Early Closing.
The clerks in the various stores
about town work from 7 a. m. to D
p. m., with an hour off for dinner
and the same for supper. AH the
stores are now extremely busy get
ting np outfits, and will continue
so till probably the middle of next
month. During the busy season
the clerks, who are nearly all mar
ried men, are perfectly contented
to work early and late, but with a
commendable desire to be with
their families in the evening, they
are now circulating a petition ask-,
ing their employers to close at 7
p. in. with no allowance of time for
supper, the same to go into effect
after the 15th of March.
All the storekeepers have con
sented with hut one exception; he
has, however, taken the matter ut>
for consideration, and being an up
to date business man will more
than likely agree when he learns
that all the rest are earnest in their
intention to close at 7 p. m.
Leap Tear Dance.
The leap year dance last night
was a very successful affair. It
was conducted in the conventional
leap year style, the men decorating
the scats until asked to dance, and
the ladies rushing around to secure
partners for each numher. If a
man wanted to smoke he was oblig
ed to ask tobe escorted to the dress
ing room, and even there he was
not safe, for the ladies wonld in
trude even in this sacred spot and
drag their victims upon the floor.
Favors were given by the fair ones
to each partner,until the men were
loaded down with souvenirs of the
occasion. The most popular feat
ures of the evening were the cosy
corners, which were artistic and
comfortable, and though the men
of Valdez are not accustomed to
such luxuries, they soon learned
how to use them.
A dainty lunch was served at
midnight by the ladies, and at three
o'clock the first leap year party in
the history of Valdez broke up.
