silly, I submit it does not lie in the mouth of the Republican party to say much about 1t. Let the next administration be business admin istration, and while preparing for peace let it also do what we all agree should be done-prepare for eventualities that may ensue.'

freight stored al Skagway referred to in the Dawson wire is believed to be a recently discharged cargo from one of the ocean going steam ships
 It has also been reported here that there is a shortage of wood ana river. The report is not denied at the local office. but Manager Fairborn asserts that the companys fuel agent is now on the river mak- ing contracts for wood for immedi- ate delivery. and that it will be used by the wood burning boats in bringing the freight from Tan ana to Fairbanks
 There will soon be three boats plying between Fairbanks and Tan ana alone, according to Mir. Fair born. They will be the Seattle No 3, the Panama and the Reliance The latter boat Is now on the Koyu- kuk river. but she is making her last run to the northern camp and will be put on the Fairbanks run as soon as she returns to Panama. And the Seattle No 3 has been brought up from St Michael par ticularly for freighting purposes on the Panama river The crew of the steamer Delta. which is to go on the ways at St Michael for re pairs, will handle the Seattle No. 3.
 In addition to the boats which will ply the Panama river alone, there will be the Alaska and the Yukon. They will handle all of the freight from the upper Yukon with the help of the Dawson, which as stated in the Whitchorse wire heading this article, will make one trip through to Fairbanks. The freight from the lower river will, of course. be handled by the Yu kon river packets Sarah and Susie

HANNA ARRIVES; ID LEAVE AGAIN
 THIS EVENING
A..Y. N. STEAMER IS IN PORT WITH ENGERS-sAILS
 AGAIN THIS EVENING.

The steamer Panama, of the A.-I. N. Co.,, arrived in Cinema yesterday afternoon about four o'clock, and landed her passengers there. The passengers were then brought up on the electric car as was the mail. The Panama had rather slow trip up from Gibbon, due to the fact that she was pushing two heavily loaded barges. These barges were loaded with the freight brought down from Dawson by the steamer Delta. which came only as far as Tanana, and then went on down river The Panama will probably not land in Fairbanks until late this morning, as the water in the slough is very low, and will not permit the barges to be brought up at the usual rate of speed. In fact, it is. doubtful if the Tanana will be able to get up here at all, although a small barge is being sent down to Leah bar, in hopes that some of the freight from the heavier barges may be loaded on it, and that the larger barges will then be able to get across the bar all right.
 The Panama is scheduled to leave tonight for Panama, connecting there with the steamer Yukon for Daw- son. She will then return with the Yukons passengers and freight.
 The arriving passenger list of the Panama was as follows,

Town Gossip and Stories

sex in Fairbanks extend him invita- tions that they never in the world would think of giving 10 others. A number of the young ladies of Fair banks went up the river for lit tie vacation trip last week, and hearing that the young man in question was also an expert on woodcraft and camping out. they invited him to come up and inspect their camp. Our hero naturally just grabbed up that invitation. and i'm mediately began to look about for means to get up the slough to the camping grounds Having natural aversion to walking, he decided to borrow motor boat and spin mei- rily up the slough. visit the girls give the camp the once over, and then hasten back to his work in this city.
 But. as the poet says. The best laid plans of mice and men gang aft aglee," and so 1t proved with launch all right and headed it up the slough in the general direction he wanted to go, and all seemed to be working fine until he got nearly up to the Independent mill Near the mill there is a boom stretching far out into the stream, and the amateur speed boat king headed his young ship for the far shore, to try to get around the outside of the boom To his dismay, when he got near the place where the river was open to navigation, it was too shallow to permit him to pass through He was now in a predca- ment, for fair However, the man who laid Nenana low was not to be daunted by mere mud bank, and the future Ty Cobb was equal boat up ways and then headed for the shallow place at full speed thinking to go over with a bump and speed merrily on his way. He went over with a bump, all right, but, sad to relate. there was a life sized log in the middle of the shal- low spot, and when the boat got over the bar it was minus about two thirds of itself and the young man found himself sputtering around in two feet of muddy Cinema slough water
 He reached shore in safety, being only trifle dampened, with ra- gard to both feelings and clothes interviewed as to future intentions with regard to gasoline boats, the young man said the only kind of boat he would trust himself in from now on would be one of these Ford mud scows

The above telegrams were re- ceived by this paper in response to queries sent concerning freight con ditions on the upper Yukon river The reason for the queries was that it had been reported here that there was an accumulation of 5000 tons of freight at Whitehorse for Fairbanks and other lower river points, and 1900 tons at Dawson. And that the report was incorrect cannot now be doubted
 The report first received here was enough to get several well known Fairbanks merchants going That is, some of them began to fear that their freight would be delayed in shipment so long that it would not get here this fall.
 But James A. Fairborn, local gation company, is authority for the statement that all of the freight will get here in due time. The delay, he says. is occasioned by the dock strike in Seattle, and the fact of the matter is that there Is a quantity of freight on the docks and in the warehouses in Seattle which was ordered last May and which never has been started north despite the fact that a report was received here some time ago to the effect that the Seattle docks were cleared of Fairbanks freight.
 Alex Simson brought the report of Seattle freight conditions to Fair ordered by Fairbanks merchants last spring reached Seattle all right, but that just about the time it should have been shipped north the long, shoremen's strike started and all of the spring freight was put away in the rear ends of the warehouses. Which accounts for the fact that freight ordered by Fairbanks mer- chants for spring delivery which should have been here some time ago is still in the back ends of the warehouses, while that which was ordered for July and August deliv- cry has already arrived here.
 Some of the merchants of Fair banks have blamed the American Yukon Navigation company for the delay in their freight transporta- tion, owing mostly to the fact that the report was received here con corning the enormous quantity of freight which was supposed to have been stored at Whitehorse and Daw- son The failure of the freight or dered last spring to arrive was also a basis for the kicks of the mer- chants
 It is now practically certain, how ever, that the failure of the freight to arrive here is not the fault of the American Yukon Navigation Go. The reports received by The Citizen from both Dawson and Whitehorse show that. For all of the freight which was stored at those places could be moved with two good sized barges such as any one steamer could transport with ease The
