Plan Is Negotiated Between
United States and Great
Britain-Method Public.
LIQUOR TO BE SHIPPED
INTO ALASKA WATERS
Shipments to go from Prince
Rupert to Stikine then
Across Canadian Border

The impending great drought oi
Yukon Territory was averted TO-DAY
when. under the terms of the treaty
negotiated between Great Britain an'
the United States last month, ar
rangements between Collector OF Gus
toms John c. Mcbride and Commis
sioner G.. p. Mckenzie, OF Dawson
for importation of alcoholic liquors
from Canada across Alaska into the
Yukon were approved by the Treas
ury Department. This was made pu'
lie today by Collector Mcbride,
In his official announcement the
Collector said:
Arrangements have been approved
by the Treasury Department by whicf
shipments of liquor destined to thf
Government of Yukon Territory, com
plying with The necessary regula
tions as to the matter of shipment
can be transported through the Ter
ritorial waters of Alaska to points
in the Dominion OF Canada. TIT
ARRANGEMENTS between this office ant
Yukon Government officials call fol
direct shipments from Prince Ru
merit up the Stikine River across tia
Canadian boundary without transfer
within American borders. The ship
ments must be made under seal anc
conveyed through American waters
from boundary to boundary"
Land at Telegraph Creek
Under this plan 1t is probable thai
vessels capable of making the trI
from the mouth of the Stikine River
TO Prince Rupert as well as from
the river mouth to Telegraph Creel
will be used. These vessels will
enter at Ketchikan. Convoy Officers
will board them at that point and
proceed with them to the interna
iional boundary on the Stikine River
Shipments landed at Telegraph
Creek will have to be transported
over the Government trail running
through that point to Atlin, b. c
from where transportation to White
horse, Dawson and other interior
Yukon points is easily available. /
is understood here that the present
condition of the trail is such tina
summer transportation of eargoe!
over 1t Is impracticable il not impos
sible, owing to the great expense
involved However, winter trail con
ditions are good. This leads to the
belief among local officials that thu
Yukon government will make Its
shipments to Telegraph Creek fol
storage until after the all freezeup
storing in Government warehouse:
and transporting the stocks after the
first of the winter SHOWS make
freighting feasible.
Ends Two Year Embargo
The announcement of Collector
Mcbride means that the embargo
established two years ago against Ii
quor shipments across Territorial wa
ters into northern Canada has beer
wiped off the books. 1t was placed
on by Treasury Department regula
tions on June IS, 1922. This was ;
cargo that was enroute from Scot
land to the Territory at the time th'
embargo was fixed and which wa
allowed to proceed to its destination
under convoy.
