on the Island.
The firemen met la9t Wednesday and
decided at an early date to have a new j
hall built where the old foundry stood,
where they cau hold meetiugs as well !
as store apparatus. It is rumored that
at an early date the company will in
stall a fire department of six or eight
paid meo who will be on guard all the
time It will cause a loweriug of in9ur
ance rates, as well as give better flre
protection, as a few trained men are
: better than a host of men who do not
understand the work, no matter how
willing they might be to help.

Club tonight, at which there will be
; boxing, wrestling, singing, dancing and
1 several other athletic stunts to which
all men are invited. On Saturday even
ing they will give a vaudeville show for
the general public, and judging by the
press Dotices in the Skagway papers it
must certainly be a first-class enter
tainment. The men are quartered at
! the Mexican bunk house and Steward
i Ferris is looking after their wants.
Harry Wood and Frank McDonald
were made happy by the arrival of their
families on the Jefferson. Mr. and Mrs.
