This phone service is an absolute
necessity not only for the vessel owners,

CELEBRATION WILL BE
 ABOUT THE BEST EVER

The final meeting of the Fourth of July celebration committee was held last night at the town hall and all arrangements were completed for the celebration, which, judging by all indications, will be the most sue cessful ever held in Skagway.
 Starting with the dance and bowl ing contests of Friday night which will be participated in by a number Uf visitors from Whltehorse, there will not be dull moment until the kids" baseball game Sunday puts an end to the celebration.
 Many decidedly novel features will be given this year. Besides the baseball games and athletic contests, there will be l0.mile Marathon race, a mountain climbing race to the top of Mt. Dewey and return, mo- tor boat race, beautiful display of fireworks from the top of Nit. Dewey, q hose race, and long list of events for juveniles.
 There will be keen competition in the athletic events, all of which will be held on the baseball grounds where a 1000 foot running track has been prepared and the program so arranged that some contest will be going on all the time. The Douglas Whitehorse and Skagway baseball teams will play and it is quite possi- ble that the Fort Seward team will go after the money.
 In the running races and jumps most of the members of the Fort Seward track team will be entered. There are some good athletes among the soldiers and they will make the races close and exciting.
 Morley, the crack Whitehorse sprinter, is entered and the Cana dians are willing to bet big money that he will win both the 100 and 90 yard dashes.
 A number of good athletes from Douglas and Juneau are expected and Bill Mckay. the half-miler. is expet- ed up from the Porcupine.
 The Marathon race will be q fea- ture of the day. Ernest Rheinmuth, the local runner, has been training for this event since March and he is

the party proceeded to the glacier and made a thorough inspection of that wonderful ice formation.
 The weather was perfect, and as the party was equipped for the trip the journey over the ice was made without mishap.
 From careful observation and meas urement, it was found that the glacier has receeded 1000 feet from the mark made last year. This is an interesting fact, as it shows that the glacier will have receeded back to the mountain in about ten years, if the present rate is maintained.
 Part of the exploring party return ed this morning on foot, while the balance returned on Wednesday af- ternoon's train.
