NEW CANADIAN
PORT BELIEVED
IN NORTHLAND
GLACIER BAY SAID TO HAVE
RETREATED INTO CANA
DIAN TERRITORY.
IS MAKING A SURVEY
Would Obviate Crossing the United
States Territory at Skagway.
VANCOUVER, Sept. 18. —A dis
patch to the Vancouver Sun says
Canada may have have a new ocean
port giving direct access from the
sea to Yukon Territory, obviating
crossing United States territory from
Skagway to Whitehorse. This is
according to J. P. Forde, Dominion
government engineer who has been
to the head of Glacier Bay.
Forde said the Glacier Bay waters
now extend past the boundary line
into Canadian territory, making it
an international waterway and a Ca
nadian port. A direct outlet is feas
ible provided a route can be found
to connect with the Yukon or other
interior streams. The former ice
barrier has disappeared, Forde said.
A dispatch from Skagway states
Forde is making a survey from Lake
Bennett to Glacier Bay inan endeavor
to ascertain if a railroad could be
built from the head of Glacier Bay
to Lake Bennett and connect with
the White Pass & Yukon Route.
Activities of Coast Guard
Reduce Swedish Rum Row
GOTHENBURG, Sept. 18. (£>)—
Sweden’s rum-running problems are
rapidly decreasing, says Count Posse,
head of the coast guard service. In
previous years there usually were a
dozen vessels in rum row on the
west coast, while now there are nev
er more than two or three that need
watchink. The decrease has been
proportional on the east coast.
Count Posse points out that in 1923
the authorities confiscated 150,000
liters of illegally imported liquors,
while last year the amount fell off
to 90,000 liters. The indications for
this year, he said, are that these fig
ures will be cut in half.
This particular work of the coast
guard service is expected to become
easier when the Helsingfors conven
tion, signed recently by the Swedish
government, goes into effect. The
convention, which increases the ter
ritorial lim'it to 12 miles has been
signed by 12 states.
