SKAGWAYANS GOING TO DAWSON
Mr. H. G. Boardnian, manager of the
Guggenheim's electric light and power
plant at Dawson, starts with his bride
for tbe inside io the morning. To fol
low him and under engagement with j
him, go two of Skagway's be4t known
citizens, CUrence J. DeSerisy of the
White Pass electric plant here and.
William Canarao, who may be termed, I
in the same spirit as Roosevelt applied
it to Mr. Kiis, with regard to New
York, "Skagway's best citizen." Mr.
DeSerisy is to have charge under Mr.
BoArdman. of the electric Installation
In and about Dawson. Onavan is to be
otherwise employed, Id much the sr me
capacity as he was last summer getting
out timbers for the large improvements
contemplated by the Guggenheims.
Four sub-stations aro to be instal ed,
three big dredges aro to be connccted
up, contemplating the stringing ol it
miles of wire, a> also 30 miles of tile
phone wire. The dredges arc to be in
stalled, one on Bonanza, one on Hunker
and one on List Chance. Mr. Canaviic
may go with Mr. BoarJimo in (he
morning but Mr. DeSerisy will not gel
away bjfore the first of April, or until
his successor shall h.ivo arrived.
The tact that a city election is about
to he'd for the choice of city fathers,
has no: made much of a stir up to this
time. Whether there ar\> to be one,
two, six or tijrh: tickets in the tie d is
still a matter of doubt, fc'o far as ap
pears one might doubt that there was
was to be one. This, however, niav be
assured, there will be one, for the city
affairs must bo attended to and someone
will have to look after them An in
formal meeting of the city council was
held last evening at wMch the record
of the year's work was looked over, to
? nable the members to clean up the
odds and ends of busices* left unfinish
ed. The regular call for the election
will cot be published until, as required
by law, a few d-?ys bef ro the balloting.
This call names as judges. H. P. Gantv,
K P. Dosch. and J. Kennedy; as clerks
E. Dougherty and Dr A. W. Reod.
CULBERTSON
SELLS OUT
The negotiations which have been
under way for sotne time between Ed.
M. Culbertion and Bert Taylor and
Harold Hartwigson over sale and pur
chase of the Alaska Transfer company,
have been completed and the transfer
will take p.ace on the first of the month.
Mr. Culbertsoa has sold his I usiaess
entire to Taylor and Hsrtwigson and
Hartwigson's City tra- sfer "vill be com?
biued with the Alaska transfer com
pany uader the latter name
The City transfer with its two horsrs
and the Alaska transfer with Its s: ven,
under one bead, will, it is believed by
the new proprietors, be aole to inprove
upon a divided service.
Mr. Cu'bertson has been here in
Skagway aud in the transfer business
for about four years and the fact that
his selling out means his departure
from the city is the occasion of general
regret. He goes to engage in the fish
ing business on lower Li Barge for the
Whitehorse and Dawson trade. He will
also operate a general wood business
acd a big road hou*e at the poiat of his
fishing operation!.
