IDiTAROD, ALASKA \
Now that the season of navigation has
become a thing of the past, and busy peo
p e are getting nicely settled for the winter
mouths, the question of amusements for the
chilly days is already beginning to manifest
iiah with the people of the Iditand dis
trict. As is usually the case in such in
stances. the camps of the Arctic Burt her
ho.-cl are foremost in such matters. Cam})
Iditarod No. 27 is already planning to give
within a short time a sort of social harvest
hume-come-all-ye function, which will have
a tendency to put everybody on good terms
with themselves and everybody else, and
start the winter series of gaieties oft right.
Never in the history of the camp have
ihe prospects 1 oked better for a pleasant
winter than does tlie Pioneers nor;-.cope
of coming events read at this time.
The public will be pleased to learn that
iV.mp lditarnd No. 27. Acriic Brotherhood,
mil have a veil equipped gymnasium for
the use of its members during the coming
winter. The movement to have such an
imtitutii n. in addition to other Arctic
Brotherhood acquisitions, with which all
.-.re familiar, was started l.i-t ‘•.••ring by the
members of the sports committee. The
equif merit for the gym is c-.mq 1 me in every
del ail. c n.-i.-ting of one set parallel bars,
one set travT;r.g rings, one set Homan
lings, cue !a: ;e vaulting horse, one h. ri
z-mtel bar, chest weights, dumbbell-. Italian
dubs, plenty of mats, boxing gloves, etc.
The Pioneer commends the cut iq >rl>e of
the 1 cal camp in making >t possible to
have an additional form ot amusement to
while away the long winter evenings, and j
no doubt the membership will be increased j
considerably by having something really
worth while to put ill an appearance for. j
