SECY. FALL FAVORS PARK
 AUTO ROADS

According to the estimates submit ted by Secretary Fall to the bureau of the budget for road building in Mt.
 Mckinley park, the sum of s360,000 is asked for, says Superintendent Henry
 Carstens of the park.
 The estimate calls for three annual appropriations and the primary pur-
 pose is to construct thirty-three miles of road suitable for a moderate
 amount of automobile travel and an additional sixty miles of sled road for use during winter which will be suit
 able for pack and saddle animals throughout the summer season. These improvements will make it possible for people to enter the park by automo- bile from Mckinley Park station and to visit the game section and get in close proximity to the mountain. In support of the road program Su- perintendent Carstens says thus far there have been no roads which would permit of tourists and others to visit
 the park by automobile, and the in creasing tourist travel to this section of Alaska, resulting from the comple-
 tion of the Alaska railroad, there is large demand for road into the park. The estimates submitted are divided
 as follows:
 Mount Mckinley road, length B miles. Average cost per mile, $10,000. Total cost -$330 900.
 Mt. Mckinley sled. and pack trails, length, 60 miles. Average cost per
 mile $500. Total cost $30,000. Total
 cost of s36O,00O for the two roads.

0LDTIMER SAYS MAYO
 HAS BRIGHT FUTURE

Paul Hogan, former member of the Yukon council from the Klondike dis trict, arrived in Skagway recently, en route to Tenakee, and in an interview with a representative of the Daily Alaskan, spoke very optimistically concerning the outlook for the future in Yukon, and expressed an ever in- creasing confidence in the Mayo and Keno Hill mining regions. He en- phatically denies the reports that the mines are playing out and that the veins are running to low grade, but explains that the development is slow, partly on account of poor roads to the river landing, and partly because the development of any quartz mining area is slow when compared to that of a placer field. According to MT. Hogan, the Guggenheim interests at Keno are preparing to ship out $500 tons of high grade ore next spring when navigation opens on the Stewart river, while the Treadwell Mining Go. plans to send out 2,5OO tons. The new tractor recently imported by the latter concern has proven to be a great i'm provement over the old method of hauling by horse teams, and this will probably do more than any other one thing to speed up the work and reduce expenses of operation in the near fu- ture. The tractor has cut the cost of hauling to the river from $2S to about $5. a @
 The cold water thawing system now being used around Dawson is making it possible to work many claims which hitherto have been deemed impossible of operation The system is being rapidly improved upon and it's success will add many years to the life of Dawson as mining town. g
 In speaking of the Yukon in gen. eral, Mr. Hogan said that he believes the recent visit of Lord Byng to the territory will prove to be boon in the matter of roads and financial aid. The GovernorGenera was greatly i'm pressed by the vast resources of the northern country and readily saw that with the proper assistance from the Federal government, there was every reason to believe that Yukon would once again return to it's halcyon days, with prosperity on all sides and a golden opportunity for all who seek it.

Baron Sidney Sonnino, who celebrates
his 18th birthday today. Though he has
never enjoyed popularity among his
eOuntrymen, fact due to his
cold and reserved manner, the abilities
of Sonnino have been universally ac-
knowledged He is one of the greatest
authorities in Europe on all economic
questions, and to him Italy has been
indebted at several critical periods OF
her career for the revival of her pros
Derity and the restoration of her credit.
Baron Sonnino entered the diplomatic
service in 1867 and in 1880 became mem
Der of the Italian parliament. His first
cabinet post was that of minister OF
finance, in 1893. He has several times
held the premiership. He is a Jew by
race, and a Protestant by creed. His
mother was an English woman, and he
received a part of his education in Eng
land. His grandfather built up an. enor-
nous fortune as banker in Egypt, a
fortune which Baron Sonnino today en-

ANTI.PIPSOUEAK PARTIES.

There is a new form of entertainment
in New York. 1t is the ''anti-pip-
squeak" party 1t has been invented by
New York's most fashionable debu-
tantes, and its object is as wholesome
as its name is ridiculous.
A 'pipsqueak" is a youth who dances
all night and does nothing all day.
Whether his idleness is the result of a
lack of necessity for labor or neglect OF
job to which he is supposed to devote
his time, the girls figure he is a poor
stick, anyway
They prefer the society of the young
men who are working honestly to make
good. and who consequently refuse in
vitations to all-night riots. This
worthy type of youth the girls charac
terize as an ''anti-pipsqueak," and be
cause they like him and believe in hin
and prefer to associate with him, they
have devised the anti-pipsqueak party
1t is a function which begins at o'cloel
and ends promptly at II, after an eve
ming spent in decent dancing.
With such evidence of common sense
who can rant against young America o
| tremble for its future?
