SKAGWAY CHILDREN
DO EXCflLENTLV
The entertainment given at th*<
Methodist church last night by Mrs
Ormsby's kindergarten class, assisted
by older talent of Skagway. was excel
lent. It was a splendid exhibition of
the talent possessed by the small chil
dren of this city and the training it is
receiving at Mrs. Ormsby's school.
The church was tilled to its utter
most capacity to witness the perfom ?
ances of the children and there were
none there but had words of praise for
them.
The program wai well prepareu and
displayed the ability of the children
I and the work that is being- done for
them to good advantage. Its arrange
ment was in itself an exhibition of good
taste.
The musical and literary numbers by I
the older people and the statuary exhi
bitions were all first-class.
| All those who participated in the
program, except Mr. Blanchard and I
Miss Springsted, including children and
adults, are pupils of Mrs. Ormsby, who
is teaching elocution as well as kinler
garten work.

SPEAKS OUT
Skagwayau Dots Not Like
Tax PItin
To the Editor:
Calling the Alaskan convention to
meet in Seattle was a bad thing to begin
with, and at tii\ t. sight it stems to t>e
the c onsumation of some Seattle boomer,
or, otherwise, of some hair-trained
Alaskan without the power of thought,
or with an utter disregard for the in
terests of the district and careless of
the injuries that will result from his
ill advised ecuon. Note how the Seat
tleite-Nome, capita ista are steering,
everything to suit themselves and the
balance of the delegates seem to be
tripping over themselves to fall into
their trap. Not only do they want the
delegate to Washington but note the
resolution introduced ;o substitute for
the assessment work required on placer
claims, a tax of to be paid into the
federal treasury. Right ihere is "the
nigger in the wood pile," for who does
that benefit, but the same class that ,
the vicious power of attorney does?
If it is ever enacted into a law it will !
be just as detremental to the welfare of
the district as is the power of attorney
iniquity. Under the present system
witb assessment work the claim grab
bers are up against the ooly obstacle
there is in the way of their owning the
earth, and if they succeed in getting
this proposed tax law subst ituted there
for they certainly will have smooth
sailing. Then the people can howl
and gnash their teeth in rage. It will
avail then? naught, for millions would
be spent to maintain it when onee in
force. It certainly passes the com
prehension of any thinking man, why
it is that when any palpable wrong is
attempted on the people they seem so ;
ready to tumble over themselves to1
ratify It. Respectfully,
A. F. Wildt.
