BENEFIT OF PIONEERS
Rasmus Enge is donating his show

next week tlie proceeds of which
will be used as a Christmas fund
for the Pioneers in the Home at
Sitka. Theis fund will be used to
purchase clothing and other needed
supplies for those who are unable
to secure such with their limited
funds. **
Last year the local drive was
poorly responded to while Wrangell
sent in $255. to give joy to the last
days of the pioneers. This year it
is hoped that the drive will be taken
up in a wholehearted way by every
one and that there will be more
pleasure in giving than in receiving.
