lias risen from its ashes, and is
n »w lietter than ever. It is hand
SO uely papered throughout, and
every article saved from the wreck
is again in its jiiaee. The hand
some moose head that was recov
ered uninjured, again adorns the
wall. The kitchen annexed to the
hall is fully cquipjied with a large
range, cooking utensils and an
abundance of china ware. The
trustees have decided that here
after it will be at the disposal of
the club only, and will not lie
reined for any purjiose. As soon
ai possible a brick chimney will
be added to the building, with
a large tire place ojiening into the
hall. That will make it the most
comfortable and cheerful building
in Valdez for winter use, when it is
most needed.
