EAGLES GIVE DANCE.
 ON FRIDAY
FORMAL AFFAIRS HAS BEEN ARRANGED.

For next Friday night the social committee of the local aerie of Eagles Is arranging another one of their delightful informal dances and it Is certain that no matter how cold the weather is there will be he usual big attendance. For there are no dances more enjoyable than those given under the auspices of this popular organization.
 The floor at Eagle hall is just now in about as nearly srfect condition as ever can be attained anywhere and the music. as usual, will be the best obtainable. There is never any doubt about the supper at the Eagles affairs, so that need not create any anxiety.
 Special pains are being taken by the committee in regard to this lance and they are planning on mak- ing it especially enjoyable on ac- count of it taking place so near to the holiday season. This means that Ill lovers of dancing should make a point of being on hand, for, other wise, they are likely to be sorry the next m rning when they are told # the fine time enjoyed.

LADIES' SMOKER IS
 TOMORROW
THERE WILL BE A BIG TIME TOMORROW NIGHT AT THE
 AUDITORIUM.

Tomorrow evening Is to be a big night in Arctic brotherhood circle s and some of their friends have been generously invited to participate. It is the occasion of the Ladies Smok er," which has anIiously been look d forward to by the fair sex, and also by their brethren, for several weeks. It is to take place at the Auditorium and the attendance will be limited to members of the order and to those friends who receive invitations. These invitations may be obtain d from Arctic Recorder II. T. Ray, or any member of the entertainment committee.
 One of the features of the even ing will be the recitation by Mir. Pen nington of The Alchemist, or the Eternal Feminine" a story written by a distinguised English physician, and which will be rendered in Mir Pennington's best style.
 There will be dancing as well, and in between the dances there will be a number of excellent musical and vaudeville numbers rendered. These latter will include wrestling and ight-of-hand tricks.
 There is every reason to believe that the masquerade dance to be given by the Brotherhood on New Years will be one of the very best that has ever taken place in the camp. Already costumes are being pre- pared and there will probably be very large attendance from the creekS

GIVE US THE TRUTH,

If election officers can flagrantlv violate the plainest section of the law and go unpunished, then the common people should move to have the law punishing the crime repealed The evidence can easily he obtained that the election of ficers at Chitina wrapped the bal lots of the challeneed voters up in their affidavit and deposited the whole thing in the ballot box. This not only enable the "eane" 10 know how each man SO challeneed voted. hut intimidated all other voters, who which to vote aeainst the corpora ion candidate from voting at all. The law provides a plain penalty for denrivipe man from casting 2 secret ballot and another just as plain aoainst any intimidation of a voter that makes him afraid to vote at all
 If the peon'e of Alaska let such crimes as this pass then thev are not deserving Of se'f-government and congress should take coenizance of the fact. The plain process of law for the punishment of this crime and they can blame no one but themselves if they are denied s-lf- government when they so plainly fail to do their sworn duty when selected to see that the law Is en- forced. There are very few who expect the appointed officials to take up these matters and enforce the law when it Is injurious to their own interests It is already plainly in evidence that they are side-steppine in every manner possi- hle to shield the "higher-ups" while the poor old drunks, imbecile Japs and petty larceny cases are prose cuted with a vim that has never been eQua'ed in the courts of Alas.
