! WHITEHORSE PLANNING
GREAT CELEBRATION
Whitehorse is planning the biggest
celebration Tor the King's birthday
tills year that ever has taken place In
that town. Committees have boen
named and, according to late accounts,
they are working like beavers to make
the affair a huge success.
The Whitehorse Star gives this ac
j count of the meeting that was held
last week and which made the ar
rangements for the celebration.
"That the annual celebration of the
birthday of King George V. will sur
pass anything undertaken in that line
is assured. The meeting Monday at
the hail to arrange for the affair waB
largely attended and everybody waB
enthusiastic and in favor of sparing
neither pains or money to make it the
biggest ever.
"The question of the day for holding
the celebration was discussed and, as
the 3rd. the King's birthday, falls on
Tuesday, it was decided to celebrate
on the preceding Saturday, May 31.
"The matter of having the baseball
grounds put in good condition was dis
cussed and W. L. Phelps of the direc
tors of the N. S. A. A., agreed to have
the desired work performed.
"Manager Graves of the baseball
team spoke encouraging terms of the
material from which to select a win
ning bail team, saying that there are
a number of players available in town
and at the Pueblo mines who have
available records on the diamond.
"The various committees will meet
at the hall next Monday night to re
port progress and apportion the mon
ey raised for the sport events.
"It Is confidently believed that a ball
team will be goten together here this
year that will prove the champions of
the North. The Cobb brothers, Ty
and Corn, as well as the Wad brothers,
Gun and Tight, are now in the local
ity and are all old leaguers.
"Secretary Grant has already for
warded invitations to the ball teams as
well as to the citizens of Skagway,
Haines, Fort William H. Seward, Ju
neau. Douglas, Treadweli and other
poidts to be present and help us make
the 31st a long time to be romembered.
There will be good prize money and
the best men will be welcome to it
when they win it."
WILSON DOES NOT
EXPECT AMENDMENTS
WASHINGTON. May 12? President
Wodrow Wilson does not expect the
tariff bill to be materially amended
in the Senate. He told callers he did
not credit the report that wool would
be taken from the free list. He has
heard views of many who wish to
see a duty retained on wool, but sees
110 reason to change his position. The
argument for the retention of duty on
sugar also has made no impression
on him.
