SUCCESSFUL CARNIVAL
 HELD IN KETCHIKAN

A crowd nearly double that which attended the first night of the Pic. neer's Days of '98" Carnival came to the second on Saturday, says the Ketchikan Chronicle. The "early days were reproduced with even more life-like exactitude.
 On the arrival of the Admiral Watson from the south the passen- gers came down to he Hippodrome nearly en masse and in five minutes ninety dollars was taken in at the ticket office. The first night at the door, road-house and bar totalCd over $500 and the receipts on the second night were nearly $160O. which, after expenses are deducted will go to- ward the development of Bailey bay this season.
 The popularity contest was a close one and ended with Mrs. Arthur Hall the winner by few checks over the two other main contestants, Mrs. James COyIe and Miss Jerry" Ro- selle. Mrs Hall was awarded silk umbrella. In the drawing for the Glacier Bear, the third and winning ticket drawn by Miss Dorothy Wake field proved to be her own, and she was awarded this valuable prize. The winner of the silk umbrella awarded to the woman who at the close of the affair had the most carnival money was Clarabell Shock, who had 19 pounds of it. The dancing was ter minated at 3:3O a. m. and the doors were locked bringing to a close the most widely attended event held in Ketchikan in many months.

LIGHTER WOOD 7HANCORK HAS
 PULP QUALITY

CHICAGO, March 9.-Balsa wood, growing notably in Costa Rica and Ecuador, is the lightest wood known, weighing only 7.3 pounds to the cubic foot. Cork weighs 13.7 pounds. Grow ing mores rapidly than almost any other known tree, it is said that within four years balsa tree will attain the height of 30 feet, with a diameter of ten inches. It is as dur able as ceds@
 The wood is white extremely straight grained and easy to work. It is soft when green, but seems to harden later. It is used extens- lively for making life rafts and life preservers, and it is thought that it will evenually constitute a valuable source of pulp wood A brown-col- ored cottonwood, commonly used for stuffing pillows and mattresses, is also produced.
 It is believed that the tree would flourish in Florida, and because of it's growth would spread rapidly over the southern part of the state.

 With Mr. Sadlier as interlocutor and Messrs. Brunelle and Saari as endment, the first part was devoted to song and comedy and it is very apparent that many of the boys have missed their vacations, instead of be- ing in the employ of the Guggen- helms they should be on the stage. The part singing was of high order and all of the soloists scored great successes. AS for the comedy batter, the endmen played no favorites. but included everyone in camp as tar gets for their jokes.
 The second half was musical treaty chiefly instrumental. MT. SNhAiSGptIbS S NlOllu SOlO was tautt less. The saxaphone and trombone duets were well received, and for his masterly violin playing, MT. Rudolph was many times recalled; a Hawaiian dance in costume (not to much) was realistically performed by MT. Bru- nelle- to the strains of ukuIele play CTS adorned with leis: MT. Menag- lia's act was distinctly clever and Mir. Schultz as an impersonator was some girl"
 George Wilson's rope act was a "whirl."
 The orchestra with MT. Healy at the piano, added greatly to the sue cess of the show
 The whole affair owed it's success to Miss Catherine E. Schultz who had worked untiringly for several months this young lady characteristical- ly remained in the background, but everyone knew and appreciated her work
 The hall was filled to overflowing including a large number from Me Carthy.
