anticipated large number of tour

\V. F. Frost, whose home is in
Lancashire, England, but who has
oeen employed since last June iu
the auditor's office of the W. P. &
Y. R. at Skagway, yesterday re
signed his position and will leave
cn the Mariposa today on his re
tern home, where he expects to
join, immediately on reaching there,
one of the many army contingents
that are being recruited and drilled
for the front. The recent receipt
of .otters from home, in which was
mentioned Great Britain's urgent
need of every physically able man
in the great struggle now going on
ia Europe, aroused Mr. Frost's pa
triotism to a noint where active par
ticipation became imperative with
him if he would retain his self
respect.
"Mexico and the Mexicans," an
illustrated lecture with 105 stert
opticon views, will l>e delivered to
night at the Methodist church in
Skagway by James .W. Prltchett, an
American refugee from that coun
try, who found the etreuuosities of
"The Land of the Mayana" too j
wearing on his nerves under the
Madero-Huerta-Villa regimes and I
therefore transferred his residence
a few mouths ago to the quiet I
and peaceful atmosphere of Skag-1
way, Alaska. Mr. Pritchett is a
speaker to whom it is a delight to ]
listen, and we bespeak a large at
tendance to hear hii; tonight. The i
lecture will be interepersed with
vocal and ^Instrumental selections
. jome of Skagway s most talent
ed people. There will be a vocal ]
solo by Mrs. W. D. Fisher, violin
60I0 by Prof. O. Selmer, vocal so- j
lo by Mrs. Clareiue Olson, and 1
accompaniament by Mr. P. H. i
Ganty. The entertainment is un-1
der the auspices of the Woman's
Auxiliary.
By the courtesy and public-spirit- j
edness of Manager Geo. Mowl, of tl.a
Popuar Picture Palace, who has of- j
fered to donate to the Skagway brass
bani the net proceeds of the houio I
on the night of Tuesday, May 4th.
the people of Skagway will have an I
opportunity to witness an excellent
entertainment as well as to con
tribute to a very deserving cause. !
Through the many discourag
ments which they have encountered
siuce the reorganization of sever
al months ago the members of the
Skagway brass band have gone
steadily forward in their weekly
practice work, and by so doing have
become proficient in the musical
lines which come wit bin their scope,
as well as filling a long felt want
in the community. Tiiey ase
deserving of assistance from the
people of the town in the purchase
of instruments, music and the vari

they are in need, and when in
rendering that assistance we can at

ourselves it would seem to us to oe
