DANCE HALL DAYS
 TO BE RENEWED

Approximately 25 years ago big things were taking place in Alaska. This vast territory had been lying dormant for many years before that but some one sent the world gold" 10 the States and a second Cali fornia was born.
 Men of all kinds raTne to this northern country Some of them came looking for gold from the mines. Some came to find it from businesses and still others came to get it in any possible way and took the path of least resistance.
 Soapy Smith was one of the lat Ter type and during his reign of terror in Skagway reaped untild harvests. Many honest miners came 70 Skagway only to lose their stakes 10 Soapy or his gang and then re- turn sadly to the hills to dig for more.
 But soapy Smith could not live on forever and eyen*aaily met his death at the hands of honest citi- zens. But memories of him will go on forever. His saloons, his gambling houses and his dance halls will ever be famous and long re- membered by Alaskans Of 1897 and 1898.

with lodgings in the municipal lodg- ings in the municipal lodging houses of Stockholm.
 This is believed to be the first time that the premier of Euro pean state has personally entertain ed his destitute constituents. When his guests had eaten their fill, Premier Granting addressed them c the economic conditions in Sweden.
 The premier began by informing them that neither this dinner nor any other private or public aid ex- tended to men and women without work was in any sense charity, put simply what was rightfully due them from those who were fortunate enough to be able to help. He said it was not their fault that they were without means of livelihood, but the fault of warped conditions turnout Europe.
 Mr. Granting warned his guests that the efforts of the state to bet ter social and economic conditions could not be expected to lead to i'm mediate results.
 Abiding to the chaos in Russia, he declared that the slow-moving ef forts of the old established govern ment system to improve social con- ditions was infinitely preferable to the breaking up of the old system. The world had seen where such a course led. But social solidarity, he continued, demanded from every person that he help as far as he possibly could in relieving the dis tress of the more unfortunate.
 "I hope" the premier continued, ''that others will follow this exam pie and that you will see thereby an utterance of social solidarity which breaks thru all barriers"
 The premier's speech which was delivered with great earnestness, was received by Q spontaneous and enthusiastic applause.
