 o'clock Saturday morning and played a show C'lsle of Spice") at 1 under the glare of a bright monday sun to a packed house. Of course no one knew it until Il o'clock,
 "The band boys turned out for us, and after the show we snapped many shots, which you will see later and started for the boat. the band leading us and playing gaily. Then We discovered we would be there until o'clock, so We insti- tuted ball on the boat. Soldiers and wives and ladies from Fort Gib- bon and all the passengers on the boat danced to band music, then Victrola, piano, and lastly, Thom and Ina got out their ukeleles and sang for them.
 Goodness, it was a treat to them all, and when departure time came there was many an eye gleaming with suspicion of tears. They hated to see us leave so we sang our way out of sight. and it was altogether wonderful day for us all, but most ly for those isolated men and women So We made few people forget their troubles for awhile, and that helped some.
 "Oh, yes, they sent us huge cake with 'BOSTONIANS' written in de- licious white frosting, and also four teen boxes of candy and many notes and kind wishes and two punches of native flowers. sweet peas, pansies and other flowers"

ID IF ETERM|NE TONIGHT ABOUT
 PROPOSED FAIR
SEATTLE WANTS TO AID ALAS KA. MIR. IMMERSION
 DECLARES

Whether Fairbanks is to hold a regular fair in 1917, or will just have celebration for a limited number of days, is the question that will be decided tonight by the members of the Fairbanks Commer- cal Club. The question is to be definitely decided so that J. l.. Me Pherson secretary of the Alaska Bureau of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce, who is now in Fairbanks. may be informed, as his organization promises to give the people here as much assistance as possible in whatever they may undertake,
 While the matter is not definitely decided, members of the executive seem to be in favor of giving up the plan of holding a regular fair here in 1917. owing to the fact that the railroad will not be completed at that time, and it Viii not De possible to provide proper transpOr- taton.
 The executive committee of the club held meeting Friday night and listened to the explanation MT. McPherson made in regard to Se- attle's attitude toward Alaska. He declared that Seattle will not hold a fair in 1917 to commemorate the purchase of Alaska, but is willing to assist the people of Alaska in celebrating the half century birth day of the Territory. His friendly talk did much to win the appreciation of those present for Seattle's new attitude toward Alaska.
 MT. McPherson explained that the Alaska bureau is doing everything it can to create a better relation ship between Seattle and Alaska but little was said to him concern ing the way the people of Alaska look upon what is known here as the Seattle spirit"
 The sentiment expressed by some

of those present at the meeting was that MT. McPhrson's plan to bring prominent visitors to Alaska in 1917, and have them entertained at all the towns visited, was an excellent one, and that to make up for fail ing to hold a regular fair here in 1917, Fairbanks should prepare to hold monster celebration when the last spike is driven in the new Alas ka railroad.
 All interested will be made wei come at the meeting to be held tonight, when a free discussion of the fair plans will be held.
