Aside from the government re
ports favoring tho Whltehorse
Kluane route to Shushanna. It may
be of valuo to tlioHo contemplating
the trip to listen to tho words of the
ol ' timers who have boon over the
various lines of travel leading Into
that country.
Oeorgo l)uke of Hulues, knows
the route like a book; he left yes
terday via the Kluaue trail, accom
jianlcd by A1 Vosio, who Is also an
old sourdough.
Joe Stubler, also of Haines, one
ot the best known and most able
mushers of the north, says go In
this way.
Cworge Dillon of Skagway, has
been on the ground and recommends
this route. So does Dell Cowen,
another mustier familiar with the
district, who left today over tho W.
IV Albert Towno has been thero. Ho
says go this way. George Vogel of
Haines Is lit tho city today, his
choice Is via Kluane, or the White
River.
In fact every person who knows
anything about tho country from ac
tual experience, favors the Whtte

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6? Former
Governor John Llnd of Minnesota
lias been vent to Mexico us the per
sonal representative of President
Wilson.
When u stable government has
been established In that republic.
Mr. Llnd will be appointed Ameri
can Ambassador, but for the pre
sent he will act as advisor to the le
gutlon thore.
The uctlon of President Wilson
selecting Mr. L.lnd us a personal rep
resentative, Instead oi making him
umbassndor, means that the United
Mates will not at the present time
recoguize the lluerta administration.
Th<? reason for thv continued refusal
of Wilson to recognize the lluerta
government or to Intervene In Mexi
can affairs, Is best set forth In a
recent talk by Vlco President Mar
shall who said that the president
was ready to appropriate milllous for
th? defense of Americans living n
Mexico for legitimate purposes, but
was not willing to appropriate one
penny for the protection of American
property In Mexico. The cause of
most ull this war iu Mexico is the
anxiety of one conspiracy of Ameri
can capitalists to get the better of
unother sang of American pirates,
and they should fight their own bat
tles for the spoils. If the Ameri
cans do not like tbo way they aro
treated In Mexico thoy should be glv
cu a chance to get out, and If they
do not accept the opportunity to va
moose they should be loft to suf
fer the consequences.
