COMMERCIAL CLUB WILL
HOLD ELECTION TONIGHT
At 8 o'clock tonight the Skagway
Commercial club will meet at the
town hall for the purpose of elect
ing officers for the ensuing term ami ;
discussing an advertising campaign
for Skagway.
The Commercial club now has $320 i
available for advertising purposes
w'th the prospects of more to come.
This money can either be used to
advertise Skagway so as to attract
tourists; or it can be used to boom
Skagway as tho Gateway to the new
gold diggings in the Iditarod, where
a big stampede is expected next
spring.
The value of such an advertising
campaign is undisputed, but it must
le undertaken soon, if at all. The
business men and merchants of Skag
way should attend tonight's meeting
and have something to say about the
I spending of this money.
When the Whltehorse bowling
teams so inhospitably drubbed the
visiting Skagwuyltes late last month,
the locals solaced themselves by
tromlsing what they would do to
Whltehorse when our ?ouslns from
Canada had the temerity to cross the
line and do battle on American soil.
Nor did the locals (all down in the
performance of the promises, for
last night the Whltehorso teams' were
routed ? horse, foot and artillery.
The women from Skagway defeated
their fair adversaries from White
horse by a total of 81 plus, thus wip
ing out the defeat Inflicted at White
horse and leaving a margin of six
pins to the good.
The reverse to the bowlers of the
sterner sex from Whltehorse was
quite as decisive. The local players
lad a lead of 108 pins when the
smoke cleared away. As Whltehorse
won by 132 pins in the first games
of the season, they are still 24 pins
to the good. But that Is a men
bagatelle.
After the bowling a dance was given
ut the Elks club and those present
enjoyed themselves until a late hour.
There was a large and enthusiastic
"gallery" during the games. We
<ven excelled Whitehorse at "root
ing." I
