Mr. J. lkuia. who with, hi* family
have been away on a visit to Santa
.\. on lea. California, since th'; tiist of
the year, returned on the Jefferson
Thursday morning, and will re
open .tis place of business at once.
.Mr. Ikuta states that he and his
family eujoyed every moment of
their • ri:» outside and hail a most
enjoyable, visit with Air. and Mrs.
Keeler in California.
In speaking of tht* approaching
summer season, from a possible tour
ist travel s'andpoint. .Mr. ikuta
uses J.OO' logic, when he states that
tr.at in as much as every winter re
sort :» erwded 'o overflowing: by
residents from the more northern
districts, who a-re seeking warmer
climates, is t not orobable that
when the hot summer comes, those
from t» ® south will seek surcease
from the heat by making the trip
•v> refreshing Alaska.
"The congestion in the larger
cl l£9 along the <x>ast where ship
yards »re located," said Mr. Ikuta.
"is due largely to fhe great in
flux of workmen, but the con
gestion «s just as great in the small
er towns where there are j
no factories or ship-yards. Thesel
are crowded with pleasure seekers, J
or those traveling for their health
or recrea'ion. Alany men employ
ed in towns along the California
ccast wnera ship buiidiug is in
progress are compelled to go to and
from Los Angeles mornings and j
evenings, being unable to ge*.
houses or hotel accommodations in
the towus where their work is."

This has been a gala week
Skaguay. The Ice Carnival at
Municipal RLnlC was lield on Wednes
day night and was a scene of gaiety,
mirth and pleasure. Many came
from Haines and Fort William H.
Se-yard and all pronounced the
Rint entertainment a, decided suc
ces» The ice was in prime condi
tion during the early evening and
was fair for the latter part, al
though. the weather was a bit too
mild 'or firm ice. Tho Camp Fire
Girl? served coffee, sandwiches
and weinerwursts and a nice little
sum was realized for these good
littlo workers. On Friday night
the Firemen gave a grand I>all in
Elks' halli which, was so well at
tended that sitting roomj was at a
premium in the assembly hall. The
entirp building was open and bowl
in" and cards were feature^ of the
evening. The decorations were a
credit to the committee in charge.
The walls and balcony were draped
with the gay national colors. Bunt
ing being used in profusion. A beau
tiful flag of the Unified States
was handsomely hung from the cen
ter rf the Toom. The stage was
appropriately decked with national
fl'"s as a setting- for large pictures
of \\ ashlngton, Lincoln and Wil
son. Helmets, hose and other para
phernalia of the fire department
wrc also arranged to please the eye.
The "Father of his country" look
ed down upor., a scene of pleasure
that in his day would hardly take
th° olace of the stately minuet and
Roger Decoverly. George and
Martha would have been much sur
prised to witness the abandon; of
£. n *ay revelers in the ragging and
hunny bugging, all of which proves
that times are not so slow now as
in tie good old days of the colonials.
Hcwbeit all had a j°lly good time
and enjoyed the fine music and the
tempting luncheon. Many beautiful
gowns were in evidence and many
of the sterner sex were in "tail
cdts." The Peterson brought a
bi? crowd from the Fort and Haines
and remained until midnight when, it
returned with the jolly boys of
UtclQ Sam and a, goodly sprinkling
of civilians. A number of ladies
from the Post and Haines were pres
ent The neat sulta of the army
boyi added distinction to the event.
There were two booths near the
floors where several young ladies
dispensed! sparkling fruit punch for
a small sum, the proceeds to go to
the Red Cross. 1
