President O. L. Dlckeson arrived
In the city last night after a few
days spent In Wliltehorsc where ho
locked after the dispatching of tho
new White Pas# boats on their maid
ei trips down the river.
Mr. Dlckeaon says that the Alas
ka sailed with all her passenger and
freight space taken, at five o'clock
on the mornhiK of June 14th nnd ar
rived at Rampart yesterday at 8:30
o clock, a. ni., a distance or 1080
miles, at which place she was 7'J
miles behind the boat of a rival com
pany which left 36 hours previous.
Figuring a continuance of llko
speed, the Alaska has by thin time ;
passed her rival and is leading her
oy a long distance to the goal at !
Fairbanks.
A atop of twelve hours was made
at Dawson and seven other stops, '
ranging from one to six hours In du-i
ration, were made at various points
on the route to Hampart.
The freight rates on the White
Pass line have been very materially
cut, which will give the Independent
merchants an opportunity to compcta
and aid lu the development of the
country. Whllo the passenger
rates remain the same, the new
fast service Is tantamount to a ma
terial reduction by reason of the fart
Hint passengers can go through tho |
country from a week to fifteen days;
quicker than formerly.
Speaking of the tourist business
he said it promises to be increased
at least fifty i>or ???? U,V1 i"u"uus
years, which Is sure to help Rkag
way; already tho company having ro>
reived 850 prospective passengers
for the round trip, which, If the us
ual number take advantage of the In
qulrles, two-thirds of them will conu
to Alaska through tho Chicago tour
ist management this season.
Another of the promising featured
of the White Pass system, is the ad
vances being made for the develop
ment and output of the Pueblo
mine. While at the mine Mr. Dlcke
son authorized the employment of
75 additional miners nnd they wilt
bo put to work as fast as they can
be procured. Tho capacity of the
sleeping quarters are to be doubled
and work has already started on
six now houses which are to be per

their families. These houses are to,
be equipped with hot and cold water

bubbling day and night, always
throwing out refreshing coolness to

Skagway as soon as the order can
lie filled.

Is also up for consideration by the
school board, and there Is every pro
bability that a bubble fountain will
be included In the improvements
plans.
These fountains are certainly de
sirable from a hlglenlc standpoint.
Most of us remember tin- time during
our early school years when the
kids all drank from the same old
?Upper, and it was always our turn
to come In drinking rotation Imme
diately following a knock-kneed ur
chin with the glanders. Most of us
had a purer thirst then than we now
have, and did not mind it so much,
but the children of today have been
better reared than the former gen
eration and they do not take kind

and delicious and they have the old

particular except In the matter of
poetry. Another one on Broadway
would not come amiss these hot
days. The bubble fountain has a
moral influence, too; a person who
has just soaked up a half gallon of
Dewey l.ake water Is not so apt to
seek stronger beverages.
modern throughout.
These with club and reading room
will represent an expenditure of
nearly $20,000 for the season's im
provements. Other houses will be
constructed as rapidly as men with
families can be secured to take per
manent situations at the mine. For
the purpose of inducing families to
come, a special reduced rate Is be
ing made on household furniture for
their employes.
