MUSICIANS WILL ORGANIZE \
 BAND

For some time past there has been considerable agitation in favor of the organization of band, and the move ment has finally taken tangible shape. Several of our business people have been active in the matter and after careful survey of the field find there is plenty of material here for a first class organization. In fact, it has been learned that there are twenty musi- clans here, and there may possibly be many more among some of the new corners to Cordova. Among them is a professional bandmaster in MT Tingley, who is enthusiastic over the movement
 In order that an organization may be perfected a meeting will be held in the City Hall on Monday evening next at & o'clock to which all who are interested are invited It has been suggested that there are in all pro bability some players of brass among the employees of the many new in dustries started here recently, and if so, they are expected to be on hand Monday night From present indica- tions Cordova can form not only the largest, but best band in Alaska, and we should all work to that end.
 Those who are known to be musi- cians and should take an interest in the formation of a band are the fol- lowing, together with the instruments they play: w. F. Tingley, Roy Shy der, trombone; Frank Cunningham, M. J. Kearney. o. L. Larson, N. J. Black, Aaron Steel Leonard Baur, cornet: Geo. Hickey. l.. Stol, l.. Laska also; II. B. Burkhardt, Thos.
