Captain Jinks favored the bas- ketball boys with a solo that was hugely enjoyed by those who were at the dance given at the Rink Monday evening. Many of those present had never had the op- portunity of hearing Chinese singing before and appreciated the vocal efforts of our Oriental merchant immensely. Captain Jinks mounted a stool where he could tower above his audience and when the series of sounds which were undoubtedly perfectly good singing in Chinese, ceased, he was given such vocifierous ap- plause that he graciously accorded his delighted listeners another song, even more elaborate than the first. Then he laughingly bowed his thanks and went back to his business.

victory without assuming a boast full attitude, it has learned val uable lesson that can be applied to any one of the games of life. Hospitality of the right sort is also learned and a feeling springs up between schools and the towns they represent that make for healthy competition.
 The Wrangell High school team were hosts to the visiting team and their manager, MT. Mitchell, the faculty, and the members of the school board, at a banquet held at the Den O Sweets after the game. Covers were laid for "A. The place cards bore an in- genious arrangement of the names that removed all formality and the occasion was a very happy one. Short talks were made by MT. Mitchell, the cap- tains of both teams. Martin Gall was and Henry Roaming. and the members of the school board. Miss Rees gave a recitation and Miss Lillian Kelly sang. Both teams gathered around the piano later and sang popular songs for a short time after which they re- paired to the hall for the dancing which had followed the game. In the talks that were given at the banquet, the best of good fellow ship and mutual regard was eX. pressed and it was hoped that some declamatory and debating contests can be arranged at some time between the schools on the channel and Wrangell. A girls basket ball game was also men, toned. Douglas has one which has played three games against Juneau, winning one of these.

A band of carol singers, pre-. ceded by a cross bearer, left the schoolhouse at 4:30 last Friday afternoon and sang Christmas carols along Front, Church and Cassiar Streets. The beautiful white cross was hung with a green wreath and had a tiny light at the top. The singers found that the people of the town had entered into the spirit of the oc- casion and had placed lighted candles in nearly all of the win dows along the line of march.
 The beautiful music of the famil- far carols rang out on the clear,
 cold air and was enjoyed by all.

Christmasy in all its appoint ments was the "At Home" given for MT. and Mrs. Santa Claus by Miss Rees and Miss Swanson last Thursday evening. The room which had been arranged for games was banked with green and Merry Christmas" in white and green lettering welcomed the guests as they entered. A beauti- full tree, lighted and glittering, occupied one room and here MT. and Mrs. Santa held court and dispensed the gifts. No one was forgotten.-not even Lucullus, a tiny kitten wearing a huge red bow in honor of the occasion. A third room contained seven tables with runners of red against which the feathery green of the cedar, the white place cards with the names in a tracery of red and green, topped by lighted candles, and the dainty refreshments pre- sented a most attractive appear ance. The room was festooned with the holiday colors from cor ner to corner, the streamers caught high above the center table where Mr. and Mrs. Santa presided over the feast. This ruddy, jovial couple was the cen ter of attraction throughout the entire evening and the shouts of laughter and the delight of the guests testified to the success of the occasion. The hours for the fifth, sixth and seventh grades were from six to eight and for the eighth and High school grades from nine to eleven.

