MOVE IN THE DIRECTION OF
4 "SKAGWAY BEAUTIFULLY
Editor Daily Alaskan:

Editor Daily Alaskan:
 As l rambled recently amid the graves in the "old cemetery" l was keenly impressed with the need everywhere apparent, of invoking the tender offices of affection in the care of the precious dead.
 4 more exQuisitely, beautiful spot could not have been chosen for the last resting place of those who, "life's fitful fever o'er," await the resurrection morn. Ma ture has, with lavish bounty, dover cd Gods Acre" with an appealing, tender, restful, beauty. The sweet symphonies, faultless rythm, with tho golden notes of feathered chor- isters; the whispered messages of the eYrant winds amid leafy bow CTS, the diamond-studded spray of leaping cascades, awakens with in our hearts a reYerent sense of recognition of Gods love and power, while the moss-coVered mounds that mark the abiding place of those Asleep in Jesus," re mind Us tLat our own days "are swifter than a weayers shuttle"
 As 1 unused on these things, Mir. Editor, it occurred to me how ap- prOpriate it would be if the ladies Of Skagway would meet and select some Saturday in June or July, when they could assemble at the cemetery and spend the day caring for the graves of the dead?
 The little children could assist, and upon their susceptible hearts would be grayen a lesson of rever- cuce for departed worth. Later in the day the men would no doubt, join with us in this labor of love.
 Many tourists visit this pictur- esque cemetery, lure6 there by the stirring memories of 1898, and they would carry away with them far tenderer recollections if their eyes were greetd by evidences that love had performed her holy rites, where sleeps our saiEted dead.
 So, MT. Editor, is it asking too much that we of Skagway set apart one day out of three hundred and sixty five, as a Memorial Day. day when willing hands and low ing hearts would perform a sacred duty to the dead-a duty that we too must some day require of the living?
 I felt the hush of twilight, On an evening calm and cool; | As one by one each trembling star,
 Lay adreaming in a pool.
 Twas cOnsecrated dust that lay,
 Beneath my reverent tread; An, Skagway's crystal waters sang, A requiem to the dead.
 And peace, like an unseen Angel,
 Athrob with the spirit of prayer; Just showered her benedictions,
 On those loved ones resting there
 Respectfully,
 MRS. EDWARD I. WADE.

Haines, Alaska, May 22-United States Commissioner J. J. Kennedy, has Es1 two gangs of men out fighting fire for the greater part of the last week; one over on the Katzihene river, and the other on the Haines peninsula below Mud bay, and reports that now they have the fire under control.
 E. D. Wood, who has been to the westward as far as Seward, where re went with a view of obtaining employment on the government rail road, has returned to Haines, and says that in his opinion those in charge of the construction work are going at it in the right man- ner, and in the interests of the la boring man; that they are not glY- ing out large contracts, but only small ones which one, two, three or four men can do by their own labor, by that means eliminating all chances for graft and the oD- pression of the men who do the work.
 Some one who did not have the fear of the law before his eyes, stole Mir. Winterbergers bulletin eff of the church door. MT, Winter berger thinks that some one in ia vor of the saloons did it, but it matters not who the guilty one Is, it was wrong, and no fair minded person in Haines will uphold any such work. Nothing is ever gain ed by wrong doing.
 II. O. Banta has gone up to his homestead to establish actual resi- dence, and will only be in Haines from now on as a visitor.

''The, closing Of saloons on Sundays

has thrown hundreds Of cigarmakers

probably will be- slack times in the
cigar industry there until the trade is
given an opportunity to be readjusted
to meet the new conditions.
"cigarmakers are usually the f,rst
to suffer from the closing Of saloons.
Over in Moorhead the cigar factory
went out of business several weeks
before the time designated for the
saloons to close. So it has been in
other localities in Minnesota.
"'The saloons furnish the big mar
ket' for the output Of union cigars.

stores handle very few union made
cigars. They are more partial to

Officers Reach Agreement With
Symphony Orchestra Associa-
ton and All Is Serene.

It was a. cruel blow someone dealt
Ito the members of Duluth Musicians
union this week, when it was charged
that the union was attempting to
hold up the Duluth Symphony Or
chestra association. Nothing could be
farther from the truth.
The members Of the union natur-
ally insisted upon a fair price for
their services, Their time was to be
taken, and as all Of them have to eat
to enable them to live, they expected
to at least be paid wage sufficient
to keep them going. They have no
other income save that which they
get by following their profession.
Fortunately the officers Of the Du-
luth Symphony Orchestra association
viewed the question in the proper
light, in spite of the misleading story
which appeared in a Monday evening
paper, and after a short conference
with officers Of the union satisfac-
tory agreement was made.
AS a. result of this agreement 10
popular priced concerts will be given
in Duluth during the winter begin
ming about Jan. 1.
members Of the musicians union
assured us. Of their friendly co-opera-
ton in the plan for better music, in
Duluth" said F. A. Cokefair, chair
| man of the orchestra association.
Expressions of regret We're heard
from officers and members Of both
! organizations that the spirited discus
sions and negotiations leading up to
the present agreement had indicated
a. serious dispute and reelected un-
Justly upon the musicians union"
Payment of $3.50 for first-chair
men; $3.50 a week for: second-chair,
4 and $11.50 a week for third-chair
musicians was agreed upon at the
conference. Stephen H. Jones and F.
G. Bradbury of the orchestra associa-
ton, and W. J. butcher, secretary OF
the musicians union, were appointed
to decide upon the personnel of the
orchestra. "..-
+ This scale for orchestra parts is
based on six rehearsals, a week OF
two and one-haH hours each and a
concert between 5 and Z. p: M, on
Sundays.
Importation Of eight musicians to
make the orchestra. competent" as
association members: put it, brought
the breach, and the. musicians union
asked that local artists. be employed
before any outsiders were brought in
There are to be twenty-nine must
clans in the orchestra.
About $4,000 has been raised to in
sure the success of Duluth's first sym.
phony orchestra, $4,000 having been
pledged by business men, and 81 900
