THE WHIT Elf ORSE FIRE
The conflagration which swept over
Whit* horse this morning, destroying
the business section of thai progressive
?nd thrift; city, has shocked the peo
ple of Skag way almost as much as if it
had taken place in their own town.
The destruction of property that it has
taken much labor and great enterprise
and endeavor to create is always appal
injf. It ia particularly so to those near
whose homes it strikes. The business
interests of Sitagway and \Vhitehor>e
are so nearly identical, and the people
of the towns are so c osely united by
social ties and personal friendships,
that the natural result* of such a catas
trophe as tnat which took place this
morning are greatly accentuated in this
particular instance.
Of course, Whitehorsj wfll recover
from the shock. That same enterprise
which called the beautiful little town
into existence and made it always a
leader among communities, will cause
it to rise from it a?hes into a better and
greater Whitehoree.
The people of Skagway sorrow with
thoee of Whitehorse in their lose, acd
they will rejoice with them in their re
covery when that time shall oome.

Fairbanks, like has been the case

moderation and good sense that charac

"Soap;" Smith invest (rations at Skag

Former Skagway Girl Be
comes Ltwyer
Miss Re ah Whitehead, formerly of
Skagway, whoso father was employed
at one time in the oWce of the Pacific
Coast Steamship Company and after
ward as agent for the Humboldt, has
been Emitted to the bar of the state of I
Washington and she is now a full
fledged lawyer. She was appointed
head clerk in the office of the prosecu
tion attorney at once upon her admis
sion to the bar. She was a little girl
when at Skagway and is now only 21
years of ace.
The Seattle Post-Intelligencer says
concerning Miss Whitehead's remark
able career:
"The appointment of Miss Reah
Whitehead as chief clerk in the pros
ecutiug attorney's office, to take effect
June 1, was announced yesterday im
mediately following the news from
Olympia that she had successfully
passed the state bar examination.
"Attractiug national notice at the
age of 14 years by breaking the short
hand speed record with her eyes blind
folded, becomicg court stenographer in
the federal court at Skagway at 16, ad
mitted to practice in the courts of this
state and appointed to an important po
sition at 21, the young woman considers
herself merely at '.he threshold of her
career
"The score of years which she claims
is attested by the newspaper records of
the public interest that her creditable
career has aroused a', various times.
Apart from these she might easily pass
for a high school girl with her mind
upoa the festivities of a coming gradu
ation.
"For the last year the young attor
ney has been attending the law classes
of the University of Washington. Ac
complishing two years' work in one and
laboring under the personal direction
of Dean Conlon after school ho?rs, she
did not fee! the need of waiting for her
class, but went to Olvmpia last week
and is now admitted to the bar, while
her clavsmates will graduate some '.itce
next spring."
Mi^s Whitehead was employed in the
office of John G Price at Sk gway.

The white flyer Dolphin should ar

early tomorrow morning She was
billed to sail from Seattle Saturday
morning. Her sailing has not been re
ported, but that is accounted for by the
fact that the cable has been down since
before the date set for her departure
from the Sjund. The Dolphin should
have two days' mail and a large freight

NEW BOARD

ers Fired From Office
Arthur Davey, barrister; Robert
Moncrief, contractor, and A. I a Lsnde,
merchant, have been named by Major
vVood to form the territorial liquor li
cense board
This board succeeds the notorious
Temple-l>avidson-NToel board, which
last year was accused of ha dlinjr sa
loon licenses as political perquisites.
It refused to grant Georpe Butler a
license and the people turned out en
masse to (five Mr. Hutler a reception
when he left the Klondike.
One of the memberaof the new board
says that as far as he is concerned there
will be no favorites when It comes to
handling licenses Race ami politics
will cut no figure. A straight deal will
be his motto and he believes the oth
ers of the board feel the same.
