SBORGIA SAYS NEW ROUTE
is KANTISHNA SHORTCUT

New and newer trails to the Kan
tishna are the order of the day. The
Alaska Road Commission has given
two routes prominence by centering
attention upon them for possible
wagon road construction; the resi-
dents of Nenan and oldtimers of the
Kantishna have done Considerable
work and mushing on a third, and
now comes William Sborgia with
the announcement that he knows
of still another route which is best
of all. Sborgia arrived in town on
Thursday from the Kantishna and
left on the return trip to the camp
this morning, it being his intention
to travel in by way of what he con-
siders the shortest route between the
diggings and the railroad.
Sborgia came out by way of the
Riley Highway Pass route, with a
number of shortcuts. and covered
the distance to the railroad in II
hours. Returning. he will travel
from the railroad to Steel cabin,
about 20 miles, thence to Big creek,
three miles, then drop into the East
Fork of the Toklat and across to
a cabin about a quarter of a mile
to the right. From there he will
go to the Sheldon cabin, we'll known
to oldtimers, thence across to the
mouth of Boundary creek, up that
stream two miles, thence to the
right and down to the North Fork
of Moose creek and into the dig
gings. This route. he says, has easy
grades. is we'll timbered and avoids
the Objectionable Thoroughfare pass.
Sborgia predicts that there will be
a lot of work done in the Kantish-
ma this season-more than ever has
been done before, and he is enthus-
iastic over the outlook for the
future of the district.

CLIMATIC CONDITIONS

We are not prepared, from personal
observation or from the blue print of
the engineer upon the residency, to
state off-hand, just how much work
was accomplished by the velvet-hand-
ed sons of toll who went forth, bright
and early, yesterday morning to con-
vert chaos into a roadway and to de-
plete the lunch baskets OF the good
ladies' who went along to see that the
cravings Of the inner man should be
catered to as the hands of the clock
approached the hour Of high noon.
We will state, however, that the
able and talented pervaricator who was
assigned to interview the hard-working
knights Of the electric fan, authorized
the statement that a careful checking
over failed to manifest numerous blood
bhsters or abraisons upon the hands
which were supposed to grasp the mum.

He did turn in a statement, deleted
by this department by the managing
editor, who is a great lover Of veracity,
in which Jim Barron, the Woodworking
secretary Of the Ardmore Chamber of
Commerce, is alleged to have intimated
that any automobile could pass safely
over the newly worked road to Turner
Falls. provided it was equipped with
flying attachments and modern safety
appliances.

affirms, has carried his notes off into |

leisure, figure out just how many

should be accomplished per gallon of

or course the rain coming as 1t did,
most opportunely, offords a good ex-
cuse and reason why more tangible

the days labor.
In the meanwhile many who here
tofore entertaiped the opinion that the
famous dollar-a-day was enough for
any laboring man, now affirm that
the fellow who swings the shovel and

thing under s25 per hour.

without restrictions.
Why, man alive, should this be
done there would be such a gladsome

mortal mind is powerless to conceive
of the joys possible. Thousands and
thousands and thousands of men could
return to their homes with the coming
of the small hours Of the morning, and

PERSONALITIES OR
COMMON SENSE?

It has been truly said that lawyer
and the courts Of the present day
are prone to pay too much attention
TO technicahties to the elimination O
common sense.
One of the judges of the first su
preme court in the state Of Missouri, il
one Of the first cases adjudicated after
statehood. away back yonder almost
a century ago, held that a misspelled
word, or a word which while not found
in the dictionary, yet was an English
word, and part of our language made
such from usage, established a prece-
dent which the courts of this day
would do we'll to follow.
This particular case was a criminal
proceeding in which the defendant,
after having been convicted and GEN.
fenced to the penitentiary, sought re-
versal because one word used in the
indictment returned against him, was
not an English word, was not, in fact,
a word at all
Judge Thompson OF the Missouri
supreme court at that early day, in his
opinion sustaining the finding OF the
lower court held that the word used
in the indictment, was one OF meaning,
that its meaning was obvious that 1t
was kept out Of the dictionaries
through the natural modesty OF the
lexicographers who would not prosti-
tute their works through printing
names the definitions Of which were
either immodest or indecent.
A few days ago Texas Judge in
structed the county attorney to enter
nolle pros in burglary case be-
cause he had, in drawing the inforna-
ton, used the abbreviation Mich" in
place Of the abbreviation Mar" for
the month OF March. The defendant
was not, however, released from Gus.
tody, or his bondsmen exonerated, but
was held pending the filing of a new
information in which the letters Mar"
should appear, and not the letters
Mich"
This, 1t seems to US, is clear-case
OF splitting hairs while the hoodwinked
goddess sheds tears over the foolish-
ness Of the delay, and sheathes her
sword that It may rust in its scabbard
while judges pour through dus,-en-
crusted volumes OF forgotten legal
lore, in an effort to determine II

An addict will pay 81 or any other sum
he can get hold Of for only dust of it.
The narcotic peddlers seem to be
getting their products from Mexico. One
OF the men arrested in this city last
month had Mexican passport.
The profits in whisky and drugs are
so inviting that many men have left
their business and have gone to the
border for the purpose of dealing in
these commodities which are brought
over from Mexico.
Persons who have been in Mexico re-
Gently say that with Il few dollars you
can exercise almost any power in that
country. The Mexicans are looking for
tips and if the money comes in tips
one can do about as he pleases and the
chances are that the officials along the
river are paid for the privilege of bring
ing the drug across.

In police court the last month there

St Peter, were he to stop a Judge

that judge ever draws near those

because he might chance to have his

Speaking seriously, there is far too
much proneness upon the parts of the
learned gentlemen on the bench, to
delve into techncalities, blocking
thereby, the wheels of the chariot of
justice with opinions heavily freighted
