Two mules and one horse. belonging to the United States War Department recently complained about by citi- zens as being driven while extremely lame, are likely to be shipped back today to Fort Wright by Lieut.

 State Agent w. D. Bishop of the Connecticut Humane society. yester- day inspected the animals at Lynch's stables. finding that they were below the standard. All were lame and unfit for working purposes. The army officers agreed to take the mat ter lip at once with the army veterin- ary department with the result that new mounts will probably arrive here in the course of several days to re- place those now in use.

This morning before leaving on the the scene of activity he admitted when pressed that he does actually represent the great Miami Com panys interests and from his conversation one might safely conclude without any positive statement to that effect on the part of Mr. Case that the Miami people have decidel to enter the Alaska field deemnedy.

HALL IS BEAUTIFULLY
 DECORATED FOR BIG DANCE

The decorations of the Arctic Brotherhood hall for the grand open ing dance tonight are most tasteful and attractive. Indeed, glance at the Lall rather suggests some unusual fete than a mere dance room and when the dancers appear this evening one of the prettiest sights ever wit messed in Alaska will be seen. The hall is so spacious that every person who wishes to dance will be accom- modated. The pillars which impeded dancing in the railroad building are conspicuous by absence in the new hall and there is nothing to keep the dance from being the greatest on record.
