CROWD AITENDED
EAGLE’S SMOKER
Members and Friends Spend Pleasant
Evening Amid Story, Song and
Athletic Events.
The smoker given at Eagle hall
last night by the members of the
lodge to their friends brought out
a record crowd, the only male citi
zens of Valdez missing were those
confined to the hospitals and a few
who were busy answering late mail
which they wished to go out on the
Admiral Watson.
Willard Scott, president, opened the
festivities with a few remarks con
cerning the Eagles and assuring
those present that it was the desire
of the members of the lodge that
their guests enjoy themselves to ca
pacity.
Chas. G. Ganty being called upon
for a speech declared that he would
confine his remarks to a few subjects
such as the European war, the sacred
use of the ballot and suffragism, all
being subjects which could be dis
posed of in a lucid and brief manner.
Unconsciously the speaker determin
ed the trend of thoughts of the others
to follow. His southern stories were
well received and paved the way for
other stories by O. P. Hubbard, Harry
King, Ben Waller, Dr. von Gunther
and others.
Two tables extended down the cen
ter of the big room, one of which was
loaded with smokers sundries of all
kinds from the choicest products of
the tobacco plantations of Cuba to I
the ordinary “makings” of Washing-1
ton alfalfa. The other table was load-!
ed with choice fruits, apples from
North Yakima and delicious oranges
from California and Florida.
Between the numbers on the im
promptu program a score of the mem
bers of the Eagles hustled through
the hall with trays of sandwiches and
cases of the stuff which it is claimed
put Milwaukee on the map. Coffee
in plenty was supplied In the kitchpn
for those who preferred that brand.
Few were noticed to make their way
to the culinary department.
The only exceptions to the rule of
sticking to southern stories in which
the “colored brother” figured promi
nently, were by Harry King and Dr.
von Gunther. The latter came to Alas
ka twenty-three years ago and had
some amusing experiences in follow
ing his profession among the natives.
One thing which must forcibly have
impressed those who listened to his
stories is the fact that the health
of the natives of Alaska, if the gov
ernment authorities are to be believ
ed, has not materially changed for
the better.
The other departure was a touch
ing little tale of life in a mining camp
in Yuba county, Arizona. The oc
currence happened more than thirty
years ago and tells of the tragic death
of “Nell” the camp’s little favorite.
The miners took pride in the fact that
“Nell” died with her boots on.
The music for the evening was fur
nished by Reinke’s orchestra, occa
sionally supplemented by Louie Roth
encranz on the mandolin or Gus De
Garf on the accordlan. Songs were
rendered by Harry King, Johnny Kac
erosky, Ben Waller and others. Har
ry King, Chas. Day and Dr. German
sang "Tipperary” and received an en
core.
During the latter part of the even
ing the tables were cleared from the
room and two rattling good boxing
contests between Jack Hayes and Pet
er Korth, and Daykin and Cavan
augh, were witnessed.
Worthy President Willard Scott
-made an excellent chairman. His re
marks concerning the growth and de
velopment of the Fraternal Order of
Eagles were interesting and listened
to with attention. He stated that the
order was started in Seattle about
seventeen years ago and that it now
numbered its members by the hun
dreds of thousands. The census tak
en last year showed that there were
over 400,000 Eagles. During the fis
cal year the number had been in
creased by 55,000. More than $1,000,
000 had been paid out during the
year for the benefit of members. While
the rapid growth ot tne membership
was a source of pleasure to the mem
bers it derived greater pleasure from
the fact that the demonstration of its
motto, "Justice, Truth, Loyalty and
Equality" was meeting with the ap
proval and support of the best and
ablest men of the country. In all
cities where lodges were established,
as in Valdez, the leading men of
the community were gladly identify
ing themselves with the order.
Just before the close of the even
ing’s entertainment Joe Bourke, who
had sat quietly In the gallery, was
called upon for a story. He declar
ed that he would tell just one and
that would be a short story. When
he had finished calls for more could
be heard for a block. Joe was still
telling stories at a late hour.
Yes, the Eagle smoker was a fine
success.
RUSSIA 10 HELP

WARSAW, Russia, Jan. 23.—The
