A pretty banquet, with alt the elo
1 meat* of harmony and cotnpanlombip
km given last evening at the Pul
ton Houm* by Arctic Chief Dlckeson
to the member* of Camp Skagway
No I, Arctic Brotherhood. There
were thirty-one guests present,
.tmong whom were Grand Camp of
ficers and many of the sourdough
brothers mho assisted at the form
ing of the order and who attended
some of the first meetlugs of the
brotherhood, which has N-coroe re.~
ogniied as one of the gtcat teem
societies of the day.
The meeting, though primarily a
social affair, soon resolved Itself In
to a harmony banquet In which not
only the affairs of the Arctic Bro
therhood were discussed, but the
! welfare of Ue district and the fu
1 ture of the North was given serious
consideration.
Among those who were called up
on to address the assembled guests
were H B. 1-eFevre, who had the
plcaaant duty of presenting Arctic
| Chief Dickeson with a beautiful
mastodon fossil ivory gavel upon
which was Inscribed the words
'Mother Camp, Ska# way. No. One.
Arctic Chief, 1912." and inlaid in
the center of the inscription was a
-egnlation gold A. B. button. Mr. :
i Dtrkesou in accepting tlfr emblem
of authority, said among many other
things that the gavel might be UFod
tome day to call the meeting of the
raikray directors together, or to
call together the members of the
brotherhood, but he should never,
i use it for the purpose of knocking.
?r I- S Keller. H. H. Draper, I)
H. Rich. J. M Tanner. J. M. Keller.
Guy Slpprelle, V. I. Hahn, Dr. W.
j G. Gabie, George Mowl, also made
brief talks and in their remarks
they spoke only words that had the
ring of optimism In them. Mr. Dlc
krson then responded to the gen
tlemen ai#d his word* wers listened
to with ifsgerness He wanted the
people contiguous to the line of the
White Pass A Yukon to work In har
mnttjr with him In the development
of the country. He knew that he
could not make a sure*** of the
railroad without the ro-operatlon of
the people who were to be the pa
patrons of the line and he wanted the
public to lay before him an y griev
ances, Imagined or real, that they
had with the White I'aas railroad.
Mr. Dlckcwon spoke for harmony and
a concentration of Intermts, a work
ing together In a common cauac for
the material welfare of all of us.
He said "If anyone can not apeak
well of tlie railroad, let him not
speak In disparagement until they
had given him a chance to remedy
the imperfections which naturally
surround an enterprise of such impor
tance and magnitude as a railway
and transportation company."
At the close of the banquet the
members of the Arctic nrotherhood
who wet* present contributed ? dol
lar each, to which vu added a dol
lar for wich one present by the Arc
tic Chief, and a fund of $53 was
rained which warn turned over to hel
defray the expenses of the Horticul
