THE BANQUET.

FTHE great mans tongue spake golden
words
OF wisdom treating:
To celebrate, we use our own
For dainty eating.
YNHE great mans hand held sword OF
pen,
Emancipating;
We grasp a knife and fork in ours
For celebrating.
THE great mans feet trod thorny paths,l
l. A leader able;
To celebrate, we stretch our own
Beneath a table.
WE listen to his praises sung,
W The yiands sample,
And think that we can emulate
His stern example.

THE NEW HOSPITAL

The new government hospital which has been under way at this place for several months past is now practically completed and, whs the furniture is installed, will be ready to occupy.
 Tho new hospital is 8 credit to the Yukon government, an asset to Whitehorse, and 8 monument to the architectural and mechanical skill of Superintendent W. H. simpson and those in his employ. The work mauship from basement to dome IS thorough in detail and modern in every respect. The plans as set forth in this paper shortly after work was started on the foundation have been carried out and the build ing, as it will be turned over to the government could not be im- proved upon for the money expend- ed. ! l..

USES OF FELDSPAR

The reldspar quarries in the Unit ed states. with the exception of those in California, are restricted to nine of the eastern seaboard states. Most of the teldspar mined in the Eastern States is Of the pot ash OF the soda variety or a mix ture e the two, and these varieties are used in the pottery industry be- cause after being melted and cooled they form a glass. Feldspar of the lower grade is used as a bind CT in making emery and corundum wheels. in manufacturing opales- cent glass, as a poultry grit, as constituent of roofing material, and for surtaciug concrete work. Small quantities of the purest grades of potash feldspar are used in the manufacture of artificial teeth.

Only a portion of the concrete floor in the basement will be left unfinished and this ihe Yukon cOun- ciI will provide for at its next regular meeting early the coming year Tie heating plant and water service are both installed, the lat ter a 1000 gallon tank operated by air pressure sufficient to give a strong flow of water in any part of the building and amply sufficient to use in case of fire.
 In addition to the two big wards, each accommodating eight pa tients, there are five private wards, an operating room, private rooms for the nurses, doctors office and medicine room, besides the dining room, kitchen, pantry and several clothes closets, linen rooms and other accessorios that go to make Q wall-appointed, up-to-date and modern building. The capacity of II
 the hospital, without crowding, is twenty enc patients which, in case of mining operations being carried on in this locality as extensively as Indications are that will be in the hear future, will not prove too much
 Now that the hospital building is completed, efIorts will be made with assistance from the govern mont to h2ve it furnished and ready for occupation at an early date and to help in this matter it is proposed to dedicate the building by holding | a grand New Years ball there on Itbg night of December 81.
 Those of our citizens who have not visited the new hospital should show their civic pride by doing so' See it and you will say with this paper that ii is, for the money eX- pended, the banner public building lin the territory.-Whttehorse Star.

The following articlG taken from the Juneau Dispatch for Dec. H. gives an account of a chimney fluc fire which occurred in the capital city just 9 few hours previous to the chimney Hue fire which oc- cured at the Alaska General Flee tric c9mpauy's building last Fri day.

Willard is bigger in every respect

being almost six inches taller and

All Of this will act to his benefit, I'M

counter when the battle was to have
been staged at JaureZ. Mexico, but
when the postponement was found

of training to make up for the loss OF
time. Whether this has tended TO in

to be seen.

Taking OF Weight.
The negro is taking off weight
steadily, and this is bound to have a
weakening effect upon him. because
he has been forced to reduce his

able to get down u his former fight

remarkable speed and endurance.

Jack weighed 210 pounds when

arena at Havana, Cuba, and battle for
the highest honor in the fighting
world, the championship tile OF the
heavyweight class. At that time there
will be pitted against each other Jack
johnson, the big negro title holder,
and Jess Willard, the American cow
boy pugilist, who is looked upon as
the man to return the laurals to the
white race.
VIII he do it?
That is the big question before the
fight fans of the world. All are anx-
ious to see him return with the COW
eted honor, but whether he has the
ability to overcome the shrewd and
clever negro boxer remains to be seen.
johnson has been, and is now, con-
sidered one of the most tricky and
