THAT TIRED FEELING
If you wish to get rid of that
tired feeling, go to the Dream
tonight ad see Alkali Ike and
his motorcycle. One of the
really funny comedies of the
season, a scream from the
start. Then there is that “Mills
of The Crods'’ that is bound to
interest you. The Fiend in
carnate Lorenzo leaves a trail
of sorrow behind him that is
appaling, but in the final chapt
er meets that fate that hejust
ly deserves. There is another
drama on the bill that is lead
and participated in by a num
ber of Japanese characters,
that go to show that even the
little brown man is taking to
photo plays. Ed. Drake is
singing “The Palms” and is
singing it as it should besung.
Tomorrow night a complete
change of program. But be
'lire and see Alkali ike tonight

' PHONEi'7 KETCHIKAN
Well Santa has come and
gone. For days the children of
Ketchikan have been counting
the hours before the time of
his promised arrival at the Arc
tic Brotherhood Christmas tree
at Bed Men’s Hall. Christmas
Eve promptly, at seven fifteen
the baud opened the eermony
by rendering a con e of appro
priate airs and the the school
children favored i with a
number of selection of merit.
Bulletins were read from time
to time which kept the children
posted as to Santa’s progress
toward this city and the ex
citement among the little folks
was intense when his sleigh
bells were finally heard out
side. The lights failed just
at that moment and when they
came on again one of the little
fellows made the discovery
that Santa was there standing
just beside the Christmas tree
with his long flowing whiskers
and red suit. The presents
were distributed in record lime
by Santa and, although several
of the smaller children were a
little afraid of his rough voice
and gruff way, they were all
well taken care of and were all
‘satisfied after they had exam in
ed the present he had for them,
that gruff old Santa Clause
was not such a had old codger
after all. The hall was packed
with a crowd, composed of the
parents of the children and
their friends, and this Christ
mas will go down in the history
of the town as the best the
children ever had. >To one, no
matter how hardened and ca'i
Ions lie might be could sit there
on Christmas Eve and not tie
come drunk with the spirit of
Christmas as it was expressed
in the shining faces of the
children as they crowded a
round good old Saint Nicholas.
Finally the lighls failed again
and Santa had gone to gladen
tile hearts of the little ones in
other parts of the world.
The dance given by the
lie Brotherhood on Christ
night to defray the expenses of
(he Christmas tree was a grand
success in every way. (' e of
the largest crowds ever in Red
Men’s Hall turned out to en
joy (lie fnn and they all went a
way well satisfied. The floor
was in fine shape and the
music which was furnished by
the Ketchikan Firemen’s Or
chestra, was something new
and first class. This is Hie
first time this orchestra has
been heard in public and every
one was well satisfied with the
brand of dance music furnish
ed by them. The punch was
just right ad George Wilkes
and Ovie Goode are deserving
of all the praise they got and
then some. The Christmas Iree
waltzes in which the lights
were dimmed won instant ap
proval from llie crowd and
bowing lo public opinion fhe
floor management ran In fine
extra one. The crowd stayed
until one forty-five before they
were satisfied and every one
went home tired and happy and
all voted the Arctic Brother
hood the best of- entertainers.
CHISANA MUSHER RETURNS
Edwin Hale, one of the mush
ers who loft here for the Chis
ana during the rush to that
place arrived Tuesday
night on the Alameda. Mr.
Tlale says the country looks
good to him and he wiU return
in the spring. Th^te are lots
of people wintering there
with no work going on and no
supplies. Much gold has
been found in the shallow dig
gings but on the deeper claims
nobody knows as yet whether
they are worth anything or
not as they have not been
prospected to any amount.
