SM AMERICANS
IN ATEIN
Since the hlg fire at Atlin there
has been a demand for carpenters to
rebuild the town, and many started
from this locality upon hearing of the
high wages offered. Late reports
come from Atlin In the form of a
warning that no one coming from
Alaska is allowed to cross the border.
Laborers are said to be very scarce
around Atlin, and there has been an
effort from the inside to get men to
come to work at high wages. Rumor
had it that carpenters would be paid
$15 per day and on the strength of
this several went from Juneau to land
jobs. When the border line was
reached the men say that admission
was refused them without any reason |
being given, except that no aliens were ’
to be admitted unless they took the;
oath of allegiance to the British gov-,
eminent, and in addition to the oath
they were to deposit $100 for a bond,
I
Speculation Is rife as to the exact
cause of the action taken by the fan
adlan officials, but as yet no one has
been able to learn just the reason, but
the general opinion is that it is a war
move and that more recruits are
wanted to be rushed to the front.
Five or six American companies
have large holdings in the Atlin dis
trict, and the new order is preventing
them from taking crews in to work
their claims. Some of the Companies
r ■ ..—
have stockholders who will urge the
work ahead, but until the conditions
are changed it will be impossible for
much to be accomplished.
James McCloskey, of Juneau, who
has property at Atlin that he has been
working for several years, has re
ceived word not to bring a crew this
year, as they would not be allowed to
work if they ever reached there. Mr.
McCloskey says that he has decided
not to try to work his holdings this
year, and that as far as he is con
cerned there will bo nothing developed
at Atlin until the order of affairs is
changed anil Americans allowed to en
ter. Mr. McCloskey states that he
does not see how any of the compan
ies are going to develop anything this
year, as the freight rates between
Skagway and Atlin are $87 per ton,
which enormous price alone is enough
to prevent Improvements besides not
being able to bring in any laborers.
Mr. McCloskey adds that he is go
ing to leave Monday for an extended
tri)i through the states of Washington,
Oregon, California, Arizona and Ne
vada, and he says that If the rest of
the mining men follow his example
they will be better off than if they
try to go on now with the work. —

j l’.\HIS. June A postumous de
gree of doctor of letters has been con
| furred upon I’ierrc Maurice Masson,
head of the faculty of letters of Fri-j
bourg, Switzerland, who was killed in
action on April 16. Second lieutenant
i of Infantry In the French army since
the beginning of the war. Monsieur
Masson was to have presented his
j thesis on “The Religion of Jean j
Jacques Rousseau" on March 4. lte
I tained at the front around Verdun, he j
i was unable to leave his regiment on |
jthe date fixed and six weeks later he
: was dead.
Masson’s thesis contained an inter-j
'eating preface, written in the trenches, j
i
|as follows:
“It may appear impertinent or fri-!
j volous to amuse one’s self correcting j
I proofs while coming back from the j
\ advanced lines and to still think of
[ books when it Is the life of the na
tion that Is at stake. I have thought
of that more than once. We must
not, however, be scandalized to ex
cess. When my men have passed a
night on the watch In the barbed wire
entanglements and when they go tack
into their forest, they relax Into the
genius of the arts of peace; they
carve canes, design gardens, tame and
train animals, turn themselves Into
silversmiths to carve, or form jewels
, out of the shells that have missed us.
I have followed their example; I have
! not fled from the ‘diversion’ that of
I fered itself to me, and this book will j
j have been for me, so to speak, like j
jthe souvenir rings that the men carve
[in the field."
