Riiii9 Do Not Trouble Skag
way as Others
That^the rainfall at Skagway is less
than at any of the other Southeastern
Alaskan towns is conceded by all, but
it is doubtful if it is generally known to
what extent that Is true. For the pur
pose of comparison, last month presents
a striking illustration of the point.
The rainfall at Ketchikan last month
is given by the Ketchikan Journal a?
having been 17,50 ioches.
The raiDfall for Skagway for October
was 5.36 inches. The rainfall was the
highest for one month that has fallen
here in some time.
The anual rainfall at the other towns of
Southeastern Alaska is above 50 inches
in each instance and in some of them it !
goes up to twice that.
The record at Skagway for the last i
three years is as follows:
1903 ? 24.54 inches.
1904?22.54 inches.
1905?17.28 inches? less than one
month's record at Ketchikan.
The record for 190t> has not bfcen
completed. Up to Nov, 1st it was 19.31
inches? an exceptionally wet year it
has been too.
These figures include melted snow as
well as rain.

dances to suit everybody's taste.
Gov. W. W. B. Mclnnes, of Yukon
territory, is in Skagway ou his way to
Ottawa where he will work in the in
terest of his territory during the win
ter. Among the things he will attempt
to do is to get Karl Grey, governor
general of Canada, Sir Wilfrid Laurier,
the premier, and other influential mem
bers of the government to visit Yukon
next summer. He will also give his
attention to the concessions which have
caused the people of the Yukon so
much anncyance,
Gov. Mclnnes says he is afraid that
Earl Grey will not desire to come north
this year as he visited the far west last
summer, but that Sir Wilfrid will like^
ly come.
William Templeman, minister of
inland revenue in the Laurier cabinet
and said to be slated for the position of
minister of mines, will be invited to
spend a portion of the summer at Daw
son and it is believed that he will accept
the invitation.
Gov. Mclnnes will endeavor to get
more governmeat geologists to come
north this jear than ever come before,
and he will work' for an improvement of
the mail service. He will also do what
ho can for the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific
expo sition.
In all things that are desired for the
Yukon Gov. Mclnnes and Dr. Thomp
son, member of parliament, will work
together. They are in harmony on all
matters that concern the Y ukon.
Before leaving Dawson Gov. Mclnnes
was given a banquet by the citizens of
that place which is said to have been
one of the most enthusiastic affairs that
ever took place in that town, and ab
solutely the most unanimous. Every
body who did not speak his confidence
in and esteem for the governor cheered
his name.
Gov. Mclnnes is at the Fifth Avenue
hotel and will leave tomorrow night on
the Princess Beatrice.
