Early Closing.

The clerks in the various stores about town work from : a. m. to P. m-, with an hour off for dinner and the same for supper. All the stores are now extremely busy get. ting up outfits, and will continue so till probably the middle of next month. During the busy season the clerks, who are nearly all mar. ried men, are perfectly eontented to work early and late, but with a cOmmendable desire to be with their families in the evening, they are now circulating d petition ask. ing their employers to close at p. m. with no allowance of time for supper, the same to go into effect after the 10th of March.
 All the stOrekeepers have con- sented with but one exception; he has, however, taken the matter up for consideration, and being an up to date business man will more than likely agree when he learns that all the rest are earnest in their intention to close at D. m.

Leap Year Dance.

The leap year dance last night was a very successful affair. It was conducted in the conventional leap year style. the men decorating the seats until asked to dance, and the ladies rushing around to secure partners for each number. If a man wanted to smoke he was oblig- ed to ask tobe escorted to the dress ing room, and even there he was not safe, for the ladies would in- trude even in this sacred spot md drag their victims upon the floor. Favors were given by the fair ones to each partner, until the men were loaded down with souvenirs of the occasion. The most popular feat ures of the evening were the cosy corners, which were artistic and comfortable, and though the men of Valdez are not accustomed to such luxuries, they soon learned how to use them.
 A dainty lunch was served at midnight by the ladies, and at three o'clock the first leap year party in the history of Valdez broke up.
