Do you remember when the
steamers Dolphin and Jefferson
were the crack liners running to
Alaska. The Dolphin no larger
than a big steam tug, with twin
screws which refused to land at
the Petersburg dock because it
was difficult navigation and
dangerous to do so?

Chilkoot Barracks now enjoys
twenty-four hour light service.
This is possible since the com
pletion of the new electric
plant at the cost of $50,000. All
electric appliances are in use.
The plant is equipped with three
fifty kilowatt generators each
run by a diesel engine. It war>
siarted last fall and was only
completed a week ago. The Post
doesn’t have to wait for the
| Northern Lights to be able to
see anything now a days.
Much to the delight of her
friends, Mrs. Acklen returned
last Saturday on the S.S. Vic
toria. She is now in the best of
health and is back at her work
again.
They say that lightning never
strikes twice in the same place
nut Mr. Gamble thinks so. Last
Saturday night as he was out
visiting some friends he was told
that his house was on fire. With
all sorts of aid the fire was easi
ly put out as it was seen by
some passers-by before it did
much damage. Only one room
of the house was badly charred
and a couple of windows broken
Mr. Gamble can’t figure out the
cause yet. His home had been
burned completely to the ground
two years ago—and so the theo
ry that lightning strikes twice
in the same place.
The evening of February 5th
marked the beginning of the
L'aines-Chilkoot basket ball
tournament. The games are
scheduled for every Wednesday
and Friday night in the A. N. B.
Hall. Four teams are participat
ing: Co. F team, A.N.B. team,
High School team, and the
Haines A. C. team. Two games
| will be played a night.
The first game of the tourna
ment was between the F Co.
team and the A.N.B. team. The
A.N.B. team suffered their first
defeat in seven years. This was
due to the fact that they were
not organized. They organized
immediately after the game and
they are now in training. The
F. Co. team did some fast and
clean playing. The final score
was 28-50 in favor of the F Co.
team.
The second game of the even
ing was between the H.A.C. ana
the High School. It was none too
slow. It was marked throughout
bv fast playing. The final score
20-26 in favor of High School.
Games on Wednesday follow
ing were as good as the first
games—if not better. The first
game of the evening was be
tween H. A. C. and F Co. It was
a walk away for the soldiers.
The second game of the evening
| was between the High Schoo
j and A.N.B. The A.N.B. and High
i School both showed a marked
improvement. The score was 29 -
37 in favor of A.N.B.
Games last night. The first
game was between A.N.B. and
H. A.C. The A.N.B. are nowing
showing their usual peppy and
accurate team work. Score—
| 2C-56 in favor of A. N. B. The
j second game of the evening was
.between High School and F Co.
It was the best game' of the
, tournament, the score standing
'about even all the way through
the game. The final score was
26-29 in favor of F Company.
