Burdens On The Road-House
One day during the summer of 1906,
I started from Fairbanks to make my
first visit to the creeks where the
wonderful Tanana mines were in oper
ation. From the then terminus of the
railroad the distance to Cleary Creek
was about seven miles. The day was
wonderfully bright and clear and there
was something so exhilarating in the
atmosphere that I determined t<3 walk
to Cleary City. I was in a frame of
mind when the dusty stage coach with
its trappings had no allurance for me.
After a walk of four miles and a
steady climb I reached an elevation
from where I could see the Alaska
Range across the Tanana Valley, 100
miles or more to the west. The view
included half a dozen or more snow
clad peakw, Mt. McKinley being farthest
to the westward. There are few places
in Alaska that command such a view
of the magnificence and grandeur of
Alaska as the summit of the Dome,
from which flow most of the gold-bear
ing creeks of the Fairbanks region.
As there was a road-house on the
trail near the summit I stopped to rest
: and quench a dusty thirst. The road
house was a large log cabin, in the
rear of which was the kitchen, where a
woman was baking bread. In the
front room was a rude bar, and a few
chairs and two or three benches where
the weary might sit and partake of
their refreshments. The most con
spicious things in this humble place
we*-e the Government licenses. They
made a big patch on the bare walls
| back of the bar. I uoticed first the
name, Martin Dani?laen; then I read on
farther, fifteen dollars for the privilege
; of welling tobacco aud cigars; just be
low this on the wall was another
license, fifteen dollars for the privilege
| of conducting a restaurant; then there
| wa? another liceuse, five hundred dol
lars for the privilege of retailing
liquors; and beneath all this evidence
of revenue paid to the federal govern
ment was tho internal revenue license
: of twenty-five dollars, making a total
of $555, tribute money that this man in
his log cabin, twenty milea from an
, incorporated town, and in a country
which but a few years before was a
wilderness, was compelled to pay to
the United Sta'es for the privilege of
; conducting a wayside inn.
To my mind there appears to be
something anomalous in these revenue
tags aud the surroundings. Here waa
a log cabin, rudely constructed, several
miles distant from the nearest habita
tion, erected by the roadside and on an
elevation commanding one of the most
magnificent views to be had in Alaska;
where vast expanse of untrodden terri
tory aud great reaches of unexplored
hill and valley, emphasized the feeling
of liberty and lack of restraint which
comes to every man when he first visits
this country; aud yet amid all these
primitive conditions our great and
beneficent government was exactiug a
quadruple toil from a citizen for the
privilege of conducting a way-side inn.
It did not seem right, it doea not seem
right now; for that matter any tax upon
j thrift, industry or enterprise does not
I 6eem right. Liceuse law may be neces
, sary in order to provide revenue. The
. exigencies of business demand things
that are not ethical; but I would like
1 to see a liceuse law which would be less
; burdensome to the Alaska road-house
keeper. ? Alaska-Yukon Magazine.
Its easy to look well if you have good
clothes, and it's easy to get good
clothes of Smallwood, at tho Beach
Store near the 300 Mill.
Bull Was a Restraining Order
A farmer living in Miami County,
ludiana, found a gang: of men putting
up telephone poles through his beet
Held. He ordered the men out, but
they would would not go, showing him
a legal document which they olaimed
gave them authority to build the Hue
wherever thay pleased. The old man
looked at the paper, thought it was
, lawful, and walked sirently away. He
went to the barn and turned a savage
red bull into the field. The bull made
for the men and they fled at top speed,
while the farmer shouted after them:
"Show him your paper, show him your
paper." This story seems to prove
that sometimes it is an advantage not
to know how to read. Though the
bull's education had been neglected, he
did his work effectively and it is hardly
likely that the telephone people will
proceed against him for assault and
battery with intent.
