George G. Killer, deputy collector
anil inspector of customs for the
Skagway district, who has Just re
turned from a six weeks' visit 1a

From the conversation had With
Mr. Miller, It would seem that the
old Skagway colony, now In, Seat
tle, are pretty much the Bame
bunch ud of the Bame sort as when
they were reaidauta of ths north.
Anthony and Percy Graves are
both ranching ou Orcaa Island in

married and has two children. He
married a Victoria girl. Th«! Graves
brothers are both prosperous, but
speak of their residence in Skag
way as the hey-day® of their llvee.
Alex Drape®, another old-timer,
was visiting on the coast at the
tlmo Mr. Miller was there, and 18
still located In Minneapolis, where
he Is looking after jls interesa
which take up most of his time.
Oscar Gard is In business for
himself, having opened a fur brok
erage office la Seattle.
Plans were about completed lor
a little dinner at yhlch, fourteen
fcrmer SkagwaywiB were to havq
been present, when It Is beileved
that a war-alrshlp or soma other
war-scare broke up the bunch, and
they were blown like chaff to the
four cornerB of the earth—at My
rato tho dinner did not materialize.
In summing up the business pros
poets of Seattle, Mr. Miller states
that the business men are now en
joying prosperity, the banks and
mercantile establishments all hav
ing a brisk trade.
Mr. Miller returned on the Str.
Humboldt, and states that from
Seattle to Juneau the boat had a
good list of passengers, most of
whom were old Alaskans.
