INDIAN DAY ON THE FOURTH

The few stay-at-homes who didn't
go to Cordova to celebrate the glori-
GUS Fourth helped the Indians cele-
brate here. The natives came to
town in a body and it was decided to
give them a potlatch.
They were first given big feed in
the Tibbs building, and then they
contested among themselves for a
number of prizes offered by the bus
ir.ess men. The foot races, tug of
war and sack races were entered into
By the Indians with great enthusi-
asm. They gave series of dances
and songs that were interesting and
amusing.
The most ludicrous sight was eight
Indians lined up at a table, each eat
ing a whole apple pie without using
his hands. The winner managed to
dispose of about half of his pie on
his face and in his hair.
The Indians, especially the young
er ones, enjoyed the day greatly and
furnished some good entertainment
for the people of Chitina. The af-
fair was gotten up without any pre-
arrangement and was all the more
enjoyable for that reason. The ma
tives owe John Nelson, c. c. Hull,
Jack Morey and Tom Cloninger most
of the credit for their fun.

Hostelry That Was Built Just After

Most Famous Of Nation Goes
Out Of Business.

st. Louis. Mo.-The Southern hotel,
the Oldest place OF its kind in st.
Louis. and one Of the best known In
America, is no more.
The hotel has remained true to the
tradition of its founders. II was de-
signed as a hostelry Of the first class
and it has never been anything else.
The history OF the Southern hotel is
closely interviewer with that OF St.
Louis. Its fame is not confined to its
own city, state and nation.
Its spacious lobby, it's wide cor
ridors, its commodious rooms, its
luxurious furnishings and its air Of
~aristocracy have been enjoyed and
commented on by men and women
from all nations.
The Southern hotel was rebuilt on
the site of the original Southern ho-
tel, erected In 1865.
Before the old building was de-
stroyed by fire the night Of April IL,
1877, it was the most %pretentious cara
vansary here. 1t sheltered many not
ables.
