KETCHIKAN, ALASKA, DECEMBER 27, 1915.
THE CLIFF AVENUE ROAD
It is now a year since a petition was circulated
for the signatures of property owners for the con
struction of the Cliff Avenue road. Was it a bail
for the government to start the construction oi
the Charcoal Point road only, or was it circulated
in good faith, that is to say, with the intention
of building the Cliff Avenue road also. Be that
as it may, one road has been completed but the
other appears farther from realization than ever be
fore. . It seems as though something ought to be
done to connect town with the Charcoal Point road
As it is, the government's completed part is of no
practical value to the great majority of those who
signed the petition, consequently of no value to any
one. .. ,
It there are any insurmountable objections to tne
work, it would be a horse of another color, but if
is merely the fear of displeasing a few, the ma
jority has the right to demand action. The council
is to be commended for the consideration it has given
the matter, yet patience must cease to be a virtue
when a glaring necessity presents itself, as in this
case. It is said that a few object on the ground
that they will lose property they c aim they are
entitled to yet the law of right applies equally to
those whose‘right to the road is prevented. Mani
festly, if matters cannot be adjusted amicably, the
only‘recourse is the court and sooner or later the.
will know where they are at.

LET US KEEP IT
Wouldnt it be a wonderful old world if all the
shams and the hypocrites and the liars and the
the slanderers and the snobbers and the would be ar
crats and the mean folks could know the wonderful
power of a little bit of brotherly love?
To acknowledge that t he last few days we have
harbored malice toward our fellowmen, would be to
deny the Christmas spirit of the time. Then if we
harbored no malice toward any one the last few days,
could we not keep that up for the ensuing year?
Can we not open our hearts to the idea and see how
it will work . Let us refuse to harbor any ill-feeling
hate, anger or e il though i >n ■ i who'-"

ANOTHER AMUSEMENT PLACE
With the re-opening of the Shoot

street, the people may find another
place of amusement where they can
shoot away their little wads. Mr.

Just go and shoot away all you mind
