TO THE PUBLIC
During the month of October tliej
undersigned, for the purpose of inu
tual instruction and practice, organiz- ;
.ed what is known as Reed's orches
tra, in conjunction with Miss Cos
tello, who has since left, the town'
and heon succeeded by Fred Rosen
berg. In order to obtain results, ne
cessity demanded that we practice
often and regularly and confine our
selves to our own little organization.
We are not holding ourselves aloof
from other musicians through arro
gance or to disparage them nor do
we attempt, to maintain for ourselves
any peculiar merit. Hut we are mu
tually dependent upon each other for
our respective progress. While we
will at all times gladly furnish our
services for a reasonable compensa
tion to any who may desire them, it
is not our purpose to in any way in
terfere with the affairs of other mu
sicians. There are not sufficient mu
sicians in Skagway to permit the
chartering of a union and the state
ment which lias been circulated
through the town t<> the effect that
we are endeavoring to organize ;i mu
sician's iinflfn is not only untrue but
ridiculous.
