H.P. TEAM DRIVE
 ELKS INTO CAMP

Last night the Elks team went down to defeat at the hands of the White Pass Athletics to the tune of 23 to IT in fast and furious game Of basket ball.
 From the toss-up, it was a hard fought game, and although the Elks lost out, they may take a little consolation out of the fact that the Athletics knew that they were in a game, and if they were to win they would have to play for all that was in them.
 Huh made four field baskets and five free throws for the Ath- letics, while Hargraves and Smith each made two field baskets and Liddicoat one field basket.
 Cole made four field baskets for the Elks, and Rousseau and Ra- uuzzi each made one field basket, while Gillespie made five free throws.
 The house was packed and every seat in the balcony and the bleach CTS was occupied. The lady fans had as much fun out of the game as did the players, and the usual good natured rivalry as to which side could yell the loudest and shake their fists the hardest and make the biggest noise showed that both teams had their admirers present

VAULT MOVED
 IN YUKON ICE

The Yukon Gold company has compieted the work of moving the heaviest single object ever conveyed any distance in the North, says the Dawson News. It was the compan's large solid concrete safety deposit vault, estimated to weigh thirty-two and one-half tons.
 The vault is 1415 feet long, 10 fee+ wide and 91a feet high, and has 14-inch solid concrete walls heavy door which swings on steel, while inside is an extra large steel safe.
 The entire load was jacked up from the position where it was built, adjoining the old offices at King and Second, and was placed on the runners of one of the big sleighs used customarily by the company in hauling logs and wood. This part of the work was done early in the winter, and the load was allowed to remain on the sleigh most of the winter, waiting to take advantage of the coldest weather freezing the ice of the Klondike river and Bonanza creek to the maximum thickness.
 Twelve horses were used to haul tho load. On starting the load, the horses strained every ounce of muscle, but once the load was un- der way the animals went at full trot. The ice supported the big weight without the least trouble. In making the descent from the lev el of the city streets to the sur face of the Klondike ice, drop of about twenty feet, steel wind lass was used. The load broke the windlass, and the big vault, sleigh and all ran away down the hill, but landed right side up with care.
 The vault was placed in position adjoining the new Yukon Gold of fees al Guggieyille.

KENNEDY MAKES
 IMPROVEMENTS

During the past several days workmen have been busily engaged in remodelling the Kennedy store on Broadway at the corner of Fourt Avenue, and when they have fin isaed their labors the big cloth ing and furnishing emporium will be one oof the landsomest stores in Skagway.
 Heretofore the street display windows have been enclosed by wooden pack partitions, winch has cut off a view of the interior of the store from the street, and al- ready these partitions have been re- moved and passers-by now have . view of the entire store through the big plate glass windows. This in istelf has been a very marked improvement, and has had the effetq of bringing out the size and inter for arrangement of the store.
 It is MT. Kennedy's intention to put down new inlaid linoleum on the floor, and in addition to other improvements, the interior will be entirely redecorated.
 Changes in the present floor plans of the various departments will be made, and new interior show cases will be put in in or der to properly display the goods in stock.
 While MT. Kennedy has only had the entire management of the store for a short time he has shown that he is progressive and Skagway is to be congratulated up- on having a merchant who intends to run his place of business in a rodern and efficient manner.

ministrat!on is investigating and con-

retary Major d. f. McClatchey that
5000 pounds of the product had been
seized from an illicit whisky distiller
near Jacksonville.
The seizure followed an investigation
made by John L. Talmage, representa-
live of Athens grocers in the food ad-
ministration, who learned that 100000
pounds of the states meager sugar sup
ply had been diverted to the use or
Illicit distillers during the past sixty
days.
Practically all of the sugar supplied
these moonshiners, it is stated, was
upplied by small dealers, princi-
palIy in the neighborhood of Greenville
and Jacksonville, who have been noti-
led that further sales VIII result in
their prosecution and the cutting off OF
their whole supply of all foodstuf1s
from wholesalers.
One merchant at Jacksonville is sup
posed to have sold practically the en-
ire 900 pounds seized from the moon
sinner and to have had reasons for
knowing the use for which it was in
tended The disposal of another and

Germans Join AuStrianS
In Attack on Italians

ITALIAN HEADQUARTERS IN
NORTHERN ITALY, Wednesday, Dec.
12.-(By the Associated Press.)-Gen-
eral Won Bellows German troops have
Joined the Austrians and Bohemians
under Field Marshal Conrad Won
Hoetzendorf in a series of heavy as
saults during the last two days between
the Brenta and Piave river just north
Of Monte Grappa.
The fighting has been severe and at
tended with large losses but the Italian
line has been sustained with one slight
indentation at Monte Spinoneia, where
the enemy secured a temporary foot
hold which is still being contested bit
terly.
Artillery preparation early yesterday
was followed by infantry rushes. The
fourth Austrian division on the right
had a number of Bohemian regiments
in the front line. These men are fresh
from the Russo-Gallician front.
desperate struggle went on around
Col Beretta, where the Austrians were
aided by enfiladed fire from batteries
on the west bank of the Brenta river
in positions established when the lines
were reformed last week. For some
time the Beretta positions were in the
hands of the enemy but a brilliant
counter attack has restored nearly all
the Italian possessions.
German reserve forces were engaged
for the first time since they were used
on the big Isonzo offensive. The fight
ing was bloody around Monte Spinoncia
and Col Orso-"Bear HilP'-with the
enemy gaining a foothold
The result of the two days fighting
has not advanced tacticaIly the enemy's
position leading toward the Venetian
plains, which is his real aim.
