Airplane For ProspectOrs
(DaWSOn News


 Reports come from the outside that certain min ing districts are arranging for daily airpane mail service in connection with the larger cities. Daily newspaper deliveries and service also are to be given Some the mining communities, in fact, already have the service.
 Yukon is country with few convenlences ana vast distances compared to mining camps of the midland belt of the continent. If there is coun- try deserving the and more flexible means of local communication, it is such this which is but sparsey provided with the older service. The rugged nature this country means great outlay of cash and devotion of many days in travel by the prospecor when using the old system in remote localities in keeping in touch with his supply centers These facts are known all too well to the miners prospectors who struggling far the Forty m:Ie the Stewart the Pelly the Hootalinqua, the Porcupne, the White and in the far Kluane and other isolated localities.
 Most of the development depends on the men in those farthest camps. Most encouragement there fore should given them. If they find mail facili- ties poor and the and difficulties of delivery depart and then the whole country is retarded.
 Portions the nation already provided with quick and constant delivery of mails and supplies complain if these essential outlying districts ask for first consideration on the newer services which are so adaptable these regions.
 It requires weeks and months for q miner prospector to make trip to take out supplies by polling boat in summer or with dog teams in winter. Airplanes could deliver the goods within few hours and quicken the de- yelopment by the frequent service.
 Yukon should keep up her agitation for the air plane service only for mining but also for police and other purposes. Only by constant recommenda- tion will the central government become convlnceC Yukon is right and entitled to such service

INCONSISTENCY OF SENATOR KNOX

The New York Evening Post, owned by Re publican by the way, is after Senator Knox and his efforts at leadership with sharp stick. It charges him with lack of good faith in his opposition to the peace treaty, alleging that he is seeking something with which find fault rather than searching for the good and bad in the treaty. It particularly stresses the circumstance that in his great speech, Senator Knox characterized the treaty unduy cruel and harsh to Germany. and then asked the Senate to reject it because it carries spells for United States It he only pretends to occu- py high ethical grounds and it by his words
 Those who claim the treaty is too harsh and cruel to Germany and the time oppose the League of Nations Covenant are not consistent. If it were not for the peace security offered by the League of Nations it would have been necessary to have made the peace terms much harsh. France would have insisted on more land, more money and

A Weeks Outing On the Stickine
(Wrangell Sentinel)

(Wrangell SentineD
 The Sentinel family spent last week on the Stick inc in company with Captain K. Johansen who is fishing the river. It is doubtful if there is other stream the American continent that is the equal of the Stickine in scenic grandeur. Some day the scenery of the Stickine will be capitalized the the lakes of Italy the mountains of Switz- erland. The time is to when trip up the Stfckine will be advertised throughout the Unit ed States and Canada the most scenic river the continent. And it would require much adver- Using to put the Stickne the map because every person who makes the trip to Telegraph Creek be- comes enthusiastic booster for the Stickine. The party of Eastern people who went into the Casiar two weeks all people who had decided to make the trip after talking with w. N. Beach of New York and others who in the CaSsiar last year.
 There many delightful places along the river which ideal for camping. There is little left to be desired for outing which affords hunting, fishing mountain climbing boating all in the health ful atmosphere of mountain stream. And does the genial purser the Hazel B. has tossed him bundle containing mail from the latest steamer from Seattle.
 We Wrangel people have gotten into the habit of speaking of the ''soughs along the Sckne. Anyone coming from east of the Mississippi is apt to think of ''slough' being stretch of deep mud or mire to be avoided, but many of the so- called ''sloughs along the Stckine are quiet little inets where the water is as smooth glass; and clear to make the reflections of and mountains bewildering in their beauty. It is these soughs' that make boat "egg beater'' indispensable for outing the Stickine
 We have mentioned only the scenic grandeur of he Stickine, but the Stickine of the future will be something than scenic route. There thousands of of the most fertile land along the river valley where later many happy lomes will be located.

SALT RIVER VALLEY
 HAD CLOSE CLAIM
 ON MR. ROOSEVELT

There are few sections of the coun try where the death of Colonel Theo- dore Roosevelt will be more sincerely mourned than the Salt River valley, which had long claimed him as it's firm friend whose friendship was shown in a variety of ways. The attention of Mr. Roosevelt was first attracted to this valley by the effort of representa- tiN-es from the city and valley in be- half of the passage of the reclamation act soon after he entered upon his office as president.
 He became at once interested, and, perhaps but for his insistence, the act would not have been passed at that time. He did not lose interest in the valley with the mere enactment of that law. He rendered assistance when ever needed to give effect to it that tho people might have the benefit of it. Nothing they needed was denied them in his administration.
 He was knit more closely to the val ley by the residence of his son. Archie at Dr. Evans school near Mesa for sometime He was a frequent visitor after his retirement from the presi- dency and the affection Of the people for him was evidenced by such out pouringS as greeted no other visitor MT. Roosevelt last was here in adVO- cacy of the election of Mir. Hughes in 1918.
 Ar. Roosevelt loved the whole west. He had lived in it and knew it. He was earlier bound to Arizona by the con tingent of Rough Riders which joined his command. and friendships were then formed that were lifelong. Moth ing thereafter was too good for Ari- zona.
