The institu tion of the camp was followed by sumpt uous banquet at the Northern hotel, at which the unity of the Lynn canal towns of Skagway and Haines and the success of the Arctic Brotherhood was toasted. There were twedty-two members of 1 Camp Ska&way No 1, the mother camp of the Arctic Brotherhood, present at the institution of Camp Haines.

Dr. L. S. Keller, grand Arctic chief, was toastmaster. Probably the most significant speech made was that deliv ered by the Arctic chief of the new camp, R. M. Odell, who toasted the mother camp and the Skagway spirit, which he said he had admired for many years. He hoped that the people of Haines would absorb the public spirit and (he disposition to acr in unison that marked Skagway, and he gave expres sion to the sentiment that another tie now binds the two cities on Lynn canal.
