At a dinner at the National Institute at Sydney, Australia, on May 23rd last, Premier Fisher declared that ‘the Aus- tralian division of the imperial navy, owned, manned and con- trolled by Australians, would bought other vessels as train- ing ships to prepare Canadians for the Canadian naval service. Borden stopped the building program, and waved the Union Jack with one hand, while with the other he drove Canadians out of the naval service and tied up the Canadian training ships, the Niobe and the Rain- bow, until they are now report- ed as rusting masses of scrap iron, peopled by © skeleton crews.

Third Avenue Prince Rupert THE DAILY NEWS —_—__—_—_—__—_ OLD YUKON OUTSIDE Special Correspondence, Smithers, B. C., Aug. 9.—This new town is to be connected with the old Yukon telegraph line that runs northward for 2,500 from Ashcroft to Dawson, in the heart of the Yukon Territory, and on into Alaska, miles It is the most re- markable the continent and it has no parallel! anywhere. It links wilderness with civili- zation. What thrilling tales it has carried to the outside world of fortunes dug from the frozen creeks of the north, of millionaires made overnight, of wild stampedes to new El Do- radoes, of perilous ventures and golden discoveries, of Ulysses triumphant. Over this — single, | far-flung strand of wire has been ticked off news of death on the| trail, of disappointed hopes, of miners who perished in freezing blizzards or were swept to their doom in treacherous rapids of northern rivers in their mad rush toward the golden lure of the north. This telegraph line has romance, tragedy, triumph and despair. It has carried many a story of life and love, death, crime and new-found fortune. It has run the gamut of human emotions. It has told of heroic exploits of the Northwest Mount- ed Police, who guard the culposts of the Empire; of pursuit of out- telegraph line on —stories told laws, and the subduing of wild Indians. It has told of the peace- ful conquests of the Hudson's Bay Company, of the trek of hardy pioneers into the northern valleys—day after day it has sung the epie of the north over its sagging wires. To this sensory nerve that stretches so long a way and lis- tens for news worth = telling, Amundsen confided the fact that he had threaded the Northwest Passage, the goal of explorers since the days of the stout heart- ed Hendrik Hudson. He mushed overland the neck of Alaska from his last winter quar- ters at the mouth of the Macken- zie River to Eagle City, where he told his story to the Yukon tele- graph, and trudged back to his ship. This line will tell of Stefansson and the Ganadian expedition to the unknown northern lands. That explorer expects to send couriers to its farthest outpost across each January. It will tell again of Amundsen when he fares forth next year over the icy wastes of the Aretic on his con- templated three year drift across the Polar Sea, The Yukon telegraph has in the main followed old Indian trails. Its beginning was the line started north to link America with Europe by means of a_ cable THE ROMANTIC STORY }000 a year to maintain. TELEGRAPH LINE IT HAS CARRIED MANY A STIRRING TALE OF ADVENTURE AND DISCOVERY, VICTORY AND DEFEAT, TO THE WORLD. across Behring Strait, a gigantic project that was abandoned in {867 when the broken Atlantic cable was repaired. This work, in charge of Golone! Bulkley, of the United States army, cost over $3,000,000. Golone! Bulkley left a completed line into Northern British Columbia, spending his last winter in the fertile valley that now bears his name. n the feverish days of 1898, when gold had been found in the north, the Yukon extension was begun and later built to the Are- tic Cirele and beyond, a monu- ment to the Empire that protects its own, no matter how far afield they stray. The line has never paid and costs the Dominion igovernment approximately $80,- But this is regarded as money well spent. Along this thin thread of wire which records the conquest of the last great wilderness of North America are strung the huts of the operators from twenty to fifty mile apart.” The operator's, chief duties are the testing of the line and its repair when it breaks, for through the mountains ava- lanches, blizzards and landslides wage constant warfare on the telegraph. Falling trees lay the wires low, floods wash away the poles at stream crossings and bush fires burn them down. Heroic service is required by the lonely men in this string of cabins, who rarely another human face except twice a year when packers come with supplies. When their telegraph key fails to from the next station they forth with their repair outfit to mend the break. They are quick to meet the at- tack of fire, flood or avalanche, travelling by trail canoe in summer and by snowshoe in win- ter, intent only on keeping open this tentacle of intelligence to its farthest northern FROM VERSE TO WORSE see get a response set or outpost, Nieces of Laureate Raise Chickens in This Province, Vancouver, Aug. 9.—Dr. Rob- ert Bridges, poet laureate of England, reeently appointed by Premier Asquith to succeed Mr. Alfred Austin, has two nieces, the Misses Bridges, who have lived in Mission City for the past three years.
