SOMETHING WORTH WHILE

In the Iuu that always comes between the holiday and the opening Of the active industrial season in Southeastern Alaska would be well for the peo pie Of Gastneau Channel tO give little thought to the proposal Of the Arctic Brotherhood to give an industrial exhibition in Juneau during the coming summer in celebration Of the haEcentury anniversary oI American acquisition of Alaska. Just now the effort of the Arctic Brotherhood sell tickets to the people of this section offers the public op portunicy to cooperate with this pioneer Northern organization in very Iaudabe undertaking The Arc tic Brotherhood recently explained this plan in state menJ which is as follows:
 "It is probable that the Exposition will be
 devoted largely to the mineral resources Of
 Alaska and particularly Southeastern Alaska,
 and one Of the very attractive features will
 be Q complete model of the famous Treadweil
 Mine prepared according to scale showing in detail the various workings Of the mine. In
 order 70 carry this work forward and have
 the model completed m time for the exposition it will be necessary co begin its construction at once. and to cover the cost of this eN. pense. the Brotherhood has determined upon the plan Ot selling season tickets Co the EN- position to residents Of GasJineau Channel.
 These season tickets in the first place. will eDtte one co admission Co the Exposition at any time. and during the continuance Of the Exposition orchestra will be engaged Co play in the Arctic Brotherhood Hall every ey- ening except Sunday. And informal dancing may be enjoyed any evening during the con- tnuance of the Exposition, certain evenings to be set aside for dancing The season ticket will also be good for admission 70 these dances.
 "I is believed that great majority of the residents Of Gastineau Channel will wish to examine the exhibit OnCe least and the Op- pOruDity Co so any evening during the tour lSt season and dance for a while will certainly be avaied Of by many Of the holders of the tickets who will feel that they are getting value received for their dollar.
 Arrangements have been made whereby subscriptions Go season tickets a $lOO each be left at the First National Bank to be kept in separate account and the proceeds ngpfu Fha pneFN of com ef~1usf ion 1F the model Of the Treadweu Mine and other preliminary expenses involved in preparing the Exposition It persons who feel disposed Co support the enterprise will leave their sub scrptions at the First National Bank it will facilitate the work Co a very great extent and save the committee much labor
 "The transportation companies as a result of this big exposition are planning to extend the time that their boats will be in port at Juneau The holding of an annual mineral ex- hIblt will unQuestlOnlby be of great value 70 GaStineau Channel and Southeastern Alaska.
 The very moderate support of this en- terprlse which Is requested Of the citizens of Gastineau Channel will be of tremendous ser vice and will be worth to the community and Go the individuals supporting the exposition many times the amount invested"
 It will be from this statement that the Arc. ic Brotherhood is giving exceedingly large value or the subscription that 1t asks. There are very few eop,e in this neighbOrhood who cannot well afford o contribute the of dollar to this enterprise 'hch carries much Of promise. Particularly is ? his true when the organization is offering so much l direct return for the contribution Buy a season ticket, and aid an undertaking that i; worth while.
