Cp there we don't go to -anuch bother to savt$7. But we are anxious to illustrate to the people of the-l?nited . Qtate how the-government Is holding beck the development of Alaska, and. when 1 tell you what the Canadian gov ernment Is doing for the Klondike country. Just across the line, then the ' people will understand that somethlifg is wrong with the Alaskan, policy of this country. ' " . - -potatoes are tflgh oh Mastodon creek because the government makes no pro - " vison for building roads there. We must fi cent a pound to have goods k ; packed 6amlle fronts ClrcleCJtyto I " Waitpdon., and that makea potatoes ' c worth 45 Bent a pound on the creek. Of course, everything else costs in pro- portfcHV, The -placer ropertlea of Alaska and the Klondike are now be lng developed by large plant, requlrng heavy shipments of 'machinery.. But b , the time a lot of machinery reaches Mastodon or any other creek away from the Yukon river the expense has become almost prohibitive. Oo across the boundary.llne to. Daw son, which Is located in a region where h natural conditions are' exactly the same and the difficulties of road making identical with those In American terri tory, and you find-automobiles speeding from the town tp the creekav faat drlvlna- ' horses carrying - mlneownera - hither an thlilmr. and even bicycles;- tn the summer time. - ; "When a discovery of gold Is made nn a creek in the Klondike territory the British government-tmmedlately builds a road . connecting It with the main ramp, and coat of transportation is re duced tb a minimum. j. j'ln - American territory we- ' must forego the advantages derived from Im provements pf that character J -and' we ' 5nre assessed -individually to put the trails In-euch condition a i will allow, the pasaaita. of pack grains. "Were - we, to ship ' potatoes from Circle City to Mastodon the charge of the . packer -would -toe 2S centa a pound. - ; yet the-government will send mall matter for J cent an ounce, and t eon-. . . celved the Idea, of showing the actual rondftlon up there as contrasted wltk those obtaining In British territory bj mailing 60 .pounds of potatoes t Alaska and proving by these . figures ., that I. was saving money."? -: Mr. DodsOnba been in the far north since I89(. excepting for a few months when he has visited Portland. He went - n first to Circle City, aa deputy Internal revenue' collector; he remained after re signing that position. He has operated In placer mining In British and Ameri can territory, and now owns. about one mile of Masfodon creek, Jttitch Is one pf the richest in Alaska. 1 This la-the manner inrwnicn gam handles, the . road busines m Alaska: He appoints at $40 a year a rnu rnmmlantoner who 1s expected to collect IK apiece from every person do ing business or employee- in, me terri tory." Suppose 20 prospectors 'open up a creek and demonstrate its richness. There would be $1(0 a year collected In that district to build roads, remaps, the creek is 20 miles from another to which there Is a trail. How much would $160 do in making a road In that coun try T Yet the Canadian government -has. bVillt roads to new creeks and the reve nues derived have been immensely in excess of the expense Incurred. The Kldhdlks haa been a profit-bearer to thej Ottawa government, and tne- xuxon country -would' be the aame for the gov ernment at Washington were the same policy to-be adopted. .' "xou ioiks in tne states ao not reauae the r countless. millions of mineral wealth stored in the hills and- on the creeks of Alaska. , Most of the creeks are turning out. well and the output Is Increasing .every.-year-Statenwmts-4hat the Alaskan pay streak la pinching out are false." ' . 'H 7 ' Then Mr. Dodson took up thejmatter of Portland merchants' relation tfeAlas- kan trade. ''-' - "When 'I reached Seattle .the other day," said he, "and registered from -Mastodon creek, only an hour elapsed be fore several business men called, - and one, when I told him I must go on the 4: so o clock train to Portland and there fore could not take time to give him an order for goods, quickly said that if I would make an engagement In Portland he- would come here any day I would name.Ihat!Ji-tha way they go a f toe Alaska trade, and they get It. Yet, In HI7, -Portland had made such an inroad on the business of that territory that It waa tn a fair way to control it. "The people of Alaska would rather trade with Portland, but Portland seems not to want Alaska's trade and so 'we do not got an opportunity to buy goods here. 1 have with me orders for several thousand dollars' worth of goods which I brought out as a favor to friends at Mastodon. - "There Is no law In the Circle City country,' he continued. "That is, the commissioner has given up his Job. He gets only ii.ouo a year,- and no one worth anything will work for that sum In that country. When "miners,' law was In force,- absolute Justice "prevailed. Now, government 4e In a sense a fare. A man was arrested for giving hi squaw wife some whiskey. He was sen tenced to SO days In Jail; the day and night guards received II apiece a-dayj so -that It cost 11,440 to guard that prisoner. This Is rhat the law allows and of course there were men ready to take tne money. Th Mat aide efOce ef The Joornil is IS the atora of 'Mrs. r. W. UcKlnotj. 880 KaM UstTlaaa ilmL TaUpboM Kaat STB. ' i. The Milwaukia fence problem Is in the throes of settlement, and though present conditions are the reverse o peaceful. there is hope ahead. A month ago the town council authorised the marsnai to remove fences In the streets .ana me marshal -njotlfled the property owners Interested Uhat 'In iO days If the, ob structions Were not taken away he would tear them down. The month ended last week and no move had "been made by the neoDle Interested, so Af lnaL warning waa sent out and threefmore days of delay given.. Finally seeing that If the treats wefe ooened they would be onened bv force themarehal drew long breath" and" spent an afternoon de molishing the fences fronting on. two blocks near the echoomouae. Tho owners of the' adjacent property were two women, wno naa irom u first stated their belief In the Inabil ity'; the city government to interfere ulth hl ,n nana. When the first rail. waa. torn oK the marshal was con fronted by two angry women.i What do you mean , by tearing oown that fencer' shouted one. f You had better not touch that fence!" cried the othert . ' The marshal thought the time ror ea- olanatlons had passed, and while the women and their rnenas nuiana kept on piling up rails and' pulMng up posts. ." - j "It is a shame ror a greai strong man to tear down a widow' fence!" sobbed one. Yes, why don't you start in wner there Is a. man to protect nis rijrms, Instead of taking advantage of two lone women?". Inquired .the other la a severe tone... ' It waa not a pleasant half day the marshal BDent tn opening to the puDlK two streets that bad been rencea since the old town "was first settled, but he kant on until two broad thoroughfares took th1pIaceTrtfie-Bssorted collection of corrals, fences, pens ana coops. Ther remain several blocks' more t be opened, but action has been delayed on this work by. the marshal in in nope that the' orooerty owner' will take a slla-ht hint and do their own demolish' lng. The property owner, nowever. Intimate that there will be a man in the case next time and that thV opening of the street will not be so easy. Th marshalcasually remarks that he hopes there will be a man In th case, ror ne has had all the experience wltn women' maaai mutinll -that h "deBlMS.
