HONEYFUGLE.
Mr. Roosewlt. when president.!
made household words of "mollycod
dle." "muckraker." etc. It, was a
good serv joe. Mr. Taft now comes
to bat And makes a hit with "honey -
fugle." " Honey fugle" seems to have I
a "daown Bast" twang to it. and
one suspected at first the president
had lifted it from the lexicon of his
Aunt Mia Torrey. Hut the author
liles already pronounce it of Southern;
extraction, and the dictionary says
it me*ns to "cajole" or "wheedle"
"Blarney" must be the Irish equival
ent. Anyhow, it is a good word, and
the president must he thanked for
getting it in circulation. "Honey
fugle" It does seeni to fit a cer
tain type of statesmen to a T The
mellifluous, honey -tongued Bryan, for
example. Surety the most amiable
and persevering "ho. ^yfugler" of the
dear people in our time ? Kx

Lowe's teams have moved 1*0 tons
of freight from Whitehorse to the
foot of Lake Leliarge last week and

Good news for Juneau is contained '
in the letter, published below, which
was received by V. S. Marshal 11. L.
Faulkner from Col. Richardson, head
of the Alaska road commission, last
Saturday.
The complete letter reads as fol- !
lows:
"Washington, l>. C? March 16, '12.
"Mr. H. L. Faulkner, U. S. Marshal, I
and Others, Petitioners, Juneau, AI-!
aska.
! "I>ear Sirs: ? I have the honor to
acknowledge the receipt of your peti
I lion for the construction of a wagon
load between the town of Juneau'
and the Camp of Sheep Creek and
1 to advise you in reply that the Hoard
of Road Commissioners will, it is
thought from the information now at'
hand, favorably act upon, thus project
and will take tip the work as soon as
IKissible.
! "It is doubtful, however, if any
more can be done during the present
season than the work of survey and
definite location, with perhaps a
small amount of actual <-onst ruction
at the Juneau end.
"1 have advised with the governor
of Alaska on this subject and he:
[highly approves of this project and;
: concurs wi'li me in the opinion that!
it is absolutely necessary for thej
I board first to complete certain other
work now in progress, including the
road between Juneau and Eagle Rivet
