Hedges, Vancouver; Irwin Mahon, Carlisle, Pa.; Wm. Hutchinson, M. 'P., and Taylor Mc- Veity, Ottawa. The company will operate a stage wagon line in summer and a line of sleighs in winter. Mr. Cornforth is an old hand at the stage coaching business and has gone over the entire ground of the projected line, and believes that when the stages are running the ���distance of 400 miles between Cariboo Crossing and Dawson can be negotiated in from three and a half to five days. It is not intended to charge anything but the smallest tolls'to vehicles using the road and not belonging to the company, as it will be easily seen that the business of the organization will be the better the greater the number of travelers who put up at the wayside inns. The stage coaches will be constructed in Concord, N. H., but the sleighs ancl other equipment will be purchased in Canada.\" way from Cariboo Crossing to White Horse arrived in Vancouver last week.' The shipment, which comprises 2,500 tons, is being sent forward. The rails will be rushed through over the line of the new railway as fast as possible, so that Iracklaying on the new line of construction may begin at once and be continued uninterruptedly throughout the winter.

If we read the resolutions arigli t the board seems content with a once a week service ' quate. between Vancouver and Victoria and Skaguay is -little enough to meet the requirements of the north. 1 The arrival of Canadian mail in Atlin .during the .past summer has been very unsatisfactory. In strange contrast mail from the United States arrives two and three times a week. There is really no, reason why Canadian mail matter should not be delivered in Atlin at least twice a week. Furthermore letters rarely arrive here in less than ten dtiys from the date of their departure. Five days is sufficient. - Postmaster- General Mulock will lose much of his reputation 'as a wise cabinet minister if a radical change is hot soon made in the northern mail service. .

He gives as a reason that the mine is very wet and. the boys are entitled to the standard rate of wages, besides he is a large owner of improved and unimproved property in Saudon, and the future prosperity of the town depends ou the class of men employed in the mines adjacent to it.

It is not necessary for us to ' inform yourv Honor ' that a large part of the population' of-this district are without means sufficient to maintain them' Jiere, or to take them to the coast. It is' from, this needy .class that most of our sick come.\" For inadequate food, scant raiment and exposure, together with the anxiety which accompany\" the life of the miner, -lead almost inevitably to a lowering of vitality and to consequent disease. It -is also ��� to be noted that most of the men iu this ��� camp are nol of the class accustomed to pioneering. -Verv few of them indeed have ever i to a point\" below the White Horse early ^next spring, then this tram- road is practically dead* properly.

They\" are therefore more susceptible to the diseases, which the hardships. and, deprivations of their life bring with them.1 . Our \"physicians have 'acted- most nobly in their care of thet sick,.,for they have in many cases given not only their professional' services but medicine _also without compensation. This,* we think, should not be required or expected of them. It appears to us to be. a very reasonable request that such a sum should be granted for the support of each indigent patient as would pay ordinary expenses, and in addition something for professional services and medicine. We would suggest ���if it be not impertinence to 'do so ���the appointment of a medical officer, at a fixed salary, ,to care for the sick, who are without.means.. - -The need of a suitable building for hospital purposes is also apparent. Many very serious cases, including four of typhoid fever, have been cared for this autumn in mi ill-ventilated cabin and a tent, 14x16, pitched about 40 feet from it. Such accommodation has made the proper supervision and nursing of patients very difficult and has also endangered the health of the nurses. A building -large enough to accommodate a dozen patients, iind with kitchen, bedroom and dispensary accommodation would cost but little, and, a large part of the cost of maintenance would doubtless be borne by the community. We would respectfully ask your Honor and your government to give this statement and request your earlv and earnest consideration. R: A.
