MOTOR ROAD TO DAWSON.
Canada will have the longest
and lonliest motor road in the
world according to the recent
decision of I ho government to
build a motor road into Dawson
City. Fifty thousand dollars has
been voted to the purposes of
this road, and a couple of other
such votes will be necessary to
finish it.
At the present Dawson is only
reached by stage in winter, when
there is a deep coating of snow
on the ground. It is the inten
tion of the goverment to build a
road for motors 100 miles in
length, from Whitehorse, at the
head of Yukon’s two thousand
miles of navigation, right into
Dawson City. Dr. Alfred Thump
son. M. P. lor MiKon, vvno nas
obtained this grant, will take
surveyors with him into the ter
ritory to start the work on his
return to his constituency.
At the present time the motor
has penetrated into the heart of
Africa, and almost everywhere
else. Tourists go thousands of
miles in order to travel ovetr
some road, hitherto unknown to
the power car. And thus, when
the motor road is finished into
Dawson, it will not only open
lhal Canadian city to (he tourist
traffic of the world, but attract
tourists from1 many lands—Ot
tawa Free Press.
The foregoing from the Otta
wa paper only serves to empha
size the argument advanced by
this paper last week in favor of
an automobile road, not only
from Whitehorse to Dawson,
hut from Skagway to Dawson
via Whitehorse, in the event ot
the construction of the latter,
ten machines will tour Yukon
to every one that will hi* seen
if they are required to he ship
ped from the coast to this place.
A road suitable for autos from
Whitehorse to Dawson will he a
fine thing but one from Skag
way to Dawson would be ten
times better.-—Whitehorse Star.
The public health bureau says
that fear of the germs they may
contain need, deter no one from
amassing greenbacks as swiftly
a1.- possibly, since the ink kills
the germs. Was'anyone ever dis
covered who allowed such a fear
to keep ho i poor, and if such a
craven-spirited soul exists, is it
worth while lo reassure him?

Great Britain is unreasonable*

it.
