ADMIRAL LINE IS KEEPING PACE
In line with its progressive policy of keeping its ser
vice up to popular demand, the Admiral Line announces
the addition of another large steamer to its Alaskan fleet.
The news will be received with much satisfaction by the
many friends of this transportation system, which has be
come an institution in Alaska. The announcement pre
sages much in that it indicates that the Admiral fleet anti
cipates increased passenger and freight traffic during
the coming summer.
Since its inception in Alaska the Admiral Line has
been building good will through its excellence of service
and alertness to respond to the washes of the public. It
numbers among its commanders some of the greatest sea
men who ever guided a massive liner through the difficult
wTaters of the North Pacific, who have contributed much
toward the popularity of the line.
HATS OFF TO OUR CANINE FRIEND
Again hats off to man’s most faithful friend. Coinci
dental and on the same day a spitz dog in New York saved
the lives of 125 persons by warning the commander of a
fire boat that 26 coal barges were drifting to destruction
with their human freight, and “Nigger,” a faithful mala
mute, belonging to Oscar Ottersoniz, carried a message
over a mountain range from Little Squaw mine summon
ing his master to the aid of two men stricken by an acci
dental blast. On the same day we read that a man killed
another in Chicago for $137.50—dogs saving life and man
destroying it. Which makes a man feel that he had rath
er be a dog in lawful Alaska than a homicidal risk in
Chicago.
According to a Berkeley, Calif., porfessor the aver
age family has dropped in number of children to 2.18 for
the “proletariat” and 1.85 for the “intellectuals.” Of this
percentage of progeny the public elect the .18 to legisla
tive bodies and make the other .85 bootleggers.
According to the cnofession of a Chicago murderer
he received $137.50 for removing a woman’s husband
with a piece of lead pipe. The extra $7.50 was for the
pipe.
In England it requires a three-year college course to
produce a brewer. In America it requires only time to
run to the grocery, buy a package of hops, a quart of malt
and a little gelatine.
STAGE IS SET FOR
I
GAY GALAXY OF COSTUMES EX
PECTED, ACCORDING TO
PREPARATIONS
Patrons to the annual firemen’s
New Year’s Eve ball tomorrow night
are asked to pay strict attention to
the leaders of the grand march who
have been under training for the last
week. The line of march will be form
ed at 11 o’clock and will be headed
by a troop of young girls, garbed ap
propriately in page costumes, and
with large trumpets with which to
herald the march. With, close atten
tion by the participants little difficul
ty is expected making the spectacle
one of beauty.
Three judges will be seated on the
musicians platform where they will
review the marchers and choose the
prize winners. Those selected will be
presented with a ticket on which will
be written their award. This ticket
is to be turned over, later, to the
prize committee who will hand out the
prizes. Each winner is asked to sign
their ticket in the space allotted for
that purpose.
Of particular importance is the an
nouncement of a special dancing num- .
ber by a local artist. This will take
place just before the grand march.
It is said this number, and there may
be other special numbers, will be a
spectacular surprise.
Walter Holben, will be master of
the punch. His many years of ex
perience in this line has gained him
the title of being one of the few men
in the country who know that hlmost
vanished art of the proper concocting
of fragnant, thirst-quenching fruit
punch.
The music is excellent as is attest- ,
ed by the large number of visitors to
the hall this past week listening to
the orchestra at practice. There are
a variety of good snappy numbers and
the time is perfect.
In order that no one lose an oppor
tunity to win one of the many door
prizes it is requested that the ticket
stubs be saved. The ticket and stub
each are numbered and in the general
drawing, at a later hour, the corres
ponding stub number to the ticket
drawn from the box will be awarded
a prize.
