EVERYBODY IS GOING
 TO TREATMENTS DANCE

To those who have attended the dances given by the Cordova Fire De- partment in former years little need be said regarding the enjoyableness afforded by these annual events, for the department has gained an enviable record in this respect. This years dance, to be given in Eagle Hall on New Years Eve will maintain the high standard set by former affairs, and, in fact, every effort is being put forth and no expense spared to surpass them. A committee of six has been busy for several weeks preparing for the event. The hall has been hand somely decorated along the lines of last years decorations, with some eff fective innovations. The programs, which will be given to each lady at tending, are something out of the or dinary, and will make an attractive souvenir. In keeping with the rest of the arrangements, the music will be of the best, Clayson's orchestra of six pieces having been engaged. Promptly at midnight confetti and horns will be distributed that all may give a fitting salute to the New Year.
 Last, but not least, refreshments will be served, such as will meet with the approval of the most fastidious.
 Already a large number of tickets have been sold, but there is still few more that may be had. Have you got yours? Everybody is going and you better join the crowd.

{. FIND GOAL IN . THE RUBY DISTRICT

What appears to be an excellent quality of coal was recently uncover ed on Poorman creek. in the Ruby dis triet, at the bottom of prospect hole. There is some difference of opinion as to he quality of the fuel, some pro nouncng it to he antracite and others Ignite. The coal is described as being hard and bright, and when tried in a g ove, gave very little satisfactory re- suits. George Bettle, the discoverer. wac sinking on the claim for the pay streak, and obtained very unsatisfac. tory results from the point of view of the gold miner His find, however, may prove a valuable one.

SAYS HE HAS NUT DECIDED LIN ROUTES FUR
 ALASKAN RAILROADS

SEATTLE, Dec. 30-Ashmun Brown, Washing ton correspondent of the Seattle Post ntcligenccr, in a communication to that paper, published today, says that neither President Wilson nor Secretary Lane made any decision either on the routes of the government railroads in Alaska, nor where the term inals will be.
 President Wilson informed the correspondent that he had not given any thought to these points other questions in connection with the railroad and waiting for a report of the Alaska Engineering Commission before doing so

SETTLEMENT OF DIFFERENCES HINGES IN ACTION IF THE
 BORDER NATIONS

LONDON, Dec. BOA frank discussion of the American note of protest against the interference of American commerce by Great Britain, by British officials shows that they regard the note as friendly, and express the belief that the differences between the United States and Great Britain can be satis- factorily adjusted.
 It is admitted, however, that the settlement of the questions involved much hinges on the effective efforts of Holland, Denmark, Norway and Sweden to prevent cargocs consigned to these countries, being trans sshipped to Germany and Austria. Until stringent regulations along these lines are enforced there is little hope held out by the British govern ment for relaxation in the matter of searching American vessels to Italy since that nation has effect lively stopped transshipments to German and Aus tra, unless t@re appears to be special reason to sus pect fraudl, ny consigments. It is suggested that the United States government guarantee the honesty of bills of l0dng and enact strict regulations pro viding for the severe punishment of fraud

RIFLES RENDERED USELESS
 SOLDIERS RESORT TO FISTS

PARIS, Dec 30-An official bulletin issued this afternoon states that the operations north of Lys have been attended with great hardshps because of the cold and stormy weather. Both sides are sui ferlng alike, and in some instances the liquid mud has gotten into the brooches of the rifles, making shooting impossible and the men have fought with the butt ends of their muskets and in some instances with their fists. As consequence the fighting all along the line has been of minor importance, neither side having made any gains

SAYS COPPER RIVER
 DISTRICT IS GOOD

l. N Nash, the well-known mining engineer, who spent some time in the vicinity of Mccarthy during the past summer and fall, says the mining out look for the Copper river valley Is very bright. according to an interview published in the Juneau Dispatch. He says:
 The mining resources of that part of the country" said he. when seen in the lobby of the Occidental hotel, "are looking better all the time.
 Mccarthy. near the end of the line, is getting to be quite a lively place. That is where the trail starts to go over the glacier to the Chisana dig gings and it is the supply point for the new placer district near the head waters of the Chitina river, besides the nearest point for the hydraulic plants which operate every summer under the direction of George Max Esterly. Howard Birch and others.
 Practically all observers agree that there is a great future for that part of the country. When the coal is opened it is expected that the cost of opera ton will be lessened and better times and a larger volume of business will naturally follow"
