On January 3 ? three days after i
the Happy New Year, a gigantic
monster w.is discovered by some of
the companions of Stroller White of
the Whitehorse Star. It, the mon
ster. not White, is supposed to
have swallowed twelve moose, or
meese, whatever the plural la. iu
describing it, White says that "hav
ing the base, perpendicular and
hypotenuse the length of the crea
ture can t>e arrived at by math
ematical computation." We aro in-'
clined to the belief that by having
the brand and the amount as a
basis, it would be easier to deter
mine what the Whitehorse celebrat-1
ors saw.
While not necessarily endorsing |
everything this paper reprints from
other newspapers, we take pleasure
in presenting the following from the
American Kconomic League:
The city of Everett. Wash, (pop-1
ulation 30.000 ), has proved itself to
be the most progressive and en
lightened of the Important com
munities iu the country. On Xovem
ber 5 It adopted an amendment to
the city charter providiug that after
1913 personalty shall not be taxed
for city purposes and that in 1913.
1914. 1915 and 1916 improvements
on land shall bo progressively ex
empted until they will be totally
exempted In the last year of the
series.
The city reveuuea are almost
one-half of all taxes collected in
the city . The measure had about
2,000 majority out of a total vote
of 6,000.
This is the second timo that Ever
ett has declared for the single tax.
A year ago It voted on the question
und adopted It by a majority of
only 60. Through some hocus po
cus the will of the people was set
aside and it became necessary to
re-submit It. The largely Increased
majority fpeaks eloquently of the
effect of \ long-continued campaign
of education among unprejudiced, in*
telligent people.
I' is of course too much to ex
pect that opponents of the single
tax throughout the state of Wash
ington will allow Everett to pro
ceed without attempting to stop it.
A fair trir.l of the single tax is the
one thing that predatory Interests
dread above all else. They know
that such a trial means an unde
niable refutation of all the argu
ments they have brought to bear
against the measure. Seattle will
vote on the siugle tax in the spring
HARD ROUTE l-X>R
AUTOS OVKR TRAIL
Commissioner George Black and
C. A. Thou ias. who arrived hero
two weekj ago tomorrow night by
automobile from Dawson, gaining
for themselves the distinction of
bringing the first gas-driven ma
chine over th? entire trail, returned
to Dawson Tuesday after being 8
days on the road.
The travelers left here on the
return trip early Monday morning,
December 23. They made good
time to Carmacks. where tribula
tions began and from there on to
Wheeler's roadhouse, the first sta
tion north of Pellv, where they de
serted their machine and took the
stage for Dawson, the journey was
no summer outing.
As a terrible storm had raged
for several days on the northern
half of the trail, the road was bad
ly drifted and the result was that
the big machine which left Dawsoti
a locomobile, was left by the way
side ? a "locoed-mobile."
The auto truck which left here ;
three weens ago with nearly two
tons of express matter for Minto
Started in Pimples. Nearly All One
Cheek Solid Sore. Very Fretful.
Used Cuticura Soap and Oint
ment. Face All Healed Up.
Kngsley. Mich. ? "Last May my thlr- j
teen month*' old baby had a sore corao on
her cheek. It started In four or Ave email
pimple* and In two or
thrw hours' time spread
to the size of a silver dol
lar. It spread to her eye.
Then water would run
from the pimples and
wherever that touched it
cauMd more sores until
nearly all one check and
up her nostrils were one
?olid sore. She was very
fretful. She certainly
was a terrible looking
child . and nothing seemed
to bo of any use. Then
1 go* some Cuticura Soap and Cutl
curm Ointment. She tried to rub oil
?wything we put on so that we would sit
and bold her hands for two hours at a time,
trying to give the medicine a chance to help
bar. but after ! washed it with Cuticura Soap
and then put on the Cuticura Ointment
they seemed to soothe her and she did not
try to rub them off. It was only a few
days before her face was all healed up.
aad there has been no return of the trouble
rise*. We thought that baby's face would
surely be scarred, but It Is not.'! (Signed)
Mrs. W. J. Cteland. Jan. 5, 1912.

where tt was transferred to stage
for Dawson, was twelve days mak
| Ing the return trip. Her exper
| lence like that of the Dawson ma
chine, only served to emphasize the
crying nee-1 of a good road. The
1 machines ere all right, but the
; road is not.
The above is taken from the
Whitehorae Star. Speaking of the
| trail generally the Star says:
So far as accommodating other
than light loads is concerned, the
overland trail, Whltehorse to Daw
son, is in bad shape. While there
is not sufficient snow for sledding,
there Is too much for wheels, but
the latter are being discarded for
the former. The stage of Wednes
day went out on runners, but the
one from Dawson which arrived yes
terday morning came in on wheels.
The wheels are being discarded for
j the simple reason that their con
tinued use will prevent the trail
Nelng used for runners as long as
the former are used.
Thus far, no freight for Dawson,
j aside from two loads of express
freight, Christmas goods, has gone
| forward since the close of navi
gation and nothing will go in the
line of freight until there is more
snow. At present there is only two
inches of snow on the south half of
the trail and it is so light and fluf
fy that the runners go through to
the gravel.
Never in the history of transpor
tation in the North has it been as
late as the first of January before
sled stage*, could be used.
