LEI'S DRESS UP OUR BAND
The Skagway band submitted a peti
tion to the city council last evening set
tine forth its need of uniforms and ask
ing the city fathen to provide them,
j'.ating that it is the purpose of the band
to give a series of concerts, one or two
each week in some public place, during
the summer. The council was unani
mous in the opinion that this plea was
deserving of ready and bearty response,
although there is nothing in the law
guvering the "duties of councllmen"
that would warrant tbem in appropriat
ing the public monies to such an end.
Everv member of the council, however,
repeated, one after the other, that thev
woul<< be willing to subscribe to a fund
for the purpose from their Individual
pockets, and at the same time expressed
the belief ihat the sum neceisary?
stated at two hundred and fifty dollars
-would be easy to raise by subscription
in the cilv.
be not content with less. #
And so it khould te. The members
of the band are all young men of
Skagw&y. They have managed one
way or another to get their instru
ment!)? which is no small undertaH inl
and they are p?id for. They have
toiled through all the preliminary
s ages tl>at lead up to the point where
their efforts result in MUSIC. This is
much. They have submitted to the
dUcipliuiag, and the self-restraint,
hare tfiven their time, applied them
selves through the labor necessary to
mistering their icstruments. Since
early winter they have been undergo
ing this struggle through the under
brush of the low lands until uow ibey
have climbed to where they can see the
promised land? the playing of a tune
that is followed by applause.
A local batd is very much to any
community; it is a big factor toward
bringing success to any public demon
> ration: it is a matter of pride and adds
to the ce ebrity of any town. On these
grounds these boys should be given all
encouragement possible. As a feature
at puolic functions? not counting the
ball given by themselves? they
made their debut at Whitehorse,
and acquitted themselves with
much credit in the presence of an
organization much older than their
own. They are plumicg themselves
upon doing the honors here on the 4th
of July. They will do it, too, with
credit to the town Let us all get in
and buy the txns some handsome uni
forms.
UN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE FANS
It is now up to t> e baseball fans of
Skagw ?y to keep up the good work; to
maintain the petition of supremacy se
cured at Wbitehorse: to keep a sharp
lookout that we Lot only make as good
a showing on the 4th of July ai we did
on Victoria day, but that the attraction
l< sutliciont to bring the onlookers.
The White Pass cluo should not be
allowed to disintegrate through the go
ing away of the men who compose I*.
They should be given Inducements to
rcma1 > L re i n- Uk<- ;? llve'v interest
In the > cc-^- of he u.m Notb'"?
will bet ;r .dvertlae a c mraoniiy than
clean and successful 'porta.
Whitehorse was over confident, it
seems, and may be expected to get i oto
the gum^ with a knowledge of what
she h^s to contend with. Juneau,
swelled with her success, wi'l be ready
to return to Saagway, go anywhere
and meet any competitor, for a time at
least. Under these conditions the time Is
just i ^ht for furthering a plan for ?
series of games, the formation of a
league cf our own whereby we may
have a summer's good sport. There
Is no good reason why we might not
hare a game once n week, played tn
one or the other of the three towns,
games of quality that will give the fans
something to yell about. It means tie
putting of both money and blood in
circulation.
THE ALCHEMY OF SUCCESS
There have not been many prettier
illustrations of the truth of the saying,
"nothing succeeds like success," thin
that offered by those boys that compose
the Juneau base ball club. The boys
were allowed to leave Juneau to meet
Whiteborse without so much as a word
of encouragement? the people of Ju
neau deprecated their effort, character
ized it as foolhardy, and some laughed
at them as the boat sailed away from
the wharf? so the boys themselves siy.
At any rate they were allowed to .pay
their faros ami the entire expense
of the trip out of their owu pockets.
They beat Whiteborse hands down, and
tooK home second money? just about
enough to reimburse them.
But in the metnlime note the change
in the temper of Juneau. The boys were
met at the landing with a brass band,
the populace turned out enmasse- and
marched through the streets like a lot
of maniacs by way of doinj; honor to
those whom they had sent away wi h a
shrug of the shou'der. Such is the re
spect men pay to those who do things;
such charm is distilled iu seven little
letters; such is the alchemy of SUC
CESS.
WIRELESS ACROSS THE PACIFIC
Wireless communication pcross the
Pacific from Australia to the American
mainland, and from the Asiatic con
tinent, it is predicted, will be accom
iished during the cruise of the Amer
ican battlehip fleet in the latter pari
of July or Autfu.it. This will bs done
by means of relay stations, and
steps have already been taken towards
this end.
The commercial wireless company
at Honolulu is at present construct'ng
a station of sufficient power to com
municate with California stations, and
the Associated Press has announced
that the Navy deptrtment will estab
lish a temporary station in the South
Seas, probibiy at Suva, while the fleet
is in those waters, by which means it is
expected the .battleships will be able to
keep in constant touch with Washing
ton from the time they leave San Fran
cisco. Thus the herald of the fleet
is a greater tUnjr than the fleet Itself
or its undertaking.
It was a pretty spectacle? those two
youthful bands vieing with each other
over at Whiteborse the other day. The
Whiteborse band, with its great
number of instruments and heavy
basses, played like voterans, reflecting
brent credit upon themselves as well as
their competent and painstaking leader
and Instructor.
NATURE'S BEAUTY DOCTORS
Behold the beauty doctors
At last are come to town,
And they will make our eyes to shine
Without a penny down
Ana O, the roses, maids, they bring,
Without a penny doirn.
Than seek these roaring doctors,
Dull eye and pallid cheek!
Go seek them In the woodlaud,
Aud on the mouutalQ seek!
Tueir hands are rough but wondrous,
Tbcir triumphs are unique.
Behold, the beauty doctors
At last nre come this way,
And O, maidens' saining eyes,
That flash and glance so gay,
And roses, roses everywhere,
Without a cent to pay!
