Dark Room

Many people say, why do you have a
dark roomy 1t is because the Optician
of today has to be in full knowledge of
the diseased condition of the eye, and
in order to make correct diagnosis he
is obliged to have a dark room. Reti-
noscopy examination of the eye is a
science also in the correction of all
errors of refraction. Permit me to call
your attention to the illiterate and
ignorant patients who can neither read
nor write, or the child who has not yet
learned its letters, and yet suffers from
convergent .strabismus brought on by
hypermetropia. With my retinoscope
can locate and accurately measure the
principal meridians of the eye without
asking single question, but without a
dark room the work could not be
accomplished. No charge for examin-
alton.

All Travellers for Interior

EFFECTIVE RIGHT NOW
Canadian Government Issues Direc-
lions for Protection Against Small
pox of All Persons Passing Into
the Yukon Territory.

All those travelling from or through the
port of Sl<agWaV hereafter into the Yukon
basin will have to he vacinnated or show
a certificate before passing Bennett that
they have been vaccinated but recently.
This order is to be enforced because of the
recent smallpox scare at Dawson and at
Nome.
However, it seems that the smallpox
scare has nearly abated. and that but few
cases exist in the north.
Supt. Rogers, of the White Pass * Iu-
kon railway, Yesterday issued the follows
ing notice:
"The British Columbia Board of Health
have issued instructions that require al
persons travelling into Canadian territory
to be vaccinated, except those who have
been recently vaccinated.
"All persons will be required to pass al
inspection at Bennett, B. c., BY Or. F, j
Nicholson.
persons destined to points in CANADIAN
territory between the Summit and Bennett
will be required to furnish certificate o.
vaccination to the conductor of train, who
will turn such certificate over to the prope
health officer at Bennett, b. c."

HfID'S HANDS ARE FULL
Body Blows" and Upper Cats" of
Daily Alaskan are Enough.

John q. Held, by his failure to keep
faith with his political associates has got
ten himself into verv disagreeable con-
troversy with them. Disagreeable, it
would seem to most people, to Mr.. Held.
After begging his way into the national
convention--and he got in because the
Skagwav delegation trusted him and
would not trust his Jureau colleagues who
stood with them-he accepted the position
OF national committeeman, which the con-
vention specifically voted should be given
to John 6. Prize. ANYBODY may call that
act of Mr.. Held anything they wish. but
the general expression of the republicans of
Alaska and their friends" is that Mr.
Held acted just little Judas lscarotish.
He came home and immediately Jumped
on to" Mr. Price, the man who put him in
the convention. However. this is no fight
of ours and Mr., Held will be left to fight it
out with the DAILY ALASKAN. If he can
stand the "body blows" and upper cuts
of that journal, he is a good one. Juneau

Jack Wade Million Dollar
Case Is Renewed.
CLAIMANTS CAN'T AGREE
plaintiffs Wanted the improvements
Made by Miners Who Developed
the Claims-Property Is Very Rioh
--R. w. Jennings Returns.

The famous Jack Wade creek mining
cases will be fought to finish in the
courts. Robert W. Jennings, one of the
attorneys for the miners who have devel-
oped the creek and demonstrated its value,
returned from Jack Wade creek yesterday.
He lind gone in for the purpose of complet
ing a settlement of the cases according to
the terms OF an agreement that was entered
into at Skagway early in JuIv. Mr.. Jen-
nings said all efforts to reach satisfactory
settlement had failed, and the cases will be
tried in September.
"rhe failure to reach an agreement"
said Mr.. jennings, was on the division of
the property. Neither side desired that the
interests be undivided.
1.-THE miners who have improved the
property. and demonstrated its value by
their labor, believed thew should have
lilUSC pOitlOlS VI upOli WuiNil
their improvements are located. TO this
reasonable demand, the plaintiff refused to
acoeed, so negotiations were suspended.
"We will press a motion for new trial
in the case that was decided against us,
and in the event of failure we will APP
peal 10 the higher courts.
THE cases will come up at the adjourn
ed term OF court which will commence In
Skagwav on September g."
The claims involved in the litigation are
known to be verv rich, and are estimated
to be worth more than 81 700, 900.
Mr. Jennings brought out some samples
of the gold from the claims IN question.
1t is beautiful coarse gold. Much of that
which they call their fine gold would pass
for nuggets In the Atin district. and their
coarse gold would be classed as nuggets in
! the klondike. The coarse gold averages
about the size of lima beans and the sur
face is smooth, resembling the gold from
Porcupine.
Mr.. Jennings displayed few samples of
the fine gold, which he PANIED out of the
rim rock, one morning before breakfast.

Chamber of Commecce Reoei YES IA
Communic ton From California
Bonding Question To Be Laid Be-
fore Treasury Department

There Is a prospect of direct service BY
steamer being given between Skagwav
and San Francisco. The proposition came
before the Skagwav chamber of commerce
last evening, and was freely discussed
The matter was called to the attention of
the chamber last evening by communica-
ton from the Associated Manufacturers of
California, TO H. O. Peterson & Co., local
merchants. The association stated in its
letter that 1t would like to know as to a
guarantee of tonnage from SkagWay mer-
chants to steamship company, and made
/ reference to other cardinal points. 1t was
also stated in the letter that if it could be
shown where the association would be JUS
tilted in sending travelling statesmen to
Skagway it would likely do so.
The chamber discussed the matter freely,
and instructed the assistant secretary to
write encouraging the project and giving
information desired as to the possibility of
tonnage which might be obtained from
Skagwayans inclined to deal direct with
San Francisco.
In the letter to the chamber mention was
also made that the line proposed would
also probably have its steamers call at Ju-

No Cause of Action at the
Time of Suit.
DECIDES FOR ]. PERI
Meyer Brothers, of San Francisco,
Refused II Judgment Against a
Skagway Merchant for Value OF
Unacceptable Goods.

Judge SehIbrede rendered decision yester-
day in the cases of Meyer Bros, of San
Francisco. against J. Perl, the Skagwav
merchant, and Wohlgetham against the
Chignic Bay Coal and Fish Company. In
each case the decision was in favor of the
defendant. Never Bros. had sued Perl for
the value of goods shipped which the lat
ter refused to accept, Perl claimed the
goods, which were portion of a larger
shipment, were different from those order
ed, and he had returned them.
Wohlgetham had sued for wages due
from the Chignic Bav Coal and Fish Com
panv. which had accrued prior to the con-
demnaton of the Camden. Their suit hac
commenced prior to the condemnation Of
the barge, and Judge Sehlbrede held thai
he had no cause of action at that time.
Both cases will probably be appealed.
