Mr. and Mrs. Dave Stranberg were
visitors in Flat Sunday last.
FeteJensen thinks he has pay at the
mouth of Fox gulch. He was nearly to
bedrock and the ground was panning
fine when he was drowned out. He ex
pects to have three holes to bedrock
very shortly, when he will know ex
actly what the ground is worth.
Mrs. Ai Thorns has been visiting
Mrs. Ed Rusk at Iditarod.
Postmaster Jim Fullerton, of Dike

Mr. and Mrs. Bennett James are ex
pected back from Moore creek in a
couple of weeks.

fine. The baby is a fine healthy child,
and growing at a marvelous rate.

Iditarod last Thursday.

Saturday for Cripple.

from Cripple recently with R. G. Shaw,
returned to that place Sunday.

senting ground on Willow creek, vis
ited Iditarod Monday.

returned from the Ditna last week.
Margraff’s eyes failed him on his re
turn, and he has been in pain ever
since. Gardner is doing his best to
care for him while he is helpless. Mar
graff got a piece of steel in his eye
about a year ago.
J. E. Riley has put in steam pipes
under the ice of Otter creek in the vi
cinity of Discovery, and hopes thereby
to keep the stream open and prevent it
from overflowing and glaeiering. If
glaciers are allowed to form the water
would probably flow into the cuts when
be spring thaw sets in. So far the
scheme has proved very successful.
Mr. and Mrs. Grant., of Flat City, and
Mrs. Gill and little daughter Cecilia,

KENNEL CLUB MASQUERADE I
WILL BE RECORD BREAKER:
The second annual mask ball to be given under the auspices!
of the Iditarod Kennel Club will take place at A. B. Hall, this city, !
next Tuesday night (New Year’s eve), and the great reputation ;
earned by the club as a provider of entertainment will be sufficient'
to insure a large attendance. Already many ladies and gentlemen
from the creeks are making arrangements to visit Iditarod for the I
dance and it will be necessary to provide special conveyances to
bring them in.
For more than a week past (in fact before the intention to
hold the masquerade had been officially announced), ladies have
been preparing their costumes, and some striking and original
characters are likely to result- The music provided for the dancers
will be of the highest class—all the talent of the district promising
to lend their assistance for the great occasion. The floor is in ex
cellent condition; while the refreshments to be provided will be
prepared by experts, and will be found potent and satisfying.
During the evening fireworks will be displayed in front of the hall.
Everybody is cordially invited and expected to be on hand.
The charge for admission for gentlemen has been fixed at the low
figure of $:>; ladies, of course, are admitted free
Following are the committees in charge of the arrangements:
Floor—John F. Baird, and a corps of assistants to be selected
by him. Refreshments and Music—George Marsh, Ramps Peter
son, Jack Frick, E. M. Stanton, H. A. Weir, A. A. Shonbeck and
Nels Glantz. Advertising—Sam Bayles, H. A. Weir and G. M. Ar
buckle.
MRS. A. W. HEIMBURGER
PASSES AWAY AT RUBY
Word reached Iditarod from Ruby
on the last mail to the effect that Mrs.
A. W. Heimburger died at that place
recently. Reward Baggerly wrote the
letter conveying the sad intelligence,
but gave no details—his letter assum
ing that Iditarod people had already
heard of the lady's demise. The funeral
took place at Ruby, but the body will
be sent Outside in the spring.
Mrs. Heimburger was one of the old
timers of the North, having gone into
Dawson during the first days of the
Klondike rush. Mr. and Mrs. Heim
burger arrived in Iditarod in 1910, and
conducted a boarding house in what is
»ow the hospital building. Since leav
ing they have resided at Ruby.
Chris Antlionieson, manager for J. L.
Sale, has been very busy the past few
weeks on souvenir jewelry for Christ
mas and New Year presents. Many of
the goods produced mark a very high
standard of workmanship, and would be
a credit to any establishment.
Admiral Dewey was 70 years old
this week.

CHRISTMAS DANCE
LAR ' ATTENDED
The Christmas dance given at A. B
Hall, Flat City, under the auspices of
Camp Flat No. 26, A. B., was a great
success. In spite of the excessively
cold weather which prevailed, the at
tendance was considerably over the
hundred mark, and a most enjoyable
evening was spent.
The music was of a high order, being
supplied by Mrs. Bishop and Messrs.
Kean, Bain and Lowrie. The hall was
nicely decorated for the occasion, and
the refreshments served were much
praised.
Ashby Bain and Ed Labelle, of the
A. B. entertainment committee, had
charge of the arrangements.
During the evening a little excite
ment was caused by a cry of fire, and a
stampede for the door started; but il
was soon learned that the alarm had
been turned in on account of a small
blaze on upper Gold street, and the ex
citement speedily subsided.

CHRISTMAS DINNER
AT PETERSON HOME
Christmas night Mrs. J. A. Peterson
entertained a number oi friends at an
elaborate dinner of eight courses. The
residence bad been beautifully deco
rated for the occasion, and being illum
inated with many candles, presented a
scene like Fairyland. The dining table
was especially attractive, there being
a miniature Christmas tree in the cen
ter, and candles at every plate, and the
guests heartily enjoyed the good things
provided by the hostess.
Dinner over, a set of curtains were
drawn aside and a large Christmas
tree, brightly illuminated, and fairly
loaded with beautiful presents was dis
played. Every guest was the recipient
of a memento of the occasion, while
the jollity was increased by the distri
bution from the tree of a number of
mechanical toys. After tea had been
served the company played bridge until
2 a m., the prize winners being Mr.
and Mrs. Thurston first prize, and
Chris Anthonieson second prize.
Those present were: Mr. and Mrs.
Thurston, Mr. and Mrs. Jos. H. Smith,
Chris Anthonieson and Bert Myers.
CROWLEY & PORTER
RECEIVE REINDEER
A herd of reindeer numbering about
40 head was brought up from Holy
Cross during the week for Crowley &
Porter, the house of quality. They
came from the reindeer station at Rus
sian Mission. Some of the beasts are to
be brought over to Iditarod, but the
majority will be slaughtered at Flat
City for creek consumption.
The supply of reindeer at this time
has been much appreciated by resi
dents, as the meat forms a welcome
change from the beef and pork.
WADA LEAVES FOR BEAR CREEK
Jujuiro Wada and several Japanese
assistants got away for Bear creek,
Tuluksak, yesterday morning. They
go to make camp and generally to pre
pare for the prospecting operations
soon to commence on the ground owned
by John F. Baird, Wada and others.
Mr. Baird will follow after the new
year, and probably remain away sev
eral months.
