Secretary McVeagh of the Irnw

paper currvncy is too large and

Gradually the people of this
country were becoming hov-lrcitrd
carrying tiii* extra lo*d of paper
ground without realising what ailed
them, until M. Veagh discovered the
cause Tike an ordinary person ?
ourselves for instance ? under the
new ochenw- ?,< would be saving the
weight of about four square in
fliw of i>?|wf on each dollar bill.
The per capita wealth of an Alas
kan is on- thousand dollars; four
square inches on each dollar means
four thousand square inches, which
oucht to * fifth fifteen pounds, and
Ihfiv ?i>u h;t\e the solution of the
moo?-\ quest u?n in a nutshell. We
have been carrying fifteen pounds
of paper around, while all the while
we thought it was lumbago that
ailed us

becoming lop sided Secretary Mc
Veach has now iwe forward *ith
a proposition to relieve us of
our burden With the aid of the Ke
publican party and the National
banks it will only be a short time
until troubles of that character *111

Notw iths'andlng that an agricul

t anttualh raised and sold here If
a mine annually produced the rev
enue for Skagw ay that our garden
er* do. th? fact would be telegraph
ed all over the world and our dtl
*ens would brag of it lo everyone
who came within the sound of our
voices It has never been proven
that Skagway land is valuable for
mining, bu: it is proven every day
that it ha.-? untold riches In fertil
ity of soil for agriculture This
city has tiie natural advantages for
the construition of a smelter for the
reduction of the ores that He all
around us. by a I leaned stroke of
providence we are able to raise pro

population that is d>sttned to find
homes in this valley, who will al

la the deflection of the Japan
current or some other cause render
ing the climate of Yukon and Alas
ka milder?
This question ?m asked last win
ter when the mildest winter known
In I his belt was recorded Now the
autumn is exceptionally mild The
present warm day* may be only
temporary, but there Is testimony
available from reliable sources to
the effect the Northland Is under
going an experience pointing to
milder conditions than in times
past One of the American geo
logical corps who passed through
I >;< ? son during the summer, en
route from the Alaskan coast to the
lower Yukon, reported having learn
ed recently that the coast glaciers
of Alaska are receding rapidly,
?tnd practically approaching their
?Hid The process is slow, but not
hi slow but what men notice it
from ve?r Jo year. Jark Italton re
torted last summer that large coast
glaciers were disappearing
A few days ago telegrams were!
received from Juneau that the
Grand Pacific glacier has broken o'fl
und diminished to such an extent
it appears as though the moraine
| may soon be vacant far enough
back to permit ocean-going vessels
to advance eastward in the bay to
-in?l beyond the international bound
itry liue. thus giving Canada Ji
roast port almost opposite Juneau
Arrivals from the head of Wbtte
river the last few days state that '
the large xlacier* In the Alaakan
Alp* near the White are being re
duced in sue to an appreciable de
gree each year, and that it appears
hat it is a matter of years when
some of the large glaciers will have
disappeared entirely
l.ast winter it was stated the
lapan current had been deflected
(o a more northerly course by some
submarine upheaval or some such
strange action. Whether or not
there was anything in the theory,
last winter was the mildest on re
cord
Yukon expects to sec considerable
frost and snow again, but the ex
ceptionally mild conditions reported
the last yrar and the other phenom
ena in nature referred to In the
loregoing give rise to something
nore than dreams as to the prob- j
ability of the Northland being
favored in the future with warmer |
conditions -han in ages past. ? Paw
