Yukon River Is Open
And First Boats Sail
WHITEHORSE. Juno 2?The Yu
kon river. the great artery of interior
commerce, is open for navigation
again from one end to the other. The
first boat to sail for Dawson, the
White Pass steamer Alaska, got away
at 28 minutes past S o'clock last night
She was followed by the White Pass
steamers Tanana and C&sca at 10 o'
clock. The Alaska and Tanana are
American boats, and will go through
to Fairbanks. The Casca is a Cana

SUSIE LEAVES SPOUSE AND
GOES NIGHT PROWLING
I
DOUGLAS. June 2.?Susie Dooley
had some infelicity with her help-'ra-eat
last n.ght and left the family cage on
Mayflower Island and started out at
2 a. m. for a joy night on the water
front. Susie is a bear that does not:
improve with age. When she was a
small cub Mayor M. J. O'Connor had
her trained in the way that a lady
like boar should go. but during the'
past few years she has broken away
from his influence and has become the,
talk of the town.
Last night Susie broke out and
frightened the inhabitants of the wa
terfront until they called Marshal Sha
fer for protection. Mr. Shafer was
never on very good terms with Susie
and could not coax her to go home j
and be good; so he called up Mayor:
O'Cononr and asked for advice. Mr.
O'Connor told him to shoot Susie If j
necessary, but to keep her out of mis
chief until he arrived. Then theyj
shooed her over on Mayflower Island
but couldn't get her to go into her
cage, and she is still marooned on the
Island, with the result that sightseers1
are avoiding that place of recreation,
until the lady makes up her mind to
go home.

TIGERS WIN EIRST
COMPLETE VICTORY
To C. W. Young's Tigers, composed
entirely of basebal players that are
employed in one store, belongB the
honor of being the first Juneau base
ball team that ever made a clean
sweep of the baseball honors at a cel
ebration at Skngway or Whitehorse.!
Their victories were complete, and
they surprised tho denizens of the
farther North immensely. Tho atti
tude before the games was that the
Tigers should be treated well as guests
who had come to help them celebrate,
but non considered them seriously as
ball players.
However, there was a diftorenco
when they had won two games at
Whitehorse and had a combined Skag
way-Fort Seward team at Skagway,
going, when the game was forfeit
ed by the I,ynn canal players In tho
fifth inning. The Tigers had two men
in, an one on second base and no outs,
when the end came.
The agreement was that the Skag
way game was to go nine innings. The
Tigers put Wright in to pitch the first
few innings because Frye hail pitched
two games the day before. The com
bination team got seven runs In on
*v r'Kbt. when Frye was put in the
box and the Indian sign became visi
ble once more. The Tigers had Just
begun to score, when the Lynn canal
players quit.
At both Skagway and Whitehorse
the weather was cold, and the wind
blowing. Conditions were not favor
able to low scores.
Manager C. W. Carter says one of
the features of the games was the com
petent and fair umpiring of Ed. J. Bar
ry. of Skagway.
While the Tigers came back pretty
much bruised up, they brought all the
honors with them. Zott was hit in
the eye with a foul tip; Wright sprain
ed his ankle; Cornell was spiked, and
Mosier more or less damaged, but on
ly Wright had to quit playing.

RICHARDS WELL ENOUGH
TO WATCH BALL GAME
?+?
TREADWELL, Juno 2.?J. C. Rich
ards, foreman of the Mexican mine
has been sick and in bed for several
weeks, but has been recovering for
the past few days. When the Tread
well-Douglas-Juneau game was called
.yesterday, Mr. Richards was willing
to risk his life to see it and insisted on
getting out of bed, but his nurse would
not let him get up, so the household
compromised with him by wheeling
the bed out in front of the window
where the sick man could get a view
of the players. He could only see the
outfield, but that was some satisfac
tion to an old fan like Mr. Richards,
and when he learned that the Island
boys had won, it acted as a healing
tonic, better than medicine.

they say that the failure to locate
gold in paying quantities outside of

PRESIDENT EXPECTS
PEACE TO RESULT
WASHINGTON, June 2.?President

at any time since the mediation was

plan that will be satisfactory to the
Constitutionalists and that will permit

he is willing to do.

ALASKA SHOULD HAVE
EXHIBIT AT FAIR
The purpose of Senator Jones to
amend the sundry civil bill to provide
for an Alaskan building and an ex
hibit at the San Francisco exposition
will meet with the approval of every
friend of the Northland, here and
elsewhere. Doubtless Senator Jones
Is proceeding in the only way by
which an appropriation of $200,000
can bo secured. It is unlikely that
congress, with its calendar crowded
with measures which must be left
waiting at adjournment time, could
be induced to pass a special bill.
The administration can provide no
better object lesson for the country
than to install at San Francisco an
exhibit of Alaskan products which will
show convincingly that the expendi
ture of $25,000,000 for a railroad is
amply justified. The opposition to
the Alaskan railroad bill came largely
from Congressmen unfamiliar with the
magnificent resources of the North.
Even yet there are millions of people
In this country who have but a vaguo
idea of the natural wealth of Alaska.
Probably among the thousands of
visitors at the exposition there will be
many who are uninformed concerning
the real Northland.
The discussion of Alaska in the
newspapers and magazines within the
last six months has aroused a public
Interest never before known. Now
that the government has taken the
first step toward developing the great
Territory, tho demand for information
is increasing. Probably there will be
no attraction at San Francisco which
will surpass the Alaskan exhibit in
general interest That will depend up
on its being well done, and the friends
of Alaska should see to It that the pro
posed exhibit is adequate. ? Seattle
