DANCE HALL DATS
TO BE RENEWED
Approximately 25 years ago big
things were taking place in Alaska
This vast territory had been lying
dormant for many years before that
but some one sent the world “gold”
to the States and a second Cali
fornia was born.
Men of all kinds t-ame to this
northern country. Some of them
came looking for gold from the
mines. Some came t« find it from
businesses and still others came to
get it in any possible way and took
the path of least resistance.
Soapy Smith was one of the lat
ter type and during his reign of
terror in Skagway reaped untild
harvests. Many honest miners came
to Skagway only to lose their stakes
to Soapy or his gang and then re
turn sadly to the hills to dig for
more.
But Soapy Smith couid not live
on forever and t-veoiaaily met his
death at the hands of honest citi
zens. But memories of him will
go on forever. His saloons, his
gambling houses and his dance halls
will ever be famous and long re
membered by Alaskans of 1897 and
1698.
Moving pictures try to show how
these places looked so that the new
er generation will have some idea
j as to the places of amusement in j
the old days. Historians have tried
I to place in history an accurate a>
I count of these old halls. Authors,
I including Beach, London and Twain,
have tried to describe these saloons j
and dance halls and now, that peo
ple can see for themselves, the Ne
nana Commercial Club is trying its ’
best to present a dance hall of 1897-1
1898 to the public of this vicinity.*
This will only las: for one night. '
however, and that night has been j
set apart as St. Patrick's, March 17. ',
The name for this dance is Monte
: Carlo, after a famous dance hall in
i Dawson. Tickets for this occasion •
will soon be on the street. Buy
j yours early to avoid the rush.

of Stockholm.
This is believed to be the first
time that the premier of a Euro
pean state has personally entertain
ed his destitute constituents. When
his guests had eaten their fill.
Premier Branting addressed them
the economic conditions in Sweden.
The premier began by informnin.T
them that neither this dinner nor
any other private or public aid ex
tended to men and women without
work was in any sense charity, but
simply what was rightfully due teem
from those who were fortunate
enougn to be able to help. He said
it was not their fault that they were
without means of livelihood, but the
fault of warped conditions thruout
Europe.
Mr. Branting warned his guests
that the efforts of the state to bet
ter social and economic conditions
could not be expected to lead to im
mediate results.
Alluding to the chaos in Russia,
he declared that the slow-moving ef
forts of the old established govern
ment system to improve social con
ditions was infinitely preferable to
the breaking up of the old system.
The world had seen where such a
course led. But social solidarity,
he continued, demanded from every
person that he help as far as he
possibly couid in relieving the dis
tress of the more unfortunate.
“I hope,” the premier continued,
“that others will follow this exam
ple and that you will see thereby
an utterance of social solidarity
which breaks thru all barriers.”
The premier’s speech which was
delieverea with great earnestness,
was received by a spontaneous and
enthusiastic applause.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Mar. 9.—
When challenged from his own side
today to reveal the origin of the
much-discussed Four Power treaty.
Senator Oscar W. Underwood. Dem
ocrat. of Alabama, told the senate
that he knew few details of the ne
gotiations that led up to the making
of the treaty as he was absent from
Washington while these negotiations
were in progress.
Commenting on the treaty Sena
tor Joseph T. Robinson, Democrat of
Arkansas, called it an “alliance" and
declared that it “wouldn’t promote
peace” but on the contrary will
“promote the formation of rival al
liances which will lead to great
harm.”
