Tl'KN OIT TOXKJHT
There was a ciill iu yesterday's j
Daily Alasjjau lor a meeting of ■
the Skagway commercial club at
the towa hall tonight at S o'clock.
There will bo matters of importance
ccnie up for discussion and there '
should bo a full attendance of
the members.
The Skagway Commercial club'
was re-organized a few weeks ago j
with a membership of thirty and j
there have been several names add- i
cd to the roll since. Tho newly |
elected prsident. Col. W. L. Stev- j
ensou, is a "live wire," as are all !
tho other officers and if the peo
ple of Skagway will stand behind
them and assist in the good work |
they have set out to do we will be |
in a position to demand a change |
for the better in a good many of j
the local conditions cf which we I
no-.v complain, and with almost a
certainty of our demands being j
complied with if they are within !
th» bounds of reason.
Turn out tonight and show your j
interest in matters which concern
your home town.
HAITI'S LOXU-FELT WANT
It is improbable that the black
republic of Haiti will ever again
wild. There is good reason to be
lieve that the United States will
ke n armed forces in that unhappy
and bloodstained country until
sornf arrangement can bo perfected
for a certain supervision of Haitian
;.f fairs.
It is high time for such a step,
lu the interest oi common humani
tv ami civilizatiou. A century and
mere of entire independence lias
proved Haiti's inability to main
tain order, promote progress and
education, insure the most elemen
tal civil righ's ot its people or eon
duct its affairs with decent regard
for the good will and legitimate in
terests of other nations. Now
thsve s need of a' least a little su
pervision by some competent out
side authority and the United
otites is the only power free to act.
Other turbulent, demoralized and
hopelessly uuprogressive states
rear euougn Haiti to see what hap
pens there, may learn much which
thev have urgent need of knowing
by observing the course of events
in that part of the "rich island
■where the first white settlement
was made in the new world.

said, trying to smile. "Thauk you.

The Yellowstone Region as James
Bridger Saw It
AND HE WAS A TRUTHFUL MAN
His Adventure With an Elk at the Fa
mous Obsidian Cliff and the Effeot
of a Ride Through Alum Creek—Sto
ry of the Mountain That Was Cursed.
As a toller of tales Munchausen had
a worthy rival In James Bridger, the
celebrated hunter, trader and guide,
whose name and career are part of the
pioneer history of the west Bridger
was thoroughly familiar with the re
gion now comprised In the Yellowstone
park as far back as 1S3Q.
In his book, "The Yellowstone Park,"
the author, Hiram Martin Chittenden,
brigadier general United States army,
retired, sets down some of the yarns
Bridger told about that land of won
ders. Many of the Yellowstone coun
try tales ascribed to Bridger havo sur
vived to this day, probably because
they have never been capped. The
llrst story General Chittenden tells Re
lates to the celebrated Obsidian cliff,
a mass of black volcanic glass with
which all the tourists are familiar. Its
discovery by Bridger was the result of
a hunting trip, and it happened In this
way:
• roming one day in stgnt or a mag
nificent oik, he took careful aim at the
unsuspecting nnlinnl and fired. To his
amazement tlie elk not only was not
wounded, but seemed not to have heard
the nolso of the rillo. Bridget- drew
considerably nearer and gave the elk
the benefit of his most deliberate aim,
but with the same result as before. A
third and fourth effort met with simi
lar fate. Utterly exasperated, he seized
his rifle by the barrel, resolved to use
it as n club, since It had failed as a
it rearm. Rushing madly toward the
elk. he suddenly crashed Into an Im
movable vertical wall which proved to
be a mountain of perfectly transparent
glass, on the further sKle of which,
still la peaceful security, the elk was
quietly grazing.
"Stranger still, the mountain was not
only of pure glass, but was a perfect
telescope lens, and, whereas the elk
seemed but a few yards off. It was In
reality twenty-five miles uway."
Another of Hrldger's discoveries was
an Ice cold spring near the summit of
a lofty mountain, the water from
which flowed down over a long,
smooth slope, where it acquired such
velocity that It was boiling hot when
it reached the bottom. This, a later In
vestigator of the Klrehole river found,
was a eiise In which a hot spring dltt
charged into the river bed.
Alum creek, a tributary of the Yel
I lowstone. received Its name from an
i accidental discovery by Brldger. One
I day he forded the creek nnd role out

to mere points which sank Into the
solid ground so that the animal could
scarcely hobble along. Seeking the
cause, he found It to be In the astrin
gent qualities of the water, which was
saturated with alum to such an extent
that It had power to pucker distance
Itself.
Bridger also found a fine place to
fish: "Somewhere along the shore an
Immense boiling spring discharges Its
overflow directly into the lake. The
specific gravity of the water Is less
than that of the lake, owing to the ex
pansive action of heat, and It floats In
a stratum of three or four feet thick
upon the cold water underneath. When
Bridger was in need of flsh it was to
this place that he went Through the

The visitor to the region of petrifica
tions In the northeast corner of the

In discovering the base material out of
which Bridger contrived the following
picturesque yarn:
"A monntaln In the pnrk was once
cursed by a groat medicine mnn of the
Crow nation. Everything on the moun
tain at the time of this dire event be
came instantly petrified and has re
mained so ever since. All forms of
life are standing abont in stone where
they were suddenly caught by the
petrifying Influences, even as the In
habitants of ancient Pompeii were snr
prlsed by the ashes of Vesuvius. Sage
brush, grass, prairie fowls, antelopes, |
elks and bears may there be seen as I
perfect as in actual life. Dashing tor
rents and the spray mist from them j
stand forth in arrested motion as If
carved from rock by a sculptor's chisel
Even flowers are blooming In colors of
crystal, and birds soar with wings
spread In motionless flight while the
air floats with music and perfumes
siliceous, and the snn and moon shine
with pertrtfled Ilghtl" it Is denied,
though, that Rajilger was responsible
for the story that even the laws of
gravitation were petrified In the region
Uncontrollable Curiosity.
"I don't see how it Is that Mrs. Jor
wag has so many friends. She gossips
terribly."
"Yes," replied Miss Cayenne. "Every
