GRAND GAMP IS
Officer* Elected and Strong Effort
Will Be Made to Make Brother
hood Leading Order.
JUNEAU, March 18.—The Grand
Camp of the Arctic Brotherhood in
session here yesterday elected the fol
lowing officers for the coming year:
John T. Reed, Arctic Chief.
C. C. Georgesen, Vice-Arctic Chief.
W. B. Stout, Chaplain.
D. Smith Harris, Recorder.
H. H. Post, Keeper of Nuggets.
M. J. Svendseth, Camp Cook.
A. J. Atchison, Trail Guide.
u. X . crttusiau, mu x>laid.
Hugo Byers, Inner Toll Gate.
J. Brennan, Outer Toll Gate.
The trustees are: Charles A. Sul
zer, of Sulzer; B. F. Millard, Valdez;
E. B. Collins, Tanana; H. F. Engle
hart, Dawson, and A. G. Shoup, Sitka.
The question of the revision of the
constitution of the Brotherhood was
discussed at length and a motion pre
vailed to submit the question to a vote
of the members of the subordinate
camps.
Now that it has been definitely de
cided to hold all grand encampments
in the north and keep the member
ship of the order strictly confined to
membership qualifications it is believ
ed interest in the Brotherhood will
be revived and that it will again be
come the leading fraternal order of
Alaska and Yukon. Active efforts
are to be made to secure new re
cruits and establish new camps and
the selection of the officers for the
coming year were chosen with that
end in view.
EAGLES’ DANCE A
HUGE_SUCCESS
The Eagles dance in Eagle hall last
night in honor of St. Patrick was a
big success in every way. The hall
was beautifully and artistically deco
rated with colors appropriate to the
occasion. During the evening a de
licious luncheon was served in the
balcony. In fact every detail was at
tended to in true Eagle fashion and
their guests will long remember the
pleasant occasion.
DELIVER) IS
DIFFICULT NOW
The driver or a delivery rig of
a mercantile house has requested the
Prospector to request the ladies of
Valdez to make their purchases as
early in the day as possible as the
snow is getting soft and delivery is
difficult in the late Afternoon. The
merchants are anxious to make deliv
ery as prompt as possible but cus
tomers living in the outlying districts
are often compelled to wait for the
delivery of purchases owing to the
fact that the horses sink through the
deep snow.
ATTRACTIVE WINDOW I
FOR EASTER BUYERS
Wm. Kramer, of the grocery depart
ment of S. Blum & Co.’s store, has
dressed one of the prettiest and most
attractive display windows ever seen
in Valdez. It is specially intended to
catch the eye of buyers of Easter
delicacies and includes everything in
the canned and preserved meat lines.
Sausages from Germany, goose liver
and chicken from Prance, good Mis
souri bacon—the kind you dream
about—divides attention with other
varieties of American produced meats
and eggs. The display covers every
thing in the cured meat line from
dainty slices of bacon encased in
glass jars to dried beef and the ordi
nary slab bacon.

THAW APPEALS TO
SUPREME COURT
Asks Overruling of Trial Judge’s Or
der That He Be Returned To
Matteawan Asylum.
NEW YORK, March 18.—Harry K.
Thaw’s attorneys yesterday filed an
appeal to the supreme court fromjhe
decision of the ruling judge on the
motion to permit Thaw to be allow
ed to go to New Hampshire. The
judge ruled that Thaw was to be re
turned to the Matteawan asylum un
less ordered by the court to be kept
in The Tombs until his trial Friday.
Thaw’s attorneys immediately secur
ed a writ of habeas corpus and the
prisoner was kept in New York.
Thaw’s trial, when the state of New
York will be compelled to prove him
Insane, will begin tomorrow and it is
evidently in anticipation of an ad
verse decision that the appeal to the
supreme court has been perfected.
The insanity trial promises to be
a long drawn out contest as Thaw
has summoned scores of persons, in
cluding the sheriff of New Hampshire,
to testify in his behalf.
