The death of "Sam" MeKacheran re
mote* from the activities of life one of
the most valued members of the craft of
journalism in the north. Younc, ambi
tious and devoted to his trade. and, with
al, a congenial spirit, Sam was liked by
all who knew him. It is a matter of ex
Deeding regret that one with prospects
for happiness, and prosperity so fair
was cut down at a tirafi when he
had a n?ht to believe that more than
half of his life remained to be lived and
?nioyed. The younjc widow anil babe
have the sympathy of everyone engaged
in newspaper making in the north, be
side* hundreds of others who knew the
husband and father and cherished his
friendship.

While the compliment President
Roosevelt paid to Quay's legislatures
tc that Pennsylvania dedication speech
might not have been entirely worthy of
the man who gave it yet there should
be warning in his speech. There is
r?al danger that the tight against mon
opoly that is now in full blast ! rom one
end of the I'nited States to the other
might be permitted to degenerate into
a mere war upon men of wealth. If
radicalism should become
too pronounced, if it should
go beyond the point where it justly
demands a square deal for all of every
day, it will result in a re-action in the
other direction. Then will the posses
sors of special privileges, in the name
of conservatifm, demand a tribute tbat
will more than repay them for any un
due exaction jthat might be made of
them.
In contending that Haines and Rainy
Hollow offer the best route for a rail
road from the coast to the copper coun
try at the headwaters of the Copper,
White and x'anana rivers the Juneau
Record Miner refers to "the limited de
posits [of copper] found in the vicinity
of Whitehorse." The insinuation is
entirely uncalled for. The advantages
of a route from Haines u> the Alaskan
Interior do oot depend on the lack of
value of any other section of the coun
try.They are freely recognized at Skag
way Whitehorse ami elsewhere in this
vicinity, where the question of commun
ication with the interior has been one
*hich has received attention for many
years.

GET READY
White Pass Preparing for
Road Improvements
Superintendent V. I. Hahn of the
White has been preparing his plans for
the improvement that will bp made to
the White Pass next year. The sur
veys for the betterments were made
some time ago ami the result of his
work in the field will be submitted to
the general manager, president and
board of directors between now early
winter.
The plans contemplate the elimina
nation of wooden bridges and the sub
stitution of gravel tills. Where neces
sary these are made by the construc
tion of concrete walls to hold the
gravel In place
In the last three years r> wooden
bridges have been replaced south of the
summit and tour north of it. Some of
these have been replaced with steel
bridges but in most instances jrravel
fillings have taken their place. Kleven
concrete walls have been put in to hold
the gravel where a sufficient foothold
could not be secured otherwise.
The purpose is to replace all the
bridges with tillmcs or steel before any
of them will have to be rebuilt in a
temporary manner After the bridges
shall have been provided for it is
planned to give more attention to the
improvement of the curves. This, of
courss, has been receiving incidental
attention right along. Hut it will
eventually take first place in line o
importance in the consideration of the
annual betterment appropriations.
