The 3kagway Alpine club's ex
cursion to Lake Bennett for the
Denefit of the local chapter of the
Red Cross is now a matter Of his
tory, and all that remains to be
done is for the secretray of the
club to turn over to th© Red Cross
a tidy sum as the result of the
affair. 4
One hundred and thirty eight
persons took advantage of the low
fare as aa inducement to again visit
this historic old spot, and. there
wag not one single blemish to mar
the Joy and pleasure of the trip.
The weather is always a gamble,
but ♦his time Dame Fortune was
with the Alplners, for Old .Sol
stayed by the game from the start,
shedding- his warmth and friendly
light upon the pleasure seekers.
The train was composed of four
day coaches, one open observation;
coach and one o fthe modern par
lor cars.
Engineer Goding presided k at
the throttle, while Fireman Flyna
fed the furnace an<* the train
crew consisting of Conductor Stev
enson, and Brakemen McPhee and
Tad Hillery, made 1* their espe
cial duty to look after the com
forts of the passengers.
Rev. L, H. Pedersen was there
with his ever attentive suggestions,
and (Mrs.) Secretary Jack Keller
did her part to make the affair a
success.
While there were only a few of
the loyal club members who at
tended the excursion, the offi
cers from Fort Seward and the boys
of their commands were there ' In
force, and it is to them that . the
credit for making the exoursion a
success Is due.
Upon the return of the p arty
from across the B. C. border, an
impromptu dance was given in
White Pass club gym, and this
feature in itself almost netted a
sufficient amount to clear the in
cidental expenses of the trip.
The site selected by the com
mittee for the picnic grounds was
the sand spit on the shore of bea
tifui Lake Bennett about half way
between the o'd town of Bennett
and the old saw mill over on the
point near King River, and proved
an ideal spot.
A number of the fairer sex could
not withstand the temptation of
the sandy beach, ar.d indulged In
wading in the placid waters of the
lake.
T.ie coffee served by the Ben
nett Eating house was most ap
petizing, and the paper bag picnic
lunch put ud by the same institu
tion was all that the hungry boys
in khaki could wish for. A num
ber of those in Uncle Sam's uniform
who were alone and unattached
were the guests of some of the more
thoughtful ones, and those who
acted as hosts to the boys who
have answered the call to the col
ors report that thb pleasure was
keen at an opportunity offered them
to give the boys a little treat.
As all the ticket sales have not
as yet been reported to the com
mittee the exact amouht cannot as
yet be announced, but it will be
in excess of ?150.00.
