FROM ALASKA TO
WESTMINSTER
There was a very cosmopoltan com
pany at the "Cumberland Stores,"
Beak-street, W., on Thursday evening,
when Mr. George Mowl, of the Skag
way Commercial Club, Alaska, met
with a very hearty reception on his
visit to England. The torrid heat
In the Weet End seemed to be temp
ered by the breezy spirit that em
anated from the disciple of Alaska,
who had traveled 9.000 miles upon his
visit. A supper party had been ar
ranged by the "Ben Laws Committee"
and after a splendid repast served
up by Host Axtmann, Dr. Darby oc
cupied the chair at the subsequent
proceedings. In proposing the health
of Mr. George Mowl and the contin
ued prosperity of the Skagway Com
mercial Club, he referred to the great
posibilities that were full of promise
for the emigrant, and the good hand
of fellowship that their guest held
out as a member of the Arctic Bro
therhood, and one who was fully ac
quainted with the commercial life of
Alaska. The toast was Joyously recei
ved with musical honours.
On rising to respond, Mr. Mowl
was greeted with enthusiasm. He
thanked Dr. Darby and the committee
for their spontaneous action in receiv
ing a man from Alaska, and dwelt at
length upon the tremendous strides
that Skagway, with only 1,400 souls
population, had made during the re
cent years. He describde the move
ments in trade, the social side of the
Skagway environment, and was proud
of the spirit prevailing in England
towards the American nation, and he
would take away with him to the Pa
cific Coast many pleasant recollec
tions of his visit. Mr. Mowl present
ed the company with a charming sou
venir In the form of a booklet pre
pared by Dr. Keller, editor of the
"Alaskan Daily," and resumed his
seat amidst loud applause. The har
mony of the evening was contributed
lo by Monsieur Paul, whose "Gay
Parlslen" won great approbation. Mes
dames Tucker and Graham well ex
pressed their desires in a musical
duet, "Off to Alaska." and on being
encored gave "In Darbyland" with
great efect. Captain Royle was happy
with "The Greenhouse" and Madame
Axlman was charming In the mono
logue "On to Lucerne." The com
pany was a troroughly representative
one, amongst those present be
ing Colonel Kopp (Austria) Mr. and
Mrs. Palmer (Plymouth), F. Hess
loche (Baden), Herman Revery (Han
over), Mr. Clem (London and Notting*
ham), and Mrs. Stone.
After singing the National Anthem
the happy gathering separated at a
late hour. ? Westminster Express.
TRAMP TOUCHES
TUCK'S TILL
While Johnny Wise, the bartender
at the Board of Trade Saloon was
serving a drink to a party in one of
the boxes last night, the cash regis
ter was robbed of $72.00 in cash.
Tuck Flaharty, the proprietor of th
Board of Trade, left his place of bus
iness shortly after 11 o'clock, there
being no one in the place excepting
the party in the box.
For a time Tuck looked upon the
theft as a Joke, thinking that the
money would be returned, but as this
has not been done, he stated to a rep?
resentative of the Alaskan, that he
would take steps against the person
taking the money, as he knows who
did it.
Thomas Vaughn, of Atlin, who has
been suffering from a dislocated
shoulder for 3 months yesterday un
derwent a successful operation which
was performed by Dr. Gable assisted
by Dr. Brawand. The dislocation
was of the compound sub-clavicular
variety and various attempts have
been made to reduce the dislocation
without success, before he arrived
in Skagway.
John Meiggers, commonly known as
"Gardener John" was a passenger
south on the Princess last evening
enroute to San Francisco, where he
will in future reside. For 14 year9
Mr. Meiggers has been a resident of
Skagway, and since he first planted
rhubarb in his gi rdei* in 1897 he has
supplied the tables of Skagway with
the best there was to be had in
garden truck.
Through the kindness of a number
of friends, George Maury was placed
aboard the Princess May last i.lght
with a through ticket to St. Paul
where he fo sent that he may be
with his mother and two sisters who
reside in that city.
This ends a residence In Skagway
which begun in 1902.
For many years Mr. Maury was
employed in the W. P. & Y. shops
as a machinist, and had the reputa
tion of being a first class workman,
but like many others In the Northland
through the frailties of human nature
his health began to fall and for the
past several months he baa been a
total wreck and a burden on his
friends.
At last realizing that his brain
and eyesight had become affected,
his friends raised a purse of nearly
one hundred dollars and sent him back
to his relatives, that he -may have
loving care during the few remaining
years he may have to live.
WILL INSTALL
NEW MACHINERY
C. C. Griffith, of Youngstown, O.,
will be a passenger for the interior
on tomorrow's train.
Mr. Griffith arrived in town on
the Ramona on her last trip and has
been spending the Intervening time
in hunting and fishing in this vicin
ity.
When seen by a representative of
this paper, Mr. Griffith stated that
he was the general manager of the
Alaska-Ohio Mining Company, with
mines on ElDorado Creek, While
River District, He is making the
trip Into the workings for the pur- j
pose of inspecting the year's work,
and to make preparations for install- 1
ing a hydranllcklng plant on the
creek. When questioned about this
year's work, he said that he was un
able to state Just what had been j
done, but the results had been very
satisfactory, "in fact," he said "the
encouragement we have had thlsi
summer Justifies the Installing of a
good plant, and we will lose no time
in putting It in."
Mr. Griffith will be inside about
30 days, and expects to return to
the States by this route.
