al from the frozen earth seemed to
him, useless exertion of energy; it
was also apt to be slow and uncer-
tain.
The way to get the money is to
want, if you have this, the rest is
easy. Feminine society and the glor-
les of the ball room look better to a
man with buckskin full of nuggets,
than anything else in the world. So,
the task of the social upliftment of
the Klondyke was undertaken and
with it was mixed, more or less of a
senger transportation was out of the
question, as all ships were crowded.
Thirty ladies of fortune were placed
aboad an ancient scow, and with
rope made fast to the tail of the
launch, the journey was entered up
on with much pomp and POPULARITY.
There was but one important hap
pening on the up voyage, and this
was dice game; it changed the own
ership of the organization and the or
iginal proprietor became an employee.
rhe original dancing academy has,
in the passing of time, been sorely
depleted, and of the pretty thirty,
only six are today sufficiently supine
to reach out for the weekly pay en-
velope.
In the Klondyke Dance Hall, on the
Pay Streak at the Seattle Fair, the
old pioneer dance hall of Alaska has
been reconstructed. In the back
rooms of the building, all the gam
bling devices of the early days are
placed ready for duty. Smoky lamps
swing from dingy rafters and the
creaking call of the fiddle calls atten-
ton to the changes of the dances.
There is the confused hum of dialect
conversation and the trappings on
the walls are typical of the first days
of the mad rush to the frozen
North. But there is no liquor, no
gambling, no fighting. 1t. has been
built to show a condition which ex-
listed but brief time ago, and in this
it is picturesque and faithful.

CANDIDATES ARE
WORKING HARD

The Tribunes big voting contest is
now on in deadly earnest and the
young ladies who have already enter
ed to try for the free trip to the expo
sitiOn at Seattle are reporting the
greatest possible success, beyond even
their most sanquine expectations.
That the young ladies are taking an
active interest is shown by the vote
this week when the largest vote in
the history of the contest was cast,
all of the candidates taking advantage
of the big special offer which closed
last night. Many of the candidates
closed up all of their promises, others
were not so fortunate, if you have
any close them up at the earliest
possible moment.
Some other candidates may get
them if you don't.
The contestants have different
modes of getting subscriptions. One
young ady asked all of her friends
to get one subscription for her, in
writing of her success to the Contest
Manager says in part: Il was never
so surprised in my life, every one Of
my friends that | had asked to help
me gave me at least one subscriber,
and one gave me three" This is
only a sample, every one has her
friends who will be more than glad
to aid her in her effort to visit the
exposition. What one girls friends
did for her your friends will do for
you don't be afraid to ask them.
What are your friends for if they are
not your friends when you need them?
The trip is something worth striving
for and striving hard. And it does
hours each day during your spare
time. Already the candidates who
have entered are reporting themselves
surprised at the ease with which they
are enabled to get votes for them
selves.
Don't forget your home merchant,
you patronize him instead of sending
away to mail order houses and now
he should help you. If he has paid
his subscription ask for job-printing.
1t all helps you.
Some people may ask you to come
again If they do ask them to set a
definite date for you to call and make
it point to call on the date they set
If they refuse to give you certain
date you know that they don't intend
to help you, they only want you tc
| think so.
The unusual interest taken by the
people of Canyon county in this great
contest is evinced by the large mum.

renew or subscribe and to cast their

REAL KLONDYKE DANCE HALL
Glimpse of NorthIand on Pay Streak at the
Seattle Fair. You Dance With a Fairy
But Buy Only Soft Drinks.

On the Esplanade at the lower end
of the Pay Streak of the Alaska Yu-
kon-Pacifc Exposition, Dave Blake,
a pioneer of the far North has
tied few boards together, chinked
up the cracks, put a tin roof over the
top and the result is dance hall of
the type that made early Alaska ia
nous. 1t is all there; that is, nearly
all.
Day and night the enhancing fiddle
and groaning accordian give forth
their mutual complaints or utter COM
binations of sounds of the kind that
are supposed in mining communities
to herald the presence of terpsichorial
joy. On one side of the rude bar
room, counter of rough lumber has
been built, and here, when the exer-
tions of the dancers have produced
a sufficient load of WEAKNESS, the
gent" may lead his "lady" and lap
up the booze their thirst may indi-
dictate; but 0! not the "hatch" of the
cold north or the modified limitation
called Rye, is passed over the bar.
Not on your life. Buttermilk, cold
from the COW, or pink lemonade and
bottled soda is handed out and COM
plants are ignored by the "bar-
keep sheltered behind his flashing
Alaska diamond.
The ladies who daily and nightly
trip gracefully over the trembling
floors, have not been selected for any
particular point Of architectural
beauty. But they can certainly dance
in the most approved way of frigid
gracefullness, and the "two-bits" de-
manded for their society in the dizzy
Waltz or complicated two-step, in
cludes the liquid refreshments for
both.
The history of six of the girls is
closely allied with that of the pro-
prietor. Ten years ago when the
Klondyke rush drew the wealth and
beauty to Alaska, he was the proprie-
tor of small launch on Puget Sound.
The lure of gold threw his hooks"
into Dave, and he yearned for a
glimpse of the aurora horeallis. The
process of separating the yellow met

