TO FTN1SH THIS ^ EAR
The Dawson News tells of the
work on the mad between Ibison
and Whitehorse In the following ar
ticle:
Isaac t.oak. superintendent of
roads, has retufaed to fke city after
a trip over the portion of 'he over
land road wow nnder contraction
between Dawson and Whitehorse
The drenching rains and the cloud
burst la the itotaity of the head of
Scroggte occurred shortly after Mr
Loak started from Pol If for the
Stewart and ke found !t aeccMar?
to s* im his horse in many places
and to nialu? detours He reports,
ho*f*pf, that the work is progres
sing. and the cut-off will be fin
i?netl this year.
The road from lower Black Hills
to the Stewart river is practically
completed, says Commissioner Black
TMs makes a continuous road front
Dawson to the Stewart via Black
Hilla. Oa the south side of the
Stewart river the sew road is com
pleted to the forks of the Scroggie
Work is being done on the new road
on th?' rlghi fork, where the miners
air located, and up the left fork,
where the main trail will follow.
The Whit* Pass caterpillar, which
proved such a great success in pull
ing stumps and in doing other road
work on the south end of the over
land last year, was started from
Whitehorse for Scroggls the other
?I*1 to he used on the cutoff. Near
Hootallnqua the steamer met with a
mishap, and parts of the machine
w?>re lost overboard, and new parts
had to be sent for from outside. Af
ter the caterpillar finally was land
ed at Pelly. whore it was to be tak
en overland to the place where the
new grading Is being done. It was
found the country was so drenched (
that It was conxerted Into a huge
lake, or swamp, in most places, and
that a here there was any land ex
posed is waa so muddy the machine
could not be kept above the surface
so it was sent back to Whitehorse
Commissioner Black says that this
is a regrettable affair, because the
machine doubtless would have ren
dered great service in putting the
road in the best possible condition.

William E Britt. who returnad
Thursday from a visit of several
weeks In the various ? ities of the
-oasts of Washington and Oregon,
spent several days at Olrmpia. wher
everybody talks politics It was
i here that Mr Britt got a good in
sight Into the politics of the nation
that is being discussed on the out
side From his observations, he ia
led to the belief that the coming
contest lies between Wilson and
Roosevelt "Tart will be the worst
defeated man that ever ran for pres
ident." said Mr Britt "The Roos
velt Progressive party, however, is
raining ground and it would not be
much of a surprise to see htm win.
Roosevelt is a forceful campaigner
and a convincing talker; In his(
public speeches he Influences the
minds of h<s hearers snd makes
convert* by wholesale".
tiovemor Johnson of California, (
his rswaiiiR mate. Is a man of ths 1

ealy la California, but In the nation '
In my opinion. California, Illinois, |'
and many of the Western States are '
sure to go Progressive "
