Novel Feature of Plans for the Celebration on
the Fourth? Judge Gunnison to Deliver
Oration? Big Base Ball Contest
The Fourth of July committee is
shaping things up now for a reusing
ijood time. Ail preparations ure failing
intoliaeso that the several ends are
rapidly knitting together to make a
complete and well rounded affair.
There Is to be a parade, a good one,
with floats acd frat rnal orders and tire
department, music and all the appurti
enances of such oocisions. All We fra
ternal orders are expected to have floats
in the lint as well as the meichants,
ho:?'i and others. But the feature of
the parade was inaugurated at the meet
ing last, night. There are 75 native
born chlluren in Saagway? that is chil
dren born to white parents resident of
this city. They are to be exploited as
the city's chiefest pride. They are to
b> lined no in the parade together, as a
division of their own, and to be given
the place of honor, and each of them is
to be given a prize. This is the novelty
of the celebration and will, of courte,
awaken the enthusiism it should.
There is every indication of an ex
citing base ball contest, with team*
from Whitohorse, Juneau and possibly
one from Seward as entries.
Judge Guociton, in a telegram to
Mrs. Stlcebaugh today, In answer to
one of iaquiry from her has signified
his acceptance of the invitation to di
liver the oration of the day. All
members of the committee and citfzens
generally ^re much plea^d and con
sider this as fixing the seal of success
upon the celebration. What remains
to be dona will be carried through with
increasi g enthusiasm and confidence.

11 HIS FIL B
?HI HUI
Governor Henderson, of the Yukon
Territory, wai a passenger on the
Princes* Beatrice returning from a
trip down east and to Ottawa. Cover*
nor Henderson ti looking like dollar
wheat and predicts a prosperous year
for the entire north country. Great
Interest Is manifest in the country in all
parts he visited, he says. Speaking of
the law granting full territorial gov
ernment to Yukon Governor Henderson
said this morning: "It provides for a
full council of ton, all elected by the
people. The council will elect its own
presiding officer, and the governor will
hereafterjiave nothing to do with Its
sessions. The council will have power
to make all local laws. The council
will a'so have the apportionment of
tbe several diitrlcta to be represented.
Under the grant 0; igflg the legisla- '
tire body of Yukon was allowed a legis
lative body composed of five members
all appointed from Ottawa, This did
not please the people of the territory
and a demand was made for an elective
legislature, and in 1901 in response to
this demand two additional members
were allowed, to be elected by the
people. In 1905 five elective members
were allowed but tbe government still
held the balance of power becauie tbe
governor sat as speaker of the council
with a vote. By the new order of
things all this is changed, and the peo
ple are themselves In control."
Governor Henderson with his wife
went over the hill ibis morning.
