TILLIKI CLUB
omokcf Given in Honor of Flame
t-igmers in Recognition of
Their Work.
.
A tie Tillikum Club rooms were
crowded last night with local
i volunteer liremen and club inem
: bers at a smoker given by the club
1 in recognition of the capable
i work of the liremen at the Fish
! building lire, next door to the
j A illikum Club building. It is
I conceded that the firemen saved
j the club building, as well as oth
! er houses insthe immediate vi
cinity, and club members worked
to oiler a slight token of grati
i tude to the lire boys.
Refreshments of the usual de
scription were furnished in
abundance and were the chief
point of attack throughout the ev
ening. After the boys had made
good headway on cigars, sand
wiches, beer and soda water, Jas.
Fish, Jr., who happens to be
president of the club as well as
chief sufferer by the fire, made a
short talk expressing thanks to
the firemen and to the citizens of
the town for unlimited tenders of
assistance to himself and family.
Fire Chief William Finical, who
is a member of the club, pre
sided over the subsequent pro
ceedings and the crowd was giv
en a variety entertainment.
Charles Bush and John Cook
boxed several fast rounds to the
delight of the spectators. Both
boys are very clever with the
grioyes.
Then short talks, music and
entertaining stories filled up the
time. E. Longley, of the Signal
Cofps, proved to be an interest
ing monologue artist, with a good
stook of stories. J. H. Murray
sang some trail songs that made
a great hit with his auditors, al
though Joseph’s voice was never
exactly trained for warbling and
he doesn’t always hit the key. He
also chipped in with several good
stories, as did Sam Blum, Joseph
A. Bourke, J. Bindley Green, Ar
thur Lang „and others. Arthur
Pinkus and Guy Cameron fur
nished instrumental music, and
Billy Soule sang several songs.
Many compliments were paid
to the volunteer firemen and they
were made to feel that the town
appreciates the important and
valuable factor the department is
in the town’s welfare.
At the request of Chief Fini
cal his first assistant, 11. F.
Suessdorf, made a short talk
about the work of the department
for the past ten years.
i _
Ten McIntosh teams, loaded
with freight, left for over the
summit this morning. Word has
been received that the last stages
leaving here are making their
usual time in crossing the pass.
Yesterday afternoon three men
reached town from Chitina, mak
ing the trip in four days. The>
had gone to Chitina to take the
railroad, but after waiting for
nine days decided to take their
chances of reaching the outside
by the Valdez route. Last even
ing the McIntosh stages brought
in six passengers from the in
terior. They report that while
there is a great deal id' snow on
the summit, the trail was in good
condition and they succeeded ini
making the usual scheduh time.:
I
Postmaster Jefferson was in j
receipt of a cablegram from In- ;
speclor Ames asking the eomli
tion of the trail over the sum
mit and if regular communica
tion was being kept up with the
interior.' Mr. Jefferson replied
that the trail has been kept open
all winter and that stages are
coming and going regularly, lie
also telegraphed that travelers
were coming over the hill almost
daily and they all report the trail
to bo in line condition.
___ i
Tlie launch Brighton will leave
for Port Wells in a couple of days
with passengers and fr'ighl for
that lively camp.
, Members of th - Fire Depart
ment are.contemjdating giving a
dance for the purpose of gather
ing funds to install a fire alarm
system. Chief Finical and As
sistant Suessdorf exjjpft to go on
the outside within ti short time,
when they will look up an alarm
^system suitable for the town.

Washington, D. C., Jan. 2—
Paul Charlton, United States
Judge for the District of Porto
ilico, has resigned.
Ill health as the result of the !
troubles of his son, Porter Charl
ton, now in detention in the
United States, accused of the
murder of his wife at Lake Como,
Italy, in June, 1910, is said to be
Judge Charlton’s reason for leav
ing the bench.
Fourteen miners are now work
ing on the Midas properties.
Good progress is now being made
in moving the machinery to its
destination, the heavy winds
which have prevailed here hav
ing overlooked the section lying
across the bay. When the com
pressor is installed the progress
in development work will be much
more rapid than in the past.
