MORE OF THAT ONE-HORSE
 TOWN DOPE
lPost-Intelligencer]

Wrangell. which has for years had the name of belng the original one-horse town, now has a greater dignity, according to William G. Thomas, United States commits sioner at Wrangell, who is at the Frye. The town already has two horses one does the community S dray work and the other, which is attached 10 the mill, in its spare time carries the residents their wood and coal.
 So great is the prosperity of Wrangell that in the spring, Wran- gell residents aver, there will be need of a motor truck.
 ''rhe merchants of Wrangell have always discounted their own bills," said MT. Thomas Thurs day. None of them is in bad standing"
 MT. Thomas, Whose duties in- clude many of those performed by county officials in the states, came to Seattle a few weeks ago to Spend the winter. The change was far from beneficial, however, as both he and Mrs. Thomas have just recovered from the grippe.
 Although Wrangell has Its own storage plant, it will never get the entire fish business of the locality, MT. Thomas believes, as at Prince Rupert, B. C., the fishermen are enabled to unload their catch and have it put immediately into cars ard started toward the market. The salmon catch of the vicinity this year was unusually good, ac- cording to Mir. Thomas.

Farewell to Miss Grant

One of the most delightful social events of the holidays was the dance given by MT. and Mrs. J. G. Grant last evening for their daughter, Miss Margaret, who will leave tomorrow for Tacoma to resume her school work.
 Sweet music was furnished by a four piece orchestra, and every one seemed in just the right mood to enjoy dancing.
 At twelve o'clock the guests were invited to the dining room where a delightful lunch was served,
 Following the lunch there was another hour of dancing, and then the soft sweet strains of Home, Sweet Home.

ALASXA'S BEST YEAR
Mineral Production in 1916
 Over $5O,OOO,OOO

In 1916 Alaska mines made a mineral production valued at $50, 90O,O00. These are the ad- vance figures issued by the Unit ed States Geological Survey, De- partment of the Interior, and are based On estimates made by A. fred H. Brooks. The output of Alaska mines in 1915, which was greater than that of any previous year, had a value of s32, $50, 900, and the increase in 1916 was there fore over 54 per cent. It was the product of the copper mines that so greatly swelled the mineral production of, the year. This amounted to 12O, $50, GOO pounds. valued at $32, 400, 900. There was also, however, an increase in gold output, which in 1916 was ST. 050, 900 and in 1915 was $16, 700, ,- 900. Of the gold produced in 1916, $1O, $40, 900 is to be credited to the placer mines. Alaska also produced in 1916 silver, lead, tin, antimony, tungsten, petroleum, marble, gypsum, end coal to the value of $1, 3O0,00 During 32 years of mining Alaska has pro- duced $351 ,OOO, 900 in gold, silver, copper, and other minerals. Of this amount $278, 100000 repre- sents the value of the gold, and s68, 000, 900 that of the copper.

A New Year Calamity

The New Year does not always bring happiness and good cheer. Sometimes there is a notice pasted on the front door of a business house which means that it has been closed by creditors. Wrangell suffered no such business calamity, as the local merchants discount their bills. However, there is general regret over the dissolution on the last day of the year of the Canadian club. This was the only real stag organization in South eastern Alaska. And the hospi- tality of the Canadians was so gen. uine that Americans always felt welcome at the Canadian Club.
 Recently there has been a gen. eral exodus of the members of the club. At a monthly business meeting held on Christmas eve it was found that only six active members remained, and as three of these were soon to leave Wrangell, it was decided that the club should give up its Quarters on the first of the year and be dis Solved.
 The new year has made its ad- vent. The Canadian club is no more, and its officers who did so much for the promotion of good fellowship have gone to new dig gings. Harry Eastman, who was the president, and Wm Ryan, who was the Vice president, left this week for the Atlin district, where they will pan the yellow stuff dur ing the coming season. Wm. Reade, the ship builder, who was the secretary, is now enjoying the bright lights in Seattle.
 The Canadian club was deserv- edly popular and will be greatly missed in Wrangell.

Natives Have a Great
 New Years Parade

The masked parade of the Sis ters and Brothers on Front Street last Saturday evening was wit messed by almost every one in town.
 Following the parade some ex- hibitions of Native dancing were given at the Sisters and Brothers hall, and were we'll attended, es- pecially by the white people. The hall would not accomodate half of those who desired admit tance.

