 GIVES MASQUE BALL

CHITINA, Jan. 1-The Arctic Bro
 therhood gave a masquerade Ball or New Years Eve which was the great est social success ever held in Chitina. A number of costumes had been sent over from Valdez for the occasion, and there were about twenty five couples on the floor. Every one that masked had a splendid time, and those that thought they were too nice to mask, re. solved that they would not bother be- ing nice when the next A. E. masaue- rade was held. When the order was given 10 unmask there were a great many surprises for the audience. who had guessed correctly in some cases and missed their guesses in many others. The prize for the best dress ed lady was awarded to Mrs. Nafsted of Tonsina, and the prize for the best sus aimed character was taken by Mrs. Peterson of Kinney Lake, who was dressed as the Girl of the Golden West. The most comical character was MT o. A. Nelson, who appeared as Happy Hooligan.
 Chester Hull made hit as a very dignifed gentleman in evening dress and the people had a real surprise when the we'll shaped lady that he had guarded carefully all evening turned out to be Johnnie Nelson. Charlie O'Connor escaped the doorkeeper who was collecting from all males by his perfect disguise as a suffragette Jack Courtney as a Spanish Cavalier came in for lots of admiration, and Mrs. Butler as a Spanish Girl made quite a hit. Mrs. William Tibbs as Colum- bia almost took the prize for the best sustained character and Mrs. Tom Cloninger as the Ace of Spades had plenty of admirers. The clowns were too numerous to mention but all help ed to make the affair n great success, and one of them was suspected of be- ing real fresh when he wanted to rag a little with his own wife. At twelve o'clock Charlie spangler signi- fled that the New Year had arrived by turning the whistle loose on the locomotive, and good wishes for the New Year were general The dance broke up about one o'clock, and every one seemed to be of the opinion that the New Year which promises to be q notable one for Chitina, had been ushered in more auspiciously than any in the history of the town.

STEEL COMPANY HAS
 B|G EXHIBIT AT FAIR

The largest single exhibit at the Panama Pacific International Exposi- ton is that of the United States Steel Corporation, whose hundreds of york men have been working full blast in the Palace of Mines. This great cor poration has secured an exhibit space of 42,00O feet in the building and 1t voted an appropriation of Sl5o,0lJ for its participation in the exposition. The exhibit will include huge models of mines where the ore is obtained, of docks and smelters, and of means of transportation. There will also be an extensive display of iron and steel pro ducts, telling their complete history from the time the ore is extracted from the mines until the article is ready for final distribution. The same progress of steel and iron will be given animate expression in a giant film, 10000 feet lons-probably the longest film that was ever made.
 There is also attached to the ex- hibit lucid demonstration of how the deals with the social aud economic aspects of its large lalor forces; how it's employees are housed. with special attention, such ps med ical service is given them, etc, and what safety devices are employed 10 protect them while at work.
