WAGON ROADS ARE NEEDED
TO OPEN UP DISTRICT
A pood road from some point on
the Government railroad to the
Bonnifield district is essential to
the further development of that
promising district, according to
Bert Stevens, who has just return
ed to Nenana from a visit to the
Bonnifield and Totatlanika regions
He says there are several suitable
routes that might be selected, and
any one of them would give the
mining men of the neglected dis
trict an opportunity to develop
properties which cannot now be
worked to advantage, owing to the
cost jf moving supplies to the differ
ent creeks.
Mr. Stevens points out that it
is only about 40 miles from the rail
road to the heart of the Bonnifieldr
and nearly twice that distance from
the diggings to Fairbanks, where
most of the supplies have been pur
chased in the past, and freighted in
by way of a poor winter trail. The
shorter route to the railrapd would
alford a great saving in freightage
charges and would be followed speed
ily by the development of proper
ties which are now idle.
Mr. Stevens says there is a lot
of good ground on Gold King, con
siderable on Grubstake, more on
Bonnifield creek and still more on
the Totatlanika.
Mr. Stevens, who is an applicant
for appointment as United States
marshal of the Fourth division, says
that he has secured a very large
number of signers to his petition
and believes that he has as good a
chance to land the place as and of
the others who are making the race
against him.

I MONTANA PIPE LINE GIVES
GOVERNMENT ANNOYANCE
MONTANA, Dec. 23—Profession
i al bootleggers who are declared to
; have made fortunes transporting
i liquor across the Canadian boundary
| are perturbed by news from Wash
! ington. D. C., that the federal pro
hibition enforcement machinery of
the national capital is turning its
attention to the so-called "Montana
pipe line”, according to local fed
, eral officials.
With Great Falls as the mouth of
the funnel, the "pipe line” has
.three crossings from Canada, it is
said by those in touch with the work
ings of the illegal traffic, which is
(declared to be well organized anil
; to include hundreds of homesctcad
ers. railroad men and automobile
drivers. One reputed entrance is
■ across the boundary at Sweetgrass. i
, This route follows the Great North
iern railway through Shelby, Mon
tana, to Great Falls. The whisky
| is said, to travel both by train, con
cealed in coal and other heavy
freight, and by automobile.
The principal “syphon" for the
pipe line is said to be at a point
north of Havre, Montana. A
rancher living on the Milk river,
some miles below the border, is said
to have accumulated u fortune by
transferring whisky across the river
by a home-made aerial tram at a
charge of $5 a case. From Havre
alternate means of transportation
are afforded by railroad or auto
mobile highwav to Great Falls.
The third route for the trans
porting of liquor across the line is
said to be at Portal, in North Da
kota. Confiscation of automobiles
has failed to curtail the traffic. Fast
motor cars with sheet iron plates
hung over them to deflect bullets,
now travel in bunches of three, ac
cording to prohibition enforcement
men. The front car is a pathfinder
and "trouble” hunter. It carries
nothing but a party of "tourists”.
The middle car is the carrier and
is usually loaded with as many
cases of whisky as it can carry.
The thiid car is a lookout, to pre
vent enforcement officers in faster
cars from coming up from behind.
So great has the traffic become, it
is said, and so large the quantity
of smuggled liquor been, that many
men arrested for moon.shining have
complained that the Canadian bot
tled goods can be obtained cheaper
than they can manufacture and
sell their illicit liquor.
