ARB BITING RAVENOUSLY
A communication from the Ginaea
Brothers, written somewhere in B. |
C., was received today, in which thejj
state that they are having a very
tryinjr campaign. They have met
witn a very fierce attack on both
flanks and in the salient about their
nose, cheks and chin sectors by an
army of Boche mosquitoes, which
their report states for torture and
unrelenting cruelty, must have with
them the German war book which
they study between attacks.
However, these fierce attacks
have been somewhat offset by the
fish. They report they opened
the season with a fine catch, grey
ling and trout, one of the latter
bringing the scales down for eight
pSunds and it was just tho length
of a two foot rule. Cam said, in
relating the story of landing this
fish , "I have caught larger fish
but never had 0110 that put up the
fight that this ono did.
In closing their communique.
Messrs. Ginaca say that the mos
quitoes are so bad that they have
attacked several rolls of Kodak
films and perforated the boxes
so many times that they fear that
the pictures hav© been light struck.
They will remain for some time be
fore returning to Skagway enroute
to their homes in California.
"A. B." MOUNTAIN*
ON'CE MORE SCALED
Under the careful and experi
enced guidance of Rev. L. H. Ped
ersen, a number of the members of
the Skagway Alpine club are to
day making the trip to the sum
mit of A. B. mountain. The start
was made at 7 o'clock this morning
and luncheon was to be had about
11 at the berry patch at the foot
of the mountain proper.
At about on© o'clock th© party
could be distinctly seen on the
crest of the mountain, silhouetted
against the blue sky, by th© peo
ple in Skagway, and it is claimed by
one person who had a powerful pair
of field glasses that h© could see
the guide smile »'ith gratification
and pleasure at having one© again
negotiated the top of this historic
old pe;k.
Th© return will be made late this
evening.
YUKON BOYS OBJECT
TO HOTETj methods
Arrivals this morning from White
horse bring word that a big section
of the boys of the first Yukon selec
tive draft, on arrival at White
horse Tuesday evening, objected to
treatment they received at one of
the hotels in that town, and that
an. altercation resulted in which
a window was smashed nud that the
oovg withdrew from the hotel and
found quarters for the night on the
steamboats and elsewhere. The
trouble, it seems, arose over the
fact the proprietor of the hotel put
as many as six men, aecroding to
the reports, in a single room, and
wanted to collect $1.75 from each
man for the night, and finally
agreed to come down no lower than
$1.50 a night, whereas the other ho
tels were charging only $1 flat. The
men were allowed $2.50 a day for
expenses, it is said, and had to pay
sam,j out or that limited allowance,
and the men resented what they be'
lieved an inclination tc crowd them
into quarters ard to charge a high
er price than warranted. It is
said the window: was broken after
most of the m?u had left the place.
Two police later arrived,
It Is said, and went on
patrol in the vicinity in case fur
ther trouble might ensue, but all
was serene. The men who were
quartered at the Commercial and
Regina hotels, it is said, had tio
complaint to make regarding their
treatment there.—Dawson News.
E. J. Shaw, local agent for the Al
aska Steamship company received
cable advice this morning stating
that the steamship Alaska cannot
sail for the north until the 14th of
the month on account of being &o
late in loading,' and she will make
*'-e regular ports of call on the
northbound trip but will only go as
far west as Seward, and will not
go through to Ancharage
Returning from the West south
bound, ghe will take the outside
passage, thus eliminating all ports
of call between Seward and Seattle.
Nels ("Tear 'Em Dowa")' John
son, a resident of Interior Alaska
for lo! these many years, will leave
within the next few weeks for the
outside, principally to Chicago,
where urgent business awaits his
arrival. Should Mr. Johnson under
take to tear down Chicago propor
tionately to his. work f destruction
in Iditarod, he'd have a big job on

BIG FOURTH OP JULY
PETE HELD AT HOO.VAH
At Hoonah cannery was an elab- |
orate Fourth of July celebration
this year with a long list of
sports in which winners were given
prizes in thrift 6tamps. Th0 en- 1
tertainment committee consisted of
Chas. Verrey, E. J. FarreU and Fred
Forseter with C. A. Withrow as
manager of the dance hall.
A grand ball at Hoonah "Dream
land" in the evening concluded the
day's festive aspect and a six-piece

Mr. Editor:
Your Editorials in a recent issue
went "over the top" with me. But
your Dr. Good and his pumpkin
D'e !s easy compared with a biped in
this community who, having a lease
on the only hall and owning the
only fiddle, charged us ai high Price
in rent for one and fifteen dollars
for olaying the other, at our Red
Cross dance on April 1st. Every
thing else was donated down to the
wood and lights and sugar for the
lemonade. This would seem to me,
ud I am a Missourian, sufficient
•e:>sou to run any man out of the
country as an undesirable. You are
heading rignt. Give them h—
Down with the Hun. The ueople
should wake up.. .What say?
