A DREAM OF THE FUTURE
We never entertain morbid thoughts about the
time when we shall shuffle off this mortal coil but if we
e\er do think of that day when we must lay down the
pen and quit this Fourth Estate forever, we register a
solemn vow that we will employ every stratagem to out
wit the Grim Reaper until the international Highway, of
winch we have a cartoon today, is completed and we
have made a trip over it. Then perhaps, and only then,
van we lie down peacefully and draw the draperies of
our coach about us for the long sleep.
There is something to look forward to! There is
•something to dream about! There is something to make
the heart leap in anticipation; something to thrill the
very soul in contemplation of the glories that are to be!
What wonders are in store for the peoples of the
world when that great highway from the Arctic Circle
to the tropic forests of Mexico is one smooth and con
tinuous whole. It is practically a certainty now. Twenty
years ago the idea would have been ridiculed as a weird,
fantastic, impossible emination of a disordered brain.
Now it is a probability of the near future for the idea
has taken like wild fire and seems destined to cut thru
the many strands of red tape and preliminary clap-trap
to the end that sureys may be afoot within a few months
end actual construction not very far behind.
It is needless to speculate what it would mean to
Alaska beyond saying that it will settle and develop
Alaska bet ond the fondest hopes of the most enthusias

iNouiiiig- is impossible in tne modern advance oi uie
human rm e and so before we pass on we look forward
to the da\ when we will wave goodbye to the boys at
Circle, roll smoothly down to Fairbanks, out over the
Richardson Highway and up the Tanana, over the Can
adian Boundary, down into Whitehorse and thru Atlin,
over to Telegraph Creek and down to Hazelton and
Prince George to Vancouver and Seattle. We might
make a side trip to New York but this time we are going
the whole route so we put some more gas in the old can
and step on her for San Francisco,San Diego, thru Mex
ico and Central America to Panama where we stop for
more oil. Then on down thru Columbia, Pent, Bolivia
and Chile and finally down into Patagonia where the
wild tiibes are and a look at the Straits of Magellan.
Yes, it sounds crazy enough, to be sure, but it mat
ters not if you are getting along in years, it behooves
you to dream of it, plan for it and save for it, because
it is a dream that will come true and you will very like
ly live to enjoy it.
Senator Jones of Washington, the originator of the
“10 and 10” law for dry law violators, claims the public
press is not in sympathy with prohibition. What’s he
want us to do now, break down and cry?
Prisoners like music, opined Sourdough Bill yester
day. especially that of the opening bars.
Now that smoking by ladies no longer shocks any
one, the girls will not enjoy it half as much.
Mel Holben, local caterer, declares that his most ap
petizing dishes are inspired by music. Jazz should in
spire a wonderful new brand of hash.
In his write-up of a home talent play an Alaskan
editor commended a neighbor for his ‘‘clever impersona
tion of a gentleman.”

“FER GOODNESS SAKE!”
According to the Sberian Arctic
native belief, their women are so
far below them in the social scale
! that they do not even condescend
I to speak to them in the same
language as is used among the
; men. These natives, called Tsch
cutschi, (draw the vowels out- with j
soft intones) inhabit the North
Cape district. In other words, j
! the women speak one language
: and the men, another.
