Lincoln's birthday "Wednesday, Feb ruarv l2) was celebrated at Discovery by one of the most elaborate social functions ever held in the lditarod valley. The affair had been organized by lady members of the Discovery Five Hundred Club, and it's unqualified suc- cess was a tribute to their painstaking efforts. The attendance was unusually large, the hall being taxed to it's ca pacity, and there were many visitors from Flat City and creek and Iditaro1.
 The hall was beautifully decorated for the occasion, lady present justly describing it as "bower of loveliness. The walls of the hall were cOlumned and arched with evergreens and capped with streamers of red, white and blue which draped artistcally from the ceiling. At the east end was large embossed arch, and in it inscribed in bold letters "Welcome to Our City, At the north side under bower of green, and winged by two large Amer can flags, with small flags in profu- sion, hung portrait of Father Abra- ham. Beneath the portrait, encased in glass, was an original copy of the New York Herald of April l5, 1865. giving a graphic account of the assas- sination of the President.
 The supper was a most sumptuous one, gourmets declaring it to have been the most toothsome that ever ap- peared upon an Iditarod table. It was served by Mesdames Lang & Campbell, and together with wines of rare vim tage and fine bouquet, was partaken oi with exceeding relish by all.
 Much of the enjoyment of the even. ing was due to the able floor commit. tee-consisting of Joe Venus, Bob Shaw and Andy Evans-who performed their duties with the air, skill and ease borr of long experience in that line. The music was under the direction of Ashby Bain and Crosby Kean, assisted by Mrs
