Two Teams Are Appointed, Selection of Captains Is Made and Drive For Increased Membership
 In Seward Is Started
FUNDS FOR A REAL CLUBHOUSE
Arctic Brotherhood Plans Erection of Modern Building, Equipped To Entertain Members and
 Visitors to This Section

A two weeks drive for members has been launched by the Arctic Brotherhood and starting last night the two captains, A. Fl. Mcdonald, and J. s. Badger, marshalled their forces and today both first and sec ond line trenches had been erected, guns hauled into positions and at nine o'clock official reports began be- ing sent out.
 Have made our first capture. Ground is slippery, but forces gain ing a substantial footing and every part of the line pushing forward slowly but surely. The enemy is ours you betcha--but great resistance is already being shown and every shot spent must hit a bullseye."
 (Signed) CAPT. MCDONALD
 That was the first bulletin received at the Gateway office by special cour- fer direct from the front
 Bing-
 Then another came which showed attacks by the opposition.
 "At daybreak, We made our first charge. Cut the wire entanglements of our opponents; captured several of the outer guards, opened full blast with all our big guns. Battle is still raging and success seems assured. No chance for peace talk, victory will alone heal the wounds"
 (Signed) CAPT. BADGER
 And all this means that a battle of securing members, not battle of bullets, is being waged right here in Seward.
 At the smoker last night by the Arctic Brotherhood the big scheme was unfolded. The purpose for this membership drive is to clear up the little indebtedness, and then erect a modern clubhouse on the corner next to the present A. B. building. This new club house will be built for social and business purposes. 1t will be a place for entertaining visitors to the city and the citizens themselves. The club rooms will contain every thing that an up-to-date institution like the Arctic Brotherhood should have, read ing rooms, pool and billiard rooms, etc.
 If you are not a member and an excited person or persons rush upon you and make demand that you forwith and here now do sight is up to one to sign as there seems no possible chance to escape and what's the use, the signing will be for the benefit of the city in general and the Arctic Brotherhood in particular.
 The team losing the contest must give banquet to the victors and that is another reason why scratches are seen all over the streets, A. B. mem- bers digging their toes into the snow and ice to grab the new members.
