For Yukon Navigation.
(Dawson News. )


 The resolution adopted by unanimous vote by the Yukon Council last week recommending to the Fed eral Government the building of dam across the headwaters of the Yukon River above Lake Laberge deserves the serious consideration of the authorities at Ottawa The matter is of than Territorial If navigation be facilitated in this Terri tory it will hasten the development of this Ter ritory in which every form of industry in Canada finds a market It has been claimed that it requires dollar produce every dollar in gold recovered from tn ground the world over. Whether such be true not, Yukon with it's production of $200.- 900 900 in gold to date has poured a tremendous treasure into the marts of trade in Canada, and only fraction of the mineral wealth of this Territory has been touched.
 AS pointed in the resolution passed by the Council the period of navigation in Yukon would be increased three weeks, and perhaps if the stage of water the head of Lake Laberge could be increased. The dammng of the waters above White horse it is claimed, could be done comparatively small cost estimates improvements to such great waterways the mighty Yukon is concerned.

MAINTAIN THE SUPERIOR QUALITY.
"

Mir Beyer, one of Alaska's largest herring packers and brokers says the superiority of Alaska herring has been established in the New York market. Like wise has the superiority of the American Pacific Coast salmon been acknowledged. Many experts believe that the superiority of Alaska salmon over that of Siberia Russia and Japan is due to the fact that it is handled better in the packing.
 These things suggest the idea that it is up to those engaged in the fisheries industry of this Ter ritory to maintain that supremacy. The fish should be properly graded and properly packed. There should be scientific experimentation for the purpose of further improving methods. No effort should be spared to make the world understand that the best fish in the world is that which from Alaskan waters.
 Here is work that the Bureau of Fisheries could prosecute with benefit to all concernedthe producer and the consumer. Alaska should lead the world in the quality of it's fisheries output well in the quantity.

FRIENDSHIP OF LINCOLN AND DOUGLAS.

Washington State paper, commenting upon the famous Lincoln Douglas debates alleges that Senator Douglas sought to gain advantage in the campaign by accusing Lincoln of having sold liquor, basng the declaration the that Lincoln had been en- ployed clerk in a grocery store where whiskey and other intoxicating liquor sold, the custom in that time Lincoln replying to the ac- cusation said:
 It is that did sell the vile stuff
 while employed in that store, but it takes
 two to make bargain and Douglas
 side of the counter and on the other
 The story is all right except that part of it that declares Senator Douglas seriously urged the charge for the purpose of gaining votes The fact is that this passage, like many others between these two great in the famous debates, mere peasantry-a pant of the comedy offered for the amusement of the crowd It and all the other things of similar character edited out of all authorized accounts of the debates between Lincoln and Douglas flor the that they misun nderstoOd.' Out in Illinois it known that Lincoln and Douglas were fellow townsmen, very close personal friends; in fact they moved in the social set, belonged to the local cliques, and specially fond of each other. It is said that they understood each ether we'll that Senator Douglas was the only Democrat in Illinois who at all alarmed when he learned that Lincoln to be his opponent in the for United States Senator in 1858 Long before that, when Lincoln looked upon with more less amusement by most of the people of Springfield because of his ungainlness and bashfuness Douglas then Judge among the first of their set to whom Mary Todd, afterwards first lady of the land, confded that she engaged to Abe Lincoln. and is said she admitted that she made the confession half apolog getically Miss Todd says one those smiles and looks that made Judge Douglas popular came his face and he said, Mary, I congratulate you; you going to marry the greatest man in the State of Illinois She says he then proceeded so eloquenty forth the virtues of his friend and subsequent political rival that she again felt that she mgh have made mistake in accepting the young lawyer who then seemed about far from
