JAMES f. WILMANS
ANSWERS CALL
Of Death At Advanced Age of
SO Years Surrounded by
Family and Loved Ones.

Captain James Edward Will
mans, aged SO years last Novem-
Der, died at his home in this
city at 2:30 o'clock Tuesday az
ternoon, surrounded by his fam
lily and beloved Children. The
end came peacefully after a day
in which his decline had been
gradual, for several weeks i'll
ness had so weakened his frail
body that physicians had given
up hope Of staying the call that
comes to all mortals.
The funeral services will be
held Wednesday afternoon at 3
o'clock from the Methodist
church conducted by Rev. B. L.
MILFORD and assisted by Rev.
Henry E. Spears, interment fol-
lowing in Walnut Grove ceme-
terry.
The deceased is survived by
six children, Mrs. M. A. Dorsey,
Mrs. j. S. Jones, Mrs. Ignatius
Sprigg, Messrs. E. B. and R. D.
Wilmans and Mrs. Walter Har-
ris. To these sorrowing fami
lies and many other near ones
through ties of kinship and
friendship who feel keenly the
loss of this beloved one, is ex-
tended the sympathy Of q host Of
friends. Better than this senti-
ment and feeling of friends, they
have an enduring comfort in the
knowledge that the departed
soul after a long and fruitful
life has been called to an heaven
ly home above, that death comes
not as a summons to a hopeless
grave, but ushers in the life i'm
mortal among the saints above.
The deceased was a native of
Kentucky, but came to Arkan-
sas in 1859 prior to the outbreak
of the civil war. His first home
was at Jacksonport and later at
Elgin. Returning to Kentucky
in 1864, he was only there a few
years and again located in this
county in 1867.
He was almost a lifelong
member of the Methodist
church. Ever loyal in church
and Christian devotion, he was
equally jealous in every moral
uplifting movement and never
hesitated to stand boldly and
bravely in the forefront to battle
for what an active enlightened
conscience directed him.
In the sunset years of his life,
when business cares and respon-
sibilities had been set aside, 1t
was his happy fortune to enjoy a
very sweet and unusual compan-
ionship with not only his own
children, but their children and
their children's children.
He was member of the Ma
sonic lodge and six years ago
was the nominee of the Prohibi-
ton party in this state for gov
ernor. In his later years, his
mind retained the quick percep-
ton and activity that is accord
ed men in their prime. The ties
of family affection were natural
and strong in the departed anc
his later years were indeed q
heritage accorded to but few
Like Paul of old, he might wei
have said 81 have fought a gooc
fight, l have finished my course
/ I have kept the faith: Hence
forth there is laid up for me
crown of righteousness, whlcf
the Lord, the righteous judge
sball olive me that day."

UNIQUE INDUSTRIES ARE
 PLANNED FOR SKAGWAY
O-O-

SKAGWAY, Nov. 15-A reindeer station and school for the instruc- tion of natives of Alaska in the art of wood carving and the manufacture of commercial toys, fancy furniture, etc, is one of the future possibilities for Skagway, if the efforts now being made by David N. Kukill materialize, and from the encouragement he has received from various influential sources, it is highly probable his en- deavors will be crowned with success.
 MT. Hukill called on w. T. Lopp when he passed through Seattle on his return to Skagway, and the latter informed him if he could demonstrate to the satisfaction of the department that the White Pass city location would afford sufficient forage for herd of reindeer, he OOpp) would in- clude in his next years budget a re- quest for an appropriation of $1O,OOO of government money to install the enterprise.

SkAGWAY FLOWERS FOR
 RICHARDSON BANQUET

The Juneau people have had in mind for some time l banquet to he rendered to Maj. Richardson of the Alaska road commission when he ar rives in that city on his way to Wash ington. It was understood he would be a passenger on the last trip of the Alameda south from the Westward and the event was scheduled to take place on the boats arrival in Juneau. Her man Grimm, being an old time friend of the Majors, and wishing to do him honor, prepared and sent to the ban quet committee large box of beau tiful, home grown flowers for the de- coration of the tables. Unfortunately, however, Major Richardson, for some reason, was not on board the Alameda, and the date of the banquet had, in consequence, to be postponed.-S -Skag- way Alaskan.

INDIANS SETTLE DISPUTE
 IN OLD TRIBAL WAY


 HAYNES, Nov. 15.-The old tribal customs, notwithstanding the many years of the white mans supremacy in the North, still prevail to a certain extent among the Alaska natives. A case in point is that of James Adams, of Skagway, who, accompanied by sev- eral of his relatives, came to Haines, where Adams will seek to recover damages for an injury recently inflict- ed on him by a member of another tribe.
 It appears that Adams, in an alter cation with a Haines native suffered an injury to his face and, according to the tribal laws, is entitled to dam ages therefor. If it is found on in vestigation at the coming conference between the two tribes that Adams as sailant was the aggressor, his tribes men will have to pay for the damages inflicted, and from this verdict there is no appeal.

PEOPLE SMILE AT SKA6WAY
 CORPORATIONS WARFARE

Owing to a warfare being waged be- tween the White Pass railroad and the Home Power Company at Skag- way, the citEsns of that city are get ting some amusement out of the af- fair. correspondent writing to the Whitehorse Star has this to say:
 Travel being practically over for the season, there is little of interest at present in Skagway aside from the nice little warfare being waged be- tween the railroad people and the Home Light & Power Co. AS one re- suit of the disagreement there is no light on the wharf except that emitted from the engine headlights located at irregular intervals on and about the wharf. The electric light company, not being able to agree with the railroad company as to the price it should pay for light, the latter discontinued the service and, save for the fitful rays from the locomotive headlights above referred to, darkness stalks rampant on the wharf and lanteens are in de- mand. Only those who have business which must be attended to now go to the wharf at night and they do not stay any longer than necessary.
 Tn retaliation for the shutting off of the light, the railroad people ordered the Home P Company to shut off the water with which the wharf was being served and the result is that steamers are now taking sufficient water at Ju- neau to last until they are able to re- turn there. Thus is Skagway deprived of marketing her water which, next to scenery, is her longest suit. Besides being used by steamers, it is in de- mand for 'chasers.'"
