Alaskan anecdotes beguil- ed the time until card playing began and after couple of hours of five hundred" Mrs. DeMytt was declared winner of the first prize, and Miss l.. Risedorph of the second. Mrs. c. E. Hooker drew the consolation in cut ting. Prizes, score and place cards all carried out the prevailing idea, the place cards representing the northern lights and the score cards bearing Treadwell and Douglas views, all tied with Treadwell colors.

Mackie having lived in Alaska longer than any lady present received souvenir spoon as recogni- tion of her staying qualities. The re- treatments were especially delicious and in the serving, the hostess was as sisted by Mrs. DeMytt. Altogether, the Alaskan afternoon was unquestion- ably successful in all respects. Those present beside the hostess were Mes danes DeMytt, Woods, Tubbs, Veasie, Christoe, and Daniels, and the Misses Risedorph, of Treadwell; Mesdames Andrew, Mackie and Rogers and Min his, of Douglas; and Mrs. c.

 The new band instruments arrived on the Hunt boldt last week and on Monday evening the first meeting of the Treadwell Band was held at the Club. Mir. F. Wasterlain, the leader, was in charge and affairs arranged themselves very smoothly, SO that in short time we may expect the new organization to be a settled and help ful feature of the community. The new instruments are very fine and will be assigned to the players as soon as possible. Some of the instruments have been signed for by the members, and before the next meeting of the band, everything will be arranged satis- factorily. Mir. H. P. Stow was chosen as manager of the Treadwell Club Band and with Prof. Wasterlain as leader, it's success is an assured fact.
