II there ie an; one thing more
prejudicial than another to the
welfare of a town it i» the “blues.’'
When tbe inhabilanteof a burg be- j
tern* afflicted with that complaint;
the town ie beyond hope ni ad-j
inaeement. Indifference nitre1
and opportunities pass unheeded.I
Hint seems tw he the etatnr ef Val
id to-day and yet there ie no
good cause for it. That business is
dull it tsiw.but that ctate of affairs j
las existed every summer since the'
fcuadatian ef the town. It is te be'
•x peeled se why civ ever it? Tbe!
eoming fell and wintei will ne|
doubt be ts prosperous ae ever,
tnd possibly more se. That we I
did net get a wagon road this sum
mo is no cause lea despair. We
did u< I have one last summer, hut
tbe town survived..and what is still,
more to the joint we probably nev
er will have one if we do not hustle,
h'cither was a railroad built, nor ;
sre we sure when it is to be start
ed, bit that it will be built is be
yond question. The inestimable!
wealth of tbe Copper cLwer ceuntry
assures it, aud it is nearer to-day
by a year thau it was last sumuier.
That fact alone is cause for rejoic-(
ing. If you would accomplish any-1
thing for the town <>r for yourself
yet a move on and rustle. Keep
busy and you will have no time to
get tbe •‘blues.’’
On July 10th. The Seattle V -I
speaking editorially of theadvan-;
tage» to- U? derived upon the com
pletion vl the Alaska cable eoiincct
ing all of Alaska through Ynldsz,
with Seattle, the article concludes <
ae follows:
“Having istablished telegraphic!
sormminication with Alaska, the j
next important government work
is-the construction of passable high
ways- into the interior. Some steps ;
ia. this direction will be taken un
ies the act whiah passed congress
tzv the last session, but the friends
si the district should unite in re
ujuesliog. heavy additional appro
priations for the same purpose next
winter, whan congress again con
venes.”’
'Vhea jsngrese again convenes
and Valdez is ashing for the neces
sary funds foe this much needed
wagon JOud.it i» to he hoped that
riie f.-L will be counted among
eu* friends- nattier than take the
attitude it did during the last ses
sion of. cengness. ‘ The next iuo
portent government work is the
construction of passable highways
into the interiorr,r is a statement
Shat goes beyond dispute, notwith
standing its enormous siie and
gsasd interior country, «kao*t the
entire population lives along the
toast for lack of communication
with the interior.
The erity’V funds Wing this year
very low it we>ild W a wise pre
caution for the oitv fathers to pro
test against the transfer of license?
from, the creeks or roadhouse to
the t»wn,the money far these li
censes- having afreadH- been turned
mto tho government, there would
he no possible chance for our
schools or other institutions to de
rive any benefit, although we are
entitled to the license moneys for
all business transacted within the
towta The man out of town is
forced t*> pay for a license for a
