 The club gave dance at the Mckiu- non hall last evening. The music wa' good and every body seemed to feel like dancing. A News man looked i'll for few minutes and we observed that the better the members become ac- quainted, the closer they get to each other in the round dances.
 J. Kennedy and James Gleason of this city, are putting the finishing touches on nice little steamer, in the ship yards at Shakes island. She is forty feet long and is new from the keel up. Fort Wrangel will be her home port and she will fly the stars and stripes. She is nice little boat and we hope will make her owners lots of money.
 Charles Meston, of Seattle, has an ad in this issue of the News. and every bus mess man in Fort Wrangel should not fail to read it, for Rubber Stamps are needed in every store and office. You will find his prices as low as anywhere, and the work he does the very best, and your mail orders will be filled just as promptly and as cheap as if you were at his place of business.

He built fine sidewalk in front of the Case X Wilson store which in itself is commendable, but he also built somesgood plank walk in front of the adjoining property at his own expense. The property owners on lOllb StlCtb DlNt btCh NipiilH oOliiC NN cellent work in the line of improve ment of late.

 Sanders, the skookum steward on the Topeka, had an apron on and was do- ing some good hard work when that boat reached Fort Wrangel on her last trip up. He had lost his pantryman and in an emergency he can do any thing necessary, from cook to waiter. Sanders is pretty good fellow, but he will insist on representing himself as an Englishman instead of an Irishman. However, we try to overlook that, for we must acknowledge special favors that the News so frequently receives from him.
 We are informed that m m nam ed Louis Foss, an ex-state senator, who re. sides at Mount Vernon, Washington owns a fine piece of property just west of Case X Wilson's store, and in front of which is the worst old rickety walk in the whole town. On each side of this property, the owners have built good plank walks-in fact all of east Front street is in good shape for walks, except the property above described. Senator Foss is reported to be in good circum- stances and abundantly able to build a good sidewalk in front of his property and we believe he will do so as soon as his attention is called to the matter.
