SECOND PERFORMANCE OF
Of OM OF '97 WAS SUCCESS
The second night of the '97 dance
given by the White Pass Athlctic
club at its hall last Saturday night,
while not as ponerously attended
as tne previous night, proved a
success from a social and financial
standpoint.
A number of people who had been
unable to attend on Friday night,
iurntd out Saturday, and there
were others who had been in at
tendance Friday, who wished once
more to try their luck at the vari
ous games of chance, and the rou
lette, faro, crap, and Black-jack
gamed were all generously pa
tronized.
The dance Hoot claimed its
share of patronage from the ragu
iar dancing «ci, and with the mu
sic up to the usual standard of
excellence, all In aitnedance agreed
teat the "Days of '97 Dance" was
an unqualified success.
With a roll of bunk money
amounting to $117,500. gathered
from various sources. Miss Delia
Rapuzzi was awarded the prize
which had been offered for the
lady accumulating th? most bogus
coiu. Miss Florence l.c-gpe, with
1235 percentage checks was given
the urize offered for the lady who
had .nduced the most men to "buy"

There's one rubber boot
that has "made jrooit"
in Alaska, and that's the
Goodrich
IMPRESS
White Boot
"With the Red-Line 'round the Top"
You know that when a boot comes in and
simply sweeps the whole country like
"HIPRESS" has done, it's GOT to be
SOMETHING UNUSUAL.
White Goodrich "HIPRESS" Boots actually wesr
longer than iron or steel! Yon don't h.ne to half
sole them with leather—they far outwear hoh
nailed leather soles. The reason for this unusual sen-ice is that
"HIPRESS'' are constructed by an entirely new proccss—fifty years
ahead of the old.
Made of the same touph rubber that trc** i~to Goodrich Auto Tires—welded
together under enormous pressure INTO ONE SOLID lTKCi .!
Nothing to come apart—they can't leak, peel, cr*u-k or «: "it! They're comfort
able, too—shaped to the foot while it's working. We promise that once yog start
wearing White "HIPRESS"' you'll never be satisnoi with anything else. And
remerubrr—it has a Red-Line 'round the Top.
