Among the evening’s entertain- ments were to be cards, dancing, bowling and refreshments. The party Jr was to be open to all Elks, Shriners and their ladies, Roy Jones, aviator, was forced to return to Juneau because of engine trouble in his seaplane Northbird. He had left the previous day bound for Ketchikan and got as far as Nevada Creek. Despite stormy weather, tickets for the American Legion dance to be held in honor of Armistice Day at the A. B. Hall had been prac- tically all sold and a large crowd was expected to be present. Articles of incorporation of the Cripple Creeck Mining Company had been filed by Judge James Wickersham, Lockic MacKinnon, J. W. Kehoe, John W. Frame and Henry Hummgl. The property of the com- pany was located near Hyder. Miss Esther Madsen and Miss Gertrude Jackson entertained the pre- ceding evening with a dancing party at the Palace of Sweets in honor of Miss Barbara Harrison, who was soon to leave Juneau. Guests included the Misses Elizabeth Madsen, Lydia Pademeister, Evelyn Judson, Dorothy Stearns, Allen Fortney, Sig L. Olsen, Walter Foote, Henry Sully, Gus George, John Halm and Alby Torvinen.
