Despite the recent disap- pointing turn of events in conn., ection with certain proper ties in the Texas Creek sect ion, the mining outlook in the Portland Canal district is to- day decidedly more promis- ing than at any time in the camps history.
 The district has now reach ed stage when the fruits of long years of effort are con- mencing to be garnered by
 those 'who have invested their time and money. The lone mine" camp of a year or two ago has now developed three clearly proven mines, while every present indication points to the addition of at least three more within the coming year.
 The Porter-Idaho is sending out a daily quota of high grade ore; the Riverside and Dunwell have each an immen- SC body of ore blocked out and are but awaiting the in- stallation of mining and mill ing equipment before being included with the famous Premier on the list of per manent producers. High grade ores are also being shipped from the B. c. Silver and Fraser properties in quantities which disclose that they too may be considered as certain producers in the future. In addition there are fully a dog en other properties which dis play the ear marks of prof. itable mines. All this is most conclusive evidence that with a continuance of the present era of intelligent development the district will ultimately become one of the greatest silver and lead producing areas of the world.

Peru has passed a law requir- ing every male to work at road building one to two weeks a year, depending on age, or to pay enough extra tax to hire some body else to do the work.
 The law is working splendid ly, the Peruvian government reports, A network of good roads has been developed and communication has been open ed to many districts with which there was little intercourse be- fore.
 Alaska has fewer roads that any other section of the United States. The greatest need of the Territory is roads and more roads. Yet any attempt to institute law similar to that of Peru would undoubted- ly raise a tremendous storm of disapproval. The question of ample roads could be solved very easily insofar as Alaska is concerned without resort to such measures if a law were enacted providing that claim owners be given the option of performing the annual assess ment work on mining claims or of paying to the Territory for road building purposes all or a part of the money now so uselessly expended for that purpose.
 There is scarcely more than one claim owner in a dozen who would not be glad to in- sure the development of the
 much needed roads and trails
 by this simple process.

The newly organized Cham Der of Commerce is displaying most commendable activity in taking hold of the various problems of securing pubic benefits for the district. AL though only a few weeks have elapsed since organization, the Chamber has already outlined la comprehensive program GOV el,ing the principal needs and committees are at work secur- ing the necessary data to en- able their presentation to the proper governmental agencies to secure the desired end. The committee in charge of the matter of securing protection for the town against the en- croachments of Salmon River during high water periods, has been especially active and has assembled a mass of dem- onstrable facts which, if properly presented can hard ly fail to impress the powers that be" with the true serious ness of the situation and the
 urgent need for assistance be- fore irreparable damage is done.

This is 8 pretty good town, as towns go. We all admit it, and are proud of it. But there is one fly in the community ointment that prevents us from advancing as rapidly as we should. Everybody is will ing tp have things done, but wants to "let George do it, :" and when George reaches a certain point he balks. He gets tired of carrying the whole load.
 What We need is a greater spirit of cooperation, a will ingness on the part of each one to do his or her share in the advancement of our com munity interests. In every com munity there are always a few who are willing to work for the public good. They are the Georges. There are also a lot of others who are will ing to let them do it. They are not Georges. Once in a while we read of some town like Hyder that keeps boom ing and showing right along regardless of conditions or handicaps. Such a town is full of Georges, and because the Georges are so numerous none of them is overworked and there is no occasion for balk- ing. Why can't we all be Georges in this town? There is room for improvement, and we have plenty of people with the brains of George.

The promptitude with which the Canadian government aids the development of the mining industry by road and trail inn provements should provide a wholesome example to our own government, which frequently allows the industry to languish for long periods for lack of trails.
 The reason why the Canad- ians miners fare better may
