ALL ABOARD FOR JUNEAU FOR THE "FOURTH”:
Although the inability of the Capitol City to provide ac
comodations for the company of Soldiers that they wished to secure
from Chilkoot Barracks to head the Fourth of July Parade has caused
abandonment of the plans to send 80 of our finest to show the natives
,rhow it* s done”,-yet the Post will very probably be represented in Jun
eau on the holiday. The Chilkoot Barracks baseball team is going down
with blood in their eye,and many rooters are expected to accompany
the team. Sports,-boxing,baseball,and track events,-are on the bill,
and dances and good tines galore. So .that anyone who makes the trip
is sure of a good time. Just when the "Fornance" will leave for Juneau
has not been determined as yet,but the schedule will be published soon.

No, indeed, Evelyn,-that lean,hungry look.on the faces, of
local members of the Q»M.Corps doesn’t denote any epidemic,-not Pink
Eye,or nuthin' like that* The boys are just eating lightly to insure
that they’ll have plenty of room when they sit down to the Quarter
master Corps banquet at the Pullen House tomorrow, Saturday night*
For they,with a few invited guests,are going to celebrate their birth
day^ -the occasion being the 148th anniversary oi the establishment
of the Quartermaster Corps*'Ihe slogan for the Q«H*C*in Skagway tomor
row night will be, -MOT -’’Service for the Line1’ BUT -’’Service all
along the Line*"
