PROM WASHINGTON to
McCarthy direct
Business, first, last and all
the time, is the chief character
istic of the newly appointed Gov
ernor of Alaska, who paid usa
high compliment last Wednesday
by sparing three hours of his
valuable time for a visit to this!
little town while touring this
Division.
This is the first time that
such an honor has been shown
us, and it is difficult to realize
that here is a man, who has come
direct from the President, leav
ing him less than two months I
ago, and is making a personal!
tour of Alaska, his object being
to come in close touch with the
people, and no hamlet is too
small to visit.
Surely we have reason to feel
that a brighter day has dawned
now that the high executives are
taking an interest, and perhaps
some of our dreams of the open
ing up of our wonderf ul country
will materialize.
The News will continue to en
deavor to assist in that material,
ization and it may be, that, as in
the fable of the Lion and the
Mouse “small means often help
to accomplish great things. !
One of the guests at the din
ner to the Governor on Wednes
day had been in Alaska 27 years.
F. W. Sommer was unable to
be present at the dinner, as he
was required to be on hand at
the Depot to receive train orders
to insure the Governor’s auto a
clear track to (Jhitina.
John E. Barrett arrived in
town from the Green Group on
Wednesday, just too late to at
tend the dinner, a fact which
was regretted by himself and
by the Club.
Our local repiesentative, J. H.
Murray, was not able to pay his
respects to the Governor, as he
is at his mining property on
Young creek., and could not be
communicated with in time.

The Alaska Road Commission
survey party recently made a
survey for a suspension bridge
over the Salchaket river about
half a mile above Munson’s
roadhouse.
Through the efforts of Coun
cilman Robert Lowe the Depart
ment of the Interior has been
prevailed upon to allow oil stam
peders to Fort Norman to record
their claims in Whitehorse, sav
ing a long expensive trip to Ed
monton. The Yukon route is
much closer than any other and
it is believed the present sum
mer will see much travel.
