SKATING RINK
 ID BE BUILT

The matter of framing up a skat- ing rink on the ball park is taking definite shape and many lovers of out door winter sports are taking a lively interest. There will be meet ing of all interested in the project held at City Hall tomorrow evening at 8.
 Mir. L. S. Harrison is taking tue Initiative in the movement and has authorized the call of the meeting. The idea is to flood the level land of the ball park for what area may be thought advisable. There is some talk also of forming a curling club, in case there is warrant to believe the ice will last long enough during the winter to make it worth while. If all signs and most of the Indians are to be believed in their prophes- ies the winter will afford all the ice necessary.

BIG
 SNOW FALL

We'll, how do you like this? The first big snow of the season fell quietly over the earth in the vicinity of skagway and over the mountains and down the Yukon as far as Cof- fee Creek. The total fall in Skag- way today was 20 inches. It was all done without a breath of wind. The trade in snowshovels was spirited. It is to be expected that sleighing will take the place of the skating boom for the time being.
