j The members of ttie general com

owing to so many irons being in
the fire it was not what could be
termed a well attended meeting and
little was accomplished outside of
routine work, such as appointing
committees, and having a general
discussion of the affair and sug
gesting plans which will jorbabiy be
perfected.
L. E. Reynoldson was elected
chairman of the general committee
and 't was decided that he appoint
a ficance committee to ascertain
what funds could be raised for the
occasion. Chairman Reynoldson ap
pointed L. C. Gault, W. G. Powell.

SUBWAY PAYS HONOR 10 THE
F0URTEEN1H REGIMENT 0. S. A.
Elks hall never presented a more
artistic nor hospitable appearance
than it did last Saturday; when the
doors were opened for the recep
—.. <».«u uauce given to the Four
teenth Regiment now stationed at
Fort Win. H. Seward by the citi
zens of Skagway, ! |j.
The arrangements of the affair
wero under the direction of a gen
eral committee composed of membe:3
from the Town Council, the B. P.
O. Elks, the F. O. Eagles, the Arc
tic Brotherhood, the Masonic lodge,
(the White Pass Athletic club, the
Order of Pioneers, the Skagway Vol
unteer Fire Department, and the
matrons and .young girls of the so
cial sets of the Garden City.
From the moment that the idea
of entertaining the soldiers at the
post was definitely decided upon 1
until the sweet strains of the Home
Sweet Home waltz was played theiel
was no slacker on tho committee.
The boys in khaki could have done
110 better under fire in following
orders than each individual member
of the committee did, and brave
troops never entered battle with
greater earnestness and determina
tion than did this little band of
willing workers who drove their sal- '
ient forward to a success the like 1
of which has never been chronicled '
in the history of Skagway.
The beautiful hall was festooned
in a most elaborate and artistic j
manner with flags and bunting and
across tho proscenium arch there
was a lar?e banner on which Max j
Kolm had emblazoned in gigantic!
letters, painted in warm colors the |
greeting "Welcom Fourteenth jnfan-|
try." || f !
Booths presided over by charm
ing young £irls were placed at both
end of the hall above which signs
of welcome were displayed.. From
these stations cones filled with de
licious ice cream and cooling punch
was handed out to the dancers who
could either tarry a while and en
joy the refreshment or they could
take it with them and enjoy it while
going through the merry whirl of
the dance.
Selmer's orchestra was augmented
to six pieces for the occasion and
that there might not ho one single
dull moment, dancq, followed dance
in rapid succession.
At eleven o'clock a most delicious
supper was served: Palatable salai,
sandwiches, steaming coffee- pickles
and olives and cakes which had
been baked by the ladies who wished
to show their appreciation for the
boys who were away from home
Were in evidence.
This part of the affair probably"
was as enjoyable as the dncing, as
it afforded the hosts an opportunity I
to converse with the guests in a
friendly manner and become setter I
acquainted with the men oj-the 1
Fourteenth.
The attendance was not as large
as had been anticipated, only about
twenty of the men from the post
coming up on the Peterson. This
was due to a misunderstanding ow
ing to the misinterpretation of the
cabels sent to the post.
In order to ascertain if it were
possible for the soldiers to be
present on Saturday for a dance,
Max Gutfeld sent a cablegram . to
Maior Jones, as it was known that
the Peterson had mad© a trip to
Juneau and the cable was sent In
& hurry bo as to know if she would
be hack in time to bring the men
up on Saturday. The message was
as follows:
10:45 a. m., Skagway, June 20.
Major A. M. Jones,
Haines.

urday for Alaska drafted men now

With the assurance that the men 1

At meeting of committee appoint* ■
ed by City Council and all Fraternal |

nest desire of all to. do patriotic
Honor to Fourteenth regiment as
well as all soldiers who are fight
ing our battles and every effort Is
being made to entertain all of the
Fort Seward post if they can get 1
here Saturday evening. Skagway

include this with Saturday entertain* I
ment to entire post. Cable yes- ■<
terday did not Intend discrimination
is Skagway keenly appreciates the
cordial hospitality of the Fourteenth
Signed, L. S. Keller, Chairman of I
General Committee.
It is most regrettable that any
misunderstanding should have a
risen, as it was with the most
friendly spirit that the entertain
ment was planned. Skagway has
keenly appreciated the spirit of
friendship shown by the members
sf the Fourteenth and has accepted
Lhe various invitations sent up here
.<> attend various functions held
it the post and Haines during the
ivinter. These Invitations have
Oeen received by cable and have
oeen informal, gome of them sug
gesting the attendance of the fairer
sex in preference to the male per
suasion.. This has been taken in
jood humor, and while a number of
nen have attended the dances, they
iave always given the "ooys in
ihaki'^ preference, thus showing
.heir friendliness. Invitations were
lent to the post, inviting the sol
Skagway during the past winter, I
ind Skagway ha? been honored by 1
he presence of large crowds of the <
nemoers OX the garrison. ' 1
To show that no ill feeling ex
sted .and believing that the Bon- i
ttendance was dug solely to a t
uisunderstanding, the big Bign of
velcomo was taken, down and Pent
0 the post on the Peterson when .
he returned, Sunday morning. .This *
^as augmented by a number of j
ome made cakes, a generous round
X sandwicnes, a. large ration of
alad and pickleg and olives. The
imcheon was sent purely in a spirit t
1 good fellowship and friendliness \
nd it is to be hoped that the mem
era ox tn© Fourteenth will under- \
tand that Skagway hag merely tried 4
3 show Itg patriotism towards \
ie boys who are soon to leave for 4
over there" to fight for the free- 4
om of the world and humanity. <|
