. way 3 Hotteu Service
Skagway council gave consider
? ?? time at its regular meeting last
night co discussing Skagway's mail
service. U was decided that in view of
the early termination of the Hum
boldt's service on this route it would
do no good to try to get it to cary mail
here. It was thought the government
might be induced to send mail for
Skagway and the interior on the boats
going to the westward. The matter
was -eferred to Mayor Shaw to inves
tigate and write to the department.
All the members of the council were
present last night and Mayor Shaw was
"in |the chair.
The council appropriated $700 for the
use of the school board.

j Ge.irge Sam, tho Chinaman, can stay
in the United States. He is back here
anil advertising for a job to prove "that
he can. He returned from Ketchikan
ou the Humboldt last Saturday.
Saui's trip to Ketchikan was the
result of a joke his memory olayed on
him. He was arrested here last Sep
tember by Khz'is Krauczunas, United
Stales immigration inspector, because
he had mislaid bis registration certifi
cate and had been in the country so
long that he forgot [that he had ever
had one. He was taken to Ketchikan
at least he was permitted to go there ?
to "show" the judge. The charge
against him was that ofbeing unlawfully
within the United States. After he got
down toKetchikan he zot ^rummaging
in his trunk and found the bottom of It.
There lay the certificate that showed
he had been properly registered under
the * leary act. it had lain there? well,
it had lain so long that Sam had for
gotten all about it.
Sam was reared from his early boy
hood in the I'nited State.-. His patron
snint was Beu E. Snipes, the eastern
Washington banker, and farmer, and
stock raiser.
