neers of Alaska held their first
business meeting of the winter
season. The meeting was well at
tended. The most noti&able in
cident of the meeting was the re
port of the hotel committe which
reported a substantial increase in
the Pioneer hotel receipts for the
past year. In recognition of the
good work of Mrs. Yaeger as man
ager of the hotel, it was recom
mended that the pioneers present J
her with a suitable Christmas
present as a testimonial of their
esteem for the faithful service she
has rendered. A social committee
for the winter season was appoint- >
ed with that cheerful dispenser of
hospitality. Henry Gumm, as ehair
inann. The annual Pioneer Roof
Garden committee with Tom Gaff
eny named as chairman was also
agreed upon. The Hoof Garden

the lady Pioneers will be invited
to take part and grace with their
presence those festive gatherings.
Cards and possibly danceB w'll

countenance of old man depression
or gloom will never gain entrance.
A praiseworthy effort will be re
newed by the pioneers and their
fr ends this fall in sending a little
money present to the old timers
at Sitka. It was unanimously ag
reed to start a voluntary contribu
tion gift. The pioneers ask that
everyone participate by the'.r mite
In making the coming Christmas
as happy as possible at the home.
Let us not forget the forgotten
pioneers. Few of us there are
who can not afford from fifty cents
to a dollar for such a deserving
cause. And we have no idea of
the amount of appreciation and
human kindness we bestow on the
less fortunate of those trail blaz
ers when we make even the small
est contrttmtion. Boxes will be
placed at A. Polet’s store and at
the Lomen Drug store where yon
can deposit your gift, or see Jack
