BAD IMPRESSIONS ..
 BEING GIVEN OUT
GOssips and Shallow Sheets
 Injure Skagway Route.
TRAVELLERS
Idea spread That This Place Was Hurled Forever Under snow-Re. port the Hoad Closed Month.

Although one If not the most severe and the heaviest of snow storms ever known In Skagway and on the White Pass pre- vailed the last few weeks, and made tray el to and from the interior with any con- siderable amount of freight impossible. persons on foot were enabled to get back and forth nearly any time with the exeep- ton of few days. and now the railroad Is open and running as freely as in summer, but reports have been brought by persons who arrived from the south that an im- presslon has been given through certain talking wiseaeres and certain shallow Alaskan publications, one .of which issues ln Sksgway, that the White Pass & Yu- kon road would be blocked.
 Capt. Foote, of the steamer Danube. when last In port. said this sort of lm- preston was being spre Id in the south much to the injury of the reputation of the route.
 A party of men that came up on the last Farallon from the Sound report that even near Ketehikan they were told that Skagway was buried in the snow and that everything WIS bloekaded indefinitely and probably would not be open for long time. The people who spread the report were mine owners at Johnson's inlet, four miles from Ketchlksn, where the ship put in with some supplies for the opening of new properties. The owners of the mines wanted 10 hire the men, and offered them s2 80 day and bo%d. The men are: F. Wldemann, Hugh Robinson, w. A. Crlek, H. N. Badger, J. Finne, N. B. Finley, G. Zurbruck, from Burlington. Sksgit county Washington, and John M:Mahon, Arthur Stors, Ed and Robert Friedlund. They are enroute to Dawson 10 work.
 The party finds that they could have bought Yukon outfits here just as cheap as in Seattle, barring the slight difference of added cost of fr.ight, and that they wish they had bought here as they would have had the advantage or better advice as to what Is best suited for travel on the trail. They were told before starting that Seattle was the only suitable place to buy.
 The report was spread on the Sound also they say, that th: railroad was bIoekaded and probably would not be open for a month. but just about the time the ship sailed they heard the road was open.
 "The idea still exists among many even on the Sound" says member of the party, "that Alaskan winter travel Is as great terror as ever, and that man coming here jumps right into a snowy wilderness instead of into the improved Northland. Why, even Juneau paper gave US the impression that Skagway was nearly buried in snow by saving the streets here were tunneed."
 Ed. Friedlund,one of the party, Is a vet eran of the Filipino war. He was with Company D, First Washington.

LARGE HOUSE TO OPEN
skagway 10 uavs a Modern Big Department Store.

Skagway is to have a big modern de. partment store, the first in Alaska. The site has been secured, and one of the mem- bers of the enterprising firm that Is to en- gage in the venture has gone to the states to purchase stock and fixtures.
 Kaufman Brothers. the progressive firm now in the general dry goods business on Broadway, will be the owners and proprie' tors of the big department store. They have just bought 2S feet frontage adjoin- ing their property on Fifth avenue oppo- site the postoffice. and now have a site 50 by % feet, on which they will erect a building for the big emporium.
 The front of the lower story will be wholly of plate glass.
 Nat Kaufman, of the Juneau house of the same firm. left few days ago for the east to purchase the stock and the fixtures. Just before leaving he visited Skagwav, and was mu:h gratfed over the splendid business activity of this city.

That there are yet opportunities in the Klondike to speculate to advantage Is demonstrated in a report brought out by George w.
