The Christmas dance given by Doug las Aerie, No. ll7, P. O. D., was good, old fashioned affair, and a credit to the organization. The floor was crowded, and young folks bumped elbows with pa and una, enjoying once more the spirit of a good friendly dance. It is encouraging to realize that the old mining camp spirit is not dead in Douglas.
 Tonight the Lyric theatre will show the most fantastic, the wierdest and the most enthralliug story ever told in motion pictures. "Ziugo" is the title of the feature film in four parts and the entire play lives up to the name. Ziugo is baby who is sole survivor of a shipwreck, and who is cared for by monkeys. He is rescued by passing ship after a period of twenty years spent among monkeys, and the story deals with his experiences among the crew of the ship. The situation and escapades shown on the screen are so impossible that no one will take them seriously, but the pictures will provide an evenings entertainment of a very pleasing character. The show will close with a splendid Imp comedy.
 Douglas passed pleasant Christmas, but not quiet one by any means. There were several cases of overindul- qence in turkey and oyster dressin' re ported, but the victims were very quiet the rest of the day Almost every father made a short pilgrimage to the spruce groves and brought home a Christmas tree which the mother dec o,ated with glittering ornaments, can dies and toys for tbe- children. Little boys with drums and tin whistles sounding, paraded the streets in sol dier style, after the manner of tbe Treadwell Club band Young meu showered presents upon their sweet hearts, husbands remembered their wives likewise, and the old man was made happy by a new pair of socks. The sun shone brightly on the noun tain tops, and the day was a perfect lesson of "Peace on Earth, Good Will to Men,"

Dry Strait Channel

The town of Wrangen is rejoicing be- cause of the success of it's pet scheme to open up Dry strait. The Sentinel says:
 In a telegram received by Mr. E Matheson last Saturday came the glad news from Delegate Wickersham that the Dry Strait item, which appropriates s25.OOO for a survey and report of the Dry Strait canal, has been included in the appropriation bill, which was taken before the House last Friday.
 The telegram reads as follows: "F Matheson, Chamber of Commerce, Wrangen, Alaska. Dry Strait survey item included in appropriation bill yesterday. Sure to pass. James Wick ersham, Delegate from Alaska"
 What this will mean for Wrangell is something that every citizen of the town knows. It will mean that the government will take hold of this prop. osition and it is assured that it will be carried through, and before many years the vessels that are now forced to either go through Wrangell Narrows or take to the outside will have a safe and easy waterway besides making the distance much shorter between Wran- gell and Juneau.
 Things are coming our way; let us all get in and help boost and be ready for the days of prosperity that are coming to Wraugell.

Later that night he wrote a few

Breed. the factor, confided two i'm
portant bits OF information to him
while he was thawing out before the
big box-stove in the company's de-
serted and supply stripped store. The
first was that certain Colonel Beck

Ill, on Hudson's Bay, to make visit
at Lac Balm; the second, that Buck
Nome had gone westward a week be-
fore and had not returned Breed
was worried, not over Nome's pro-
longed absence, but over the antici-
pated arrival Of the other two. Ac-
cording to the letter which had come
to him from the Churchill factor,
Colonel Becker and his wife had
come over on the last supply ship
from London, and the colonel was a
high official in the company's ser
vice. Also. he was an old gentleman.
Ostensibly he had no business at Lac
Balm, but was merely on a vacation,
and wished to see a bit of real life in
the wilderness.
Breeds grizzled face was miserable.
