MRS. KELSEY, Prop.
SKAGWAY CLUB
Tho visit to Skagwny of Mrs. Jatnes
B, H uin Op president of tho Federated
Women's clul s of Callforn a is remem
bered with pleasure by those who had
tho pleasure of meeting her. She has
returned to hor home in Oakland, Ca).
This appears In tho Oakland Enquirer
of August 22, under the head of "Mid
summer Days in Women's Club Ciroles:''
Away off there, lltorally the northern
end of the wcrld. Mrs. Hume found a
woman's club, and a brisk, sincere and
most admirable little organization too,
proving again that when "woman will,
she will" circumstances to the coutrary
notwithstanding. That interesting lit
tle organization of women blazing the
way for clubdom Id Alaska, is io Skag
way. By a happy chance Mrs Hume
reached there opportunely to attend
the first an .iversarv celebration of the
club, and the members wore delighted
to have tho president of the California
Federation as the guest of honor at the
club's birthday luncheon The feast
ing was held at the home of one of the
members and each member contributed
to the menu some delicacy for which
she is particularly famed among her
friends. A surprising feature of the
far northern country to the visitor from
the south is the wealth of floral beauty
in tho Alaskan gardens. The cluh
luncheon table was lavishly adorned
with beautiful blossoms In a wonderful
variety and profusion, to bo noted evon
by the v si tor from tho lam! of sunshine
and flowers.
"J heir club means much indeed to
those women," said Mrs. Hume in re
counting the de'ight of her visit in the
Skagway club. "There is little is that
isolated country to fill the lives ol
woiiien of their mentality, and as their
club president expressed it 'To iospire
them to something above the frying
p.iu,' so the women of the Skagway
club relieve the monotony of an eternal
piactico of domestic economy with
study aionj; many lines for the preven
tion of an utter nientnl stagnation."
The Skagway club is anxious for the
help of federation and would be happy
to enlist under the banner of the (Cali
fornia Federation. But such course is
of course impossible. However the
General Federation is open to the AN
nska organization and it will probably
be enlisted at the earliest possible time.
Mrs F. B. Wurzbacher is the president
of the Skaffway Woman's club.
TIE TOWN
OT INNOKO
The first issuo of tlio Innoko Miner
gives thi9 pen picture of the town of
Tnnoko:
Innoko. the supply center of the tn
noko district, is situated at the junct
ion of the Innoko and Ditna rivers,
.ibou*. 250 miles from tho mouth of the
Innoko, and 25 miles above the Indian
village Diskaket.
It can at all times be reached by
steamers of light draft, and during the
UMial stage of water most anv l>oat on J
the Yukon river could easily teach
this point.
The site is ideal for a large city. It
is a Jarge level tract on a high cut
ban', weH drained and is heavily tim
bered with spruce and birch.
Iiy the winter trail Innoko is only 50
(tiles from the diggings, and the trail
i a-i very easy graces.
Tin city is blessed with fine drinking
wu'er and good drainage, insuring the
health of iig inhabitants.
In appearanco Innoko, resembles
Fairbanks, as tho river in front of the
city makes a long bend which brings
the whole of First avenue in view from
ar.y j oint on the stroet.

