Bring Representatives
of College Together
at a Big Stunt.
A "Varsity night" that promise:
to rival the doings of the famous
Griiliron Club of Washington, knoel
the spots off the high jinks of the
Pen and Pencil Club of Philadelphia
Press clubs of Chicago, and San Fran
"isco and even Seattle, is one o'
the big events to be given on Ga

up members of over 53 colleges o?
universities who are in this section

ion that it will allso be a stag.
Last Saturday night. George Snow
'-ester Gore. Grover Winn and W. F
Hurford. all of the University o'
Washington, taking their hunch from
"he past vnrsity assemblage held
here, met and decided to spring some
'hing out of the ordinary, with tin
<kv as the limit. From a carefu'
^anvass it is estimated that ever}
university of every state in the Un
ion has at least two representative
here and there are others with thei*
liplcmas from other colleges, alst
?n Juneau.
Thirty-five names were jotted dowr J
"?uicklv and then the list stopped
'or it was getting beyond them. Tlu
'1st includes judges, attorneys, Ter
ritorial officials and thoso in othc
professions. From among the 35
oicked some of the rarest talent im
aginable was picked and it is cer
tain that there can be found glee
clubs, "howl 'em down" choruse.'
Iramatic skits, impersonators, etc
'hat will present a program such
is has never been put together o*
'he channel. Of course there wlP
be several athletic features and. a
usual.^-impromptu stunts pulled, wl"
aid to the evening's merriment. !t if
?Manned to have this big high jink
is -,oon as possible and the varlou
fommittees wttl be appointed jus
is soon as a permanent organiza
tion is completed, which will be thic
week.

SALMON GREEK
AND THE LAKE
TO HAVE FISH
Trout Eggs Arrive Here
and Being Hatched in
Special Building
at Thane.
Salmon Creek Lake, abovo tho
big dam of the Gastlneau Company
and Annex Lake are to bo stocked
with fish by the Government Fisher
ies Ijureau during the coining sum
mer. The first shipment of trout
eggs arrived from the south on a
recent boat and are being hatched
ti Thane under the direction of an
ifflclal from the Fisheries Bureau, I
who accompanied the eggs north.
Several months ago the manage
ment of the Gastineau Company and !
ot.oers requested the Department for
?rout eggs to stock the lakes, as
Mere were no fish In either. The
3ggs are of the Eastern Brook trout
md were secured In Colorado from
jne of the largo hatcheries. The
'irst shipment which arrived the
?>ther day consisted of 170,000 eggs.
The old compressor house at Thane
las been fitted up for a hatchery
and as soon as the fry are large
-noifch they will be planted.
It is thought that more of the lit
tle fellows will reach maturity than
's usual as neither of the lakes to
he stocked have any fish in them,
tnd there is nothing to prey on the
mall fry, except each other.
A second shipment of eggs is ex
pected on one of the next boats
and after their arrival they will be
hatched and planted in one of the
'akes. If the experiment is sue
-essful it will mean much to the
sportsmen of Jnneau and vicinity as I
the Salmon Creek clam lake is with
n good walking distance from Ju
neau, and the Annex Creek lake is
t nice day's trip from Juneau by gas
boat.

TAKING MACHINERY
INTO FAIRBANKS TO
MINE TUNGSTEN ORE
That the tungsten mining in. the
vicinity of Fairbanks looks good to
capital is shown by the fact that
last night an outfit for mining the
ore and several horses were on board
the Northwestern bound for the in
terior for that purpose.
M. Stepovlch, who owns the tungs
ten mine in the Fairbanks district,
was a passenger on tho ship accom
panied by G. M. Tnggart. who is fi
nancially interested. The two men
have a large outfit of machinery and
supplies on board the Northwestern
and a large numbdr of horses which1
will be taken in over the trail.
Tungsten entered into the cus
toms houso report of Alaskan pro
ducts for the first time last year,
and from present indications it will
continue to be a regular product of
the country.
