c. B. Haraden Says Tanana
 Will be Great Camp

"The Panama will be 3 great camp next year" so remarked c. B Hara- den, managr of the Ross-Higgins Com pany, who arrived from that country on the train last night. He thinks, however, that it will probably be over done this year. Said he;
 "The output of the Tanana up to the time of my departure this spring has been variously estimated from more than s4OO, ,OOO to more than s7OO,OOO. l think a safe and conservative estimate of the spring cleanup would be s5OO,OOO'
 "There is gold there in great ,luanti- ties, but it is not a poor mans camp this year. Next year it will be all right for any who may go there. The danger is that the camp will be over done this year by stampede of poor men into the country. The merchants at both Cinema and Fairbanks have agreed to give no credit, and grub and expenses are very high.
 "There will probably be 60OO people in the Panama before the close of the rush into the country this fall, and not less than 2OOO of them mnst come out for the winter"
 Mir. Haraden says he is well satisfied with his venture in lower Yukon job ping. He thinks that country wirl one of these days be a-Eeal,G5n1amer oi the products of civilization.

Card of Thanks

To the Editor, Daily Alaskan: l take this means to thank those citizens of Skagway who gave me such loyal sup port for member of the school board at the election held during my absence; especially do I thank the ladies who contributed so largely to my majority. While l was in no manner a candidate for the position and the support l re- ceived was entirely unsolicited, it is ap- preciated all the more on that account.

FAST BALL
Last Nights Game Was an
 Interesting One
White Poss. 3: Thlrd Infantry, }.

White Pass, 3; Third Infantry, ?.
 Probably the fastest game of baseball that was ever played on the Skagway diamond was that last night when the White Pass team defeated the Third In'antry crack team, by a score of 3 to ?. The game began at 7;30 o'clock, and only seven innings were played. This was by agreement, because of the danger from failing daylight.
 One of the remarkable features of the game was a triple play by the home team, at first, home and third Byrnes brought forth cheers by pulling down out of the high sky, at second, a red hot liner that was making for deep center with the speed of a cannon ball.
 The soldiers furnished good umpire in the person of J. G. Hart.
 The soldiers made both their runs in the first half of the first and the White Pass made all their runs in the last half of the last inning.
 The score was:
 White Pass. 0 O U O O 0-0 Third Infantry ry........2 O 0 O O o O-2
 Another game has been called for this evening at 6 o'clock, and it should be a close one, though the White Pass team will be weakened by the absence !. of several Of its best players. It is evident that a new force has aP- peared in the northern baseball world.

B,yan In Dramatic Situation
 Eight names were placed in nomina- tion, and the appearance of the dawn Of a new day made it necessary to limit the monotinous seconding speeches to four minutes. An exception was made in the case of William J. Bryan, who, in one of the most dramatic situa- tions witnessed in American politics, addressed the convention in his most eloquent and forceful manner, second the nomination of Senator Francis M. Cockerill, the "favorite son" candidate from Missouri.
 Tribute to CockeFill
 One of the features of the convention was the tribute of the delegates to Sen ator Cockerill. When his name was placed in nomination by Champ Clark, the delegates already weary of the tedi- ous and trying session, paused in their labors and indulged in a demonstration that continued for half an hour. Every delegate and spectator joined in the cheering and waiving of flags, It was

