TO TEN O.CLOCK
Monty Snow, representing M. S. Whittier
and Mr. Boshardt, representing A. E. Kin
dell have been today making a canvass ot
the voters ol the city on the postmastership
question as announced last evening would be
done. They carry with them printed ballots
and a ballot box. *
This evening the ballots and the box will
be at the city hall from 7 o'clock to 10,
where any and all who wish to vote on the
question may do so. It is especially desired
that every elector ot Skagway shall be repre
sented in the ballot box.
Much interest in the contest was manifested during the
day. the interest increasing as the canvass progressed,
Mr. Whittier refused to appoint a man to represent
him. and Mr. Saow. as his known friend, was asked to
serve. To his selection Mr. Whittier said he had no objec
tion.
It is hoped to wind up the canvass tonight at the city
hall.
1 SMOKER OF ffi ELKS
Tbe loot; anticipated and much dis
cussed smoker of the Elks, was the oc
casion of a great turnout last night.
In the form of a parallelogram with one
end knocked out tbe table* stretched
the length of the big hall. The Toaafc
master, Si Tanner, and the officers of the
lodge occupied the connecting link at
the front of the stage, while all up
and down the other tables every seat
was occupied. The fun was spontane
ous from the opening and ran through
to the finish. It did cot wait for a finish
of the feast, that was spread as the
members and their gaests sat down,
but began with the order to fall to,
and law no interruption. Music, soug,
story, repartee followed fast, one upon
the other, with a diligent search going
on all the whllle for victims to be
*
levied upon for the Rood of the exohe- r,
quer us well as the general enter. ain- ,
ment. It was one of those affairs that ,
serve like holidays in the calendar or ,
road houses on a heavy trail. . The feast
was prepared after the manner of an
artist, and the smoke through which it
was viewed added to own glamour

Less than one-fourth of the area of
the territory of Alaska has been
mapped and less than one-sixth has
beeu surveyed geologically. It is
worthy of note that although nearly
half a million dollars has been spent
on Alaska surveys and investigations,
this is less than one half of one per
cent, of the gold output during the
period covered by the surveys ? -Mine?
