No. 213 FIFTEENTH YEAR SKAGWAY ALASKA. SATURDAY, DECEMBER <,
LADIES' NIGHT
ON BATTLESHIP
Vallejo. Dec. ? ? Another scandal
has broken out In the navy yard
circles. At the laat "ladies night"
on board the good ship Vicksburg,
there were some doings, and wine
flowed freely, and they do gay It
sometimes does on ladies nights, as
well as other nights. Anyway, the
ladles were enjoying themselves,
and under the influence of the
grape and the blossoming barley,
they grew quite mellow and friend
ly with some husbands that were
not of their own bosoms. Then
Jealousies urose. and a sort of free
for all was started in which there
was some hair, or rather rat pull
ing Then a perfect lady soaketl
another prominent and perfect lady
over the ratless coco with a com
mon, ordinary, plebeian beer bot
tle, which sent her to the shades
for an indeterminate count. She
w .is carried out of the fo'cas'l or
the hatch or wherever they stow
awuy their drunks, and taken to a
hospital, so the story says.
Now the naval board is investi
gating with a view of flndiug out
what kind of capers are being cut
up on our fix million dollar battle
ships

Yesterday we presented views of our sister city to the south, today we show Whitehorse, a sister city
to the north. Whitehorse Is located at the northern terminus of the White Pass railway, on the head
waters of the Yukon river, within a few miles of the famous Pueblo mine and other properties of the At
las Mining Co. The shipyards furnish employment to a large number of workmen, and when northern
seeds and vegetables become acclimated the valley will be prolific in agriculture. Two miles above the
city are the famous Whitehorse Rapids, entranalng in their rushing majesty.
