PAGESIK_ Newsy Nofes From Skagway SKAGWAY, Aalska, May 18.— (Special Corresponcence)—The cit- izens of Skagway are very irate, dis- gruntled, disgusted aryl wrathy! For some months they have been assured over and over that the property used by the Army, several items of which the city eritically nepds in the way of equipment, would be surplussed here. Now it is all being loaded on a scow to be taken to Juneau where it will be scld to the highest bidcer. I Skagway is sufficiently interested the minor items of boat fares, time, and the problem of getting the preperty back when no' boats with heavy enough equipment to handle It call in here, can then be consid- cred. Letters have been written repeatedly to different authorities who in return refer us to another department, who refer us to some- one else, ad infinitum. Like chil- dren, Dncle pats us on the head and says if we will be good little boys and girls and keep still, we will get some pretty toys; then promptly forgets our existence We know how the well known camel with the broken back feels. This is one of those straws. One hundred and thirty-five guests attended the Mothers’ and Daughters' Banquet held on Wad- nesday evening at the Recreation Center under the auspices of the Woman's Club. Mrs. Marie Brown as toastmistress directed a short program consisting of a song, A Toast to Mother, by the primary grade girls, a poem, Toast to t Daughters, by Mrs. M. V. Rafferty, and a short poem by little Carol Pribberncw. When the meal was concluded the girls were numbered off in two groups and procexded to the Elks and Eagles Halls where they were permitted to bowl five frames. Mrs. Howard Andresen had charge of the Elk's group and Mrs. Vernon DeHaven, the Eagles It goes without saying that every girl availed herself of the privilege and had a marvelous time.

He !sces little future for steamship travel until the labor situation is settled. | C. J. Rogers, President of the W. P. & Y. R. R, said he had al-| ways been well satisfied with the company's bargainings with the AFL and felt the situation in re- gard to amicable settlement here; very favorable as the company had | granted practically all demands of | the longshoremen recently.
