EDITORIAL PAGE
Attention is called to the meet
ing hold by the Skagway Horticul
tural socicty lust evening. Let us
all be boosters for the fair. The
membership fee, including admis
sion to the fair, was placed so low
that every man and woman, and
fcvery child over twelve yours of
age, iu Skagway should_j>lace their
namt-s on the membership roll.
The success of this Xourtli an
nual fair meaus much for Skagway,
and the maintaining of this val
ley's naws) us the garden spot of
Alaska.
The three former fairs have had
a larjjo part in spreading the fame
o' Alaskan agricultural resources
all over America, and the more
we can do to confirm iu the minds
o' tveryone the fact that the
farms aud gardeus of Alaska can
bo taadj to support a large perman
ent population, the greater will be
the development of the next year
and the years that immediately fol
low.

. H-rifT " Mf" ink, only two |
games hud been played at Dawson,
the first resulting iu a score of I
11 to 5 in favor of the Whitehorse
boys, aud the second in 10 to 3 for
the same players. Iu tlie lutter
game it was said they had to call
on the Dawson fire department to |
put the Whitehorse boys out.
Another game would be played
yesterday evening and there is no i
doubt but t" at it would result iu a
third victory for the "Horses." As
there was something like four I
thousand in cash accompanied our
tfciira to Dawson, aud as there is
some "spo'tiug" blood still cours- p
i-ig through business arteries of
that once festive burg, there is g
no good and sufficient reasou why
our boys should not have money to
loau on their return. It is likely
'.hat sis or seven games will be
Jlayed altogether; that is, of
•ourse, unless Dawson gets cold J
pet and staggers uu to the ropes ^
-id quits.

TO HEART DISEASE IX .11 LV
vVhitehorse Star; Captain Bell
of the police, has received details
or the death of Robert Smith, an
old-timer in the Kluane district.
Smith died about the middle of July
cu Duke creek, a tributary of the I
Kluane river. He and C. M. Craw-'
lord were hunting and went in dif- |
'erent directions a-round a mountain |
on which they had seen a band
of sheep. Crawford killed a sheep
and tock it to their camp thinking
Smith had preceded him. Jhe latter
■not appearing that evening, Craw
ford went in search of him nest
dav but failed to see anything of
him. H« reported the matter to
his neighbors 011 Burwash creek,
when several turned out in the
Starch, but not for four days was
?"'i.'h's body found. From indica
tions, he evidently died of heart
dis'MSe and had b'.'en de;ul ever
siaco the day ho wfls first missed.
lae body, which was rapidly de
comDosini;, the weather being very
warm, was buried near where it was
f:>u;'d after being carefully viewed
by each member of the searching
party.
Smith had been in the Kluane
ccu'.tri; a dozen years and was be
tween fifty fivo and sixty years of
age. It is not knotva if he had any
relatives.
When Sailors Wore Petticoats.
Very few people realize tiiat there
was a day when petticoats were worn
by soldiers awd sailors on board ships
of war. In the days before the royal
marines were regularly established as
a separate corps the foot repiments of
the line «s«l to take It In turns to
serve as marines 011 shipboard. Petti
coats were quite commonly worn In
the navy in Nelson's time, bavins been
!:i vosrue there since the days of Queen
Elizabeth, and the soldiers, being sud
denly called upon to do the work of
sailors, naturally adopted their dress,
finding It no doubt far handler and
more convenient than their own ticht
ftttlncr, frojrRed and braided uniforms.—
