looked brighter for a banuer your In
business than at present. From
N'urnc to Skagwa.v, all cities are pre
paring (or .ill (led business and many
of them are enjoying ttrj resump
tion o! traiile which has already be
gun. That there is to be an enor
mous Increase lu the Interior busi
ness is evidenced by the way the
transportation companies are start
ing out to capture it.
One o i the foremost to see the
coming events is tho White Pass
railway company. With new bouts
on tho lower Yukon and new boats
being put into servlco connecting Se
attle with Fairbanks In a through
transportation service, evidences the
foreshadoning of activities to come.
The government is sure to begin
the construction of railroads within
the next year, which means the de
velopment of the country along ma. J
lines. Coal mining hw already be
gun, and fold and copper mining is
iucreasing by leaps and bouuds.
The Increased output of the Atlln
mining district and the new strik<s
in tho Teslln is eveu now adding
to the busluess that is being done in
fkagway. Juneau is enormously in
creasing her mining development;
the White river, aud Kluane coun
tries are showing better than eve.*
before, and there Is a promise of a
railroad being constructed tapping
the rich deposits in tho districts
back of Haines.
Coming right do&n to home af
fairs, we hear It rumored, from goo.l
sources, that the White Pass is to
standardize their system and begin
laying a broad gauge track before
the closing o( another seasou. it
is with that oud In viow that no new
equipment is being ordered for the
present system. Considering all
things, there is every reason to be

HEROES.
The American people bold lu
reserve a tremendous amount ot
character prepared for almost
auy emergency. Sordid love of
money baa not yet seriously af
fected the deep, strong under
current of public vlrtuo. Men
are better than we often admit.
In this great land of ours there
are at this moment thousands
and even hundreds of tbousaL\ls
of heroes ready for an opportu
nity, for the opportunity makes
tb? hero. The man who goes
down Into the depths of his own
heart and examines his motives
and then pats away overwhelm
ing temptation? that man is a
moral hero, second to no hero of
smoke and battle. Tho woman
who endures day by day and
year by year sacrifice that dally
grows heavier rather than take
souie easy way out of It? she Is a
tuorul bemlne. and of such there
are more In this great land tbau
will ever be known. And It Is
this moral courage that will al
ways save this good land of ours
?a courage that bad Its source
In the repugnant sternness of
our Itevoiiitinnary ancestors and
their live# of dally sacrifice and
hardship It wu? the thinking
bayonets of the citizen soldiery
and this invincible moral cour
age thai gave the United States
In all w.-irs the best armies that
ever mart bed or fought Though
decimated by disease and thin
ned by slaughter, they never de
spaired They fought for prin
ciples and to save the country,
and they saved the country. And
It Is because of that moral and
physical courage that our glori
ous flag still floats over us today
with no star lost or dimmed.?
