 Ralph Thompson who fell on a slip pery walk on Christmas eve and sprained his ankle, is improving bet ter than he had hoped. Dr. Myers made an examination with an Xray md found no bones had been broken. Quite a crowd was on the hill coast ing last night The boys in the after noon turned the hose on the hill but the water did not freeze hard enough to make much improvement over the night before, but it was good any way and provided lots of fun.

 The Ketchikan Kountry Klub on Q. .count of the fine winter weather de- cided to substitute New Years skating party at Big Lake for the Christmas party of Thursday night. The Club will meet at MT. Bryants on Friday morning at g o'clock to go to the Lake.
 To say that the Knights of King Arthur who gave the pantomr e "Peter Shadowman" did well would he putting it mildly and would not do he boys justice. They did fine. Va loris McWilams as Peter Shadow man, went trough his part like vet 'can actor, and for the boys to go through such lengthy pantomine as the one given last night where no less than a dozen scenes were acted out without one mistake, is marvel in- deed. Rev. F. V. Fisher deserves al kinds of praise for his work amnog ne boys of Ketchikan and had you been at the church last night you would have seen boys from F to b years of age taking part in something .levating, and uf an educational na- ture that put joy in their hearts to produce. More such educational feat lres among the boys and girls of ou, community would certainly do n' ,arm and would no doubt be product i've ot much good. Knights you ari III right, your efforts were not in vair md we will be patient not without hope that you will come again.
