A Real Comforter
Almost any kind of pain can be quickly relieved by means
of hot appliances, yet many people employ less effective
methods such as liniments, plasters, etc., on account of
the trouble and mess incidental to the use of hot water.
The G-E Electric
Heating Pad
saves all this trouble. It is ready for use in an instant,
and will furnish you with the necessary heat continuously,
day and night, without causing the least bit of bother.
The Domestic Size makes an excellent Electrical
Christmas Gift. Come in and see how nicely it works.

BIG MOOSE DANCE
t
Have Had Moon Hall Completely
Renovated—Promise Fine Eat*
at Midnight.
As a preliminary to the holidays
the ladies of the Moose have taken
possession of the Moose hall to give
a rousing good time to all their
friends this evening.
Woman-like, tl^y marshaled all
their forces, each with broom and mop,
and since last Monday have been very
busy cleaning and scouring—Mot a de
tail has been missed—so that how the
entire hall and club room shine like
a pocketpiece.
As to the eats on this occasion;
well, the ladies are keeping that sec
ret to themselves, and evidently in
tend to spring a surprise. It will no
doubt be something extra, as they
have been untiring in their efforts.
The Valdes orchestra will furnish the
music tonight. That a large attend
ance is expected is evident from the
number of tables provided both for
cards and good cheer.
Mrs. William Morton, Mrs. E. G.
Ames ,and Mrs. Fred. Butlterworth
compose the committee in charge of
the dance.
JOB TOO BIG
FOR BURNSIDE
Cableship Has Been at Break Since
Tuesday, But Are Unable to
Mend the Cable.
*
Master Electrician Stocker, of the
local cable office, remained up until
3 a. m. this morning, hoping to re
ceive word from the Burnside that
they were about to make the last
splice In the broken cable, but—he
was disappointed.
By wireless the ship had informed
the local cable off'ce that they had
picked up the Sitka end and had made
the splice at that end, but were un
able, in the darkness, and because of
a blinding snow storm to locate the
buoy, to which had been fastened tbe
Valdez end of the cable.
No word has been received today
from the ship and l is believed that
the storm is so bad that they have
b en forced t let go of the S'tka
end and are riding out the blow, and
will wait for a calmer sea before the
break can be mended.
The matinee given this afternoon
by Mr. and Mrs. Erickson, the "new
lyweds, was a treat to the children
who crowde dthe Orpheum. Manager
Pinkus arranged for a swell program
and the “kids” desire some Valdez
people to get married next week so
that they can have another treat.

For $6.0tt we will give you a ticket

If your neighbor is more prosperous
than you, let him prosper. Don’t
grunt, growl, grumble. Say a good
word for him and let it go at that.
Don’t be a knocker. Your turn will
come. If you see that the town is

feeling sore because some fellow has
a little more sand and sense than
j you have. Do a little hustling your- ;
