itors bflETin the rough stuff an.i
the horn® players took it up. It is
houed that the Saturday game will
be one according to rules, and that
Ube spectators map be treated to

In offering: these moctissin-slippers we do so
with the assurance that the selection is the
most extensive collection of beautiful Alaska
Native work that has ever been offered.
These mocassius met the requirements of the
most fastidious and exacting tourists during
the past season and taxed our facilities to the

be a well pleased person who receives a pair
