A DISCOVERY

ined that they could come one
over us, but they didn't, and the
ilon. Mike Martin’s trip to Ire
land is now expained. That
the Eagles were planning an
unusual program for their St.
Patrick's dance, but who could
guess its extent? Through tre
rnenduous inducements brought
to bear on the Irish nation ,the
citizens of Ketchikan will be
permitted to kiss the “Blarney
Stone” at the March 17th Ball,
that is those having courage en
ough to comply with its old
Lme requirements.
1 hen again, a love letter writ
ten by a lady of Queen Anne’s
court, loaned for the occasion
by the Irish National Historical
• Society may be read. It is
-aid to be very touching.
For the first time in the his
tory of Ala-ka. Irish Lemonade
will be served..
Mr. Martin will give a short
lecture on the trouble he en
countered in securing the loan
of the cusios entrusted to him
by the Irish people, and it is
quite certain that this will be
the greate-t event ever pulled
off in our city by this enter
prising lodge. adv

I
WANT SOUTHEASTERN
ALASKA
A recent copy of the Van
couver News-Advertiser de
votes a great deal of its froul
page in trying to stir some in
terest in the resolution of Con
gressman John II. Stephens of
Vernon, Texas, which has for
its theme the cession by the
United States of the “Pan Han
dle” of Southeastern Alaska to
Canada. Our Canadian friends
seem to think the scheme u
good one for British Columbia,
but apparently fail to take into
consideration the fact that pos
sibly Alaskans might raise
some objection.
