NOT THERE
Jnn au Will Not Be at Seat
lie Convention
According to the Juneau Disoatcti
the people of Juneau probably will not
be represented at the Seatllo conven
tion. That paper interviewed the bus
iness men of the ci;y and it s tys:
"There appears to be a well grounded .
aversion amon r Juneauites against any
convention proporting to be Alaskan
held outside of the dis'riijt but, some
take it as offensive that the matter is
being fostered by Alaskans. It is prob
able that Juneau would have been on j
hand with a strong delegation, but a ,
canvas shows that local business men
are opposed to the Seattle convention ?
on general principles."
Dance oil City of Seattle
One of the p'easantest of the dances J
that have taken place in Skagway in a
