CITY CAMPAIGN
 AWBKENS MEN

The "Beautify the City" campaigl
 is now forming. Citizens are flock ling 10 the ranks and enlisting their services for a cause which is bound tu benefit every property owner
 business man, and resident of this beautiful little city, tucked away in the hills of Alaska.
 People are awakening from the Rip Van Wrinkle atmosphere and have cast their slumberous robes from around their dormant bodies and have seen the first peep of daylight as it slowly shoots it's brightening rays over the brim of the hills which line the townsite of skagway.
 The Commercial club has adopted the slogan, "Co-operatioR one and all for Alaskans and Alaskan Insti- tutiOns," ," to live out the principles of this slogan it is essential that every nan, woman and child coop crate with one another in the ef- fort to make this the slickest little spot in the nOrthland. How can it be accomplished we are asked? Very simple-let each citizen awake the civic pride for his home, his city, his personal self, which peace fully sl2mbers within his being, Soon the old shacks will give way modem equipped homes, not houses, y2rGs will be cleaned and civic pride will rule your future course.
 An opportunity is coming to Skag way that has never before presented itself to show the important men, men who have world wide experienG that we have the gods to back up the statements which we have made about cur city,
 As a final course, if citizens can not gather themselves together and place their property in a presentabla condition. the city w.ll take ever the legal rights which it possesses and through condemna- tiOn proceedings level the old un- slightly buildings which are a meme Q to the public safety, health and mo. ! alty, to the ground.
 Such drastic action will not be necessary as everybody is offering their services in a cooperative spir- it with the council and commercial club in the effort to accomplish the results

SEEK REFUSES GOLD
Relieve Eccentric Millionaire Hoarded
Gold in Hiding Place.

Chicago. Aug. 2s.-Seeking hidden
gold coins, appraisers will search the
premises of Edwin W. Morrison, the
aged recluse whose wasted fortune is
the subject of investigation by the
federal court. According to Francis
]. Houlihan, attorney for the receivers,
a formal court order will be asked
tomorrow directing a search for the
gold. The garden of the old mans
home will be spaded by the searchers
after buried treasure and the walls of
the ramshackle home will be probed.
That vast sums of money have pass
ed into Morrison's hands in recent
years is asserted by attorneys. 1t is
also claimed that while he spent and
gave away ihs money wit ha reckless
hand, he had a passion for boarding
gold coins, and would seldom part
with one. AS there is no trace of any
large sums of gold being deposited in
banks, it Is believed by the receivers
that a secret hiding place may be To-
Gated at Morrison's home.
Tomorrow J. R. Ward, who holds
deeds to 100000 worth OF Nor
rison's property, will be asked to pro-
