President Andrew Stevenson open
ed the doors of tfce Bank,of Alas
ka, and iavit^d the business mem
and residents of Skagway to jdo
their banking* business with that
institution.
7t was with justifiable pride that
the officers of the bank who were
present escorted, their guests thru
the [beautiful new building. The
larg.-. banking rooms, with the huge
concrete, steel re-infiorced vault,
Kitn its intricate doors designed to
protect l\he money and ,papers and
reords of the institution from
possible theft ,and fire, the presi
dent's private office, the ladies
and mens rooms and the directors
room, were all thrown open to the
visitors, and ,each fine who was
siiown about the building agreed
that it was perf-cct in all its ap
pointments.

when the bank is lighted with the
beautiful indirect electric lights ,1s
no less pleasing than that which is

MR. AND MRS. HUTH
TENDERED A PLEASANT
FAREWELL DANCE
Last evening the "Wliite Pass Ath
letic jduh was the scene of one of
'he most enjoyable affairs of the
season, the occasion. being the fare
well dance tendered to. Mr. and Mrs
George .Huth by the Sports Com
mit'ee of the Club.
It ,was but a few mouths age
that as a stranger, Miss Lillian, Hay
uon made her (debut into Skagway
society, when she was made the wif
of Mr. George Huth at the Presby
terian church, and from that time
forward this youug coupl© have
occupied a position in ^he socia]
circles here, and by their pleasing
perosnclities have so endeared them
I selves to , their many friends that
their absence will be keenly felt.
From Skagway Air. and Mrs. Hutl
will go to Wrangell, where Mr. Hut]
will hold the position oi
assistant jcashiea- for the
Bank of Alaska branch, at thai
place, and it is safe to assume that
they will soon ingratiate themselves
with the people of Wrangell j as
they have with the people of Skag
way, and their residence in the.new
home will be as pealsant as it has
been here. J
At last night's l>arty, whils mer
riment seemed to prevail, there
was apparent an undrecurrent ol
regret and sorrow, which could
cc me from no other source J than
the thought that Skagway was tc
lose these young people.
One of the novel features j ol
'he dance was the throwing of dra
gon confetti over wires stretched
across the hall. This produced a
very oleasing effect as the prettily
•gowned women accompanied by thei:
escorts passed through the gaily
colored streamers which became en
twined about them ,as they glided
to and fro in the merry whirl oi
the dance.
When the last dance had ended,
all joined in wishing the departing
couple bon j voyage, and some of Mr,
and Mrs. Huth's more intimate
frieuds accompanied them to the
good sliip Spokane (which carried
them *0 their new home.
SECRETARY ABRAHAMS SAYS

Inadvertently, in, the write up
of the "get toetgher" luncheon giv
en by (the Skagway Commercial
club yesterday, no mention was
mai'j of the straightforward, talk
given by j Secretary Phil Abrahams.
This was one of the most important
talks made at the,luncheon, ag Mr.
Abrahams brought before the mem
bers present various subjects (that
had come to bis attention that
needed action by the club, and,the
further fact that it was necessary
that the dues now owing by. ttha
members of the club be paidl
DTOwpUy so that lubrication fox;
the wheels could be purchased. Ho
said that a number of the mem
bers had cheerfully paid their dues?
monthly, but that there were somci
who had allowed themselves to get
In arrears, and he wished that these*
would come forward with checks.

east corner. (Be'ween the bank and

It is not exaggerating when it is
sa'd that Skagway has the finest

Honolulu, March 21—The great
yoioano ot iiilauea is npw at the
height of its glory, the molten, lake
of file having approached a point
very neair the rim of( its confining
pit. I" hag been visited by. thous
ands of people during the | past
few v- ceks, the gteamerg from Hono
lulu *o the seaport of Hilooa the

filled tc capacity and. the hotel ac

large crowds remain spellbound up
on the rim of the pit until far in
to the morning hours. There is
none other such marvelloug demon

approaching Kileau, and certainly
none which may be witnessed in
bucU1 perfect safety and comfort.
