The routing of the Kuskokwim and
Iditarod matis by tray of Kobe sta
tion, is of much importance to Ne
l.ana. and there is reason <to believe ;
Kuskokwim and Iditarod residents
will hnd the new service more satis
factory than any they have received
in the past. The fart that bidders
for the contract wanted nearly ten
thousand dollars more to carry the
n»a>; by way of the Ra:ny Pass route
than the Government will pay for
the service from Kobe indicates j
that less difficulty is anticipated in!
traversing the new route. The Kobe |
route is the shorter of the two. there
are fewer hills to climb and less
snow to contend with, and with the
mail carriers making regular trips, [
all of the travel of the Kuskokwim
and Iditarod districts undoubtedly
will come this way. All that is neces
sary is for Contractor Hill to nemo i-!
strate that the route is ail that is;
claimed for it, and this he will en
deavor to do when his teams take to
the trail on the hrst of .November.
Contractor Hill is one of the mt>3t
experienced trail men in the North.
He has mushed dogs over nearly’
every trail in the country and un
der all sorts of conditions, and there
is every reason to believe he wili
make good as a mail contractor. He
deserves and undoubtedly will have
the hearty co-operation of Ner.ana
in his undertaking.

be a better delegate than our pres
ent representative at Washington.
The fact that the ''Stroller" is a
Democrat would prove a serious
handicap at the national capitol at
this time, with both branches of
Congress and the White House con
trolled by Republicans. And his op
position to the operation of Govern
ments steamers on Interior rivers,
in connection with the Government
railroad, would make him a danger
one foe to development in this sec
tion of the Territory were he to be
sussessfu! at the polls on November
7. His advocacy of “Government
subsidies to private corporations,
companies or individuals to operate
fleets of steamers on the lower
reaches of the Yukon river and
tributaries". savors strongly of
White Pass influence, and The
News believes it voices the senti
ments of every real Alaskan wl en it
states that a return of that foreign
octopus would not be welcome under
any conditions.
The News hopes that Interior
Alaskans will unite at the polls on j
election day and give their solid
support to Delegate Sutherland, not
only because he is making good at'
Washington, but also as a means of j
expressing approval of the plan to!
operate the steamers General Davi?
and Genera! Jacobs in connection1

William McAdoo, who was secre
tary of the treasury under a large
part of the Wilson administration,
demonstrated during the several |
years that he held office, that he is'
a very able man. and there is no I
doubt he would have found a way1
to finance the soldier bonus had the
occasion arisen before he retired.
Bit; his criticism of the present ad
ministration seems rather unwar
ranted in view of the extravagant
manner in which the previous ad
ministration piled burdens upon the
taxpayers. If it is right that the
bonus should be paid the Demo
crats should have had the money
ready for the boys when they left
the army.
