SHOW PLOW GOES
all mr to
WNITEHORSE
For the first time in the history
of tae White Pass & Yukon route,
one or 'he large rotary Bnow plows,
with a crew of nine men, left this
morning going ail the way to Whie
horee. The severe weather this
winter has caused » great deal of
drifting of snow and ia many cuts
the snow has packed in, making it
Impossibly for an engine to plow
througn.
Heretofore what little snow has
fallen or drifted into cuts on the
north end of the route has been
cleared by the pick and shovel
method, but a scarcity of labor this
year coupled with the extra severe
weather, makes that method prac
tically Impossible.
The snow plow will go clear thru
to Wh'tehorae today, returning to
Skagway tomorrow.
PADDY SMITH
GETS NEW JOB
Paddy Smith. has sot a new job.
He is going to leave Tacoma, where j
for many years he has been a fa
m.liar figure ou the waterfront.
U«viug reached an age at which
a bit of cold or dampness finds its
way into his Joints, he feels that
the climate o£ Southern California
will be more suitable to his years.
Paddy, who is an employe of thel
Pacific Steamship Company, has
been a longshoreman and watch
man at Tacoma since he ceased to
follow the sea, which is longer back
than most people remember. Some
twenty or more years ago, he taught
the art of pushing a truck to an
eager, red-headed boy of 14, who
ha4 s'arted out to earn hie liveli
hood as a longshoreman. That boy
wa8 h. F. Alexander, who today is
president of the Pacific Steamship
Company.
Mr. Alexander has given orders
that Paddy be transferred to
Southern California port, where
he may enjoy mild temperature for
'he rest of his days. The order
went to A. F. Haines, Genreal Ma.n
ar r of the Company at Seattle.
"I have known Paddy ever Bince |
be Dushed a truck alongside of Mr.
Alexander," said Mr. Haines. "He ;
"s one of the old school of faithful i
emDliyes. He has just bought a
$1000.00 Liberty Bond, and has
other funds, Dut he w>mts to Btajr
in harness. He h«s not a relative;
on earth, so we are sending him
South." <|

TAD HILLEBY
13 HOMESICK
Under date of January 10, Tad
Hillery, former citizen, of Skagway
and known by all the old timers,
writing to Dugaa Barry from Duai
Vir, West Virginia, speaks of his
hoiua sickness for Alaska. He re
ceives Alaska papers regulaTly and
is much interested in all that is
gc n,r on in Skagway.
Tad sends his regards tQ all the
railroad boys, and mentions in his
let'.«. • in particular David Steven
son whom he says "has gone and
done it'; he inquires after Bob
Shelly; wants to lcnow how is
Wilbur, Mark and Vinta; and to Os
car Selmer he says "Hello."
Mr. Hillery has a very good job
setting up Ford automobiles, but
say* he doesn't like the East and
tbo people there.
Ex-Governor Clark, of Alaska-,
runs a newspaper in Dunbar, and
' o'U he and Mr. Hillery have many
goo-1 times together. A clipping la
which Mr. Clark refers to Tad HI1
lerv follows:
Tlure is a man in. Charleston,
employed in one of the factories,
who knows what Robert P. Ser
vice meant when he wrote the "Spell
of t'ie Yukon." The man in ques
tion used to be a trainman on the
White Pass & Yukon railroad, the
road 112 miles long that was built
over the mountains nortth of Skag
war. Alaska, as soon. it could
be put through after the Klondike
gold stampede of 1896 and 1897.
H» is like thousands who have
live-' in the Yukon country — he
fee's the "spell" of that country,
and he always has a longing—per
haus a secret one—to go back. Our
frieni who now lives in Charles
ton reads all the newspapers he
can get from the North and he
doesn't lose interest in the great
White North. He is like the thou
sands of others—ino matter what
hardships they may have endured
—"they want to go back." J

ing «he subdiTi8ionai survey herein
