IN TROUBLE
Col. Pitcher Mast Explain
Ci itieism of Negroes
Col. VY. L. Pitcher, formerly a major
iu the H hi infantry, commanding the
the t.-oo( - stationed at Skagway, now
commam ng the 27th infsntry at Fort
Sheridan, near Chicago, recently made
soma ren irksabout negro troops which
heiscalKd upon hy the secretary of
war to e> plain. Col. Pitcher was dis
cussing the action of President Roose
velt in dismissing the batallion of
colored troops from the armv on ac
count of the Brownsville affair and the
rumor th.it colored troops were to be
sent to Chicago. The remarks were
published.
A Washington dispatch says there is
reason to believe that Booker T. Wash
ington is at the bottom of Pitcher's
troubles, though this cannot be es'ab
lished definitely. Still, it is known
that at a conference President lioose
velt had ? ith Washington, last week,
the nejro educator earnestly besought
him not to .Umiss the negro companies
involved in the Brownsville riot, the
president refusing to listen to the
appro).
A Chicago di.?patch savs officers at
Fort Sheridan are roiled and fear
trouble at the fort as a sequel to Presi
dent Iloosevelt's criticism of Col,
Pitcher regarding his reported inter
view as to stationing negroes at the
fort. Officers, though expressing them
selves cautiously, take the same view of
the situation as the men at the garri
son. who without exception say they
stand ready to support Col. Pitcher to
the limit.
A representative of the paper who
reported Col. Pitcher's remarks says
that the only things not reported ver
batim were some of the colonel's
strongly expressed statements that
would not look weil in print.
Col. IMtc her went from Skagway to
Fort Snelling as lieutenant-colonel of
the S^th infantry. Ke was recently
promoted to be colonel of the 27th,

Substitute for Georgia
Makes uo Appearance
There has been no mail boat on the
run ot the Georgia this month. It was
announced when the Georgia left for
Seattle to undergo an overhaling, that
the Rustler, of Juneau, would take her
place on the Skagway and Sitka runs,
ands he was accordingly advertised to
be in Skagway in time to sail on the
mornings of the 5th, 11th, 17th, 23rd
and 29tn of this month. Three of those
dates have come and gone but the
Rustler has failed to put in an appear
ance at this place.
It was said the Rustler started on the
10th, but was unab'e to stem the north
wind on the canal. Whether she start
or not for the trip last Friday has not
oeen said.
NEW DISIRICT
YIELDS $50,000
Later reports from the Kahiltna
creek in the Yentna district, back of
Cook inlet, confirms the estimate which
has been made for several months of a
season's output of $50,000. Accurate
returns are unobtainable because so
many miners who took out a few
Hundred dollars each have not come
farther than Su9itna station, where
they have invested their grubstake in
new outfits.? Seward Gateway.

ot the necessity for preparation and the

speak, "have shingled their roof in dry j

has made history acd given to us ourj

any emergency. Are you prepared to j
successfully combat the first cold you j