abandoned the afternoon call,
changed their happy garments
for working costume and
thrown themselves earnestly iu-
to the mad pleasures of the
cuisine. But Mrs. Penhatcbt
has acquired wisdom. That af-
ternoon call, positively could
not be put off. Besides, it was
unnecessary to do anything so
desperate, she reflected. She
could trust Elizabeth Ann, who
was a wonder at the gas range.
In two minutes Mrs. Pen
Ratchet had planned the dinner
and had written out the order
for the grocer and butcher. Tue
next question was to dispatch
it to these eminent tradesman,
and as Elizabeth Ann was in
that condition of domestic
dishabile which precluded her
going into the streets Mrs. Pen
Ratchet drafted the services of
little Willie Winters from the
ueighboring yard, pressed a
dime into his willing fingers,
addressed him earnestly upon
the necessity for haste in trans
hitting the order and sent him
upon his way. These things &C
complished and Elizabeth Ann
having received detailed direc
tons as to the preparation of
the meal which was to snow
Mr.. PenhatChet's English
friends that Chicago people do
not live upon roots and herbs,
that gentleman's wife went
blithely upon her way to make
her call.
The slow hours of the after.
noon dragged along without
bringing anything to Elizabeth
Ann, down in the hot kitchen,
except a haunting conviction
that something was wrong
somewhere. She did not be
come really worried until it was
past 4 o'clock and there was
nothing doing 10 the line of pro-
visions from the grocer's. For
all her skill at the range at the
range, it must be admitted that
Elizabeth Ann is not particular
ly Iesourceful. Ia the absence
of the directing mind was just
then making an afternoon call.
Eliza beth Ann was helpless.
She had one brilliant thought
wave, however. She could boil
the potatoes. Then she could
plead that she had done the
best she could with what was
on hand.
The lonely potatoes were
bubbling merrily on the range
and Elizabeth,Ann was vaguely
wondering what would happen
next when Mrs. Penhatchet
came home.
The things didn't come yet
explained elizabeth Ann, sim
ply.
What" shrieked Mrs. Pen
Ratchet. And it's after five
O'Clock! How do you expect to
get any dinner at this hour of
the night? That little wretch
of a Winters boy must have
gone to the wrong store or for
gotten to go at all or some
thing. Get your things on right
away. Elizabeth. We will have
to have some canned stuff"
Elizabeth Ann was stirred in
to a semblance of normal life
by the vivacity of her mistress

Slty OF timed stun you Amerl-

Mrs. Penhatcbet heard the
rasping of Elizabeth AIMS can
opener in the kitchen as it rip
ped open her prizes, and she
grew sick at heart.
"Canued?" she managed to
echo family.
Eyes, canned meat and vege.
tables and fruit and beans and
oh, everything" said Mr..
Simpson. I'VE finally came to
the conclusion that the Ameri-
can people enjoy that sort Of
er-condensed stuff. Isn't it
remarkable, Howard?" be con-
cluded, appealing to his com
panion.
That's merely a series of
c)incldences, l assure you,'
s lid Mr.. Penha, Chef, warmly.
"Why, we haven't had bit
of canned stuff in the house Tor
oh, l don't know how long.
How long is it?" he asked. APP
pealing TO his wife.
Pm sure can't say. Tom"
she managed to say "Will you
excuse me for just moment? l
have forgotten something" and
before they could murmur their
consent she had dashed out into
the kitchen and seized Eliza
beth Ann traglcally.
This won't do" she said
b oarsly, well have to do some
thing else"
They amt got nothing else, !"
said the alarmed housemaid.
and the array of cans tended to
prove her statement. Mrs.
Ratchet glared at her in horror
and dismay and tnIught rapid
ly. Her glance wandered to the
window and became fixed upon
the open window of the Winters
residence next door. Suddenly
she flung Elizabeth Aun from
her with a force that carried
that worthy young woman off
her feet.
I've got it," muttered Mrs
Penhatchet, with the exultant
air of the starving miner who
has finally struck gold, and she
dashed out through the kitchen
door. The next moment she
presented haggard but deter
mined face TO the startled Win
tiers family, which was just set
Ting down around the family
board.
Il want that dinner" cried
MIS-. Penhatchet.
Mrs. Winters arose in sur
prise and Mr.. Winters almost
swallowed the glass he had
raised to his lips. In a few
words the distracted housewife
explained the desperate situa-
ton and the Winters family
sprang to the rescue. Eliza.
beth Ann was summoned to as
sist Hulda in carrying a juicy
roast of beef, smoking hot po-
tatoes and vegetables, salad,
desert and all the trimmings
into the Penhatchet dining
room, lwhile the corned beef and
other truck the guests held in
such scorn were deftly trans
ferred to the Winters table.
Ten minutes later Mrs. Pen
Ratchet sweetly led the way to
the dining room.

recipients of Il heavy pounding at the
hands of the good ladies of the Method

them, it seems, thought that a pound
ing was the better way for them to
manifest their estimate OF the good old
brothers services to that part of the
congregation that could not get away
from home during tie heated term and
proceeded in the form of a CLUB" to the
old patriarch's home and emptied the
contents of n full-sized cornicupia OF
good things into his Iarder. Brother
Cunningham had served the church as
preacher pro TEN during the absence OF
Bro. Bowen and had been so faithful
and satisfactory in the work that the
ladies thought thai he ought to be paid
in kind for his services. 1t is needless to
say that in this instance the recipient
