WATOH MONDAY’S BULLETIN
FOR IMPORTANT ANNOUNOEMENT
PIONEER ROOF GARDEN GALA
The eleventh 'iinuril Hoof Uarflea ■
entertainment given by Igloo So. 1,
I'ioneei'H of Alaska at Ragle hull, Hut-i
urda> night last proved u splendid
success hoc tally and financially and
I roni the entertainment point of view
hum in no degree behind any of ItH
ten predecessors, all of which were
among the leading entertainment
events of the seasons In which they
occurred. I’ractlcally every white
Individual In the city who was able to
lay aside the exigencies of business
or labor was there to enjoy the famed
rioneer hospitality and during the
intei veiling week we have encounter
ed none who failed to emphasize their
appreciation of the excellent good
time provided when questioned.
The entertainment o|>ened with n
nmreh i>f the Pioneers and was follow
ed l»y an address of weleome by Past
President Tims. McCann in which he
figuratively tossed to the audience the
keys of Pioneer hospitality and laid
down the dictum that enjoyment was
the first object of the occasion. An
Kskiuio dunce by a group of native
dancers under the direction of Krne.st
Azazarnk provided an interesting fey
tnre of tin- entertainment program af
ter Mr. McCann's address. Follow
ing, M.r. .las. Hogan, whose vocal at
tainments are so well known ns to
render xupcrflous any praise our hum
ble pen might bestow, Tendered a de
lightful tenor solo which won him
unstinted applause and compelled an
Mr. Cha*. Jones kept the gathering
In a continuous paroxysm of laughter
with a one man minstrel show In
which he sustained the roles of bones,
tamho and Interlocutor In Inlmltnble
inannrtr. ('hnrlio's extensive rrflier
tolre of gags and hits was all but ex
hausted before the audience consented
lo his retirement.
When the “tumult and the shouting
died,” It was “on with the dance" and
the lingo floor was soon a kaledlo
scople mass of color ns the two hun
dred or more dnnee lovers responded
to the enticing enchantment* of the
tcrpslchorean measures dispensed by
the orchestra. The dance program
comprised twelve numbers ranging
from the decorous waltz and stately
threestep to the livelier one step and
Junglesque fox trot.
Refreshments, Including coffee and
cake, Ice cream, “hot dog" sandwiches
and other delicacies were served at a
number of tastefully decorated booths
or at luncheon tables In the clonk
room annex.
The fun lasted until the small hours
of Sunday morning. The skill and
attention to the smaller details which
contribute so much to the enjoyment
of public entertainments was much In
evidence and the committee in charge
Is deserving of the warmest praise for
the excellent management displayed
throughout.

FEDERATED SUNDAY 8CH00L
H0LD8 XMA8 EXERCISES
The Federated church Sunday
school held Christmas exercise* which
attracted a large attendance Wednes
day evening and proved a decidedly
Irte res ting entertainment throughout.
The program comprised a wide range
of literary exercises, songs, choruses
and drills In which the pupils, from
the tiniest tots to those in their teens,
acquitted themselves in most com
mendable manner and won hearty and
well merited applause from the large
gathering. The performances given
by several of the participants wore
especially clever and but for lack of
■pace would be given the Individual
mention to which they were entitled.
The program throughout betrayed
long and painstaking training and the
work of the youngsters reflected great
credit on their teachers. A more
skillfully conducted or pleasing child
ren's entertainment has not occurred
here in years. Following Is the pro

DR BUR80N WRITES
In a recent letter to Mein Host
Swartzell of the Golden Gate. Dr. A.
C. Burson, formerly of Ft. Dnvls, ple
tures In graphic manner his impres
sions of the outsido in tho statement
that he would ndvlso any Alaskan
asking his counsel “to stay In Alaska,
at least until the present status of af
fairs is adjusted." Dr. Burson as
serts that wages are very high and
Work seems to be plentiful. But,
jwithal, he says, “there is a great un
rest among nil classes; the rich want
to ggt moro and the poor want to get
rich, and things don’t work out for
all. So we have unrest as a result."
Regarding the prospects provided by
this situation hp says: “Many I have
balked with seem to think that the
strife will come to a head within the
next year. Home even think there
will be a revolution. I hardly believe
It will come to that, but there has to
be some radical changes, else It may
come to revolution."
I At the time of writing Dr. nurson
[was stationed at Ft. Lawton nenr
Seattle but was not aware of how long
he would remain. ■
