TANGO AND THE PIE INDUSTRY.
Pulpit and press denunciations
have failed to suppress the tango
craze but the dance will have to go
just the same, * the contention of a
New York p:e manufacturer is sus
tained by the facts, after proper in
vestigation. This pie-maker, who
used to tur nout 300,000 pies a year,
has filed a petition in bankruptcy al
leging that the decrease in the New
England population in New York and
the tango craze have ruined his bus
iness. He declares that in the old
days patrons of restaurants ate good
meals and always topped them off
with slabs of pie, while now they
bolt a few dishes, cut out pie en
tirely, and hasten to join the tango
ers.
This is a matter which may wen
give pause to the friends of Ameri
can institutions. The pie has forti
fied us all the way from Bunker Hill
to Vera Cruz. Immigrants by the
million have been absorbed into our
citizenship and we have not been ov
erwhelmed by their ideas or ideals.
We have taught them to assimilate
American ideals and American pie in
the proper proportions and have held
them at our mercy. We have main
tained our dominance over them be
cause they have realized that with
us the taste for pie was natural, while
with them 't was acquired. We shud
der to think of the consequences if
•the American people surrender the
advantages accruing to them
through their natural aptitude and
appetite for pie. We trust that Con
gressman Humphrey of Washington
will take this matter up at once. He
in h!s attempt *o prove that the for
eigner pays the tariff exactions. We
. will forgive him much if he will start
a movement in congress for the sup
pression of the tango and the conse
quent restoration and preservation of
the pie industry, one of the bulwarks
of American institutions.—Seattle

IMPROVEMENTS III
TIUJGUM CLUB
Many Changes Have Been Made and
the Work Is Completed—Ladies
Evening Tomorrow. ,
About fifteen hundred GOllars has
been expended in making various im
provements to the Tillikuin Club,
which have now been completed and
the club will have a house warming
tomorrow night to which the ladies
will be invited.
The main club room has been ex
tended so as to take in the space
that wras originally occupied by the
porch. This has been made into an
alcove and has three large plate glass
windows which makes it a veritable
sun parlor’. The former vestibule
has been extended and converted in
to a writing room, and the entrance
to the club has been changed to the
street level on Court street.
A hot water heating plant has been
installed in lieu of the old system of
heating with stoves. The floors have
been polished and rugs have taken
the place of the carpet. The money
required for these changes has been
raised by voluntary subscriptions by
the members, and the results attain
ed by the committee having this
work in charge are highly satisfac
tory.
The Tillikum Club has long played
an important part in the commer
cial and social welfare of Valdez,
having entertained practically every
visitor of hote that has visited this
town during the past ten years.
Children's Dance.
The piano in Everyman’s Club-'
house has been completely repaired
and tuned by Professor Pring and
the children of Valdez are cordially
invited to attend the dance to be
given Friday evening from 7:30 to
