GREAT NEED FOR A ROAD
 UP STIKINE
Robert Hyland Says
 That Such aHighway
 Would Create a New
 Future for Wrangell.


 is the natural outlet for our Hade," said Robert Hyland oi Telegraph Creek. in discussing the situation recently. 'The people of Telegraph will welcome any move made toward a river road such an improvement would create new future for Wrangell as we'll as the up-river country.
 We desire a more expedient method of portation from Oo~ tober to Jane of each year. Nine months of meagre service of dog team from the interior cannot be compared with a winter route par allel with the Stikine,- such as we are now contemplating. Co-opera~ ton with the citizens of Wrangell would be highly advantageous to such an enterprise.
 We received mail twice monthly last winter and in that respect the overland service was satisfactory, but the progressive people in this region realize that the way out is do7oN yi7'fr and not afr0SS foUnti.y. The present system carries out first class mail and few necessities from below by steamers to Skag- way, over the W hite Horse Road to Carcross and eventually to Atlin, from whence teams are dispatched. The outgoing load is limited and we must hold quantities of skins until the early boats arrive from Wran- gell. As all traders know, spring ratings on these products are much lower than those made in the fall and winter, thus the best of of these haryests cannot be con- verted into cash at the right season and it is when this condition occurs and re-occurs that we find ourselves united on the question of road via the Stlkine, where through Wran- gell we may get a square deal-
 "As far as summer transrorta- tion is concerned," MT. Calbreath interrupted warmly, we are en- toying excellent service,-and let me add that it is thoroughly appre- ciated. Now that we have an eff cient man on the Stikine our great aim is to keep him busy. The Hazel B. Fl has broken all known gas-boat time records and her prog ress on this river has caused wide. spread amazement among qualified river-men.
 Common sense dictates that th $ reliable power-boat should handle our first mail and in all perishable freight. then why not turn over the remainder of the business to a de- pendable craft that is operated to promote our interests1"
 ''Furs", continued Mr. Hyland are the immediate source of re- venue in this district. but n,ines stand back of pioneer investment here. We want to ship our fuEs." Perhaps those last Six words could be accepted as the "Up-River" slogan, And we want to ship them when the prices are right and tempting".
 But fur trade alones phenomenal and fascinating as it is, s,cannot bring about the growth in this country that the mines insure. The present valuation of copper and iron, to say nothing of the golden and silver treasure that these hills conceal !, may at any future time secure atten- ton from outside capital.
 Meantime the road question should t,e agitated. Opposition from Atlin may be expected but the people of Telegraph Creek are most anxious to establish winter

When the Railroad Came.

In Thomas Bailey Aldrich's reminis- cent account of his birthplace. An Old Town by the Sea-" he remarks that the hrst train over the Eastern railroad from Boston to Portsmouth ran over and killad-local character" Till then Portsmouth had been a happily se- ciuded community, with the courage of It's seclusion. To many of its inhab- itants, content in their isolation, Bos. ion was thousands of miles distant f
 effect. although only 56 miles away by geographic measurement. Their Ports mouth was the center of their earth. and the invasion of railroad with its daily trains brought within their bor- ders undesirable stir and hustle and unweleome visitors. The entrance of the railroad train was in fact the be- ginning of new era for Portsmouth, as it has been for many another place."

Neoatlon.

In negation-in complete and univer- sal negation-there is no salvation to be found. Deny everything and you will easily pass for a men of ability; it's a well-known trick. Simple heart ed people are quite ready to conclude that you are worth more than what you deny. And that's oi en an error. In the first place. you can pick holes in anything: and secondly, even if you are right in what you say. its worse for you; your intellect. directed by simple negation, grows coiorless and withers up. While you gratify your vanity, you are deprived of the true cancellations of thought; iife-the es- sence of life-evades your petty and Jaundiced criticism, and you end by scolding and becoming ridiculous. On ly one who loves has the right to cen sure and find fault.-ohic State Jour. nal

 IN NEW YORK
(By United Press)

NEW YORK, June 4. - America 8 heaviest blow at alien enemies in New York fell yesterday when the United States marshal's order forbidding Ger mans to enter 20 barred zones around armories and naval militia stations in this city became effective. Between 15,000 and 10000 males over fl years of age are hit, it is estimated. The zones are of half mile radius.
 Hundreds of permits were issued to Germans who had lived for years in the prohibited districts, and bore good regulations, to persons employed there who could get forceful recommends tions from their employers - and to those who faced ruin if unable to enter the zones to conduct their business.
 Those who obtained special permis- sion to continue living in the districts cannot be visited by German friends, as no permits were granted flor so- cial purposes" The forbidden areas in some instances took in German clubs. restaurants and hotels. Under the rule, enemy aliens can pass through the zones on public convey ances. but cannot alight en route. Germans without permits caught in the barred districts will be interned.
