H. H. Draper today. "If the city can
have the right to improve and uae the
old Bracket rood, which consent 1 un
derstand will have to be secured from
the White Pass company, and which I
am euro can be obtained, would make
the work easy of accomplishment. I
bare been agitating this ver ? tbiog for
the put several years and spent some
money myself In making a trail from
Denver station to the glacier. I believe
this should be put through and if done I
believe it will be the best thing ever
accomplished for Skagway, and that it
will bring great returns.