BOAT FOR TRAFFIC
 ON THE STIKINE,

Some good news for Wrangell is that Capt. Sid Harrington is having another boat built for traffic on the Stikine and Iskoot rivers. The new boat will be of the same power as the Hazel B. No. 2, but will be lighter, narrow CT and ten feet shorter.
 Capt. Barrington's years of ex- perience in operating steamers on the Yukon makes him es- pecially competent to anticipate the requirements for navigation on the Stikine and Iskoot rivers. The boat which is now being constructed will have a big ad- vantage over any boat that has ever gone up the Stikine river in that it can be operated earlier and later in the season than has heretofore been possible. It can also be operated in safety when the water is low.
 It is highly probable that the building of this new boat has more significance than appears on the surface. The announce ment is made that the new boat is primarily for operation on the Iskoot. There is group of rich mining claims on the Iskoot, and the natural inference is that these claims are going to be op- ened up, and that Capt. Barring ton has already had guarantee of a sufficient tonnage to justify the building of a new boat. It is also rumored that Capt. Bar rington is himself interested in some of these claims.
 The opening up of the country along the Iskoot will mean more business for Wrangel.

lassie of the Highlands. Her ex- hibitions of the Highland Fling were loudly applauded.
 The usual number of clowns were in evidence and of course did their stunts in a ludicrous manner.
 Jason Mckinney and Miss Lil- lian Barron, as coon couple, went through performances that would have done credit to a vaude- vile stage.
 The bathrobe brigade had a warm time.
 Jerry Nelson. as a girl, looked so feminine that his ma.culinity was not suspected.
 The Wrangell Sentinel was ably represented by Oscar Wickstrom and Mrs. Dave Lewis. They each wore costumes made of Wrangell Sentinels of the New Years edi- tion. The Sentinel makes no charge for the extra advertising the local merchants received when their ads were being read on the costumes of these two maskers.
 The disguise of Mrs. Fred Leonard, as the ragged woman, was so complete that one could al- most imagine that she had been borrowed from a circus.
 Miss Ostmo, in hunting costume, looked as romantic as the girl of the golden west who lived in the heart of a Swede and paid no rent.
 Neil Grant and Miss Edna Lind man were youthful pair of twin clowns, and were a circus within themselves. During the evening some one was heard to remark that Buster is a chip off the old block. It's just the other way. He is a block off the old chip.
 Miss Mary Louise Bihler. Miss Loretta Mcdonald and Mrs. J. G. Grant were three little schosl girls with their hair dangling down their backs. School books under their arms helped to make the repre- sentation complete.
 There were 76 persons masked, and therefore space will not permit us to mention them all, but all were good. There was scarcely a masked person in the hall whose costume did not deserve Special mention.
 During the evening the mayor made a few remarks which brought forth a vociterous applause. He merely announced that the school board had decided to make the next day holiday.
 At IT o'clock the prizes were awarded. Each masker had num- Der pinned on his back, and the prizes were awarded by number. The judges were Mrs. R. l.. Cole of Klawock, Harry Gartley and C.

LARGEST ATTENDED
 AFFAIR OF SEASON
Many Characters-Gay Dancers and Cor
 geouS Costumes

beginning in Wrangell. The masquerade ball on the evening of Monday, January I, 1917. was an event that will be talked about for months to come. It had been we'll advertised and everyone expected great time, but when the actual event took place it far exceeded all expect ations. To give an adequate de- scription of the affair would require all the blank space in half dozen newspapers, and would tax the de- scriptive powers of writer famil- far with every adjective in the Eng lish language.
 Lively music was furnished by four piece orchestra.
 Some of the Characters.
 Ed La Bounty, as Charlie Chap lin, was splendid imitation of the million dollar fun maker.
 A pretty costume was worn by Miss McMurry, who represented a fairy in pink.
 Miss Rosalie DaSilva, as an h. dian maiden, sustained the part unusually we'll.
 w. H. Warren represented a scarecrow, and so we'll did he carry out the part that many supposed that the scarecrow was an inani- mate form. This was a most diff cult character to Sustain, as it was necessary for the masker to stand motionless for more than two hours.
 Louis Olsen. as Napoleon, looked as if he was dressed for court. It was an easy matter for the judges to decide upon Louis as the one entitled to the first prize for the most gorgeous costume.
 One of the greatest surprises of the unmasking was when the iden- tity ot Mrs. George LaBounty was revealed. She was dressed as a little girl and no one thought of her as being anything but child.
 A beautiful costume was worn by Mrs. W. H. Warren, who rep resented a butterfly.
 Dr. Emery looked like the orig inal of the illustration used in ad. vertising Omar cigarettes.
 Probably the most conspicuous masker present was Harold Duggan, representing a cannibal of the South Sea Islands.
 Mrs. w. J. Pigg was surely en- titled to the first prize for the most gorgeous costume. In the role of of the sultan's favorite she caused one to recall the story of Allie, the Eastern charmer who alone held her lords affections after all the other pretty favorltes had been discarded and silently beheaded.
 The Indian Chief was charac- ter we'll sustained by Louis Wigg. His costume was the real thing, and his exhibitions of dancing attracted much attention.
 Miss Margaret Grant covered herself with glory as a Scotch
