in every five-thousand, attain the fif-
tieth year of married life. To them
survive the following children:

 It is the intention of the igloo to to-date health resort, with good build ings and accommodations for a large number of people. The sanitarium will not only be for members of the order, but for Alaskans or anyone who desires treatment.
 The plan has been approved by the Grand Igloo of Pioneers and by the government The mineral hot springs at Bailey are of the highest medicinal value, and of great benefit to those suffering from rheumatism, lumbago or any ailment which hot springs will cure.

 The Bailey hot springs have been long known locally as being among the best in Alaska, the water having con- stant and large flow, with an exceed ingly high temperature, and contain ing valuable medicinal values.
