Provides Evenings Free Entertain ment for Crowd at Dance
 Lasting Until 3:3O \. M.

When the Pioneers of Alaska de- termined yesterday afternoon to post pone their masquerade ball which was to have been given in Eagle Hall last night, owing to the storm which was raging, Joe Spenard of the City Express, who advertises that he nev- CT sleeps, proved the truth of his statements by immediately organiz- ing a masque ball in his store on Mckinley Street.
 The dance was free to all, and about thirty couples who braved the storm were rewarded by having a good time, which lasted until long after the New Year had been usher ed in. Refreshments were served during the evening, adding to the pleasure of the many guests of the City Express.
 The music was furnished by Geo. Reinke and Bob Webber and they were kept on the job until 3:3O this morning. The dance was given by Joe in order that the many miners who are in town for New Years Day might not be disappointed in their ex- pectations of enjoying an evenings entertainment.

 "The railroad business is looking up, mainly in the West, because of the large crops, and in the East be- cause of great industrial activity. l believe that this will continue for a long time because the people are buying heavily, especially in the steel trade, because they fear rise in prices incident to immense demands made by manufacturers of munitions of war. The conditions are gener- ally improving outside of these causes, and should continue to im- prove indefinitely"
