 The dancing started at s:30 and as there were thirty numbers on the program in addition to several lex tras" it was long after o'clock this morning before the numbers of dan |cers on the floor began to dwindle. The grand march took place It II o'clock after the ladies had distribu- ted their Fancy favors," the an- |nounoement of which had served to create great interest among the men.
 The hall had been tastefully deco rated for the occasion and as the music was just right and the refresh ments delicious the big crowd pre- cent voted the Civic Leagues leap year dance the success of the season.

SHIPPERS ARE 0N ;. THE ANXIOUS SEAT
Fears are Entertained for Safety of Liners now Approaching Dan-

PHYSICIAN RAGING
 OUT 10 GULKANA
Dr. F.. q. Dalton Left this Morning for Interior in Answer to Emer-
 gency Call from Gulkana.

A message which was received over the wire stating that Sergt. David Maxwell. operator in charge of the Signal Corps station at Gnlkana was seriously i'll, sent Artist F. w. Sheelor and Dr. B. c. Dalton out from Valdez early this forenoon on the first lap in a race with death.
 The dispatch stated that Maxwell was too sick to be brought to town, but the operator sending the message did not know the nature of his trou- ble.
 When Dr. Dalton and MT. Sheelor left town a storm was blowing but they expected that Sheelor's dog team would take them over the summit in safety and they will travel fast, as Driver Rowbottom, with the govern ment dog team Is coming in from Gulkana to relay them on the trail.
 Before leaving on the trip Dr. Dal- ton stated that if he found the patient too weak to stand the trip over the trail that he would be taken to Chit ina and brought to Valdez via Cor dova. Dr. Dalton, however, went prepared for emergencies, believing that it might be necessary to perform an operation immediately upon his arrival to save the life of his patient.
 Sergt. Maxwell came to Alaska last August. shortly after, being discharg- ed from the hospital at San Francisco where he had undergone an opera tion for stomach trouble. He had been Alaska several years ago and had been stationed at different points on the Tanana and the Yukon rivers, where Signal Corps stations were be- ing established at that time. He served five years in the Phillipines, and his long residence there is credit ed with having been the cause of his trouble.
 Dr. Dalton had recently received advices that his father was seriously ill in Pasadena, and had secured leave of absence to leave for the States on the Admiral Evans when she returns from the westward, but answer the call of duty by going to the relief of the sick man, although his own relative lay dangerously i'll.
 Gulkana is 127 miles out on the Valdez z-Fairbanks government trail.

LIGHT COMPANIES ARE CRITICISED
Members of City Council Believe that Two Companies Should Settle
 Differences at Once.

With q smoky larterr lighting the room the Valdez city council met in session last night but little business came before the meeting. Those pre- sent were Councilmen Hockey, Thom- as, Ethical, Won Gunther, and acting Mayor King in the chair. :: -.
 The lack of electric light. was the subject of severe criticisms by sever al of the councilmen. It was con- tended that the two companies which are operating under franchises granted by the city, should be com pelled to settle their differences and get together in furnishing light and power to patrons if by so doing the conditions would be improved. Var ious methods of bringing pressure on the companies were discussed but as it had been reported that the two companies were about to amalgamate their interests no official action was taken by the council.
 The report of the city treasurer showed that approximately two thou sand dollars remained in the treasury and the council decided to instruct a call for warrants tN cover the amount, excepting s25Q. One of the two hundred and fifty dollar war rants which were drawn in favor of the mayor to defray the expenses of appealing the tax cases to the Appel late court will be turned back into the treasury. ...,....
 During the discussion of the 'f1nan- cial affairs of the city the fact was disclosed that plans are under way to have the district which composes the tideflats incorporated into the municipality. Some of the council men did not appear to be aware of the fact that action had been taken although Surveyor A. c. Baldwin is expected to complete the survey to- day. Councilman Hockey explained that number of the residents on the tideflats had requested that the dis trict be included in the corpor- ate limits and that the survey was the first step necessary to be taken.
 Councilman Ethical believed that the city had no right to spend money for surveys outside the city limits ard cautioned the council against paying money from the city treasury for that purpose.

PRESIDENT WILL.
 WIN THE FIGHT
Admitted In Congressional Circles Administration can Defeat Armed
 Merchantmen Resolutions.

WASHINGTON, March Tt is reported in congressional circles that the Democratic leaders in congress are ready for the big fight which is expected to result when the resolu- tion to warn Americans off armed merchantmen of belligerent nations comes up for action. -.
 It is understood that the admin istration leaders, now that they are confident that they can defeat all such proposals, will force the resolu tious to a vote at once as they fec that until the question is settled President Wilson will be hampered in his negotiations with the Euro pean governments regarding the sub marine warfare.
 During the past two days the ad- ministration members have success fully blocked all attempts at debat- ing the resolutions in either the senate or house, while they are lin- ing up their forces. Numerous con- ferences have been held between President Wilson and Democratic members who favored Americans be- ing denied passports to travel on armed merchantmen and the senti- ment has noticeably changed in fla vor of the Presidents attitude.

GETTING UNEASY
 AT ANCHORAGE
Fears Are Entertained that Trails May Break Up Before Supplies
 Are Landed at Matanuska.

Latest advices from Anchorage, re- ceived in this mornings mail, say that labor conditions there remain unchanged but that there Is feeling of uneasiness among the workers which is beginning to manifest itself.
 In addition to the track-layers and carpenters the teamsters in the em- |ploy of the Engineering commission have struck and although they were offered v15 per month and board they refused to go back to work. Private transportation companies in Anchor age are paying $90 per month and board.
 To add to the commissions difficult ties the cable being out of commis- sion has prevented the officials from getting into communication with Chairman kdes in regard to the wage disputes. In the meantime mild weather has set in and 1t is feared that the trails will break up before supplies can be sent into the Mata- nuska section and that the work may possibly be delayed another year.

Rix,nr

Suffolk, Va. Feb. 12.--MaJor Bulls,
who mas big dairy farm on the Wal
nut Bend farm: on the Nansemond
River, has been warned by a strange
old character called the Hermit OF

food. Anderson. as the old man Ia
know, Is living in small boat high
up Sn the land, not far from the
walnut Bend farm.
Some time in the great storms OF
April, 1915, his boat was blown up on
the shore, and since that time he has
been something of a mystery TO the
feopie of that section. as he remains
for weeks on his tiny craft. aad just
how he obtains food and the neces~
slties is a matter of conjecture.
In July, 1915, he came out 20 the
place of Major Bulls and solemnly
warned him that he would he destroy

saw was coming
This flood did not materialize. Now
he is .ssuing another warning OF COM
ing foods, and advises that all the
cows at the walnut Bend farm be
