TRIP TO STATES
Bound for the outside vrhere she
will purchase goods for the spring,
Mrs. Maud Cattle, of the Style Shop,
will leave for Seward tomorrow morn
ing. She will go as a passenger with
Tom Neeley, who has one of the best
dog teams traveling between Anchor
age and Seward. She will return on
the frrgt feoat in the spring.
Speaking of her trip to the outside,
Mrs. Cattle said: “The ladies of An
chorage, I have learned, want only
the best class of goods. The people of
this country have no use for the
cheaper grades of dresses and suits,
and I have governed myself accord
ingly in making my plans for buying
my spring stock. I will visit the lead
ing cloak and suit houses on the coast
and later leave for the east, where
I will place the bulk of my orders.
Nothing but the latest and very best
will be brought in, and I will have a
stock large and varied enough to suit
the indivdual taste of every lady in
Anchorage.”
Mrs. Cattle is optimistic over the
spring trade, and expresses herself as
confident that next season will see the
greatest business yet experienced by
the terminus of the government’s $35,
000,000 railroad.

Entering into the spirit of the Car
nival, fully 3,000 persons last night
made merry at the close of the Sour
dough Carnival given at the Labor
Temple.
From 7 o’clock until a late hour this
morning the merry-makers continued
the whirl of gayety which marked the
first carnival given in Anchorage as
the greatest success of any in Alaska.
Never for a moment did the excite
ment lessen, but if anything, grew
greater as the evening advanced. The
fact that every ten-cent piece spent
during the evening was destined to go
to the assistance of some needy sour
dough seemed to open the pocketbooks
of the crowd, with the result that ev
ery booth was kept busy, and the
dance floor was crowded at all times.
The feature of the evening was the
arrival of the Snow Queen, Miss Babe
White, accompanied by her court,com
posed of Prime Minister Dan Vuce
tich; Maids of Honor Mrs. Fred Pol
ley, Miss Marian Fitzgerald, Miss
Margaret Dalton, Miss Hattie Maltby
and Miss Una Korth. Miss Gladys
Koslosky and Miss Maxine Polley act
ed as train bearers to the Queen.
Immediately after the arrival of the
court, Mayor Watts, on behalf of the
citizens of Anchorage presented the
Queen with the Key to the City. In
his presentation speech Mayor Watts
said: “I present you with the key to
the gates of Anchorage. Enter for a
night of fun, frolic, pleasure and good
fellowship with the knowledge that the
city is yours. The key is given to you
with the knowledge that the night re
ally is devoted to those noble virtues
of mercy and charity to the needy, un
der the guise of frivolity.”
In accepting the key on behalf of
the Queen, Prime Minister Vucetich
said: “In accepting this key for her
most Gracious Majesty I feel that I
am accepting not only the key to the
city of Anchorage, but to the adjacent
country, which I am sure is the great
est in the North American country.
This key will unlock not only that
which is to be the greatest harbor in
Alaska, but also the undeveloped
country adjoining, which some day
will not only produce its millions in
gold and other minerals, with its won
derful fertility, but will eventually
prove the granary of Alaska.”
Following the acceptance of the Key
to the City, Hard Times, who had been
detected on the outskirts of the city
seeking to enter, was brought before
the Queen for sentence. Wearing an
Oregon boot and looking the part to
perfection, this individual was brought
forward to receive sentence. In pass
ing sentence the Queen' said: “Hard
Times, Anchorage is no place for you,
We are too great and healthy a com*
munity for such as you to exist among
us, and I hereby banish you to Seward
where you. will remain forever among
ycur brothers.
The grand march which immediately
followed the banishment of Hard
Times was led by the Queen and Cap*
tain A. E. Lathrop.
Before her arrival at the Carnival,
the Queen visited the hospital where
the Queen Mother is convalescent af
ter a serious illness. She visited all
the patients, spreading a spirit of the
carnival among all the inmates.
From every standpoint the Carnival
was a great success. Financially it
surpassed even the most sanguine
hopes of its promoters. The statement
will be prepared today after all bill*
are paid and will be published Monday.
President Aron Ericson, of the An*
chorage Skating Club, announces that
the ice rink is in good condition and a
large number of the members an ex
pected to take advantage of the good
ice tomorrow.
