GET ACQUAINTED WITH YOUR NEIGHBOR PARTY A neighborhood soelnl was held at Highland Home, the resident' of Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Cunning last Friday night for the purpose of meeting the neighbors and getting letter ac quainted. A splendid entertainment was given that was a surprise to all on account of Its excellence. Mr. Cunning stated the object of the meeting was to form a "Get Ac quainted with your Neighbor Trust," as we bad uot met them, for during the summer and fall we had Ieen work-bound, and during November rain-bound, and since then snow bound, until we were in danger of being hide-bound, and that formal ity would cut no Ice, but each one must thaw out and do something to relieve the strain. That started Mrs. Wilbur, who led at the piano with "Marching Through Georgia" and "Rally Round the Flag," In which all jofued. Mrs. Edglngton read a humorous account of the training of the Ruggles' nine kids to attend a high life party. We all wanted more of It but Mrs. Edgiugton was tired after such strenuous coaching. Mr. Newman and Mr. Cronkey, with vio lin and cornet and Miss Harbison as accompanist, gave a rare treat in instrumental music that was round ly encored and another selection rendered equally pleasing. Little Miss Margie Campbell recited a re vised version of the George Wash ington cherry tree Incident that was so well done that we all lelicved the new story. Mr. Harbison then gave a thrilling account of the Halley Comet through Inspiration of the Lime Kiln Club that was side shak ing. Mr. Wilbur, with Mrs. Wilbur at the piano, sang "Bury me In the Deep Sea," but all refused as they wanted him to slug more and he responded by singing a Gipsy song. Dr. and Mrs. Edglngton, Grace and Beth, as usual captured our hearts by singing "Hear Dem Bells" and "Kitty Clyde." Agnes and Edwin Markham and Francis Llttlefleld tried ty sing nn Indian song but Ed win took the war patli and queered the show. Refreshments were then served and as the hour was late, though much of the program was omitted the party adjourned to meet again and keep the ball rolling. The next meeting of the trust Is Friday night at Mr. B. F. Shoe maker's. TONS OF ALASKA COPPER. Report of Geologist Brooke Shows Enormous Yield This Year. "The season of mining in Alaska has been a prosperous one," says Alfred U. Brooks, geologist in charge of the Alaska work of the United States geo logical surrey, who has Just returned to Washiutftou from his annual "swing around the circle" In the far north west "While dry weather and other unfavorable conditions have curtailed the placer gold production at Nome, most of the other camps have either maintained or increased their output. "Figures of gold output are not yet available, hut It seems probable that the production for 1900 will be be tween nineteen and twenty million dollars. The low price of copper has not encouraged mining of that metal but about half a dozen properties ship ped ore during 1909. It appears proba ble that the Alaska copper output for the year will exceed 4.000.000 pounds." After a short Illness the three-year old son of L. Stuck died Monday. One Light In Two Thousand Miles. For the first time the great southern coast of Alaska, more than 2,000 miles long, has this winter a lighthouse. Though one of the most dangerous and stormy coasts In the world and diffi cult of navigation, even in summer, this area has been wholly neglected until now. The first light is on Cape Illncbitibrook. at one of the entrances to Frinee William sound. There are many other places where lights and fog signals are almost as urgently needed, uotably Cape St. Ellas, where steamers are often held up for days because of fogs and a long, hidden reef. Other lights are, however, to be added next year. PLENTY OF TIME Some people have so much time that they never get anything done. They are always "just going to."
