Now, really, doesn’t Andrew F. Bur
leigh's dig at the (iuggenheims seem a
grain elieeky? Several so-ealled Alaska
railroad eoneerns have done little lmt
obtain franchises and lobby for aid. If
the (iuggenheims propose to invest their
capital in genuine railroad work their
demand for protection against jieople
who would operate on the government’s
credit is not unreasonable. It may be
that the (iuggenheims have a hand in
what is termed the Ala.-ka-Siheria prop
osition and also the new control of the
Tanana Mines railway enterprise. If
so, and if they will go to work, more
power to them. There is no fault to
lind with constructive capital. It is the
obstructive, dog-in-the manger people
like those who kept the Klondike out of
a railroad for seven years that are a
blight._
A few people laughed at the predic
tion made in the Valley News last fall
that the largest city in interior Alaska
will some time be built on the Yukon
between the Yukon Flats and the month
of the Tanana. I.aughing time is still
open and may remain so for a long
time. Politics may either hasten or de
luv events and but an imperfect knowl
edge of the country's resources has been
gained; but if the great extent of terri
tnry lying lietween the Alaska range
and the Arctic ocean ever serves the
purposes of a permanent population the
Yukon will be its sustaining artery,
t icography w ill not be ignored.

MAIL NOT HERE
FROM UP RIVER
l'p to the middle of this afternoon
the mail lias not arrived from up the
Yukon.
It was due Monday, and usually gets
in by noon of that day.
It is thought probable that Joe
Minard, the Rampart-IIamlin carrier,
has bad to proceed up river from Ham
lin to find out what is the matter, just
as I'M rdedermau, the Rampart-Tanana
carrier, did this morning. If two mail
carriers fail to meet at the end of their
runs, after waiting a reasonable time
the non-appearing one is looked for by
the other. In this way every carrier
will be thrown off bis regular run from
here to where the delay occurred.
