The Best That Money Can Buy
I --- -
OFFICIAL TAKES SKAOWAV
ROUTE TO mm
One of the best evidances la the
world that the Skagway, Whitehorse
and Dawson route to the Tanana is the
only practicable way to the great
American gold camp is the fact that
people are coming from Valdez to
Skagway on their way to Fairbanks.
A. 'it. Heilig, clerk of the United
States district court, arrived in this
city on the last boat and took the train
from here Saturday morning, leaving
Whitehorse Sunday afternoon by
White I'ass' stage. Mr. Hei lifj was
in a hurry to reach his destination and
was afraid to tackle the Valdez trail.
Notwithstanding- that he was at the
coast terminus of that route to start
with, he came to Skagwav facing a
disagreeable and nasty ocean voyage of
several days that he might make the
remainder of the way in comfort rather
than to attempt to wallow through the
unbroken snow banks on the Valdez
glacier or to mush over the trackless
fastness of the Copper river valley.
WILL OPPOSE WAGON ROAD
[Special Dispatch to Daily Alaskan.]
Washington, Dec. 28? War depart
ment engineers estimate the cost of a
wagon road from Valdez to Eagle to be
$3500 per mile and the distance is given
at about 400 miles. An effort will be
made to secure the passage of a bill ap
propriating the money for the construc
tion of the road. A tight against the
bill is anticipated in the house by the
friends of the several coast to Y ukon
railroad projec's.
CONDEMNS RUSSIAN POLICY
[Special Dispatches to Daily Alaskan.]
St. Petersburg, Dec. 28? Russ, news
paper, strongly condemns the policy of
favoritism that prevails at the Russian
capital. It says:
"The time is past when it can longer
conceal the fact that this policy has
cost the government ships to the value
of more than $150,000,000 and has
brought the nation nothing but shame
and disgrace. The task that has been
assigr.ed the Baltic fleet is superhu
man."
Russia Wants Ammunition
| Peking, Deo. 28? The Russian gov
! eminent has demanded possession of
the ammunition seized by the Chinese
in the cotton shipments. It is repre
sented that the ammunition was re
quired by the Russian legation guard.
The Chinese refuse to comply with the
demand.
Holland to Give no Aid
The Hague, Dec. 28? The govern
ment of Holland announces that it will
extend no favors to the Russian Baltic
fleet at Dutch ports in the East Indies.
CZAR GIVES REFORM IKASK
(Sp cial Dispatch to Daily Alaskan.) (
St. Petersburg, Dec. 28? The czar's
long expected ukase was issued yester
day. It grants equality before the law
to all persons; grants more power to lo'
cal zemstovs; limits the rights of for
etgners in the country; makes the local
press independent, and grants better
conditions for working men. The peo
ple have been given ro voice in the law
making power of the government and
Russia will remain, as ever, an abso
lute monarchy.
