GETTING READY
 F0R THE H.DDIE5

From its imposing position far up the mountain side to the place of honor in the Arctic Brotherhood hall the beautiful spruce tree, that is to be the shrine of all the skag- way kiddies on Christmas night, was placed last night, and the first act toward the grand finale of Camp skagway's Christmas celebra- ton has been enacted.
 With an eye of overcoming any of Natures faults in fashiOning the tree, the hand of man has rounded ou: the symetry of the graceful monarch Of the forest, and for rho next few days willing hands will eagerly decorate the spreading branches with Yari-colored electric lights, shlmmering gold and silver tinsel, illuminated and gaudily col ored mineatures of St. Nicholas, sugar pIums, bags of sweet-meats, strings of snowy popcorn, clusters os candy-cherries, fairies with sil- yer wings, and all the other orna- ments that are to be found on any well appointed Christmas tree.
 During the days still intervening a number of ladies will be en- gagged in making tarltan bags, and assisting in other ways to bring the 1915 celebration up to the eN- pectations of all who have so will lingly given of their time, money and experience
 Each year the Brotherhood en- deavors to change the details of the program, while the features and traditions of the occasion are ten aciously adhered to.
 Away back in the history of the camp it is recorded that the chil, dren only were entertained, but as the years rolled around, the grown ups were allowed to get in on the good things and those who so de sire were permitted to send gifts to the "A. B. Christmas Tree" fol distribution. This custom will pre- vail this year, and all are invited to send any packages they may de sire 10 the hall for distribution or | Christmas night.
 The program for the evening ha' not been entirely completed, but will be printed tomorrow.

 Lieut. c. A. Dougherty, in charge of the coast division of the military cable and telegraph system, re- turned from Seward last night on the steamer Northwesterns While to the westward on his inspection triD of the Seward office, Lieut. Dougherty took hunting leave and spent seven days in the lower Kenai lake district.
 Lieut.. Dougherty reports that he saw forty-one moose In one day while travelling about one and one half miles back from the lake. He secured one fine head and states that moose are 50 plentiful that they are like cattle on the western ranges. He was accompanied on the hunt by Crit Tolman' the well known Kenai peninsula guide.
 Lieut.. Dougberty reports that se- ward is enjoying prosperity as a result of the governments railroad activities. The docks are piled high with freight of every de5crip- tiop from the steamers which failed to reach Anchorage.
