Just what the nature or the stunt
the Fire Laddies have up their
sleeves, they refuse to state, but]
it is known that they will pull off
a ovel stunt as the alarm sound's
at nine o'clock. The committee of
arrangements claim that this stunt
will be jyell worth seeirg. or hear
ing ;>r feeling, or taking part in,
whatever it is, and when the boys
make a statement of this kind, they
mean what they say.
Fcr almost twenty years the
Firm en's dance has been the social
affair of the season, and the com
mittee has alw«ys gone to the lim
it in prepaying for the occasion in
a most painstaking manner, leaving
nothing undone which might add to
the pleasure of their guests.
It was intimated that the Har
bor boat Peterson would make the
trip uo from Fort Seward tomorrow
iiight, and in that event there will
be •. number of Sammies present

they may be sent over seas to fight
for those at home.
Remember 9 o'clock comes
around mighty early .especially if
you have to "doll ur" or you have
to do your hair a second time, or you
find that you may have to fix tha
tiny licle in your best pair of silk
hose.

Friday, February twenty-seccmd,

tc as "Trie Father of his Country,"
the l>ai!y Alaskan Fill join with, the
merchants of Skagway in observing
the dav by not publishing. The
Fedenl offices will be^ closed and ft?
depar'ments under the government

FUMES SUCCESS
/ '1
The municipal skating rink
was ti»e scene of Skagway's first
winter carnival last night, and
proved1 a success in every particular.1
A number of the devotees of the!
exhilarating sport of skating were
present in costume, and many daintyj
and amusing impersonations were
noticed. I >
The kiddies had the time of their
young lives, and many of them
wore masks and costumes, some
grotesque, some dainty, and some
comic. ChaTley Chaplin, coons,
koUgobblinjB, ami, other Mother
Goose characters were present, and
the little tots glided over the ice in
utter aoandon, for the moment ut
terly oblivious to the presence of
grown-ups.
The-1boys in khaki were prominent!
anions; the joyous through, the Pet
erson having brought up a capacity
load from the post
The only map to the pleasure of
the evening was the fact that the
weather was a trifle Ioq soft, which
had the effect to soften the ice
in places and these spots were
s.oon badly cut up by the crowd
of skaters. (
As a demonstration of what may
grow out of this experiment, the
reuslts were higli]^ satisfactory,
for it was proven beyond a dpubt
that a winter carnival in Ekagway
can oe made an interesting event in
the winter's prgoram for entertain
ment.

the fishetmen to broaden, their op
eiations. All this will be brought
about bv regulations soon to be en
acted and embracing the Atlan

some of the districts closed sea.
sons 011 certain varieties of salt
water fish are now being enforced
during the periods when these Var
ieties are in greatest abundance in
the shore waters and in many of the
districts restrictive lawa against
non-residents and ailen fishermen

sels and equipment from one state
to malre catches of fish in the shore
waters of adjacent States.
Tu the enactment of the regula
tions due regard will be paid by

"resent restrictions which are vital
ly necessary from the standpoint of
conservation. Regulations will lat
i»r be put into effect on the Pacific
Coast as result of the recommen
dations of rtie Federal Food Admin
