When the order cam* from Wash- ;
i n ?t on requiring all flag* under
American consulates to be hung at
half mast during the funeral of
Vice President Sherman, there *??
one consul who did not comply with
the official mandate, and that one
was Stroller White, of Whltehorse.
Y. T White didn't hare a flag
staff. and as the market price for
peeled elms in Whitehorse U about
two dollars per running foot, he
wired Washington that his Income
from the Kreat American republic
would not permit his Investing more
than two dollars in a staff, or a
'bloody pole" as he now calls It,
ai d I bat a flip at half mast on a
staff twelve whes long would not
express much sorrow aa he
thought tnc i<T.islon demanded
The consular service took the
matter up with the war department
and they passed it along to the D.
A. R and various patriotic bodies
of the nation, and at last an an
swer came fcack that the American
consul at Whitehorse would have to
remain poleless until an appropria
tion could be passed by congress for
the relief of the grief stricken pe
tit loner
Thus another deserving patriot
has b?-en humiliated by official neg
lect and red tape White has voted
the democratic ticket for a quarter
century or more and surely he
should be entitled to the thrill of
raising a fag at half mast when
n republican passes on
After viewing the different lines
of railroad and the various passes
opening to ihe intnerior which might
afford gateways for the building of
railroads from tidewater, the Alas
ka Railroad commission has return
ed to Washington to tabulate their
data and make a report to the
president.
Each of the cities visited furnish
ed the commission with informa
tion showing the advantages of their
respective lines, and out of that
mass of Information some selection j
will be made and recommended as
the most suitable for a government
road.
There are two passes which]
have about equal advantages, the
White Pass at Skagway and the
government road leading In from
Haines, either of these have ad
vantage* over all the others, for
with a trunk line built from either
of these points it could be made to
parallel the mountain range, going
westward to the White river and
thus down the Yukon to Fairbanks
The only thing that would hinder
the construction of such a road
by the government is that a part
of the route would necessarily pass
through British territory. The sen
sible thing for the government to do
would be to arrange for a neutral
right of way betweem the countries
which would be advantageous to
both By so doing a larger amount
of rich country could be opened
than by any other means, and the
rrwt of constructing a road parallel
with mountain ranges la compara
tively small Feeders could be con
structed into the various districts
along such a route which would
gather in an Immense business from
the start.

Governor ami Mr*. Clark arrived
in Juneau last Monday. The gov
ernor says he was opposed to home
rule a year ago, but now he has
seen the light and will no longer op
pose It.
Wnt. Hunt, an employe of the Al
aska Gaatineau company, working
at Sheep creek, was struck by a
falling tree last Sunday afternoon
and crushed. He was taken to the
Juneau hospital, where he died a
tew hours later. He was an Kng
llshman with no known relatives In
this part of Alaska.
Frank Weaver was drowned In

evening of Nov. 4th. Weaver and
a man named O. H. Hurlbutt start
?Hi for Cape Fanshaw In a small

while croaaing the Taku. Weaver
went to the stern of the boat to
fasten some oil cans and fell over
board Hurlbutt heard hts cry for
help and attempted to steer the
boat into the wind, when the tiller
rope broke, the engine stopped and
the boat washed ashore just below
the light. Hurlbutt escaped from
the boat when she struck and walk
ed to Doty's cove, where he found
