SNOW PLOW GOES ALL WAY ID
 WHITEHORSE

For the first time in the history Of the White Pass & Yukon route, one of the large rotary snow blows, with a crew of nine men, left this morning going all the way to Whie- horse. The severe weather this winter has caused a great deal of drifting of snow and in many cuts the snow has packed in, making it impossible for an engine to blow through.
 Heretofore what little snow has falIHn or drifted into cuts on the north end of the route has been cleared by the pick and shovel method, but a scarcity of labor thls year coupled with the extra severe weather, makes that method prac- ticalIy impossible.
 The snow blow will go clear thru to Whjtehorse today, returning to Skagway tomorrow.

TAD HILLERY
 E HOMESICk

Under date of January 10, Tad Hnlery. former citizen of Skagway and known by all the old timers writing to Dugan Barry from Dun- har, West Virginia, speaks of his homo sickness for Alaska. He re- ceives Alaska papers regularly and is much interested in all that is gc IL" on in Skagway.
 Tad sends his regards to all the railroad boys, and mentions in his lettr' in particular David Steven son whom he says has gone and done it.; he inquiries after Bob Shelly; wants to know how is Wilbur, Mark and Yinta; and to Os- car Selmer he says Hello"
 MT. Hillery has 9 very good job setting up Ford automobiles, but says he doesn't like the East and the people there.
 Ex-Governor Clark, of Alaska, runs a newspaper in Dunbar, and oth he and Mir. Hillery have many gooi times together. A clipping in which MT. Clark refers to Tad Hil- lerY follows:
 There is man in Charleston, employed in one of the factories, who knows what Robert P. Ser vice meant when he wrote the spell of the Yukon" The man in ques- tion used to be 8 trainman on the White Pass & Yukon railroad, the road 112 miles long that was built over the mountains north of Skag- war. Alaska, as soon as it could be put through after the Klondike gold stampede of 1896 and 1897.
 He is like thousands who have livea in the Yukon country - he feels the "spell" of that country, and be always has @ longing-per- haDs a secret one-to go back. Our friend who now lives In Charles ton reads all the newspapers he can get from the North and he doesn't lose interest in the great White North. He is like the thou sands of 0thers-no matter what they may have endured want to go back" J

PADDY SMITH
 GETS NEW JOB

Paddy smith has got 8 new job. He is going to leave Tacoma, where for many years he has been a ia m.liar figure on the waterfront. Having reached an age at which 8 bit of cold or dampness finds its way into his joints, he feels that the climate of Southern California will be more suitable to his years.
 Paddy, who is an employe of the Pacific Steamship Company, has been a longshoreman and watch man at Tacoma since he ceased to follow the sea, which is longer back than most people remember. Some twenty or more years ago, he taught the Srt of pushing a truck to an eager, red-headed boy of 14, who had started out to earn his liyeli- hood as q longshoreman. That boy was H. F. Alexander, who today is president of the Pacific Steamship Company.
 MT. Alexander has given orders that Paddy be transferred to Southern California port, where he may enjoy mild temperature for the rest of his days. The order went to A. F. Haines, Genreal Man ag of the Company at Seattle.
 "I have known Paddy ever since he pushed a truck alongside of MT. Alexander" said MT. Haines. "He s one of the old school of faithful emDlCyes. He has just bought $1O0COO Liberty Bond, and has other funds, put he wants to stay in harness. He has not & relative on earth, so we are sending him South"
