! So much Interest was awakened In the New York Sun's "appreciation" of
I the SkaRway Daliy Alaskan, referred to on Saturday, that the entire review Is
| deemed well worth reprintlnp in full, as a curiosity, tho same spirit Id fact t hut
|| prompted the Sun, on Its pan, to make the revlow. It follows:
I
WHAT IS GOING ON IN SKAGWAY
A copy of tho Daily Jlatkau, pub
lished at Skagway. bearing date of Sat
urday, August 15, throws some interest
ing light on the cotiditious of life in the
far north Territory. The local Item
most prominently displayed on the
front pane reports the completion of
the largest tlume in the world and tho
Intention to start the water through It
on Sunday, August Ifl. Tillable flume
was built to supply tho Porcupine
mino; it is ti,280 fcot long, :i8 feet wide
aiid 8 foet deep. It containg .'{,00(1, (XX)
cubic feet of lumbor and cost fcMO.OOO.
This, with some miscellaneous facts
about the Porcupine mines, Is told in
COO words under a double column head
ll-e in letters an inch high.
Of almost equal importance Is an in
terview between a Sitka citizen and a
bear. It is told as follows:
"Sitka. August IS.? Captain Kn Thornton.
with the launch Wauhash. arrived here to
day from Rodman. hrlnglnir in W. (i. llov
xo.v, who was out prospecting In thai section
and met wtth a U>ar. The encounter will
Into history as one of the greatest tioar tights
of this section. ltOYTOX was vrry badly used
up. Ho has no less than llfty wounds mid one
eye was torn away, tic was In tho woods
alone for a wi-ek after tho encounter N-fore
being found, lie Is In the hospital here and It
|s believed will get well."
The postponement of a ball game is
atiDouDcoJ thus:
"On account of the Impossibility of assem
bling the players here and the aliseneeof the
chief boosters for Fori Sew ard at this time
thy hall game to have lieon played here to
morrow has been postponed until Sunday of
next week."
On the editorial pa^e wo get a glimpse
of Territorial politics. They have just
had an election for delegate to Con
gnss, and there is n good deal of bitter
ness over it. Returns are slow in com
ing in, but they are pleasing to the
Alaskan as appears in this pungent
paragraph:
"The more returns wo (ret the bigger grows
the vote for WtCKIHSllAM and the wider the
breach between him and Cokson. Corson
has now dropped hack anions the 'also runs.'
Cuil.nciHl. the unknown miner from Nome. Is
now t he 'ot her candidate.' '.'
By way of explaining what happened,
the Alaskan also prints the following,
which It credits to the Whitehorsc
Star:
"Tin- rrsult of the AlasK.1 Coiicrehsional
election and WickkksiiamV majority of up
w aril of i.ooo volrs Is gratifying to all who
have known Mim' Wickekkiiam for twenty
years, as has the editor of the Star. Wickkii
sham Is a tfood fellow anil we congratulate
III III. COHSON Is a good fellow anil we extend
to him onr distinguished eouimlseratlon.
"WiCK* hsiiam's election was not duo to his
'almighty' popularity. Cowos'n defeat was
not due to his unpopularity. He was not un
popular. Ills defeat was ilur to the fael that
he was the I'andlilate of (iovenior llOfliiATT
anil uiidoulne<lly Hoogatt Is the most un
popular man In Alaska. He Is a mlsflt of the ,
rankest kind and Coupon's defeat and Wick
eitsiiAM's election constitute a direct slap In
the face of Houcatt from the free-born
voters of Alaska."
The editorial pajje also contains the
news of the Yukon River Meet acil the
church news, Under the latter heading ;
th* services of a Roman Catholic and n i
Presbyterian chutch ?re announced.
The fleet news is a follows:
"Upstream? Casca arrived at 1:30 I'. M.ycs- !
terday.
"Downstream Bonanza King passed lower j
Leliarge at 3 A. M.: t'asca left Whitehorse a
3 A. M. and passed lower Litharge at 7 A. M. j
"Next sailing Dawson. Sunday."
The third pace la decorated with a
pictorial heading "In Society." Thej
picture shows a lady reading, presum
ably the Alaskan. There is a long ac- i
c >unt of a l';i00 party complimentary to !
