Mr. Hide mmys that the new tmtl

The new tmll la about 75 per cent
better than the old trail and bus
long its entire length AbkHi
1 fin to 300 feet apart The trail Is
7f»0 to IhOII feet lower than the old
(tall and although a trifle longer will
take less time to complete the Journ
ey owing to the better traveling condi
tions as there are no moraines or
rough Ice. The trail w«h found to be
so good (hat there was no necessity
for building bridges. A relief tout
was left about i'5 tulles from McLeod s
road house, and new roadhouse* will
be established along the trull.
The freighting charge from Mc
Carthy to SuNhanna last year was
from freight to twelve cent* a pound,
and ow ing to the canter traveling over
the new trull, and to the fact that it
Is much lower, and that there will
no* be any necessity tor relaying the
freight or Unloading, the freight rate
over the new trait will be martorlnlly
reduced this winter
Mr. Kide bus done a commendable!
mb In locating and sinking the new
trail that will so materially reduce
the cost, of freighting into the fitislmn*
tm. and the Alaska Road Commission,
and Its head Colonel Richardson Is
also to be commended for their energy
and promptness in assisting the peo
ple of McCarthy and Sushanna.
CORDOVAN VOLUNTEERS
TO GO TO FRONT
George Lewis, tin attache at Slater's
restaurant Is a loyal British subject
ami shortly after the outbreak of the
ICuropoan war he volunteered his ser
vices to light for the cause of ms
country. In the last mall he received
the following reply from Brigade Ma
jor H. S. Kobln, of the 23 rd Infantry
Brigade, Vancouver, B. 11., which is
self explantory:
“In reply to your letter of recent
date; while your offer is highly appro
elated, I have to inform you that Al
ready more officers and men than will
he required for the force being dis
patched from t'anada have already
volunteered and recruiting has at pres
ent stopped.
"In view of the fact that throughout
Canada ample numbers of officers and
men anxious to volunteer for the front
are watting a chance to go, it. is con
sidered inadvisable to encourage any
one to go to the expense w coming to
Canada on the chance of being accept
ed for service,"
