WULFF BOOSTS FOR
Declares that Development of Terri
tory Depends lTpon System of
Roads to Smaller Tamils.
C. G. Wulff, former editor of the
Prospector, who is now en route to
Brooklyn, is losing no opportunity of
winning friends for Alaska and is
working for larger appropriations for
wagon roads in the territory. He is
well qualified to speak on Alaskan
conditions as he has spent seventeen
years in the north and is thoroughly
conversant with the hardships to be
overcome by pioneers in the new
camps. The following interview was
taken from the columns of the Post
Intelligencer:
“What Alaska needs is more roads
and trails and needs them quickly if
the northland is to be developed. The
government railroad now being built
in Alaska will open but a minor part
of the resources of the north and the ]
only means of opening the multitude
of small mining sections is by build- !
ings roads,” says C. G. Wulff, who j
was formerly editor of the Valdez j
Prospector, and a resident of the1
North for seventeen years. He is on I
his way to his old home in Brook- .
lvn. j
"No system of railroads can be
built to reach the small and par
tially developed mining districts nor
would the amount of work done in 1
the various sections justify such an j
outlay, but automobile roads can be
built to almost every camp in the
country and that with an outlay of
but a few millions.
"Col. W. P. Richardson, the head I
of the Alaska Road commission, has j
done wonders with the small amount!
of money annually given him by con- j
gress, but the burden is becoming |
heavier and heavier every year, and
with the few thousand dollars allow- |
ed the commission the present sys- \
tern of roads can only be kept in pas- j
sable condition and the commission I
is unable to extend its operations to
the new camps. Col. Richardson es-1
timates that with $7,000,000 roads
can be built to every camp and town

tify them. The citizens of Seattle
can do no greater service to Alaska
than by helping to obtain an appro
priation of this amount by congress.
"The time of the auto stages from
Valdez to Fairbanks during the past
Bummer was four days, and many per
sons made the trip to the interior
over the Richardson road to the coast.
Many days and considerable money
are saved by taking thede stages.
Seven stages are in operation from
Valdez to Fairbanks, while others
mak j the run from Chitina.
"The success of the Richardson
road should enable the friends of
Alaska to obtain larger appropria
tions for the building of more roads
in the north.” •
8HU8HANNA TO GET
A WINTER TRAIL.
The contract has been let for the
building of a trail from McCarthy,
over the Rohn glacier, into the Shu
shanna, through the efforts of Wil
liam James, the original discoverer
of pay in the camp.
In addition to the $500 promised
toward the construction of the road
by Col. W. P. i Richardson, president
of the Alaska road commission, the
marchants of McCarthy have sub
scribed $250 and James and associ
ates have subscribed $500 and one
man, whose wages are expected to
amount to another $300. The peo
ple of Shushanna are expected to
bring the amount up to $2,000 or
more, which it is believed will put
the trail in good shape for the win
ter. ■
Inside Railroad Dope.
In discussing future construction
work, Chairman Edes said that if suf
ficient funds are forthcoming the
connecting link between the present
Alaska Northern road and the new
line out of Anchorage can be complet
ed in from one year to year and a
half.

BUTTER A LUXURY
IR GERMANY NOW
Government Is Also Conserving Cat
tle as Future of Beef Supply
for the Armies.
BERLIN, Oct. 20.—Butter is one
of the scarcest articles in Germany,
and the price has risen to 80 cents
per pound, (Owing to the German gov
ernment having taken over all cattle
to keep up the supply of meat for the
army.
The supply 6f beef which was enor
mous at the outbreak of the war, is
under government control but has
been steadily decreasing despite the
fact that every precaution was taken
to conserve the cattle. Farmers have
been forbidden to slaughter young
cattle and many prosecutions have re
sulted from violations of the order.
The amount of meat allowed by the
government for each family has been
decreased and beef is practically un
known to all except familes where in
valid soldiers are. Butter has been
classed as a luxury and Germans are
urged to conserve the supply in or
der that it might be sent to the
front or to the hospitals.
BONAR LAW TO 8E
Believed Conscriptionists Will Get
Control of House of Commons
If Asquith Resigns.
LONDON, Oct. 20.—The British
cabinet is deadlocked over the ques
tion of conscription as a means of
raising the new army of three mil
lion men which Lord Kitchener is de
manding be raised this winter for the
spring campaign, and which he de
clares will be necessary to save Great
Britain from going down to ignomin
ious defeat.
Premier Asquith is reported as be
ing seriously Ml and It is believed will
soon tender his resignation. The
resignation of Premier Asquith will
place the conscrlptionists in power as
Bonar Law would undoubtedly be
made premier
Bonar Law is one of the most rad
ical of British statesmen and during
speeces in the house of commons
urged the seizure of all German prop
erty in the British emnire and has
steadfastly refused all efforts at medi
ation.
He was opposed to Great Britain
entering the war but now that the
crisis has arisen he believes that ev
ery Briton should volunteer his serv
ices to his country.
BELIEVES GOVERNMENT
MUST BUY C. R. ROAD.
Chitina: Last Thursday evening,
Falcon Joslin, president of the Tana
na Valley railroad, addressed the few
people left in Chitina, on the subject
of transportation and in a very able
and interesting manner showed the
growth of transportation in the Uni
ted States from the turnpike road to
the present magnificent railroad sys
tems.
He showed how this naa an Deen
Brought about by private enterprise,
but stated that the growth had stop
ped by reason of harsh and unconsid
ered legislation. He was very much
opposed to Government ownership,
but stated that owing to the condi
tions he had mentioned it was impos
sible to get private capital to go any
farther, so he had done evervthing in
bis power to assist In bringing about
♦be present Government rond now
under construction. He could not
see how any other route than the
Conner -Giver had heen selected, un
less it was fear of the political dema
gogs, who would have heen only too
glad to charge the administration
with taking a white elephant off the
hands of the Guggenhelms, but main
tained that eventually either this ad
ministration or some other would
have to take this road if they were
to give Government ownership a fair
chance. He bade the people be of
good cheer and predicted a great fu
ture for Chitina, and still greater for
Cordova, which he said could not es
cape being the home of one or more
great smelters. He expressed the
hope and conviction that a very short
time would see us relieved of the
evils of being administered by a
bunch of bureaucrats at Washington,
and that a Board with headquarters
in Alaska and composed of Alaskans
would soon be attending to all mat
ters pertaining to the country.

The After-Hours
Salesman
MANY concerns lose money every night by not attract
ing the attention of the crowds on the streets in the
evening. On the other hand, many other concerns pros
per because they employ the after-hours salesman—Elec
tric Light. You can readily pick out these stores on the
busiest thoroughfares—their show windows pouring a
brilliant flood of light upward, outward and downward,
thereby adding an attraction to the goods displayed not
obtainable in any other way. Few people can resist a
glance at the beautiful effect—most people stop and ad
mire it. The proprietors of these shops are well versed
in all modern methods which make for success in devel
oping trade. They know that the lavish use of electric
light pays, and use Edison Mazda Lamps to obtain it at
a minimum cost.
