TRAFALGAR DAY EXCURSION
Oa next Thursday^ the people of
Whitehorse will celebrate the 103th
anniversary of the greatest British
naval victory ot' the Xapoleauic wars,
gained off Cape Trafalgar, Oct. 21,
1S05. The British fleet numbered
£7 ships of the line aud 4 frigates
under Admiral Horatio Nelson, and
it was In the very moment of \ie
tory that the gallant Nelson lost
nis life. The French-Spanish fleet
numbered 33 ships of the line and
0 frigates under Admiral Villeneuve
and the Spanish admirals Gravina
and Alava. G-raviaa was killed
and Villeneuve taken prisoner. It
was at the beginning of this en
gagement that Admiral Nelson hoist
rd the signal that has siucg be
come famous over the entire civil
ised world, "England expects that
every mau will do his. duty."
The celebration of the anniver
sary of this historical event in
AVhitehorse at this particular time
has a dot bly patriotic significance,
lor it will serve to perpetuate the
memory oi a great national achieve
ment la the past and be an occa
sion tor thg raising of funds by
a band cf noble women who have
organized for the relief of the
wounded and suffering, the widowed
and fatherless, the destitute and
starviu;, and to ameliorate as much
as possibl-- the discomforts and
hardship of the brave fellows who
are every moment of the day plac
ing their lives in jeopardy along
**ie European and Asiatic battle
Tronts in a desperate struggle for
the very existence ot their nation
al honor, independnce Mid sover
eignty.
The relations between the people
01 Sk&gway aud our Canadian neigiv
bors in Northern British Columbia
aud Yukou territory have beeu of
the most cordial during the near
ly Score of yeajs that have passed
since the settlement of this section
of the great north. We have re
joiced with each other whenever
ther» was occasion to rejoice and
sorrowed together under condi
tions that called for grief, and in
the great calamity that has now
fallen upon them they have our
heartfelt condolences and sympathy,
but these assurances by word of
mouth aud unaccompanied by a
more substantial token of our es
teem aud sincerity are as but '"tink
ling cymbals and sounding brass,"
for they bring relief neither to
those who in imagination
can see their loved ones suffering
from »ho innumerable ills that fol
low the soldier's life, nor furnish
them the means of alleviation.
On nest Thursday night the
TVhitehore© branch of the Imperial
Order of the Daughters of the Em
pire, the patriotic organuaton of
women of whom we above speak,
will give a bazaar in the X. S. A.
A. hall at that place, and in an
ticipation that a goodly number of
people from Skagw-ay would like
to participate with them, have made
arrangements with the management
of the W. P. & Y. R. to run a
special train between here and
therb, leaving Thursday moruing
and returning on Friday, the rouud
trip fare to be $5.00. At this time
of year especially the trip will be
a delighful one, and the hospitality
of the people th?re is so well known
that there is no need of any furth
| er assurance that all those who at
j tend will ho entertained In a most
, befitting manner.
The bazaar will open at 3:30 P.
i m., and close foir dinner from 6
to 8 o'clock. Songs and instru
mental will alternate during the
evening, the entertainment ending
■with a dance, beginning at 9:30.
