TOWN TREASURY
MOST DEPLETED
Skagway is far from being flush
financially. In fact, the municipality
. decidedly shy on real money and
faces the prospect of being broke be
fore many more moons have elapsed.
/ present there is $l,til4.t!l in the
reasury. There are warrants out
: aiidiiiK amounting to $1.(5SS. There
s also one warrant for $3,000 which
s due Mrs. M. McLellan .March I.
Phis money was borrowed from her
ome time past.
The only available assets are the
ll'iis taxes. About $2,800 of this
money has been paid in and only
? !|S"i? is available. The bills are
uounting up every day and it's hard
> see where the money that makes
lie mare go Is coming from. Per
aps some solution of the problem
will be found at the meeting of the
own council next Monday night.
A. 0. DANCE WAS
ODEAT SUCCESS
The annual Sourdough dance given
last night by the Artie Brotherhood
was successful in every respect.
About forty couples- were present,
practically all in sourdough costumes,
the hall was decorated in a manner
befitting the occasion, the music was
good, and all present enjoyed them
selves thoroughly.
?Indue H. It. LePevre sang his cele
brated Siwash song and several reci
tations were given. The music was
furnished by George Patrick. Will
lilanchard and Monte Snow. A min
iture log cabin erected within A. B.
hall made the sourdough Illusion real
istic. Souvenirs were given to all
present.
The Jefferson of the Alaska Steam
ship company arrived in Skagway at
6:10 o'clock yesterday morning with
2G passengers. 100 tons of freight and
::i horses and left at exactly noon
yesterday with 10 passengers and *'> |
tons of freight.
