 DANCE AT TAKU
O-O

Sunday afternoon a party of young people chartered the Santa Rita and went on an excursion to Taku Inlet wis iting the celebrated glacier where sev- eral excellent photographs were ob- tained. Afterward the party ran down to Taku harbor visiting the cannery that is now in the height of it's fishing season. Here a splendid time was en- joyed. Sunday being a holiday among the fisher folk only a few were work ing. An impromptu dance was ar ranged for the visitors and a royal good time was had. The Taku can nery employs pretty young white girls from the States instead of Orientals, and the fisher maidens are said to have made some conquests.
 The party was composed of the fol- lowing persons: The Misses Morgan, Welch, Hubbard, Hurlbutt, Cole Laughlin, and Messrs. Leon Hurlbutt, Hilolry McKanna, John Olds, Ben Ben son, John Knapp, William Geddes, Paul Land, Jr., and E. H. Kaser.
