 DANCING ALLOWED
 BY THE Y. w. C. A.

SPOKANE, Wash.-(special.) )-- Dancing is to be allowed at the Spok- ane Y. W. c. A. This moot question was definitely settled at the annual meeting of the association here. Seven new trustees were eleAted ana a majority of these are without res ervation in favor of dancing. At least six or seven of the hold-over trustees also are said to favor the of private dances for members in the "Y" gymnasium.
 One thing is certain, however, and that is that the parties will be strictly private.

HE LIVED WITH
 TWO WIVES ON
 SAME AVENUE

ROCHESTER, N. Y.-(Special.) J. "The nerve of Ralph Hartel" This city, after skimming over it's morning newspapers, virtually had that phrase on the tip of it's tongue.
 Hartel is the man, it will be re- membered by many residents of New York, who, when reputed to be K social leader and worth fortune, chose young woman of the slums of that metropolis as the girl of his heart. He and his wife moved to Rochester shortly after the "big sur prise"
 Now Hartel has outdone his first neutre by marrying again-without legal basis. But what has further shocked Rochester society is the fact that he, until a few days ago, lived with his second wife on the same street that wife number one lived on.
 HartelS first marriage took place about six months ago. Wives num- Der one and two are now suing him for divorce.

Matanuska District

ending Feb. 6, follow:
 Matanuska District
 Branch Line-There are at present nineteen grading gangs and one clear ing gang at work on the Branch L'ne. A clearing contract has been let for the section between station B 494 and B 5Sl, in the vicinity of camp 27.
 The ice over the MatanuSka river continues favorable for heavy freight ing, six or seven tons being moved at one load without difficulty. The south bound teams from the Chickaloon are hauling out the blacksmith coal which is piled up at that place. This coal is sacked by the commission forces before being loaded for distribution to the construction camps and the shops. The coal is pronounced of sc- perior quality by blacksmiths who have used it.
 Nearly all the material and supplies for the Branch Line have been moved, only some two or three hundred tons still remaining for transfer.
 Main Line-Supplies are being hauled rapidly to the various camps beyond the Little Susitna river. The snow roads are in excellent condition for carriage of heavy loads.
 During the week construction was started on a new camp at Mile 194, about midway between Little Willow creek and KaShwitpa.
 A contract has been let to Poropat & Company covering the grading De- tween Station N 627O and D. 6SS7, the only uncompleted work south of the Little SuSitna.

they are for that of those societies
which are generally recognized as aux