:: The Stranger Girl.
(Oriulnal.]
A young girl uot over seventeen
years old entered a Russian village
and Inquired for conveyance to tlie
nearest railway station. There ijy
In her face none of that free ffrlm
care look natural to girls of her aire,
but a serious, resolute expression as
though she were Intent upon some
great purpose. She had no baggage
except a leather traveling lug. which
was noticeable, for she was fcit of the
peasant class, who are often too poor
to have any clothes except those on
their backs, but onoof an intermediate
people between peasant and noble.
It happened that there had been a
wedding In the village, and the groom
was al>out to take bis bride to Ills
farm some versts away. The Journey
lay in the direction of the railway,
and It was agreed that the stranger
girl should Ik? permitted to accompany
the bridal party and be driven on be
yond the groom's farm to the station
Several friends of the young couple
were going to see the bridal couple to
their new home. Just as they were
about to start a man entered the
sledge without an invitation. The
grooui objected, whereupon the man j
showed the badge of a government of
ficial, which silenced any further re
fusal.
It was In the springtime, but the I
snow had not yet melted. The air was |
cold and penetrating, and the travel
ers were all wrapped in fur robes.
But they were a gay parly, cracking
their Jokes and charting the newly mar
ried couple. Only two persons sat
mute the government official and the I
stranger girl though their rigid de- 1
meanor had no effect In dampening
the spirits of the others. Hut present
ly, on coming to a wild tract that they
were obliged to cross, they suddenly
ceased their merriment. From the
forest came a sound muffled by dis
tance. but none the less terrible? a
sound known only too well to the oc
cupants of the sledge as the distant
baying of wolves. The horses threw
up their heads In fright, then set off I
at a gallop. The groom reached down
under the seat and, not finding what
he looked for. turned pale.
"The arms!" lie exclaimed. "Where
are they?"
He looked at his young men rricm'
successively. None line! put In the
weapons. Kach bad expected sonic
one else to ilo so. Tlie.v lind l>eon left
behind.
Presently from the right and rear n
dark mass came through the trees like
black water pouring In before a rising
tide. There It joined on the road and
became a pack of wolves. There was
but one weapon In the party, and that
belonged to the government official
It was a revolver with sl\ shots In lis
chambers. Its possession could not be
considered a chance -It was hardly
even a hope. Its owner drew It.
cockcd It and when the wolves came
within range tired at the leader and
rolled him over. A few of the pack
pounced upon the dead wolf, while
the rest came on. The official fired the
six shots at Intervals, with each shot
killing a wolf, and when he had done
this he had finished his defense. The
party were at the mercy of the wolves.
Though the horses were tearing along
at frantic speed, the wolves were
drawing nearer every moment. When
they had come to a distance of about
fifty feet the stranger girl rose from
her seat, oi>ened her satchel, took out
a steel ball the size of an orange and,
poising It In her right hand, said:
"I give my life to save yours. This
man," referring to the government of
filial, "will see that 1 di-ap|>ear from
(he world. The stroke I Intended for
i tyr-.-it heaven wills shall go only to
"i pac k of wolves."
S!:e threw the ball deliberately, and
It came down near the center of the
pa k. There was a flash, an explosion.
>nd where the wolves had been was a
at ant spot around which carcasses
lid bits of carcasses were spread on
snow as If buttered with a huge
.nlfe. A few lay moaning In agony,
while a few more limited or dragged
heiuselves away.
The party had been saved.
All turned to the stranger girl, the
Y.ide and her girl companions throw
ing their arms about her, the men seiz
ing her hands and covering them with
Ulsses. Then, when they had given
."nil expression to their gratitude, they
titrrei to the government official, who

I "What Is your intention with regard
I to our preserver?" asked the groom.
"She Is my prisoner."
I "Inf. rm on her at your peril!"
I "If 1 don't Inform on lu>r I will Ik? at
n peril equal to any you can Inflict. She
was r? ported as being in correspond
ence with revolutionists at the capital
I was sent by the minister of the In
terior to shadow her. If I fall to re
port her I will lie arrested, taken to
St. Petersburg and executed."
"Friends," said the groom, "this girl
has given us our lives by killing a pack
of wolves. Is It not our duty to give
her hers by killing this man whose life
means her death?"
"It Is." responded every voice.
It was determined to bind the man
to a tree and leave him to the wolves,
but the stranger girl would not con
sent. Then upon consultation It was
decided that after leaving the others
at their destination the men of the
party should take the revolutionist be
yond the border. They consented to
spare the life of the official on his
agreement to go with them, never to
return. lie gladly accepted the terms,
and after reaching the farm and an
Impressive farewell to the stranger

Us new course. The party reached
the border and passed It In safety.