Mrs. J. W. Garvin,*' which was given I
, by Mrs. George Rosenberg on
; Thursday afternoon. It is intcrestinj;
; to note that "the pretty home of Mrs
: ROSENBI'RG was tastefully decorated in
j yellow and purple, the color scheme
j being cirried out with Skapway flow
i ets " Another item tells of a dinner
' piven by Mr. and Mrs. E. J. SllAAV in
I honor of some out of town eues's. The
house and table were decorated with
red and white sweet peas. Then there
is a wftek end excursion of a score of
gentlemen and ladie9 to Bennett. It, is
not so very unlike life near at hnnd,
even to the flowers.
The fourth anil last pane has a iwo
column display head over the news thai
t ho While Pars and Yukon Railway
had resolved "to cease work on the
spur over the hill to the mines." The
miners, It appoars refused to guarantee
Hufllclent tonnage. When they come
to time tho road will be built, says
Presidents. H. Gravks on the evo of
sailing on the Princess Beatrice. We
now quote:
"The Tien will leave almut <>:S0 o'clock this
evening with tin- party going to attend the A.
It .dance at 1 1 a Iik'h. A very pleasant time Is
promised. A nutnlierof ladle* will be ?' tlie
l>arty. All A. It.* and lady friends in In
vlted.
"Mr T.rmn of Dawson went south on the
Princess Beatrice. He Is taking out an ex
hibit to the Toronto exhibition.
"The Skagway Iioys ami gl.ls will turn their
?hlnlng morning faces toward scltool once
more on Monday. The loiu' summer holiday
ends today.
"Miss Evaxsox. wlio came up a few weeks
aco as a tourist but who found so much to
occupy her In her line? stenography that sin
has remained through C:e session of court,
left for the south on the Dolphin.
"Mr* Tad lln.i.iitT became the mother of a
lieautlful haby irlrl at exactly 5 o'clock this
morning. Dr Hkawaxp reports mother, baby
and Tap n* being In excellent form and de
lighted. Their many friends an- pleased."
About two-thirds of the paper Is
taken up with advertising matter, and
it is not the least interesting part. It
shows an odd mingling of advanced
civilization with primitive conditions.
Sandwiched in between a tailor's and a
dressmaker's advertisement, just Hke
New York "ads," on the first page,
there Is a double column display with
this appeal in huge letter*:
"Raspberry Pickers Wanted Gaxtv and
rilAXOSON."
Jot el and eating house cards arc
very numerous. Here Is one:
"The Pack Train Re*taurant will serve wine
with dinner orders, free In place of tea or cof
fee. Come on hoy*."
Tho Hoard of Trade cafe boasts of it?
Charcoal Broiler (with capitals)
''This," it assert, "is the only K-stern
apparatus in uso In the West," and it
guarantees to Skagway patrons a de
licious, juicy steak or chop, broiled in a
manner to suit the taste of the most ex
act!' g epicure."
Saloon advertisements are About as
numerous as the eating house kind.
One reads: "Sally in our alley and get
the real goods at the dear old Board
of Trade. Knglish billiard* and pool
parlors in Tuck's Alley." The Trail,
the Whitehorse and others have large
display Hnnoun -ements.
I. iKt'TA advertises that he if a "re
fracting optician," seemingly a case of
the yel'ow peril. The Committee on
Public Works and Property advertises
for bids for lighting tho fire houses and
City Hall. In another column the
Pacific and Aictic Kailwav and Nari.
cation Company advertises an electric
light service. Carpenters are wanted
at Fort Kgbert at Jt? ? day of eight
hours and helpers at &T>. Some one
thinks it worth while to advertise the
loss of a pearl bandied pockctknife: and
Dan Sky promises "prices to justify
having your shoes repaired."
The White Pass and Yukon Route
has the only railroad advertisement.
Th-re is one train each wav daily for
White Pass, Log Cabin, Bennett and
Caribou. Warning is given that "Pas
sengers must be at depots in time to
have Baggage inspected and checked.
Inspection is stopped 30 minutes before
leaving time of train."
There are numerous steamship ad
vertisements, both river and coastwise,
and great pains are taken to set forth
I the luxuries of the lines, such as bath
| rooms, steam heate ' cabins and electric
lights. A-dlligent search of the col
umns fails to reveal anything in the
way of a theatrical advertisement.
The Alaskan h?s four pages of six
columns each. The paRe is about two
thirds the size of ours. It it is well
printed and the proofreading is remark
ably careful. It i* now in Its eleventh
year. L. S. Kf.LI.ek is the publisher,
and to him and bis far northern estab
lishment Thk Sun extends its best
wishes and the assurance* of its distin
guished consideration.
