'*Judge'' Soaks 'Ern
 At Firemen'S Ball

The hard times dance given by the Firemen last Saturday was one of the most successful social evenings given in Peters burg in many a moon. The af- fair. given to secure funds for additional equipment, gave q neat financial return.
 The dance announced as a hard times" affair, advised all corners that ordinary working clothes did not indicate hard times. Many 3 fine was collect ed on this score by Judge E. N. Dinner. Robert Allen was mar shall and had as chief deputy, Tryg Strom. When some of the hoInbres got too tough and were hard boiled enough for several marShalS, Gus Isaacson was sworn in and he made a mar shal that could be the envy of the territory. Almost every man in the house was arrested and made to pay fines.
 Pete Lund was the only one to land in the hoosegow; it took three marshals and two depu- ties to land John Molver before the judge; Haaken Berg broke jail and was the only one brot before the judge in the joy wag- on; MacKecknie's Scotch was up and there were hardly enough Irish to bring him before the court. After the dance was oV- CT, the jail0rs picked up an as sortment of rags (coStumes) that even an old rag man would have turned upe his nose at. The music was furnished by the Hanson Dance Orchestra: Paul Tveten, piano, Paul Cook, cornet, William Bailey, saxo- phone, Andrew Hanson, drums. The music was the best heard in . long time at any local dance.

 IJ is planned that in case of loss, fifty per cent will be ad- 5usted immediately provided there is sufficient money in the fund to cover and the balance at the end of the year, the association not being liable at any time for more than the to- Jal funds on hand. Owners of .au classes of boats are eligible for membership in the organtza- tion.

Spring Fever and
 Speedboats

Spring fever is all the same the world over though it may manifest itself in divers forms.
 The frost is much too deep to prospect for fish worms and the few mild sunny days this week have not encouraged any frogs to sing, nor brought back the robins nor set the bees hum ming, but a lot of the fellows have been tuning up their out boar dmotors and the air has been full of humming that is even more musical in some ears Some challenging additions to the mosquito fleet are to be brought out this spring. Two new seasleds of exceptionally sweet lines are being built in McKee's shop and practically ready for the water are the Sealion built and owned c. W. and M. Mckee, and the Donna B." by F. R. Ravens. Another serious contender for outbOard Lonors for 1880 is the regulation hydroplane model hull which is heinz built by Art Peterson in the Packing Company's carpen- ter shop. The hull is IS feet long by feet beam, and will be pow cred with Johnson "32."
 All these boats are beauties in type and workmanship-no less, and the old guard is looking on with fear and trembling for their laurels with the exception Of Claude Roundtree redoubtable skipper of the lizzie" who is coming out this spring with 9 5 Elto Quad and hurls defiance to all corners.

Very slight changes in the plans and arrangements of the stage and projecting room were found Ito be necessary and while no definite date for the opening is announced MT.

 As to the merits of the RIGA. Photoph0ne equipment, Mr. MacGregoI quotes from Harrison Weekly, national authority on reproducing equipment as fol- lows:
 If I owned 3 theatre and I decided to install one of the two major equipments, Western Flee tric or R. c. A. and R. c. A. Pho t0phone demanded full price '~nd Western Electric offered free installation, I would install K. c. A., as it is the best equip nent in the world.
