F. C. Zickwolff, deputy nations
director for the Loyal Order o:
Moose, returned to Xenana Thurs
d*v afternoon after completing hi
tear of inspection of the Tofty an,
Ts-r.ana looses. Mr. Zickwolff re
ports the lodges L1 he in fine condi
lion, bvtfc financially - otherwise
Things are in very good e'hape a
Tanaua. he says, the usual situ1'
population was considerably depleted
by the fall exodus ar.d everyone
there is working, in fact a shortage
of labor prevails a: the present time.
At Woodchopper the miners are ail
working steadily. Shortage of snow
for mining purposes somewhat hamp
ers the operations, but they eypec:
a big camp in the spring. Jaeger,
son is sinking a new working shat'
and Bock will start up as soon a:
the snow goes. At Gold Basin ther
is quite a little activity, but the
shortage of snow is prevalent there
also. Mr. Zickwolff followed the
mail route from Gibbon to Camp
bell's and the river from there tc
Xenana. *

WEATHER DELAYS
RAILROAD WORK
Owing to the prevailing cold snap,
work on the railroad south of town
has been very considerably retarded,
practically no work having been done
at any of the camps along the line
since the 27th of November. A
few of the contractors at Residency
Four, viz Red Repp- £ Co.. Geo.
Gotto 4 Co., and Billy Bitoff & Co.,
who are anxious to finish and come
to town before Christmas, braved
the weather and tried to do some
work, but Jack Frost got the best
of them and they had to desist.
The first load of construction ma
terial. supplies and messhouse stores
consigned to the camps along the
line, to be sent out since the 27th.
'left camp 10 on the afternoon of
the 6th. the teams going as far as
camp 9 (20 mile) only. These sup
plies will be distributed from camp
9 as soon as the weather moderates
sufficiently to make teaming safe.
Work on flood protection in the
neighborhood of Lost slough was
resumed on the 7th. 350 feet of the
wing dam still remain to be com
pleted. and the work will be con
tinued vigorously until finished, pro
vided cold weather does not again
interfere. Across Lost slough there
remains only a stretch of 450 feet
over which piles will be driven to
complete the projected 1300 foot
trestle, and work on this trestle was
also resumed on the 7th. Steel has :
now been laid for a distance of
about 2 4* miles beyond bridge 15
(Clear creek i towards bridge 19
t Lost slough) and when this has
been crossed the construction of the
railroad toward Residency 3 (35- ,
mile) will be a comparatively easy ,
matter, as the grade has already
been prepared and ties distributed in
readiness for the laying of steel.
Fuel stations have been estab
lished at various points along the
. line from Ner.ar.a to the crossing
at 43 mile to insure a supply of
fuel for the locomotives later on;
and the water tank and pumping
station at Clear creek has also been
completed.
Neal Van Houten £ Co., who had
a contract to mine coal at the head
of Moose creek, tor the use of the
locomotives, have ceasej operations
in this locality as they eeaid not ■
| find the coal there. They have
moved to Lignite, where a plentiful
j supply could be easily obtained and
expect to commence hauling the coa.
to Residency 4 (43 mile* in a few
days.
Camp IS. situated on the wagon
road about 37 miles from town. Has
been abandoned temporarily, tr-.
men and horses working there at
present will bo transferred o
camps where they can be used to
advantage. Bud Sohm, timekeeper
at camp 1, will remain there and
iook after the camp property until
| it is reopened.

The Basket Social held at Grace

success, both from t social and a
financial standpoint.
The hall was packed when the

costume of their calling, finally cul
minating the reverie with the ap
pearance of his bride-to-be. Several '
specialties were very pteasmly rend
ered, among them songs by Miss
lane Anderson and Spanish dances
py Miss Valentine Anderson. Mike
Meager proved himselr versa
tile and Cass Williams, in the role
?f a bathing girl, had to reappear
cn the scene in response to the re
peated applause.
Following the entertainment the
>askets were auctioned off by G. F.
framer. and went fast, some bnng
ng as high as $25. Altogether
5406.50 was realized from the 55
paskets sold, averaging $7.40 per
pasket. The baskets were then open
ed and everyone was kept busy en
joying the tasty lunches which the
paskets contained, the social finally
breaking up at 11:30 o'clock.
