WHERE WILL YOU SPEND
THE WINTER?
It is getting to be about that
time vvher, as the days grow
shorter and the snow creeps
lower and lower down the hills,
a number of Alaskans decide
they cannot stand the long win
ter and hie away to the Big Out
side, airily waving their hands
and wishing a pleasant winter to
those who stay behind.
Financial embarassments and
other reasons prevent others)
from taking the trip, so they !
heave a sigh and go back to the j
cabin and study the “prospec j
tor’s bible”, and finally send to j
Sears Sawbuck for winter un- j
derwear When the cold days j
come, they fill up the stove, for
no-one stays cold in Alaska even
tho wood is $12, per. They
eat “regular” even if it is a hard j
winter for Alaska merchants arej
patient and will wait for their i
money notwithstanding the fact1
that mail order houses are their!
keenest competitors.
Meantime those who, left for
that pleasant vacation outside,
find conditions are not just as *
their fancy pictured. In the
hotels they crouch against rad
iators that never have steam en
ough for an Alaskan, to walk
on the pavement makes them
lame, the food at the restaurants j
does not taste just right and |
you have to pay extra for every
thing. Strikes are on in most of
the cities, so along about Thank
sgivirg they begin to long for
the Northland,and from then on
they retail'll.
Thats the time when the stay;
at homes get their innings. I
On the whole they had a fine j
i winter while those who went!
I i
outside for change and rest/
gave the steamship company the j
| change and Setttle got the rest.