ager of the Payette Valley railroad.
This courtesy was much appreciated
and Mr. Dunn came in for many COM
pliments from the fraternity. Mr..
Moss, Mr.. Chase and other leading
citizens accompanied the party to New
Plymouth and kept the party busy
looking at the fine farms, splendid Or
chards, cosy homes, which are on both
sides of the road all the way up the
valley.

LIVELY Meeting
Of JOURNALISTS

There was good, lively meeting of
the newspapermen of Canyon county
and western Idaho at Payette Satur-
day and Sunday. The occasion was
the regular bimonthly meeting of the
Canyon County Press association, and
a special meeting of the Idaho State
Press association. The latter meeting
was called first by President Hackney,
of Meadows. A short address of well
come was made by Postmaster Bert
Venable. Responses were made by j.
II. Wallis, of Rexburg, ad A. E. Clip
son, of Caldwell. The first thing the
association did was to change the
name from the Idaho Press associa-
ton to the Western Idaho Press as
ISOLATION. The newspapers eligible to
membership are those of Washington,
Boise, Canyon, Ada, Owyhee and FL
more counties, Idaho, and Malheur
county, Oregon. The following officers
were then elected: C. A. Hackney,
president; A. E. Gipson, vice presi-
dent; T. j. Brown, secretary-treasur-
er. 1t was unanimously agreed by the
association to make the association a
success.
The government practice of print
ing stamped envelopes was condemned
and other matters of great interest
and importance to the fraternity were
discussed and acted upon. The asso-
citation decided to hold it's next meet
ing at Nampa in September.

of our neighboring city.

Special to the News.

Little Rock, January, 16.-- What will be the next move in the convict muddle is being a. waited with interest by all who have followed the transactions or the Arkansas Penitentiary Board and the attorneys for the Ar kansas Brick X Manufacturing Co.,, the concern which worked the convicts for 10 years at the rate of 90 cents per day while the state clothed, fed and guard ed the men and now refuses to give them up even though the term of the contract expired January 1. It has now reached a point where the state has pos session of all the convicts and has them securely under lock and key, while the attorneys for the Arkansas Brick & Manufactur- ing Co.,, are considering contempt proceedings against Gov. Dom aghey, Supt. Pitcock and the members of the penitentiary board for failure to respect the injunction issued by the Chancery Court restraining the officials from taking the convicts from the Arkansas Brick & Manufac- turing Co. This brings up more discussion the main portion Of which is directed to the right of the Governor to pardon for con- tempt. Some courts have held the governor has that power, while others have decided to the con- trary, but the supreme court of Arkansas has never yet been called upon for an opinion upon the matter Gov. Jeff Davis as- founded the local bar at one time by pardoning for contempt of court and Acting Governor Pin dall likewise granted pardons for the offense during his term of office.

FARMERS UNION COTTON co.

Little Rock Jan. 1o.- At the meeting of the Warehouse As sociation and the Farmers Un- ion Cotton Company yesterday, arrangements were completed whereby the organization of the farmers of the state is made a certainty and 100000 bales of cotton which have been previous ly sold outside the stats will be sold through Little Rock.
 The new organization will be capitalized for $45O,OOO to S1,- 100000. It is for the purpose of retaining in Arkansas the thous- ands bales of cotton which pre- viously have been shipped outside of the state. The new Organiza- ton is to be called the Arkan- sas Farmers Union Cotton O., and is to be the Arkansas organ ization of a company which em- braces all the cotton raising states and will represent a cap itaEzation of something like S10,- OOO,OO0.
 With the completion of the scheme so far as Arkansas is con- cerned yesterday, the entire mum ber of southern states is repre- sented in t he organization, Texas has practically the same sort of company. Tennessee has had one for some time and simultaneous ly with the formation of the Ar kansas company the Mississippi company was organized yester- day in Jackson with a capital equal to that of the company here.
