Although the bravery of oar Aus

their ideas on discipline vary con
siderably front those held by soldiers
from home. An Attstraiian genera*,
accomplished by his staff, was making
as inspection in the trenches when
they came across a wounded priso
ner who was calmly horning his
-ay to the cresstBg station with a
bullet in his foot Wires me private
saw the general, he hailed him:
"Hi general" be shouted.
The off Steer looked round In ama
zement to see who called, whereupon
the private, as he hopped on: —
"Hi. general. I'm a bloomin' kan

THE BUSINESS
PRINCESS ALICE CARRIES LARGE
LIST OF ROUND
TRIPPERS,
On time to the minute, the splendid
now steamship of ti;e Canadian Fa

in Ketchikan last evening with oik
hundred siu: eighty passengers on

a.nt fifteen were round trippers. The

Master Wt: tat.. Bacon. C. K. Ostrand
er. R. P. M. Bent. 11. Beaty and one
second class
This sailing of the Princess Alice
inaugurates the weekly summer sched
ule of the Princess Line. Under this
schedule, a Princess boar will arrive
at Ketchikan uorthbound every Mon
day evening about seven o'clock. Re
turning, they will leave Ketchikan
every Saturday morning at 7 o’clock.
During the month of July, this ser
vice will he still further improved by
the addition to the Beet of the magni
Scent new- ship. Princess Charlotte,
the largest and most luxurious pas
senger ship ever entered in the Alas
ka trade. In addition to the regular
weekly service, this will give an ar
rival in Ketchikan of a Princess every
Thursday evening nortaoound. with
a return sailing southbound every
Wednesday morning : seven o’clock.
Notwithstanding the exceedingly
heavy tourist business which has been
booked by the Canadian PaciSc for
this season, the company has arrang
ed for the accommodation of its Al
askan patrons, and has made reserva
tions southbound for its Alaska offices.

FLAG DAY DANCE
WAS BIG SUCCESS
Over L > couples attended the Flag
Day dam *- given by the Lady Eagles
last Saturday night at the Rink. The
affair was one of the most successful
and jollk-sr dances given in Ketchikan
both socially and financially.
The Lady Eagles are to be congrat
ulated for this most pleasing enter
tainment.
The Hall, in honor of Flag Day.
was draped with Bags and bunting,
and looked very patriotic and pretty.
A novelty in the way of refreshments
was the ice cream cones served by
the ladles during the evening. The
music by Williams and Raymond was
excellent. The floor which had been
cleaned and newly waxed for the oc
casion. was in Sue condition, and ev
erything was indeed merry as a mar
riage bell.
The ladies who netted $67.00 from
the dance are desirous of expressing
their thanks to ail who helped make
the ball the big success it was by at
tending, and those who so kindly do
nated: M r, Heckman for the free use
■ .ins.-and Ton
gass Co. for displaying advertising
on their autos, Mr. Wiegle and Mr.
D. W. Hunt for flags and bunting.
