 Good Debate Tonight.

Special arrangements have been made for the joint meeting of the Y. N. C.. A. Debating Club and Literary Society to- night in the Y. N. C. A. rooms. A good musical programme has been selected. which will be assisted by a gramaphone.
 In the debate Walter Church will take the affirmative and Rev. Davis will defend the negative of the following question: Resolved, That existing conditions are more conclusive to mans happiness than those of century ago." This question embraces great held of thought and there will probably be some good speeches from the house.

SUMMER TRAVEL EXPECTED.
Az Soon as NavI alton on the Lakes
 Is opened.


 T. A. Davis arrived on the City Of Seattle yesterday morning on his way to Dawson, where he goes to represent the |. This is Mr. Davs' second year in Dawson as representative of the P.'l. He says that their servi;e will be more com pl,te this year than ever before, including a thorough service to Atlin district, with agencies at Log Cabin, Bennett, Fort Sel- kirk and Dawson, as we'll as on all the creeks in the different mining districts ad- jacent to Dawson. A special design of shipping bags and tags will be used in the sOrvlee this season.
 Mr. Davis states that headquarters for the distribution of the P.'l. for the entire Yukon district will be at Skagway, the same as last year. The P.-l. recognizes Skagway ss the leading commercial port for the various mining districts of Alaska and the Northwest Territory, and as the P.-l. desires l. keep thoroughly abreast of the times 1t makes this point the center of all its operations.
 "ln two weeks time," said Mr. Davis, "travel to the north will begin quite heavl- ly, the prevailing opinion in Seattle being that navigation on the lakes would not be- gin until June Ist and many are delaying their departure until that time. Skagway has received a wonderful amount of adver' Using in Seattle and throughout the eaet during the past few months A great DOT ton of the credit for this belongs to the White Pass & Yukon railway, among the latest being special articles in the Scientific American and Cosmopolitan. A greater part of the coming rgonauts are destined for Dawson. while the travel for Atlin will probably be light.
 "As soon as navigation opens probably ninety per cent of the travel from Dawson and the interior outward bound will be by way of Skagwav. In a recent conversation with II. Maitland Kersey, managing diiee- tor of the Canadian Development Com pany, he stated that his company had al' ready closed contracts with the Two banks in Dawson to bring out by way of Skag- way during the coming summer their pur- ehases of gold dust.
 "This, together with the individual amounts sent out this way, probably means that So Der cent of the gold dust produced IF the Klondlke district during the past winter will pass through Skag- way within the next ninety days. This alone should insure good times among the retail merchants of Skagwav during the entire summer"

Building Committee About
 so Decided.
GRANITE THE MATERIAL
In Abundance on Every side r. ranging for Gala Day When Ground Is Broken for Building Noted Persons Coming From Bs. low to Take Part in Services.

Quietly, but perslstentlv. the soliciting committee of the college has one on with it's work, and, with rare exceptions, they have been met with open handed generos ity. The exceptions to this rule are so rare that it Is scarcely worth naming. The committee has not yet been 10 half of the people who are interested in the future of Skagway.
 The second thOuSand-dollsr line will be reached, the committee feel confident, be- fore the breaking of ground. This Is very gratifying news to many families in Alas. ka that have children 10 educate.
 The committee of arrangements expects to make q gala day when ground Is brok- en for the building. lt is intended to In. vite all the civic societies of the city to participate in these services. Short ad- dresses will be mad. by representative men of the varied interests of Skagway. Dr. E. N. Randall, of Seattle, one of the most popular orators Of the Pacific coast, will deliver an educational address, which will be q rare treat for the citizens.
 For several days the question of build ing material has been under consideration and it has been about determined to build with granite. This will make the build ing considerably more expensive, but it Is believed the citizens will be willing to add a little to their subscriptions for the sake of building in this way. 1t certainly will be suggestive of greater permanence, not only for the college but the city as well.
 Or. Randall and Mr, Lippy, the super intendent or president of Pacific coast Y. N. C. A. work, including California, Or egcn. Washington and Alaska, left Seattle on the Humboldt yesterday, and will reach Skagway about Friday, the 10th. The date for the services will be announced as soon as the trustees can arrange the pro gram. Skagway Is to be congratulated on the prospect of securing an institution Of learning where the children and young people can secure as good educational an' want. geS as in any city in the states.
