Elks' Masquerade
Was Great Success
The Kilts' Carnival Masquerade
on Saturday night was "<te grande
affaire" of the season.
At an early houi the maskers be
gan to congregate snd almost evory
conceivable character was represent
ed. The costumes wero costly and
showed that great care had been
taken in getting them completed and
by ten o'clock the t)g Klks' hall was
crowded with nier.y dancers and
many and varied were the stunts
pulled off.
Limited space will not permit of
a detailed description of the cos-'
lutnes and we will have to confine
ourselves to the plize winners.
Mrs. Hal Johnston was the win
ner of the "best c.'essed lady, the
first prize, and her costume was a
creation of beauty and skill. She
represented a butterfly and carried
out the part with grace and well j
simulated action.
The second prize for gentlemen
was easily won by 1«. A. McAl.ster,
who impersonated a Chinese man-i
darin and actod the part as to the
manor born, liven his dancing was I
characteristic of the dancing of the
flowery kingdom ^nd his costume!
was rich and rare and a genuine
robe of the Chinese aristocracy.
tiny Sipprelle gained the third
prize for the most original character
as SI. and he was gotten up letter
perfect and acted his part very well. I
The fourth prize, the most comical !
character, went to .V. G. Hanson of i
Haines, who appeared as a native of
the Fiji Islands. This character was
correct in every respect and Han
son's form corresponds exactly with
this athletic race. Every detail was
carried out to perfection with the
exception that Mr. Hanson was not
eating raw meat. Taken all In all
the carnival was a most decided suc
cess and much cr.'dit is due the
committee for their arduous work.
There were doze:.s of meritorious
costumes that could be mentioned,
but space forbids.
The dance was continued until af
ter two o'clock.
One of the novelties introduced
was the cabaret supper which was
served from 11:30 on and was fine. I
Doughnuts and delicious coffee
were on the bill of faro.
There was much talk of another
and the hope was expressed that it
would not be long before another
masquerade would be staged.

I'KIM'KNT. ON SAVINGS
In the last issue of the Alaskan
there appeared a statement of the
Hank of Alaska, which sa d that the
bank paid three per cent 011 savings
deposits.
This was an error, as this bank
pays four per cent, in the savings
department.

Add This Fact to Tour SI ore of
Knowledge.
Kidney disease often advances so
rapidly that many a person is firm
ly in its grasp beforo aware of it3
progress. Prompt attention should
be given the slightest symptom of
kidney disorder. If there is a dull
pain in the back, lieadaches, dizzy
spells or a tired, worn-out feeling,
or if the kidney secretions are of
fensive, irregular and attended with
pain, procure a good kidney remedy
at once.
Thousands recommend Doan's
Kidney Pills.
J. W. Holman, retired police Judge,
Richmond Ave., Dayton, Washing
ton, says: "It seemed as though
every time I caught a cold it settled
in my kidneys and caused lame back.
At times when I had an attack I
could hardly get out of a chair be
cause of the severe pains In the
small of my back. The kidney se
cretions passed too often and caus
ed me to get up n!ghts. I suffered
from pains in the back of my head,
too. Doan's Kidney Pills soon drove
the pain out of mj back and made
my kidneys act like clock work."
Price 601, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy—
get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same
that Mr. Holman had. TosterMil
