a conference with Secretary of the ,
Interior Railing* In regard to the J
charges made by Glfford Pinchot In i
connection with the Alaskan coal
land frauds and the water power
rights In the west. President Taft
has decided to take no radical action,
but to smooth over the affair.
Itallinger will not resign and Plnch
ot will also retain his position as
chief forester.
The Skagway Commercial Club will
hold a regular meeting at 8:30 o'clock
tonight at the town hall for the pur
pose of discussing the progress al
ready made and formulating plans for
the future for the future work of the
organization. Several committees are
expected to report tonight.
The club already has quite a sum
of money available for whatever pur
pose the club may see fit to devote
itt. The past few meetings of the
club have been well attended and the
i officers are especially desirous that
there be a good turn out tonight
1 The question of the daily mail serv
ice between Skagway and Haines will
be brought before the postal authorl

When the City of Seattle sails
routh she will have on board seven
Indian* who are going to Seattle to
trive their native songs and dances
on the '"Pay Streak" at the A.-Y.-P.
exposition. The Indians are in charg J
of Mrs. Alice Staples, the lecturer;
on the excursion steamer Spokane
this year. An eighth native will be
picked up at Juneau.
The Indians have given two rehear
sals this week and the performances
are certainly well worth seeing. Thcyj
ought to take by 3torm at the A.-Y.-P.
where the bulk of the visitors have
never before seen real Alaska Indians
It is quite probable that Mrs. Stapled
will put the natives on the vaudeville
circuit after the A.-Y.-P. is over.
The Indians were secured by Jack
Kfller and out of gratitude, and per
haps as a shrewd maneuver to secure
a square deal, for betrayal of a bro
ther tribi-sman is a most heinous of
fense. the Indians adopted Mrs. Stap
les aiid Mr. Keller into the tribe with
all the mystic rites and sacred eer- j
e monies. Jack Keller has an Eagle
for his totem and Mrs. Staples be
longs to the Raven branch.
The Indians who go are: Mr. and
Mrs. Joe Wright, Mr. and Mrs. James
Green. Willie Green, Charley Brown
and Charley Fred and wife. "Laugh
ing George" Saunders will be picked
LP at Juneau.
