Why should you buy phonograr
before you learn to play one?

Learning to play Columbia Grafonola is
simply matter of watching Columbia dealer
play one or two records. Then you can play
the instrument yourself
You will find no lack of opportunity to play
Columbia Grafonola at any Columbia store.
They are very glad to have you play the
Grafonola as much as you like, and the more
you hear it the better the chances are that you
will finally buy Columbia Grafonola.
1t may be few weeks before you will be
ready to buy phonograph, but there is abso-
Iutely no reason why you should not put IN
that time with pleasure and profit
The Columbia salesroons are operated for no
other purpose than to give the public chance
to see the Columbia instruments and to hear
the Columbia records. 1t is well understood by
the Columbia dealer that sensible people cam
not be rushed or hurried into the purchase of

take your time, and wants you to feel at home.
Buying Grafonola is really very pleasant
piece Of business and the Columbia dealers
try to make it even more pleasant. So do not
hesitate to go in and get acquainted with the
Columbia Grafonola. If you like, you may
have the instrument sent to your own home

other phonograph you or your neighbors have.
The wonderful tone of the Columbia Grafonola
will be plainly apparent. On this test it prac-
tically always wins.

hear the instrument played and ask questions
about it, because every question asked about

WHEN HE
 CURFEN RINGS

The cold snap which Skagway has been enjoying for the past several days has been an incentive for the lovers of skating to get out in large numbers, and as the ice has been in perfect condition at the muni- cipal park, the small rink has been taxed 10 it's utmost to accommodate all who have desired to enjoy the sport.
 The Public Works and Public Pro Derty committee of the Skagway common council has the question in hand, and they assumed that the cuvfew ordinance would cover the matter as regards the use of the rint by the children, and took no action in the matter, other than to give the kiddies to understand that the rink was their property from the closing of the school up to the time Of tpe ringing of the curfew at s o'clock. All day Saturday the rink was also at the disposal of the chil- dren.
 Now the committee find that the children are disregarding the cur few ordinance, and in fairness to the grown-ups, who by donation of money have made the rink possible, request that the little ones give up the rink to the older people at s o'clock, in order that they may have the full enjoyment of the ice, and also as Q means of prevention of possible injury to a child which could result from collision with a grown up who might be skating fast CT than the child.

SAYS CAMPBELL CASE
 MUST CLOSE SATURDAY

Saturday, April 2S, was set by Judge Stanford as the time for clos ing the contestee's case, whether all evidence is in or not. When Judge Sloan asked the court to set a date for taking depositions in Eager, Ap- ache county, Senator Ives raised an objection and made lengthy argu- ment against allowing another con tinuance or delay, accusing the con- testee of filibustering and prolonging the case to keep Governor Campbell in office as long as possible. He read stipulation made by the attorneys at the beginning of the contest which was an agreement that no longer than week was to be consumed by either side in preparing case against a precinct where fraud was alleged. Ives asserted that next Wednesday would be week since Sloan started the investigation of the several pre-

cincts and asked the court to close the case at this time.
 In answering the attack of Senator Ives, Judge Sloan appealed to the court to take consideration of the fact that when the stipulation referred to was made, there was no intimation that Snowflake would be taken up. This investigation changed their en- tire plans and preparations, Judge Sloan said. Jurge Campbell added that the court should also take into consideration the fact that the con- testant has occupied more than 60 per cent of the courts time. since the case opened.
 There were several lively tilts among the attorneys during the morning when sarcastic remarks were passed back and forth. Judge Camp bell was caught with a sheer on his face which Attorney Struckmeyer considered an insult to him, and told the court about it. A few minutes later, Judge Campbell was resenting an insinuation made by Senator Ives.
 q do not care what Struckmeyer says," Campbell remarked in a griev-
