INDOOR PICNIC REMINISCENT
OF SOUTHLAND
Like n peep Into the Fairyland of
routh. or a glimpe Into some flower
garlanded vista of the South when
Spring is unfolding her pristine
;harms under the warm touch of sum*
nor sunshine and all nature is aglow
glth the blush of opening buds and the
fleam of verdant foliage—such was
the impression that came to mind
when the eye embraced the scene of
beauty provided by Nome Lodge No.
18 Women of Mooseheart Legion at |
Ihe annual Indoor Picnic given by that
organisation at big Engle Hall Sat
urday night.
It was like looking through n peek i
Hole in the wide, grim Ice rim which,
ihuts us from the world into the very]
Heart of "Sunny California.’' when her
sts 1th of flowery splendor are nt their I
bedt. Flowers were everywhere;
flowers of every shade and hue that i
tissue of multiform colors and clever |
irtistry can design. They hung in i
festooned masses along the wide bal
cony and filled every nook and corner,
>f the huge hall with glowing color. ,
VVIhereever the eye turned it was met
with a blaze of floral splendor One
nee led hut to forgot the high hanked,
mas sos of snow and ice beyond the
jajHt:U to imagine themselves some, i
Southland basking in golden sunshine
A fine touch of realism was added
loaded witjj pink blossoms that rose
in flowery splendor in the center of'
the polished floor. Another unique]
iecumtive feature which caught and <
held tlie eye was a huge rustic bridge j
which raised its massy bulk fronting j
the proscenium arch. The bridge was
composed entirely of rough logs, some j
of them six or eight inches in diame- j
ter, and formed a most picturesque ad
dition to the decorative scheme.
Viewed from the entrance the scene
was one of exquisite beauty and will!
doubtless be long remembered by those I
who witnessed it.
The entertainment was opened with I
up address on the Women of Moose- I
heart la-gion by Mr Fred Harison, I

The program numbers were excel
lently rendered and provided a most
pleasing addition to the dance pro
gram. which was well arranged and
kept the large gathering amused until
the early hours of Sunday morning.
A wide variety of refreshments
ranging from ice cream to sandwiches
and tomales were distributed from
decorated booths located nt favorable
points, and were also served in a
handsomely decorated lunch mom near
the entrance.
The entertainment was slightly
marred by an unfortunate turn in the
weather which resulted in numerous!
leaks in the ceiling from melting frost]
accumulations. Fortunately the pre
cipitation was confined almost entirely
to the center of the building and did
not greatly interfere with dancing.
The entertainment, in addition to it*
great artistic charm, was a gratifying
success financially and netted the'
ladies a pleasing monetary reward for
their laborA. The energy and re
sourcefulness displayed by this small
aggregation of women in presenting
an entertainment of such elaborate
scope and beauty is little short of re
markable. Many weeks of labor are
required to devise the decorative feat
ures alone. It is but rendering them
Just due to say their entertainment,
appraised from the artistic standpoint
excell* anything in the line of public
entertainments given here in years.

COUNCIL PREPARING
TO REVIVE OLD
ASSESSMENT DATE
Dissatisfaction over the present
date for levying the annual assess
ments culminated in a decision of the
City Council at Monday night’s meet
ing to restore the date of assessment
to November 10th. This was the date
prevailing before the preceding coun
cil decided that the tax gathering
process could be more effectively ac
complished by moving the date for
ward to September 1st. After some
slight discussion, the council passed
a resolution instructing the Law and
Ordinance Committee to prepare an
amendment to the present tax ordi
nance restoring the assessment period
to the former date, the same to bo
presented at the succeeding meeting.
The council also decided to purchase a
wagon for city use and authorised the
Street Committee to secure one offered
for the nominal sum of $25 by Mayor
Holt. Councilman Ta mu tier, chair
man of the Street Committee, who pro
posed the purchase, stated that pos
session of a wagon would enable the
city to save a considerable sum now
spent for hauling grain nnd hay for
the fire department, lumber, and other
materials for the Street Department
and would be useful in other ways.
Aside from these transactions the
councilmanic session was almost en
tirely confined to matters of routine
character. Under the head of com
munications the clerk read a commun
ication from Delegate Grigsby rela-,
tive to the establishment of guide
lights at the entrance to Snake River
harbor. The matter was apparently
brought to the delegate's attention by
chairman Mi lot of the old Harbor
Committee, as the council members
present seemed to know nothing about i
it. Mr Grigsby’s letter was addressed
to the “Nome Harbor and Wharf!
Committee,” Chas Milot Chairman, and
stated that he had complied with the
request of the committee relative to
the establishment of guide lights for;
the harbor by urging the Bureau of;
Navigation to approve the committee’s
request for their installation nnd to
Inform the bureau inspector at Juneau
when the desired approval was grant
ed. The communication was forwarded
from Washington. November 19th.
As the departure of two of the coun
cil members last fall resulted in a
general breakup in the harbor com
mltee, Mayor Holt decided to appoint
a new committee to look after matters
connected with the harbor construc
tion. There is nothing in sight for
the committee to do at present, but
the appointment is desirable in case
of emergencies developing which will
necessitate prompt action to prevent
damage from ice, flood or other causes
of like character. Councilman Tar
nutzer was named as chairman and
councilmen Cavey and Griffiths as as
sociate members.
No action was taken regarding the
clock purchase proposal made last
week, as the committee intrusted with
the task of investigating the question
was not ready to report its findings.
The special lumber purchase commit
tee was also unable to render a re
port Both committee's asked for an
other week to complete their investi
gations. After payment of bills pre
sented under a suspension of the rules,
the council adjourned.
