ALP|NE: PICNIC
 GREAT SUCCESS

The skagway Alpine clubs exr cursion to Lake Bennett for the benefit of the local chapter of the Red Cross is now a matter of his- tory, and all that remains to be done is for the secretary of the club to turn over to the Red Cross a tidy sum as the result of the affair. 8
 One hundred and thirty eight persons took advantage of the low fare as an inducement to again visit this historic old spot, and there was not one single Dlemish to mar the joy and pleasure of the trip.
 The weather is always 8 gamble, but this time Dame Fortune was with the Alpiners, for Old .Sol stayed by the game from the start, shedding his warmth and friendly. light upon the pleasure seekers. The train was composed of four day coaches, one open observation coach and one fthe modern par Tor cars.
 Engineer Goding presided at the throttle, while Fireman Flynn fed the furnace and the train crew consisting of Conductor Stew enson, and Brakemen McPhee and Tad Hillery, made it their espeT ctal duty to look after the com forts of the passengers.
 Rev. L. H. Pedersen was there with his ever attentive suggestions, and (Mrs.) Secretary Jack Keller did her part to make the affair success.
 While there were only a few of the loyal club members who at tended the excursion, the off cers from Fort Seward and the boys of their commands were there in force, and it is to them that the credit for making the excursion a success Is due.
 1 Upon the return of the p arty from across the B. c. border, an lmpromptu dance was given in White Pass club gym, and this feature in itself almost netted a sufficient amount to clear the in- cidental expenses of the trip.
 The site selected by the com mittee for the picnic grounds was the sand spit on the shore of bea- tiful Lake Bennett about half way between the old town of Bennett and the old Saw mill over on the point near King River, and proved an ideal spot.
 A number of the fairer Sex could not withstand the temptation of the sandy beach, and indulged in wading in the placid waters of the lake.
 | The coffee served by the Ben u6lL Edllu6 hOOo6 " ANNSh -E petizing, and the paper bag picnic lunch put up by the same institu- ton was all that the hungry boys in khaki could wish for. A num- Der of those in Uncle Sam's uniform who were alone and unattached were the guests of some of the more thoughtful ones, and those who acted as hosts to the boys who have answered the call to the col ors report that the pleasure was keen at an opportunity offered them to give the boys 8 little treat.
 As all the ticket sales have not as yet been reported to the com mittee the exact amount cannot as yet be announced, but it win be in excess of $150.00.
