 AT HALvORSEN'S
Dazzling Array of Season S Fashions Bright
 and Smart

New 1886 Spring styles at Halvor- sens offer happy release from Whit CT, and the smart downtown ready to-wear center has outdone itself this season with a dazzling array of new cheerful things for milady
 Miss Christine Halvorsen, head of the store, who returned recently from an extensive buying toul which took her as far as New York City, announced that the Spring Opening at Halvorsen'S tomorrow will reveal to Juneau ladies all the latest in wearable materials. This fashion review, she said gives g summary of what Paris, New York and Hollywood approve. While wo- men have been shivering in winter furs, Halvorsen's has been busy planning the opening of the new season which will be brighter ant smarter than ever.
 Suits Are MGnnish
 There are various types of suit; for Spring. Miss Halvorsen said but tailor made is the rule. Strictly mannish types are of major i'm portance, but there are feminizec tailleurs that scorn any fussy de- tails, but are feminized by lines that accentuate the figure.
 The influence of masculine clothes is immediately recognizable in the man tailored suit. The shoulders are built out for just suggestion of width, which makes the nippeo in waist look. even more slender, by virtue of contrast. Single breasted styles with one button closing are much smarter than double bree st. ed styles. Jacket lengths are planned to simulate mems coat lengths, and sleves are just about cuff length Skirts are slender, slender, slender
 The only slight suggestion of add ed detail allowable is possibly bit of braid trimming, or stitched edges Hard finished worsteds, mems wear

very much in the running. A nice selection of colorful scarfs and your tweed coat becomes an impressive costume.
 Cdpes Again
 CapeS are styled so cleverly that they just never look awkward, and are staging real comeback this Spring. They give a flattering sil- houette that doesn't envelope you in yards and yards of material and obliterate your trimness. If you have any old-fashioned ideas about capes, discard them promptly. Try on a cape or two, and be pleasantly sur prlsed with the result. It's new new thrill in fashion, so do have your fling.
 BoleroeS
 The bolero jacket is of increased importance this season, and is smartly wearable with skirts or dresses. It is an excellent separate jacket that has many useful possi- blllties, is versatile, and offers warmth without weight as that lit tie extra something so often needed
 Vests are colorful little sports ac- cessories, very man tailored of ben galine, in all the bright, shades i'm aginable. They are worn with either a suit or coat. Add a few vests tc your wardrobe and you will be do- ing something smart for yourself
 Hats Are Smaller
 Little hats, Miss Halvorsen mo- tices, on her Eastern buying trip are best this Spring, but are fal from being simple little darlings DrapeS, tucks, pinches and a lot of other milliners' tricks give Tiff to the back of turbanish bonnets and tumble all the bulk to center front. Brims in back hug the head line closely, and then narrow down. ward and forward at the front. Even the popular pillbox is no longer content to sit straight on your head with unbroken line. The new pill boxes are prolonged at the front by stitching detail or tucks and are sometimes even widened bit at the sides. The Breton sailor has staged a me-back, and is more than well come.
 Dresses, hosiery, and accessories carry out the gay spirit of the new season, Miss Halvorsen said. A gen. eral business recovery is responsible, it was said, and Miss and Mrs. Am erica will blossom out in their most colorful attire for the 1886 warmer months.

 SURVIVING WELL AT SITKA

Pheasants which were intro duced at Sitka in the summer of 1884 are now surviving their second winter in Alaska surprisingly we'll states Frank Dufresne, assistant director of the Alaska Game con- mission. --
 The pheasants suddenly appeared last week at the ranch houses in the Sitka vicinity, apparently seek ing food after the weather con- ditions had depleted their wild re- sources Food was sent over from Juneau by the commission to be fed the birds by the ranch owners.
 Excellent cooperation is being received by the commission from Sitka residents in building up the pheasant colony, Dufresne says. Tere were 225 birds placed there in 1884 after being shipped from a Washington state game farm.

HUNTING SEASON AT END
 ON ALL BIG GAME ANIMALS

Tuesday marked tie close of the hunting season on mountain goats, moose. mountain sheep and cari- bou.
 The season opened August 20.
 Not many goats or sheep were bagged this year according to the Alaska Game Commission, light snowfalls having allowed them to go further back into the mountains. Caribou hunting is also said to have been poor, due to the fact that the animals are changing the routes of their mIgrations.
 About the usual number of moose were shot, with between 20 and 25 being taken in the Taku and Stik- inc sections.
 Ehe only shooting now allowed IS for grouse and ptarmigan, the season on which closes February 2S. The bag limit is Is grouse per day 25 ptarmigan, or an aggregate on both of 25.

Airplane Carrier To
 Make Alaska Cruise

Preparations for the proposed cruise of the airplane carrier U. S. 5. Ranger in Alaska waters are be- ing completed by the Navy Depart ment, according to word received from Delegate Dimond's office. The General schedule of the Ran gers movements on the cruise show that the vessel is expected to leave Seattle on January IS, en- route for a "cold weather operat- ing area in Alaskan waters
 The department has not dis closed any information as to where the indicated area is or to any pro- posed itinerary in the calls that may be made at Alaska ports, so 1t is generally assumed that the Ran ger will seek a combination of low temperature conditions and favor able or eratiug areas such as con- Gitions found from day to day die tate. The present plans for the cruise only allow about twenty days for exercises along the coast of Alaska so it is not likely that any extended stops are contemplat d at any ports except when required for refueling or watering
 The mission of tLe carriers trip is considered confidential by tle Navy Department. However, it appears that the projected eXer- cises are in line with the aim of the Department as indicated r several years past, to familiarize il officers with the Alaska coats and, in this instance, to make tests of it's flying equipment under cold weather conditions and to give eX perience to it's flying personnel un- der such conditions.
 The full flying complement of the Ranger consists of four squad rons of eighteen planes each, or seventy-two in all; but it is under stood that this full complement wi'i not be carried on the trip to Alaska.
