At the bead Of a banquet hall at
the t*ulle? Hou*c, where two jilt
teriisc tibles reflected back choicest
viands. President O. L. Wcltwoa
ji resided last night over the Secou ?
Annual banqaet given by him to the
. niployees of the White Pav? * Yu
kon Route. There were about oue
hundred guests preoeut. and *e~e '
there front kll branches of the Whit
P:\ss system. besid?? a few frie.ids
who were invited from outside t!i?
?mice
Many were the speeches made and
many were the stories told to enliv
en the evening. In addressing t*?e
fcuosts. V ? IWckeson talked of tfae
development of the railroad and told
something of the future plans that
have been evolved for the better
ment of the system He said "th*t
t was the intention of the managj
Hmt to extend the line into Fair
banks, and taat an attempt was be
lt urgently pressed to the attention
of the president of the United States
with the object of harins that city
declared a sub-port of entry. *? thni
the White Pass boats might land
cargoes there Put in the event of
that failing he would put on a line
o< American bottom steamboats that
will ply between Fairbanks and l?*w
?on."*
Mr. Dickeaon believe* that with
the development of the copper prop
erties a king the line of the White
fuss, a smelter would be a requi la
ment in the near future. He wms
justified in saying that one would
be built in one of the three ClUos of
Stagway, Caribou or Whltehorw.
Should the smelter not be built, the
the White Pass would put on a line
of steamship* between Pujret Sound
and Skagway, which would virtually
I mean a continuous transportation
line or 2.7rt(> miles from the Sound
?to Fairbanks.
He recalled the fact that the rail
roads of the I'nited States had post
led notices asking the pul-llc to no
tify the general offices of aay In
civility on the part of employe*?.
He Raid that "such notices were not
needed by the White Pass; that
there ha* never been a single com
plaint made by a person against tfcv
courtliness and obliging civility of
one of its employees," and he waul
ed to congratulate them on being
gentlemen and able railroad ntm.
Mr. Dickeson wanted the friendship
and cO-opermtion of the men along
the line 41e said in that connection
"No enterprise. Individual or com
munity ever prospered by undertak
ing to drag down any other enter
prise. individual or community.
The musical program of the even
ing was attended to by Proffessor
Seimer's orchestra, and the table
service was most elaborately com
plete under the guiding hand of
Mrs. H S. Pullen. The Speakers
present were: General Superintend
ent V. 1. Hahn, Master Mechanic
Howard Ashley. Chi^'f Train Dis
patcher Mulvihill, Industrial Agent
