them, they looked formidable enough
-to quel! frontier disturbances in short
forder, and under the able and skillful
orders of Capt. Emanuel Eweeneyy late
of the United States revenue cutter
service’ ship the Rush, they gave var
ious drills, ranging from single file
marching, to full line march, includ
ing difficult maneouvers, such as right
about, left abouts, column fall in and
inopportune salutes. Color Bearer
Sweeney, the younger, was some hand
some soldier man, while Drummer Boy
Albert Kink was the big noise. Last
but not least was the triple tougued
bugler, Kenneth Osborne, besides be
ing able to look the part “Si” certain
ly can act it. There were two prizes
given, one to a lady and the other to a
gentleman for the most original cos
tume, the former being won by Miss
Brpelding as the “Juneau Girl,” and
the latter by a gentleman in the cos
tume of Dok Hager’s famous weather
man, cartooned daily in the Seattle
Daily Times. On the whole the affair
was up to the usual standard of the
Elks dances.
Miss Holmes entertained at five hun
dred at her rooms in the Sans Souci
building. Prizes were won by Miss
Thursby and James McKanna. The
consolation prize was won by Miss Mc
Gill.

SKAGWAY A. B.’s XMAS
For several years the Arctic Brother
hood at Skagwav have entertained the
town in Christmas eve. Every child in
town receives a present. In Skagwav
Christmas belongs to the Arctic Broth
erhood and the A. B. Christmas enter
tainment to the town. The twenty
fifth of December is nearly a month
away, but preparations are already go
ing forward there. The Alaskan says:
At an early hour yesterday after
noon, after first looking ■well to their
arms, and girding up their loins, be
lieving that they were taking their lives
in their hands, four courageous men
went forth to gather in funds for the
A. B. Annual Christmas festivities.
They were not long, however, in find
ing that they had nothing to fear, for
from the very first man to the last one
called upon, they met with only words
of good fellowship and encouragement.
Each one of the merchants called
upon responded with that spirit which
has always been manifest by the busi
ness men of Skagwav when asked to
contribute to a worthy cause, and the
salaried men were no less generous.
Some times a cloud passed over the
person called upon, but when the mis
sion of the callers was made known,
the cloud cleared from the wrinkled
brow, and a cheerful smile stole over
his countenance, while at the same time
the pocket book came to light and the
committee were washed success in the
undertaking.
Just what the plans are this year
is not yet known, but all the friends
of the Arctic Brotherhood may rest
assured that this year’s preparation
for old Santa Claus wall be up to the
usual standard established in the old
sourdough days.
Several line monarchs or the torest
have been marked, but the committee
having the “tree” in hand, doesn’t
know which is the strongest, largest
and most symmetrical, so that it will
be several days before they will be
able to decide, but then we know it
will be there, and that is encouraging.
It has been hinted by several of the
merchants that in making their selec
tion of holiday stocks, they kept this
occasion in mind, and the kiddies can
look forward to some new ideas which
old Santa will spring.
Secretary Dortero is growing gray
over the thought that “Soma kida
mighta be forget.” so it might be well
if the parents of children who are
not attending school would just drop
a postal card to Mr. Santa Claus, care
of Tony, and advise him of the fact
that there is “ a baby in the house. '1
