Famous Old Pack jTram Cafe
Closes Its Doors To The Public
On Tuesday evening one of Sims
way's oldest institutions closed its
doors to the public, and today all
that's left of the fsmous old "Pacla
Train" cafe is beininx stored away ii
the vacant building at the corner
of Sixth avenue and Broadway.
For more than 20 years the trav
eling public and th* residents of
Slcagway have patronized this wide
ly famed eating house, and it has
been held up to a high standard.
This reputation could no longer be
sustained on account of the present
high prices ana the curtailment of
business, and rather *han reduce its
standard of excellence, the propri
etors decided "to fold up their
tents like the Ara:>, and siletnly
steal away."
John Clecak, one ot the mem
bers o* the firm i'f Karaman and
Clekak, was called to the colors un
der the terms of the selective draft,
and this left Mr. Karaman alone,
with the entire burden, of carrying
on the business. With the price of
chefs and waiters bo high, the »train
was too great, and the decision to
close up was made.
This places Skagway without a
restaurant other than the dining
roofns conducted by the hotels, and
the Deople from the Interior, pass
ing through Skagway will look in
rain 'or the old "Pack Train" sign,
and fondly rememDer the good eats
that Tony and John and Charley
v©re wont to serve up. ■*

NAME FOR HOSTESS
HOUSES
"Oh! Gee! Houses" is the name
by -which the ostess houses con
structed by the Young Women's
Christian Association at the 34
camps and cantonments have come
to be known. "Ou! Gee!" was the
expression used by the soldiers who
first saw the interior of the Campf
Kearney hostesss house, which is
furnished in bright California col
ors, and the soldiers suggested that
the place be chritseued the "Oh!
Gee! House."
| Since the middle o' June, 1917,
1 when the hostess house for the Re
! serve Officers' Training Camp at
[Plattsburg, N. Y., was opened, this
branch of the work of the Y. W. C.
A. war council has extended to most
of the camps. Two hostess hous
es for friends of colored troops are
ooen and eight mc,re are being built.
"No other place in a hostess
house attracts the soldiers with so
vital an interest as tho nursery," sa:d
ooe of the workers. "They look
in cautiously and man after man
tiptoes Into the room to see babies
left there to rest. Many a man has
Baid, 'It looks more like home than
anything I have seen since I enter
ed the Army.* "
MA J. AVAUGH HOME AGAIN
Major W. H. Waugh, head of the
Alaska Road Commission, has re
turned from an inspection of the
Roads in the Interior to Fairbanks,
and around Anchorage and Valdez.
The Admiral Farragut, on which he
arrived, made a stop at Fort Sew
ard and he there learned that two
of the Juneau draft men were being
recommended for the officers' train
ing camp. Their names Were not
given for publication. Unusually
high water did much damage in
places, otherwise, ho reports, the
roads in the sections visited by him
in good shape.
Th6 trip to FairDanks, on which
he killed a black bear between
Tanana and Gulkana waters, was
made in eight days. Rail: cads and
automoDiles, dog teams a.j?u horse
teams, and finally shanks riaie were
used before Fairbanks was reached.
The return trip was made under
similar conditions in seven days'
time. The distance is eom® ,350
miles. The season was bo late that
not until after the first of July
could one get clear through with an
automobile. TJnmelted glacierr. of
unusual size were the greatest dif
ficulty.
Major Waugh reported several
quartz mines in the Willow Creek
district actively engaged in extract

COUNCILS WARNED
AGAINST IMPOSTERS
To the Several County Councils of
Defense:
Lieutenant Mitchell, In charge of
the British-Canadian recruiting of
fice :n Spokane, has reported to the
3pokane County Council of Defense
that a number of Canadian soldier,
or men posing as returned soldiers,
are wearing the British or Canadian
unifoims without authorization and
are traveling through the country
giving -public speeches for which
they charge admission fees or charg
the local committees fixed Bums for
their services.
W© therefore urge all County
Councils to exercise unusual care
in investigating the credentials of
men claiming to be soldiers returned
from the front, unless tjiey have the
Indorsement of /the Committee on
Public Information, or of some
other branch or department of the
government, or of the National or
State Council of Defense^
Please bring this to the at
tention of all those in your coun
ty who are likely to be making ar
rangements for Patriotic speakers
from time to time.
M. P. GOODNER,
Executive Secretary.
State Council of Defense.
He had two communications from
boys at the front. One from Frank
Kitterage, now Captain Kitterage,
who was formerly I* charge of Al*
iska road work under the depart
nent o* agriculture, saying, as is
inted briefly on the white cards
irovided for the boys iiy France.
"The ship on which I Bailed has ar"
-ived safely overseas." Another card
from Corporal Graham," who en
listed from the Alaska Road Com
mission's Juneau office last Decern
ber. He states that he arrived
[safely, none the worse for the trip
HITTING THE BULL'S EVE
E. J. White, Chairman of the
Publcity Bureau for Alaska has
prepared and distributed some win
dow; display cards and other lit era tu J
so brief, explicit and accurate of
the conditions in Alaska that many
people have made favorable com
ment on them.
The idea of the oureau is to keep
Alaska before the public and to
furnish accurate valuable informa
tion to anyone contemplating: a visit
to Altiska either for pleasure or for
business. Two small ads placed in
Seattle papers, said Mr. White,
brought 16 requests for information
by the return mail.—Dispatch.
RED CROSS NURSES IN
EVERY FRENCH HOSPITAL
Waimington, July 30.—The Red
Cross issues the following:
To care for American wounded
sent Jtom the French sectors to
French military hospitals, the A"
merican Bed Cross has assigned one
of Hs nurses and a French
and English sneaking Bed Cross ai(
to every French nospitai caring for
our men, according to a report just
received from Paris. Before thesf
nurseif were assigned, gome of our
men who had been fighting in
Frencn. regiments arrived at insti
tutions where no one could speak
Engliiin. A few of these soldiers,
not recognizing the language,
thought that they h*d been capture<
and were in the hands of the Ger
mans. Doctors and nurses could
not understand the patients, who,
therefore, had difficulty In describ
ing their symptoms and making cleai
their needs. Where Immediate op
eration was necessary it often was
impossible to prepare them.
