Efforts Making to Save the
 Charges on Same.
HOLDING LIQUORS HERE
shippers Believe They Can Keep Them fin Hon ded Ware house Un- uiIJuiy I When New Liquor Li- cense VIII Go Into Effect-'us- toms officials re Waiting for Instructions.

U. s. eonvoys in charge of liquors bond ed through to Log Cabin have not been doing a land office business lately, in fact no liquors have been forwarded for some time for the reason that shippers are en- deavoring to save convoy charges by a new plan of action. There has been some talk among those passing liquors through to British Columbia that, in order to save convoy charges, they will allow their liquors to remain in this port until after July I, when the new liquor license shall be in force, which will enable them to have their liquors entered same as other bonded merchandise.
 The customs officials at this port are not satisfied that these shippers can hold their liquors here with any such object, In view of the fact that in the regulations govern ing the movements of liquors in Alaska there is no provision for warehouslng in- toxieatlng liquors; hence the inference would be that fl the law was strictly en- forced these shippers would have n right to leave their liquor in Skagwav, and the customs officials would be justified in ship. ping it back to British Columbia.
 Al present there is not much liquor com ing for transfer to Log Cabin, for the req son, perhaps, that the embargo placed on all liquor going into the Yukon district has overstocked the liquor market in Bennett. and until that is worked of none will be ordered for either Bennett or Atlin.
 Deputy Co lector Andrews is awaiting the return oi Collector Ives before deciding what action to take in the matter of al- lowing shippers to stack up their liquors in the warehouse here until after July |.

To Take AIasIa Census.

Samuel C. Durham, special agent of the twelfth census of the Northern district of Alaska. is in Seattle en route to his field of labor. He is going to prepare the way for round up of the inhabitants of Alaska and carries blank commissions for eighty men to aid him as enumerators, should he need that force.
 Mr. Durham will cover the Yukon dis trlct, and he hopes to make a complete census. He will remain in Alaska until October, 1900, at which date, he figures, his report will be ready. The agents first stop will be at Circle City, where he will arrange his districts. From there he will go to Kotzebue and KOyokuk, and back to St. Michael.
 The last census of Alaska, and for that matter the only one, was taken in 1890, and showed that out of total of 4o,ooo people there were o,ooo whites. The cen sus of 1900 will undoubtedly show 2 good lv number of people in that country, and Mr. Durham expects hard work.

Definite Steps to Insure It in
 Skagway.
BY BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Prof. T. s, Lippy Proposes n Plan for n General Canvass, Kindly Consenting 10 6o With the Di. rectors-Mass Meeting Called for Next Sunday.

A special meeting of the board of direc' tors was held last evening In the Y. N. C. A. annex to meet with Prof: T. S. Llppv in conference over association matters.
 Prof. Lippy, for many years prior to his taking up with mining interests in Alaska, served in the capacity of general secretary In some Of the leading associations. and Is a man of wide experience in association work At the present time he Is a mem Der of the international committee of the Young Mems Christian Association and chairman of the Pacific Northwest. His purpose in meeting with the local directors was to take some steps to insure the per maneney of this w.rk in Skagwav. He reported that much interest from all over the country Is ing tentered on the work at Skagwav. which is the pioneer in this great Northwest country. The reports that have been made of the work here, both through the local secretary and those who have passed through Skagway on their way to the states, have been very gratifying.
 Mr. Lippv also expessed himself as very much pleased with the result of his per sonal investigation of the work in the To- cal field and congratulated the directors on the effieeney of the same.
 After a general discussion of the work, Mr. Llppy proposed plan for q general canvass, kindly eonsentlng to go personal lv in company with the directors, In order that the work here might be placed Cn a more permanent footing and definite basis
 Thus far no sub eriptlons for the work have been solicited, and while no great amount is needed, for it Is estimated that sI25 per month will properly sustain the local work. vet t is vltaIlv necessary that this amount should be provided for In tho way of a definite income.
 The directors voted unanimously to ae. cept the kind offer of MT. LIppy and pro- ceed at once to push the canvass.
 They voted also to plan, if possible, for public mass meeting for Sunday after noon. at which Dr. Randall, Prot. Lippy and others would speak. Further an nouncement of this will be made later.
 It is hoped that a generous response may be met with in this appeal for so worthy a cause, for no citizen Is so narrow as not to recognize the lood work of the Y. N. C. A. in Skagwav as a public institution.

EARLY OPENING OF
 LAKE NAVIGATION Prospects That It Will Be
 in One Week.
SURFACE WATER ON ICE
Tee stIII Firm Enough for Wagons on summit Lnke-Buiiding n Trail Through Two-MiIe Can. yon - Hallway Graded Hond Good to Bennett.

Chief Engineer Hawkins. of the White Pass road, returned yesterday from a trip to Bennett and reports prospects good for an carly opening of navigation should the weather continue warm, as lt was this last week. The ice on Summit lake, he says, was saie and firm when he came over 1t Tuesday, with the exception of few feet around the edges. At the south end of the lake, which has been planked over in order to make it safe, there Is from six inches to a foot of water and melted snow over the surface of the ice for over five miles. This, however, had not hindered the wagons travelling back anI forth. Then there are two miles through the canyon road which Is on the railway grade to the head of Middle fake. For some time to come yet there will be two miles of pack trail and sled road through this canyon. and from there on there will be a good wagon road on the railway grade direct into Bennett
 When Mr. Hawkins came over this two miles of canyon trail the snow was very soft and travel was not good. so that freight was being handled with eonsldera' bIe difficulty. This new trail through the canyon IS expected to be completed in two or three days. The railway grade from the end of the canyon into Bennett is down hill and in excellent condition. The old trail does not seem to be in use by any body.
 The grade is practically completed from Bennett 10 a point seven miles beyond the summit, and fair progress is being made between the summit and Middle lake. There is still a great deal of snow shovel ing to be done, and within very few days the company will put on all the men that they can possibly get and push the work as rapidly as possible.
 \ As soon as the conditions of th: ice on Summit lake shall preclude further travel over it dynamite will be used to open a channel for the use of small steamer that is now on its way up from Juneau to be transferred by cars to the lake. This boat will then give constant service and will connect with the railway grade road at the foot of the lakes,
 There will naturally be few days be- tween the softenlng of the Ice on Summit lake and the breaking of 1t when the only means of reaching Bennett from the sum- init will be by the old pack trail.
 The company has about 6so men at work on the other side of the summit, beside oveT 100 on this side, ballastlng the grade. Additional men will be put on as the weather and the condition of the snow will permit of it.
 Bennett, Mr. Hawkins says, Is very act i've as the result of the near opening oi navigation and all the new steamers ara ready for launching the moment the ie' clears away.
