or 6th (exact date to be announced later) for che benefit of the building
fund for the new school. Ten good acts are scheduled, together with a
three-reel cinema comedy, lhe ^ootie Orchestra will provide the music
from the pit; and it is alleged there will be a very nifty chorus. Re
served seats are to sell for vl.00 and general admission is to be 750.
Reserved seats are on sale at the Tailor Shop, Haines.
In connection with the building fund, several subscribers have
alleged the "Post” didn’t give the school children credit for turning
down the trip to the inter-school meet in order that they could divert
the funds into the building fund. A careful reading of the article in
question will show we stated the "school pupils, teachers and board"were
unanimous in deciding not to send delegates to the athletic meet._
y STILL SNOWING AT CHILKOOT BARRACD:
Former inhabitants of the Barracks will be surprised to lenow that
yesterday morning there was four inches of newly fallen snow on the parade
grounds. The late spring (it started out to be an early spring, but
changed its mind) has considerably delayed out-of-door training, bear
hunting and halibut fishing. Most serious is “die interuption of preliminary
training in marksmanship, but with any return of good weather, Company F
will still be on the range by May 1st, which is as good as can be hoped for.
