BASEBALL CARNIVAL
DRAWS BIG CROWD
?$?
The opening night of the baseball
carnival at the Kink theatre last ev
enlng. at which a harmless and uuof
; fending reproduction of a dance hall
and gambling house of the early mln
ing camp days was put on, drew a
? large and Interested audience, which
entered into the spirit of the old
| games from which the fangs have
long been drawn by the law.
Roulette wheels spun, chips rattled
; .specters shouted the attractions in
inslstene tones, and little was lacking
In the mimtckry of days that Alaska
will never see again. Black-jack, faro
bank, the three shells, all the gaming
devices of a well-eqUlpped gambling
house, were running full blast?with
phoney money. Women, as well as
men. took part in the harmless
; amusement.
The dance hall in the center of the
Rink was crowded with lithe dancers.
Prof. Dyer and his orchestra .render
ing excellent music for the occasion;
t music loud and clear enough to bo
! distinct above the pandemonium of
i other sounds.
The gambling tables wore presided
? over by a number of dealers who have
1 seen the days of the real tiling; times
' when the boards fairly sagged with
their weight of gold dust, and one of
them was a dealer In the gambling
house of that much over-rated and
well-liked rogue "Soapy Smith."
The carnival will continue until Sat
urday night, and those who havo
: known the dance hall and gambling
l den only by hearsay and inference
; have a chance to see the beast with
, his claws and fangs shorn,
22 HOMESTEADERS
IN CHILKAT VALLEY
Writing in Tuesday's Skagway Alas
; kan, J. J. F. Wurd. a homesteader In
the Chtlkat valley, says:
"The west shores of Chilkat Inlet,
and the Chilkat river are fast filling
up with settlers. There are now
homesteaders from the Chilkat river
down to the south end of Sullivan isl
and. all of whom are improving their
property, and raising vegetables, cat
tle, hogs, small fruit, chickens, etc..
but there is only one drawback to the
fertile country, it has no outlet except
by small row or sail boat, by which
people go to iiair.es for supplies. This
is very unsatisfactory, as bad weath
er conditions op Chilkat Inlet will
only allow one to travel at certain
times."
SENIOR'S EXAMINATIONS
NOW IN PROGRESS
Senior examinations are being made
at the high school. These examina
tions will end the four year's cours
of the senior class aud they are pre
paring to put away their books for ii
time and enjoy a well-earned rest.

those who arc about to graduate, with
the Senior class play, the Class Day;
exercises and a probable picnic.

NEW LIGHTHOUSE
TENDER FOR NORTH
The new lighthouse tender Kukui,
now at Ketchikan, which has been as
signed to Alaskan waters, has been
serving as the government's light
house tender in Hawaiian waters. The
work in the North has been handled
for years by the Columbine, but the
j growth of Alaska commerce and the
extension of the lighthouse service
made a larger vessel imperative. The
Department of Comercc ordered the
two vessels to exchange stations, the
i Columbine now outlining in San Fran
: eisco for service in Hawaiian waters.
The Kukui is 177 feet long, while the
! Columbine has a length of 115 feet.
Comparatively New Vessel.
The Kukui is a comparatively new
vessel, having been built and launch
ed in 1908. She is of steel construc
tion, with commodious living quarters
for her officers and crew.
Capt. William E. Gregory, who has
commanded the Columbine for years
in the North, transferred to the Kukui
with all his olllccrs and men in Sun
Francisco harbor April 21. They will
continue In the northern service. The
former oilicers and crew of the Kukui
transferred at the same time to the
Columbine and are now getting her,
ready for the voyage to Honolulu.
Capt. Gregory is ono of the best i
known veterans in the lighthouse ser- [
vice. No navigator has a more inti
mate and thorough knowledge of tlioi
entire Alaska coast. He was the first
master of the lighthouse tender Hea
ther. now stationed on Pugct Sound,
which was built at the old Moran
plant many years ago.
Personnel of Staff.
With Capt. Gregory on tho Kukui
are W. H. Stanford as first officer, W.
H. Barton as second officer, Harry
Thomas as chief engineer, L. Pritch
ard as first assistant engineer and
Robert Magulre as second assistant
engineer. All are well known In the
North.
The Kukui will have a vessel to
assist her, beginning this season. The
lighthouse tender Kern, now under
construction in the Hall yards in En-i
gle Harbor, on Pugct Sound, has been
assigned to the Northern district to
help out the larger tender. The Fern
will attend to the smaller lights along
the Alaska coast.
Their headquarters will be at Ket
chikan.
R. H. Chadwick, of the U. S. Rubber
company, and Jack Moulton, repre-!
ienting the Seattle Hdwe Co.. left this
norning on the Dolphin for Haines
md Skagway.
Harry J. Raymond left yesterday for,
. business trip of several days' dura-11
ion on the gasboat Lillian.
