that uever" fails to amaie visitore
to the Panama Pacific Internation
al Exposition grounds is that of a
train of freight cars soeeding out
of a nearly finished exhibit I pal

large enough to admit locomotives
and cars, the proportions of the
immense buildings are such that

railway system enter all the pal
aces and are now in daily use
transporting lumber and materials
for construction to the interior of
the edifices. Later these tracks
wil] be used in the installation of

WHITE PASS HOSPITAL DANCE.
The W. P. Hospital dance on
Saturday night was an unqualified
success in every particular. A
large crowd was present, a num
ber of whom were visitors from
Whitehorse, Ft. W. H. Seward and
Haines besides several people who
are stopping in town waiting for
tomorrow's train to the Interior.
The hall had been tastefully dec
orated and many conveniences ar
ranged for the comfort of the lad
ies who were in attendance as
iguerfa. »
The ladies on the various com
mittees deserve especial praise for
their very efficient work not only
prior to the time of the dance but
during its progress in serving a
very appetizing assortment of vi
ands to allure the taste.
The members of Prof. O. Sel
mer's orchestra were in a most
complaisant and happy frame of
mind and in consequence excelled
themselves in their rendition of the
numbers on the rather lengthy pro
gram. i
The Skagway band boys also re
ceived an ovation from the dancers
for the excellence of the music in
the four extra numbers which they
kindly gave.
During the evening a flashlight
picture was takeu of the hall and
dancers by Joe Tiozyma of the
Pullen house.

PERSONAL.
F. C. Flaharty, of the Board of
Trade saloon, was an Alameda pas
senger for Juneau today.
F. D. Helser left on the Alameda
this morning for "the outside. Af
ter stopping a short time in Se
attle l;e will go on to Chicago.
Geo. W. Dedinan of the Golden

having almost entirely recovered
from the accident which befell
him a few weeks ago.
Jerry Quinlan, until his sesigna
tion a few months ago the oldest
conductor on the W. P. & Y. Route
between Skagway and '.Vhitehorse,
arrived here on the Humboldt Sat
urday morning and is a guest at
the Golden North. • Mr. Quinlan
was warmly welcomed by his
many friends. • He will leave on
the next southward voyage of the
Spokane for Juneau, where he has
a lucrative position awaiting him.
"Mr. Quinlan thinks there is no
doubt about the final consumation
of the deal whereby the W. P. &
Y. Route company is to acquire
the holdings of the Northern Navi
gation company on the Yukon riv
er, and believes it will mean much
to Skagway in the matter of in
creased freight and passenger traf
fic going through this town.
TOWN OF HAINES
NOMINATES
The people of Haines assembled
In mass meeting Friday night and
nominated the following candidates
for city council. As may be ob
served, one of the candidates for
membership is a woman and con
siderable interest is being mani
fested in the Lynn canal town as
to the probability of her election:
J. Fairchild, T. Teredon B. E.
Benson, Jas. McQulnn, R. M. O'Dell,

IAndhcIm.
Up to ten o'clock this morning
but 120 persons residing in Skag
way had registered, of whom 22
were women. This is a very poor,
showing as 155 were registered
last year, and it looks as though
this year's registration will fail to
come up to that number unless the
voters, men and women, wake up
and get busy, whereas with the ad
dition of the women to 'the voting
population of Skagway there should
be at least 250 ballots cast at the
election a week from tomorrow.

climbing up and down many shafts,
and working continuously until he

the ribs were partially fractured.
Mr. Ferry is at home, gradually
mending, and will be out before
long.—Dawson News. '
