THE MOOSE SOCIAL
The greatest success of the season is
only a mild Synonym (?) for the sec
ond social given by the Juneau Lodge
No. 700 Loyal Order of Moose in Odd
Fellows hall Friday evening. There
were over a hundred aud fifty people
present all bent on a pleasant time and
they all certainly had it in good meas
ure.
A program was presented consisting
of songs, solos, recitations and it was
thoroughly enjoyed by all, every num
ber receiving well merited applause
and many of them receiving second
encores.
After the program was rendered the
floor was cleared and tables set for
those that wished to play whist or five
hundred, about a half a dozen tables
were filled and the game began in earn
est. Prizes in both games were given
to the winners. The Moose Orchestra
furnished plenty of swell music to
which many of the people present avail
ed themselves of dancing in the ball
room.
For the gentlemen who did not care
to play cards or dance and who would
rather congregate and indulge in a lit
tle puff or two, and discuss the latest
news and the like, the smoking room
was put into operation with the finest
the market could afford, and shortly
the atmosphere of that particular place
resembled a very cloudy day in Juneau
of which we are so familiar.
The supper was the swellest thing
from the standpoint of its cuisine ac
complishments, served by self appoint
ed Moose waiters galore all had plenty
of everything, from all kinds of sand
wiches, though the routine of salads,
coffee .etc, daintly served. Candies of
all sorts and back again to napkins.
And the quantity of the refreshments
was only excelled by its quality. In
the judgment of all present while the
are A to 1 entertainers they are ‘ster
ling’ providers.
After every single or married mem
ber cr guest, child or grown up had
their till f.nd then some, the pipes were
lit again in the smoking room by the
men. cards were again shuffled and
dealt, the orchestra tuned up and the
dancers began the Terpsicliorian
pleasures again. The fun kept up at
full forte until about 2:30 when tec
satisfied, tired and sleepy Moose and
all present began to break up int.) par
ties of two and three and seek rest at
their several homes. There wras no need
to take a vote as to the success of the
occasion as all expressed themselves
quite forcibly on their enjoyment de
claring it to be the best, swellest and
fmest social ever held in Juneau, and
they all felt and knewr what it meant to
partake of Moose hospitality and as
sociate writh a herd of Loyal Moose.
The next big event in Moosedom will
be a monster masquerade and will far
eclipse anything along those lines ever
held in the city. The whole herd will
be there in full force with all of their
families and friends and anyone miss
ing it will miss a classy affair.

NEW MEDICAL FIRM
A new partnership has recently been
formed among the medical fraternity
of Juneau. Drs. Egginton and John
ston have set up offices in rooms 5, 6
and 7 of the Lewis block.
Dr. Egginton is a new arrival in Ju
neau, having reached here about a
month ago from Independance, Iowa,
yrhere he held the position of state
pathological expert in the state insti
tute at that place. Dr. Egginton has
also had extensive experience in hos
pital work, having held various respon
sible positions in hospitals located in
Pittsburg, New York, Bridgeport, Conn.,
and also considerable experience in ner
vous and brain diseases, Laving held a
position as expert in this line in con
nection with his work at the fajnous
Stamford Hall sanitarium, Stamford,
Conn.
Dr. Johnston has been a resident of
Juneau some time, having come here
last spring. He also has had consider
able hospital work in the east, and has
qualified as expert in brain and ner
vous diseases several times in the
courts in New York. He was a co
worker with Dr. Eggint.011 in Stamford,
but owing to a general breakdown in
duced by overwork was forced to seek
a locality which lacked the nervous
strenuousness of the east.
Both doctors come to Juneau well
recommended both professionally and
socially, and will doubtless be very suc
cessful in the practice of their profes
sion.

fornia, arrived at Juneau on the Cur
acao, and has assumed duty as local

FOUR YEARS FOR SULLIVAN . .
At the recent term of court held at
Ketchikan Mike Sullivan was sentenc
ed to four years in the federal peni
tentiary on McNeils island for passing
a bogus Canadian $20 dollar bill.
Mike Sullivan went to trial with a
handicap of four Alaska convictions
against him. On August 7, 1908, he
received a sentence of nine months for
breaking into the store of John Haho
at Douglas. On the expiration of that
sentence, he was convicted of perjury,
and sentenced to throe years at McNeils
island. When it expired, he came north
at once, and passed the bogus check.
Besides these convictions he served a
term for assault and battery.

ALASKA REINDEER MULTIPLY
Remembering the difficulties that Dr.
Sheldon Jackson passed through a few
years ago in bringing small herds of
reindeer from Lapland to Alaska, the
report brought by Dr. James A. Holmes,
the other day, after his visit as a mem
ber of the Fisher party, is of interest.
“The reindeer were the most inter
esting things we encountered,” said Dr.
Holmes. “Thousands of these ani
mals are now in Alaska and are multi
plying rapidly. The Eskimos and oth
ers who own them find them indispensa
ble for food and useful for transporta
tion of their produce. The meat of the
reindeer is being used extensively for
food in the cities, and it is said to be
as good as the best beef.
“There is a great future for those
who raise reindeer for the market, for
these animals are able to live through
the winter on food that they forage
forage from beneath the snow. No
matter how deep the snow is the rein
deer dig down with their hoofs and ant
lers to get the lichen moss, their choice
food.”
If the multiplication of the reindeer
is allowed to proceed only a few years
longer the winter meat problem there
will be solved. There are few animals
domesticated by man that return so
many products. Nothing is wasted by
the Laplanders, where the herds are
numbered by the hundred thousand. The
reindeer serves man living and feeds
him dead.
Dr. Holmes also notes the pride of
the Alaskans in the vegetables and
fruit with which they fed the secre
tary and his party. The menu that he
quotes could not be excelled in the best
banquet hall.
In this, as in so many other matters,
Alaska is coming into her own.
