 There is nothing that adds to the appearance of a table, set for some special occasion like beautiful silver service. and that the choicest and most unique designs can be had right here in skagway, Is well worthy Of note.

An innovation was apparent in the White Pass fami2y when OLDickeso Vice President 6 General Manager extended an open invitation to all employees to attend dinner at the PuIen House. that he might give them a better understanding Of the condi- uons. Nr. Dickeson announced that the meeting was called for two spe- cfic purposes. namely that of becom- ing better acquainted with the men themselves and their needs as well as to give his ideas upon the pres ent day conditions and the future of the Company and the property He referred briefly to the policy outlined in an interview in Seattle before com ing here last spring to the effect that it would not be his policy to bring in men from the outside as long as he could find men in the ranks to Hu the various positions And he stated last night that he had not been disappointed in pursuing such a policy as all the men had put their shoulders to the wheel and demon strated to the fullest extent their abil fry to make good.
 He referred to the fact that this had been a very lean year and that the tonnage Of the company had been about 45 percent of the tonnage Of the previous year. and in view of this condition. which he did not ere ate it did not seem fair that the men should feel badly if the forces were reduced as long as he did not create that condition and he had not made a cut in salaries to meet it.
 He took the position that all the employes present were just as much part os the organization as the management itself and for that req son he solicited their counsel and suggestions as to ways and means to economize and render better service.
 MT Dickeson pointed out to the men that the transportation facilities here were to some extent iu a class by themselves and the rates could nor51,- fv fari7ess he comnared with other roads. but he was very willing to compare with all the roads in Am erica if they would compare all the corresponding conditions. It was pointed out that out Of 224ooo miles of road in the United states. they have a population of 29o people per mile. whereas on the White Pass there was a population of 10 people per mile: that it cost the railroads in the United States seven mills per ton mile to operate whereas it cost the White Pass twelve cents and sev- en mills per ton mile to operate as a result of being so far removed from the source Of supplies and other conditions.
 Mir. Dickeson complimented the me very highly upon their past record in operating the railroad. for the reason that in the past thirteen years Of op-

e7aton they had carried 1So.ooo pas senrers without fatal accident something the American railroads had not been able to accomplish. And tt was stated hat it was not merely an accident that hts condition pre- vaiIed. It was because first the com pauy had put thfr money back in the property and maintained tt at a high degree of efficiency. and had paid high salaries to the very best men to operate it. and it was due largely to these conditions lhat there had been no accidents.
 He pointed out that -he company had under way several matters where by the traffic of the country might be built up. temporarily vigorous ef forts win be made to induce tourists to this part of the country and that there was a possibility that the com pauy would install oil on the road, which in itself is low grade traffic and would increase the company's in come slightly. but that ft had two fold object The greatest one being that of reducing the cost of fuel Co tha .rfn5rg operations in the Kloudik therefore enabling the opera tors to work low grade ores, and there by furnishing additional employment for men.
 He dwelt at some length upon the future possibility oft he country, re- fa-ng briefly to a recent statement in the Seattle Times made by Mir. Jas T. HiI to the effect that MT. Hill had said there was only one frontier coun- uy left where there was a pussibl- fly of graa, development: namely that gr Alaska and the Yukon Terri tory. He is quoted as saying that men receive susteuauoe from three sources: namely agriculture. mining and forestry. and that Alaska and the Yukon Territory were abundanty supplied wtth these resources, and hat ]. was merely "a question of de vistur way to induce men to deyel- op it.
 Mr. Dickeson pointed out as best evidence of the fact that there was possibility in this community of graz ing. that 200 horses were annually
 turned loose in the summer season and returned to winter quarters in the pink Of condition without food from the outside. that the Boundary survey horses were likewise turned loose in winter and were put in ser vice in the spring in the same con and that in his opinion that sufficient effort had not been made to develop agriculture. grazing and other industries from which it was openly apparent residents of the Yu- kon Territory could receive a profit able and permanent income
 All told the meeting was a grand success and the men themselves dis played much interest in the way the problems were laid before them.
