L2st night was the happiest in the history of Juneau Lodge No. APO of the Benevolent and Protective Order Of Elks For it celebrated in .rue Elk style the burning of the mortgage that has hung for the past l3 years over the lodge home, which was dedicated March IS, 1908. Fully 25O members of the order and their ladies attended the jCllihcation. The entire building club rooms. bowling alleys, ballroom and lodge roOm-was thrown wide open for the occasion, and the crowd entered wholc-heartedly into the cpirit of the evening.
 Dancing formed the principal en- tertainment. The ball room was tastefully decorated with purple and white streamers and with the dane CTS wearing gaily colored paper caps presented a most vivid appearance.

The Alaska Committee on Bishol Rowe's 25th Anniversary has re ceived many letters like the follow ing
 'I am very glad to receive you letter and to be able to give toward the Anniversary Fund, wishing vol the best of success"
 "I wish to thank you for tho privilege you have given me. wish I could give $500 instead o this amount"
 Nothing will give me more pleas ure than contributing, even in SC small a way, to the Fund"
 T thank you very much for send ing me the letter. My prayers gc with my contribution.
 You were quite right in think ing that I would want to have a part in the Fund. l hope the full amount will be speedily raised.
 It would give me great pleas ure to make a substantial gift. This being impossible, I do what car just that I may have a part in it, though small If my gift could be measured according to my love and admiration for Bishop Rowe and my interest in his great work there would be no need of any other than mine"
 How 1 wish that personally l might let my interest in the event say itself in the figures of my check"
 We consider it great privilege to subscribe to such 8 worthy cause
 Tt gives me great pleasure to contribute to the 25th Anniversary Fund of Bishop Rowe"
 Tt is with pleasure that l en- close check. It carries my best wish es and my deep appreciation for his wonderful work"
 My contribution with my very best wishes, not only for the good Bishop, but for the success of your undertaking.
 My gift is one of love, and Hssure you that this opportunity has given me great pleasure.
 Inquiries have been made as to what is Alaska's or Juneau's quota on this fund. The committee wishes to state that it did not care to fol- low the example of other funds in this matter-it being purely vol untary matter and the fund being a testimonial of esteem for and ap- preciation of Bishop Rowe and the work he has done. The committee wishes to leave it to all who care to be represented in the testimonial fund, which will perpetuate his name, and the income from the in vested fund will help to carry on such work as the hospitals in the Interior.
 The Junau Committee is not ask ing every one, but is leaving il 10 many to communicate with any member of the committee-as early as possible, as the committee de sires to close up the fund early next week. Checks can be made out to Governor Riggs, Treasurer" or sent to the Bishop Rowe Committee. Box S37, City.

It being impossible to incor- DO ate fraternal society under the Territorial laws, we thereupOn in coiporated a company styled The Juneau Building and Improvement Company, with B. NJ. Behrends as President, E. R. Jaeger as Secretary and Treasurer, and George F. Forrest as Manager The corporation limit ed it's stockholders to members of the Benevolent and Protective Order Of Elks This accomplished, we pro ceoded to call in all the certificates of debenture and issue in lieu thereof stocks in the building company. These stocks weer issued in $100.00 denominations, and as the certificates were issued in less amounts, the holders paid in an amount sufficient to take one share of stock. This gave Us a surplus of approximately $1 10000 and in the early summer of 1906, actual construction work wa5 started on our present building