Wrangell and Douglas Play
 Basketball

There was a gratifying interest in the basketball game between Wrangell and Douglas Monday night, the hall being packed with local enthusiasts. The maroon and white of the Wrangell team was prominently displayed by the high school pupils, and the local players were given much encouragement by their fellow students, who, led by Harold Shangle, gaily arrayed, sang and yelled and cheered whenever the occasion warranted it. The Doug las yell was not missing either. It was known that the visitors were a formidable foe with a record of many victories, and everyone was anxious to see what the Wrangell High would do in the first inter. school game ever held here.
 A preliminary game was played between two grade teams, the Wild Cats consisting of M. Lof- tus, J. Prescott, U. Kanervo, Hilts, Tucker and Worden, and the All-Stars consisting of Lee, L. Engstrom, J. Wheeler, H. Bradley and G. Case. It was a snappy game that afforded much merriment and showed that Wrangell will not run out of bas- ketball material for some time. The final score was: All Stars 10; Wild Cats 2.
 The line-up for the big game was:
 H. Gallwas F. .... F. Gunderson A. Nelson.......... F. ..... H. Ronning s. Brown........... c. --.G. Gunderson Capt Gallwas G. ....... N. Grant w. Manley .........G. ... .....-. J. Coulter A. Garn ..... Sub. ..........S. Schelp
 The Douglas team made a fine showing when they entered the hall and their strength and speed was apparent at once. The home team was cheered by their loyal friends, but there was an air of tense expectancy through the hall. The home boys made a valiant fight, but before the first half was over, it was felt that they could not win. The team work of the visitors was excep- tionally fine, and they had an uncanny way of making baskets from any angle that rolled up the score in a manner that in- sured victory. The score was 17 to 6 in the first half. Wrangell doubled their score in the second but Douglas did even better than that, and the victory stood 38 to 12. Osborn was substituted for Schelp in the last part of the second half. Ronning, the cap tain of the home boys, was not well enough to play and many felt that his absence weakened the team considerably. The Wrangell boys lost smilingly to players that have won games from better teams and showed good feeling through it all. Their opponents were fine fellows who took their victory modestly. The referees were G. c. Mitchell and Fred Lewis.
 Contests such as this are fine thing between schools, and teach lessons of good sportsmanship that cannot be learned in any other way. When a team learns to lose gamely after a clean, fair fight, or to win a

WARNING

On account of frequent blasting,
T. j. Sheffield, superintendent of
the Crystalline Lime company's op-
erations here, requests the Repub-
lican to issue warning TO the pub
lie to keep away from the vicinity
of the old lime diggings, at which
place the shooting is going on.
There is no alarm given previous
to the discharge of blasts and any,
one in that vicinity at such time
is in danger from s.ones falling
from overhead or rolling down the
hill, either of which could easily
cause casualty. Especially does
Mr. Sheffield want to ca the at
tention of the parents to this
danger, requesting them to keep
their children away from the scene
of operations. 1t is enough to say
that curious children nave already
created a necessity for this warn
ing Naturally activities such as
are going on at the lime plant
arouse interest, but the people
should wait until Sundays when
there is no danger connected with
satisfying their curiosity.

danger to the public.
Another feature Of the new plant
will be a complete plant for the
manufacture of lime fertilizer, q
product that has come to be recog-
nized in the agricultural world as
of the greatest value in crop pro-
duction. Both the University of
Idaho and the Pullman college have
tested the Orofino product and are
giving the new company every pos
sible encouragement in this depart
ment. This alone will become one
of the big features of the Orofino
plant. Lime fertilizer, it might be
interesting to know, is simply
ground lime rock, which is now
known to be essential plant food.
and absolutely necessary for the
now rapidly dwindling Palouse,
Camas and Nez Perce Prairie soils.
In order to interest capital the
promoter, Mr.. Ben L. Schultz of
Lewiston, Idaho. has had Ito show
them" He has had the Orofino de-
posits examined by some of the best
biologists in the world; has had
many of the finest lime experts in
the country look it over, and had
high class engineers survey the
mountain and estimate the volume
of this deposit. United States che
mists, after many tests, nave certi-
fled that the Orofino lime deposit
when properly calcined, is of the
highest type; that there is nc
higher grade made anywhere in tine
world" One engineer, at the con
clusion of his survey, says:
IF the company ships one train
load every "a hours it cannot ex
haust the visible supply in 49,
years"
This is based on the fact that tn
company owns 81 acres of LAND
which has been thoroughly pros
pected and the known deposit give
is 1000 feet high, 500 feet wide
and how long nobody knows, bu
enough to last for ever.
