! o’clock. This is about the only posl
' tive piece of news cncerning the race.
The committee at last accounts this
afternoon had not decided whether
to hold the race on Wednesday or
postpone it until Saturday. Report
from down the line state that be
yond tho cape there is no trail nt all.
Yesterday there was a fierce blizzard

* 'uil Tnvie is little expectation that
j it will to broken out in good shape
. again by Wednesday and as the Sol
I omon Derby is essentially a speed
rice tlu-ie seems to be a growing in
clination on tlio part of Messrs. Kjeg
sted, Sugg and Weaver to let the event
go over until Saturday. No olllcial
notice to this effect bus eben made,
however, and the' race may be run
on Wednesday if good reports of the'

of the Pioneers, of which ttie deceased
was u membe.r was read. Music was
provided by a double quartette. The
bexiy was then followed to the burial
grounds by the mourners.
Native fur experts say that not for
mnay years have fox skins been of
such line quality as those caught this
season. They say that the fur is long
and even with few short hairs. This
is accounted for by the exereine codl
weather coming so early and lasting
so long. Because of the excellence of
the fox skins this season many na
tives are loth to part with them. An
other unusual feature of the season’s
catch in the vicinity of Mary’s Igloo
is that nearly all the foxes caught
,. white. Reds are a rarity.

MONEY DENIED
FOR TODR OF
ALASKA
lrtor-national News Servic®.
WASHINGTON, March 3—The re
quest of members of congress to have
funds taken from the railroad appro
priation to defray their expenses on
a tour of Alaska next summer has
been denied.
Comptroller of the treasury War
wick has ruled that these expenses
cannot be mot by deflecting money
from the Alaskan railroad appropri
ation in spite of the fact that the con
gressional party was going to Alaska
primarily to Inspect the construction
of the railroad.
The party had been suggested last
fall by Delegate Wickersham who
thought that a large party of sena
tors and representatives on tours
through the territory he represents
would learn much that would benefit
Alaska because of increased appro
priations that would be made.
The plan was to examine the rail
road and the resources of the coun
try at first hand and to investigate the
needs of harbor Improvements, light
houses, fortifications, highways, and
other needs of Alaska.

ARCTIC BROTHERHOOD
BARN DANCE PROVES
VERY SUCCESSFUL
I
The Barn Dance and Huskng Bee
given by the Arctle Brotherhood in A. j
B. hall Saturday night was something
different again. It was the same hall
as has been the scene of so many J
biautiful parlies but it ltd not look
| the same. The decorations were very
different. Instead of streamers and
bunting and a gala appearance, the ,
hull was dressed as a big barn. Har
nesses hung from the balcony. Baled
bay lined the side up against the '
walls and furnished the seats. In j
I the alcoves opneing from the hall were
a pig in one pen, a yearling heifer in
i nother and some chickens. The pig
was either happy or nervous for tie
grunted continuously. The heifer
seemed to enjoy lying with her head
up against the burs where everybody
could pet her. And as for the chick
ens they were wide awake believing
that the electric glare was daylight.
In the southeast corner there was
a section of a country grocery where
eider and chlorine w»;„ on tap, also
10b pipes, tobacco, apples and other
things relolent of country life. There
was also a sulky in which different
men delighted to climb between
dances just to bring back boyhood
memories.
The musicians occupied the center
of the floor and pianist Hutchinson,
tiddler Frank Polet and cornetst I.tnd
i berg were kept busy from 9:30 until
i 2 a. m.
Nearly all of the large crowd in at
tendance went dressed In rustic at
tire. Nearly all the men wore over
alls, calico shirts with bandanas knot
ted about the neck. Some wore 3traw
hats, lnen dusters, and a few farmer
Cornstossels had the rube chin whisk
ers Most of the ladles worse ging
ham dressea made for the occasion
though some merely wore simple
gowns in keeping with the spirit of
the occasion.
At the hour of opening Blacksmith
Dilge had his forge glowing brightly
on Front street partly to light the
entrance and partly to shoe any horse
.Ii.ii might have shook :i shoe loose
while hauling the family in to the do
ings. He had an extra mouthful of
teeth in case any of the critters souhhl ,
d t itle to kick i handful loose.
The dunce begun promptly on time
as is the custom at country doings.
There were more rubes than ladies
and the latter never kicked for danc
ing partners for more than a second.
All hands expected a good time and
were bent on having it and therefore
they enjoyed themselves in full meas
ure. From time to time the dunces
and other things were announced from
the top of the piano by one of the
leading spirits and things were kept
going at a pace that grew faster as
the dance progressed.
The coinmttec in charge consisted
of Messrs. Lilly, Perrine, Sharpe, Mc
Guire, Dilge, Conoughton, Mlsh and
Liston. They are all entitled to credit
for the work they did in producing
sufch an original and highly enjoyable
party and especially is Mr. Mlsh to
Ii. praised for his unremitting effort*
in furnishing the hall with the many
features that characterized the occa
sion.
