EVENTS A3E
 POSTPONED

The severe storm that is raging on Lynn canal today is the cause of the postponement of seeyeraI inter- estiug events that were scheduled to take place in Skagway tonight as 1t was thought best to not make the attempt to reach here on the government boat Peterson, which had been engaged to bring a large party of people from Haiues who were to take part in them.
 At the Masonic hall elaborate preparations have been in progress to put on work in N. lL degree. with banquet at the conclusion of the ceremony. The degree work and the banquet have been put off to some future time. but the regular work of the lodge will be gone thru with.
 The Moose bowling team of Fort Seward this morning telcgraphed challenge to the Elks team of Sl,ag- way to play a series of three games on the local allies at 8 o'clock to- night and the challenge had been accepted. This event had also to be postponed, but will no doubt be pull ed off in the near future.

THE SKAGWlY CHRISTMAS TREES
 WERE LOADED WITH GOOD THINGS

as being endowed with exquisite taste in the proper and appropriate display of the same.
 A beautifully decorated Christmas tree occupied the rear end of the hall and when Kris Kringle made his appearance through the large transem over the back door at 8:30 o'clock, there was a murmur of de- lighted expectancy throughout the large room from the children who had gathered to await his coming.
 Santa Claus stay was brief but
 afOre his departuer he left a sub stantial reminder of his presence in the shape of gifts for every child of school ace in SkagWay.
 Rev. L. H. Pedersen of the Skag- way M. E. Church, had been chosen as the dispenser of the good things prepared by the committee of ar engagements and the gentleman went through his duties in such a droll and entertaining manner that the two hours consumed in the pleasant task passed away quickly.
 In addition to over 200 gifts pro vided by the Arctic Brotherhood there were as many, if not more, re- ceived from people of the town who took that method of bestowing them.
 It was a pleasing continuation of a very commendable affair, and one that has occupied the minds of the donors for several weeks past, and the Daily Alaskan congratulates them upon the success that attended their labors.

BELLNIAN LAUDS POLICIES
 ADOPTED BY PRES. KANE

Seattle. Dec. 26-In commenttn upon the policies adopted by pr. Thomas Franklin Kane as head of the University of Washington, the BeIlman, a weekly literary journal published ill Minneapolis, said re- gently:
 The president of the university Dr. Thomas Franklin Kane, believes that a state supported university should cooperate in the development Of the state; should furnish trained logging engineers to direct the cut ting of it's millions of acres of for est. mining engineers for its min eral resources, electrical engineers for it's countless water powers, and biologists to preserve and increase Its wealth of sea food Training in the practical application of theo- reticaI knowledge is furnished and insisted on by the University, and practice and theory go hand in hand throughout the college course, pro ducing class of men who are not mere theorists, but who, when in charge of others, not only know how any particular work should be car ried out, but are able to give an ac- tual demonstration. This same ten deucy is noticeable in all educationa institutions today, but at the Uni ersity of Washinton it is the most striking characteristic of the sys- tenn of instruction"

ALASKA'S COAL DE-
vELoPMEyT RETARDED

The development of the coal re- sources of Alaska, according to a statement in a report on the min eral resources of the United States issued by the United states Geolog- ical Survey, has been held back on account of the lack of legislation permitting the exploitation of the known extensive and valuable fields. In 1912 the commercial product of coal In Alaska amounted to only 355 tons. In addition 900 tons wer mined under the direction of the Bureau of Mines for testing by the United States Navy. The imports of coal into Alaska amount to about 100000 tons annually, but most of the transportation and manufact- uring industries of the Territory now depend on California oil for their fuel.

LAWN TENNIS CHAMPIONSHIP
GOES TO AMERICAN PLAYERS
Associated Press.

ASsOclatSu 1TeSS.
London. Oct. 9.-The loss of the
Dwight F. Davis cup, emblematic of
the worlds lawn tennis champion
ship in doubles, which went August
2S to a team of American players
has been followed by the usual
stream of journalistic criticism, de-
void, however, of that acrimony
which marked British comment on
the outcome of the last Olympic
games.
The chief subject of this postmor-
TEN investigation is the American
smash service. An anonymous
writer in the Standard began the
discussion by denouncing the smash
service as a trick stoke which should
be barred by legislation. Just as the
spot shot was in billiards. The cor
respondence thus started has gone
merrily forward with the opponents
of the famous service apparently in
the minority. The discussion has
broadened until it includes the ques-
tion of the propriety of including
lawn tennis in the playing curricul-
um of the public schools, and the
problem of replacing the present
English veterans with younger play
ers
Underlying all oil the criticism and
suggestions are indications of dis
appointment over the defeat, which
lead some correspondents to deplore
the whole controversy as evidence
that the English are bad losers. One
advocate of the American game con-
cludes his letter as follows: THE
present wailing seems to me to be
more suited to kindergarten than
tn nation of - Anntbpr
signing herself Athletic Girl says:
Il have read the letters and articles
on the loss of the Davis cup with in
creasing irritation. The most alarm
ing symptom of the decadence of
English sport is the spirit in which
defeats are taken. We no longer up
hold our traditions and take our
beatings like men, but whine ana
snivel in the columns of the daily
press as to the reasons of our de-
feat"

Hufchinson's 8 Talk

Reducing Sunday labor to a min
imum and making allowances for a
weekly rest for those who must work
Sundays and opportunities of giving
the latter class religious uplift, is
the problem which Rev. James p.
Hutchinson of Colorado Springs,
spoke upon at the prayer meeting in
the Presbyterian church last eve
ming, before a large number of peo-
pie.
He stated in the course of his
remarks that three political parties
placed 'one days rest in seven" in
their platforms in the last campaign
and the American Association of La
Dor Legislation has placed it first
among objects to be obtained for the
toiler's betterment. He stated that
over Z per cent of Massachusetts,
population before the passage of, the
one-day-in seven rest law were la
boring every day and Sundays. His
talk was interesting statistical and
carried strong lesson.
