In the meantime, City Attorney
Schaub caused a new warrant to be
issued for Allyn's arrest on the
charge OF violating the state law, by
his act of speeding on March 25. Mr..
Allyn was arraigned on this charge
this morning. II was evident that
even IL he did succeed in multiplying

to face the charge under the state
law. for exactly the same offense.
He decided therefore to give up the

O. L Dickesou, the irrepressible "boy president" of the Yukon, is at it again. He recently put over on his newspaper friends from Skagway to Seattle inclusive, a choice story to the effect that be would build a couple of million dollar palatial steamships to ply between Seattle and Skagway. It is presumed that Mr. Dickson will use these steamships for the transpor- tation of tourists who will stop at his Atlin hotel which be SO successfully constructed in the papers last spring, but on which work was stopped early in the season. However, the steam ships may be expected to be Finished as soon as the hotel is ready to receive guests. As it takes fourteen to eigh- teen months to construct vessels of this class it is anticipated by Mir.
