New York, Feb.? More than twenty
thousand men thrown oat of employ
ment since the beginning of the late
financial panic, have, within the last
few weeks, been called back to their
old places. The mills all over the
country that were shut down are re- j
euming and the number that remain
closed is comparatively few. With al
most no exception these are preparing
to resume in the near future, These
are facts made public by the several
commercial agencies and other svurces
engaged in gathering statistics touch
ing the business situation and financial
status of the country.
DONE IN MASS MEETING
Whereas: the city of Skagwuy has suffered during the
entire winter now closing, from a mail service that lias
left it without mail through periods of from one week to ten
days, almost all of the time, to the great embarrassment of
business and
Whereas: In letting contracts for the carriage of the
mails to three different companies, sailing each one steamer
to this port, it is required of them only that they make two
trips each per month it was yet the evident purpose of
the government to secure to the citizens of this city and
the contiguous north country a much n. ore frequent service,
and
Whereas: By the bunching of these steamers so that
they arrive, almost iuvarably together, thus negativing the
purpose and intent of the government and
Whereas: This condition obtained not only during
the past but the winter preceding >and
Whereas: If no protest or remonstrance be made by
the citizens, the postal authorities are not likely to be in
formed of the condition and will so permit the continuance
of the unreasonable and wholly inadequate service until
the present contracts shall expire two years hence, therefore
be it
Resolvfd: That the citizens of Skagway, in mass
meeting assembled, respectfully certify to the authorities at
Washington that their business has been greatly handicap
ped by the condition stated and request that the contracts
for delivery of mails to this and neighboring cities shall be
ammended, if possible, and made to stipulate that the sail
ing dates of the steamers bringing mails shall be so ar
ranged that they deliver mails within periods of five days
(as they can do without increasing the number of sailings)
or that new contracts be let to such companies as shall
agree so to do. And be it further resolved that copies of
these resolutions be forwarded to the Chambers of Commerce
of the several towns of South Eastern Alaska and to those
of the cities of Seattle, Tacoma, Portland and San Francis
co, with the request that each and all of them unite with us
in this movement by taking such action as they may deem
proper. Respectfully submitted

HOTEL STUFF COMING
(United Press Telegraph-Cable Service.)

shipped on the Alaska Steamphip company's steamer Jef
ferson which sailed last night for Skagway, consigned to

engers with her engaged for the constiuction of the build
ing.
ENTERPRISE BACK OF IT'
INTERESTING SUGGESTION TOUCHING THE ROUND WORLD AUTOMOBILE RACE
4 1 am of the opinion that there is
/
more back of this automobile race
round the world by way of Alaska than
a mere adventure, scarch for something
novol and thrilling or a test between
different makes of machines," said
Lieutenant Sam C. Orchard, of the Al
aska road commission this morning.
"My notion is that it is b.icked by the
men who arc engineering the trans
Alaskan and Bering sea railroad, f he
course lies somewhere along the pro
posed route of that road and leads to
lJnrls whe-e tha big railroad scheme
origin ited, .?r d wiiert it is l>eing Hgitat
ed. I am of the opinion that it is meant
to show the feasibility, at least, of th
route and the possibility of bui'dine
over it. If the automobilists succeed
in making the journey the men who
make it will be in position to report
something tangible in that regard. I
oellevo they will be able to make the
trip as far as Nome at least across Al
aska?if they can make Valdez. Their
trouble will begin, to my notion, when
they attempt to cross Bering straits.
Down the Siberian coast they will find
more of it for they hare a country there
similar to Alaska but without roads.
So far as the railroad Is concerned, its
feasibility as a practical enterprise, I
mean, I have my opinion, but that it is
being seriously undertaken there is no
doubt in mv mind and I b9lieve this
automobile trip is being conducted in
its interest."
