WILL GO
Judge Wilcoxen and Family
to Leave
I Judge and Mrs. I.N. Wilcoxen and H.
sevmour Wilcoxen, of this city, will
lea?e next week (or Seattle where they
will make their home in the futu.-e.
Judge Wilcoxeu has sold his home in
this city and made all preparations
necessary to depart on the Cottage
City next week.
In losing Judge Wilcoxen as acitizen,
Skagway loses one of its pioneers who
has been closely identified with the life
of the city since the days of 1897: the
Alaskan '>ar one of its leading mem
bers, and many citizens the association
of a valued friend.
The Wilcoxen family has taken a
leading part in Skagwav's social life
and the absence of its members from
the city will be greatly missed.
Judge Wilcoxen purchased some
Seattle property on one of his trips to
the south last year which ha3 greatly
increased in value. It is his purpose
of erecting a residence upon it and
making his home there.
"JUDGE" MURANE
WAS A POPULIST
The storv is denied that the only
experience ??Judge" Murane has
bad was In the office of police judge of
Nome, but the denial confirms the
story that he is a republican of recent
making. It is said thai he was a pop
ulist official a dozen years ago in Yak
ima county, Washington.
"Judge" Murane's republican op
ponents tell the story. They say he
had been a democrat and deserted the
democratic pat ty for the populist, re
turning to the democratic party again
in 1896. at the time o( the fusion of the
populists and democrats, and that he
left the latter party when he saw whst
be regarded as an opportunity to
become a delegate to congros from
Alaska.

THE POWER OF STEAM.
Many May Sm But It Take* Onlus to
Realize.
When James Watt saw the steam
causing the kettle lid to jump up and
down he said "There must be power in
that steam that It can lift such a
wei sh I."
There was.
Millions prior to him had seen the
same phenomenon and regarded it as
an unexplained mystery.
Recent scientific research has put ita
flr.ser on the "cause" of Dandruff. Fall
Insr Hair, and consequent Baldness, and
has unearthed a tiny serm which eat?
the life from the roots of human hair.

staking of mineral ground.
(b) By provisions requiring a specific amount of work to be per
formed on a claim before a legal record can be obtained.
(c) By the abolishment of the association claim.
(d) By a more specific definition of what constitutes a discovery of
mineral, as applicable particularly to placer ground.
(e) We favor such legislation as shall protect and maintain the
fishing industry.
(f) We favor the extension ot the present cjible and telegraph
system to all populated districts of Alaska, and the building of a public
wagon road from some point on the Yukon river to the coast.
(g) We favor the reduction of the present rate of taxation on
railroads.
(h) We favor the establishment of light houses and such other
safeguards as are necessary for the protection of coastwise shipping.

a just and equitable distribution of funds provided therefor.
