No. 30 SIXTEENTH YEAR
SKAGWAY, ALASKA. SATURDAY, MARCH 8, 1913 PRICK 10 CKNTH
ura. MI
MS It SHWIIS
Skagway has so many good
things to he proud of that we fear
If things keep coming our way, the
city may become a trifle boastful.
Not content with gobbling up near
ly all the sunshine and the flowers
iii the north, and having the finest
vegetables and dairy products, we
have now stepped into the athletic
arena and copped off first place in
the International Bowling contest.
I^ast night's game at the Elks
ltdge was well attended by the fans
and they did what they could to
cheer the bowlers on to victory.
The boys played a pretty fair game,
but not quite up to what they can
do when necessary.
Whitehorse, under the encourage- j
nioiit of Stroller White, took Its
natural place at the foot of the
das*, thus demonstrating the Infal
libility of hia teachings.
Dawson did herself proud, and
ever. Juneau showed a fair sample
uf the game, but of course was out
classed to begin with, and then
worried over the suffragette trou
bles before the legislature. It could
uot be hoped that she could win. As
intlriated in the beginning of this
article, the gods are with Skagway.
and history tells us that the gods,
especially Bacchus, have always tak
? n active Interest In bowling.
Here are the games at the close:
Skagway 2,475?19,864.
Junt-au 2,419 ? 19,818.
Dawson 2,390 ? 18,931.
Whi'ehorse 2,238? 18.773

WHIT ENEMY NEED THE
I'XITKD STATES FEAR
New York, Mar. 8 ? Characteriz
ing as "madness" Colonel Goeth
recent and most startling esti
mate of no less than 25,000 sol
diers as necessary to guard the Pan
ama canal, Andrew Carnegie, speak
ing as presiding officer at a late
innual meeting ol the New York
Peace society, urged against mili
tary and tiaval Increase. He said
he hoped Wood row Wilson's re
sponse to any proposal for increase
would be: "Pray tell us first
against what enemy you need this
farther protection." Probably not
one of tng three additional battle
ships demanded, if built, ever will
fire a shot against a foe. They will
rust in uselessness ? 145,000,000
needlessly squandered," Mr. Carne
gie declared.
PACKY M'FARLAND OI T
CLASSED JACK BIUTTON j
New York, March 8? Packy "Mc
Karland, Chicago's lightweight fight
er met Jack Britton, the Clinton,
N. Y boy, last night, in ten rounds
of very cle\-er fighting. The two
lightweights show that they still re
tain many qualities which have car
ried them through many hard fought
battles, but Packy drew the verdict
that he had outpointed his opponent.
GREEKS TAKE
78,000 TURKS
Athens, March 8 ? The Greek sol
diers and authorities announce that
they have taken prisoner and now
hnve 78,000 Turkish troops under
guard. Day by day the facts be
come more evident that Turkey
must give up nearly everything in
Europe, and the sooner she does
it, the more she will save from the
wreck.
London, March 8? The latest ad
vices received at the government of
fice. is to the effect that Turkey is
losing ground dally in her contests
with the Allies and that with con
siderable diRConteut and opposition
fit home she stands at a point to
lose all of herpossessions in Europe
ualess peace is declared speedily.
