UNREPHE-ENTED COMMUNI
TIES Will SUFFER
Those Alaskan towns which will not
be represented at the convention which
has been called to meet at Seattle next
month will be In a decided minority.
The Seward peninsula, the Tanana val
ley, Valder, and Seward, out to the
westward, Skagway, Ketchikan,
Haines, Berners Bay and other South
eastern Alaskan towns will be there
with full delegations If Juneau,
Douglas, Treadwell. Wraogell and Sit
ka are not represented they will be the
principal sufferers.
Particularly should Juneau and Doug
las island be represented at the con
vention. That section Is now the rec
ognized political and commercial cen
ter of Southeastern A'aska which is
still the most populous portion of the
district. If Alaska woro granted a ter
ritorial government in the near future
the towns of this section of the district
by a united effort could secure the capi
tal of the territory for one of them.
But to make that possible it will be
neces ary for those towns to come to
the front and keep step in the march of
progress. Their people must do their
part with those of other sections who
have enlisted to secure the recognition
of their right as American citizens to
govern themselves.
It has been said before, but it will
bear repeating, that there is not a com
munity in Southeastern Alaska but
that is prepared to tight shoulder to
shoulder with Juneau to make that
place the capital of Alaska territory.
But the people of Southeastern Alaska
will not follow the lead 'of tories no
matter where they reside, nor will
they, when American principles of
government are the stakes of battle,
sulk in their tents for Juneau's sake.
The most important thing that con
fronts Skagway for the immediate
future is proper representation in the
Alaskan convention that lias been cal
led to convece~at' Seattle, Nov. 15.
This city has slwgvs taken a leading
part in every movement that concerns
the wellfare of the entire district. It
cannot afford to be missed at this time.
Three or four of the strongest men in
the city should be at Seattle with the
delegates from Nome, Farbanks. Ketchi
kan and the other principal parts of
Alaska. There is no doubt but Skag
way will be theje.
The best way to make the convention
that Nurae has called to convene at
Seattle next moath a representee
gathering of Alaskans rather than a
Seattle side show will be for Alaskans
who live in the district to attend it as
delegates, and the more delegates who
are opposed to holding conventions out
side of the district that are preseat the
better it will be for Alaska.
Spelling Bee Thts Evening
The Junior Auxiliary of St. ?
Saviour's church will give a Spelling
bee at the rectory this evening at 7:30 i
o'clock. The admission fee for all en
tering the spelling contest will be 5 1
cents: general admission will be 10 j
cents and refreshments 10 cents.

A DOUBLE SWINDLE ]
\ [Original]
Franklin Dole was very much dis
gruntled. Louise Klkins had Inherited
an income barely sufficient to keep
her uud her younger brother Ernest.
Ernest had fallen into the hands
of Arnold Prigmore, who preyed on
society in a gentlemanly way and with
out breaking the laws. lie was win
ning money from Elkius that the boy
did not possess. To save himself El
kins was drawing ou his sister.
It had just coiue to Pole's knowledge
that l'rigmore had that very day taken
an additional amount from Ernest, or,
rather, from Louise lOlkins, for tier
brother had given iu payment of a
gambling debt iter check for $3,o00.
There could be no doubt that the
money bad been Avon dishonestly. Be
sides, it was equivalent to dishonesty
for a man of Prlgmore's age and ex
perience to take money won from a
foolish boy that belonged to a woman.
But there was nothing In this that
could be proved as a swindle. l>ole
also kuew that Louise Elkins' Income
had already been reduced to a mini
mum by these drafts upon It. anil with
the present amount paid her revenue
would be unequal to her modest re
quirements. lie had hoard Ernest tell
Prig.uore when he give his sister's
check that he must have twenty-four
hours to make it goo.l in bant;. Dole
thought of going to Prigmore an.l pro
testing. but decided that it would avail
nothing.
The next morning while Prigmore
was sitting at the breakfast table a
sci vaut announced a lady to see him.
Going to the drawing room he found a
visitor, veile'd, who rose as be entered
ar.J in a voice choked with sobs said:
"I have come to ask if you have do-1
po'.ited the check given yo i ye terday
by Ernest Elkln.;."
"I have not. I expect to do sj this
af ernoon before the closing of bank
he :rs."
"Will you let me sec it?"
' "Certainly."' And, taking out his
pooketbook, lie showed her the check.
As soon as she saw it she fell back In
her chair In collapse.
I "Well," asked Prigmore, "isn't it all
1 right?"
"My fears are realized; It Is a for
ge -y."
"How do you know?"
"The signature is supposed to be
mine."
"Yours?"
"Yes; I am Louise Elkins."
"Your brother shall suffer for this."
"Spare him, I implore you. Consider
his youth."
"I'll land him where he belong.?? In
state prison."
"Tell me how I can satisfy you. 1
am but a woman and know nothing of
business."
"You can give me your own check
th it will be good in the bank."
"And you will tear up the forgery?"
"Certainly. I only want my money."
Prigmore showed her to a desk and
gave her writing material aud a blank
check. With a trembling hand 6he
filled it out, and as she handed it to
him he said:
"I can't return the forgery till I find
that tills check Is good." Then noticing
that the check in his hand was for
$4,500 Instead of $3,500 he paused a
moment, then folded It and gave her
the other check. He surmised that In
her agitation she had made a mistake,
which he proposed to take advantage
of.
"IIow can I repay you for your mag
nanimity?" she asked.
"By lifting your veil."
"For heaven's sake, don't nsk me to
do that! I am ashamed at being the
sister of a forger. If I should meet
you again? in society, perhaps? I
would not wish you to know me."
"But"?
"Are you sure the amount of the
check I gave you Is right? I scarcely
knew what I was doing."
'The exact amount. Never mind
lifting your veil. I can readily under
stand your feelings." He gallantly
showed her to the door and bowed her
out.
"I wouldn't take her for the little
fool's sister," he muttered. "She must
be a head taller than he. It would
have been safer to have had n look at
her face, but I was afraid she'd want
a look at the check. I'd have risked
a thousand for a sight of her. What
fools women are:"
PHgmore deposited the check and
the next day was notilied by the bank
that It was a forgery. He was thun
derstruck. Slowly it dawned upon
him that he had surrendered a good
check for a forgery. Hurrying to the
bank, he learned that the original had
been drawn. Some one had victimized
him.
The police never discovered the wo
man who had personated Miss Elkins,
nor did either she or her brother learn
who had drawn the money. Prigmore
finally resigned himself to a loss of
funds that had never belonged to him
and left the locality where his methods
had become known to work others.
Two years after tills happened
Franklin Dole married Louise Elkins.
The morning after they had returned
from their wedding trip Elkins said to
his wife:
"By the bye, I have $3,500 belonging
to you In my bank account."
"Due me?"
"Yes. You remember the forgery
case? Well, I'm the party that per
sonated you and swindled the swin
dler. I risked ten years In prison by
doing It, but you see"?
She stood looking at him with an ex
pression of mute wonder, then flung
her arms about him, saying:
"If you ever take such a risk again
I'll shut you up In au asylum."
