Although the weather was very dis
agreeable there was a well attended
meeting of the Commercial Club last
night, twenty members being present
and taking an active part in the dis
cussion.
Secretary Miller read a booklet
which he had prepared advertising
Skagwa.v as a summer tourist resort
and describing the numerous side
trips to Dyea, Denver Glacier, Burro
Creek. Smuggler's Coye. Kern Kastle,
over the old White Pass trail and to
Altiri and Whltehorse. The oppor
tunities for hunting, fishing and mout
tain climbing were also touched upon.
The booklet is Illustrated with many
handsome photographs and the de
scriptive matter is most interestingly
and entertaingly prepared.
By unanimous vote the booklet was
accepted by the club and after a
general discussion a motion was un
animously passed referring the ques
tion of having the booklet printed to
the printing and advertising commit
tee. This committee will at once
call for bids and report to the club.
The cost of printing 10,000 hand
handsome copies of the booklet for
distribution will be approximately
$600. As the Commercial club at the
present time has but $330 in its
strong box the remainder of the
amount must be raised by public sub
scription.
At the meeting last night was
subscribed and it is anticipated that
the rest of the amouut can be easily
raised.
The booklet will be a work of art
when printed and it Is bound to at
tract tourists to Skagway. It will re
move much mis-information regarding
Alaskan in general and Skagway in
particular and no better means of ad
vertising the town could be devised.
The question of advertising Skag
way as the gateway to the Iditarod
diggings will be settled at the next
meeting.
Mrs. H. S. Pullen and Tony Stanlch
were admitted to membership of the
club last night.

WASHINGTON, D. C. Jan. It? Dur
ing the session of the House last
night Representative Macon of Arkan
sas made a strong fight on the appro
priation* bill for the building of mil
itary roads in Alaska and succeeded
in having the appropriation reduced
from $150,000 to $100,000.
Macon said the people of the Unit
ed States should not be taxed to bull
army roads in Alaska.
Delegate Wickersham of Alaska
and Congressman Sulzer of New York
inad<^ speeches urging that the orig
; inal appropriation be granted.
The reduction of the appropriation
means that the Alaska Road commls
sion will have no funds with which
to construct a trail to the new Idlta
rod diggings unless the Senate re
stores the appropriation to the orlg
| inal amount.
It is probable that this will be done.
Mr. Macon also opposed the appro
priation of $75,000 for the extension
of the Alaska military cable. This
| appropriation was passed unchanged.
