Fur garments made and repaired
at the Nome Tailoring Co.
It is quite possible that Thomas
Gaffney may make an official trip to
remoter points after the holidays.
The Rcof Garden distributed the
programs of the big event through
out the town yesterday. It will be
fully as excellent as in former years.
The committee on the Miners
Smoker in the Union Hall is getting
down to hard work to make this an
nual event the big success that
standardized it in former years.
Patronize the Nome Tailoring Co. i
Why? Because they do the best |
work, and- are the only pioneer
tailors in Nome.
Horn and Brown are starting to
sink their second shaft on the X
Y Z claim west of the pumping
plant. This is the same cairn which
was worked last winter by Morris
and Horn with satisfactory result.

King brothers on the Second
beach had supplies hauled out by
Kent on Monday. Fuel and other
material to continue operations on
an extensive scale formed the
freighter’s cargo.
Bartley and partner who are min
ing on Sunset arrived in town
yesterday. They are down about
65 feet in their shaft and will re
turn after the holidays with addi
tional supplies to continue their
work.

The paystreak is reported to have
been picked up by Warsing and
Alvich on the Diamond L. but of
what richness or extent is not
known. The partners are at present
timbering the shaft and sinking a
new one further south.
CHRISTMAS SHOPPERS
will especially oblige us, if they will
do their shopping early this week
avoid the rush, and give everybody
a chance to go to the P.ig Thing,
Saturday night.
ROOF GARDEN COMMITTEE
The various stores are vying with
one another in offering inducements
to shoppers. The latest to ioin in
the rush for trade Is Kristane
brothers who have slashed twenty
five per cent discount off their toys
in order to make quicker returns
and larger sales. Kristane expects
to see his Emporium blocked to the
doors today with the shoppers try
ing to get their Xmas goods at the
reduced prices.
, The Carnival subscription com
mittee has divided the city into
zones and has appointed sub com
mittees to look after each particular
zone. In this method of raising
funds, it is expected to eliminate all
expenses, and to get just as much
money as might otherwise be raised,
so that it would be all clear.

Fortunately for all concerned the
cable is again working in good
shape, although whether it was the
Burnside or the elements which re
paired it, it is impossible to say. As
a big excess of work .starts up
about this time, the fact that the
cable is in working order becomes,
a great convenience to all con
cerned.

Clothing cleaned, pressed, altered

Co., Next door to Segerstrom and
llagen’s.
Today is the shortest day of the
year, for at 4:59 p. m. the sun
reaches its farthest point south of
the equator. 2:5 degrees 27 minutes
south, and from that time the days
will commence to gain in length.
Very little difference can be no
ticed for some time, and in 10 days
or by Jan. 1, the gain is only 17
minutes. Today the sun rises at '
9:59:34 and sets at 2:00:23, mak
ing the interval from sunrise to sun
set 4 hours 49 seconds. At noon
the sun is only 2 deg. 20 min. above
the horizon and its direction at time
of rising nearly S. S. E. and at time
of setting S. S. W.
The apparent movement of the
sun from north to south and vie?
versa during the year is due to the
fact that the axis of the earth is not
perpendicular to the plane of the
orbit, but is inclined at an angle of
€6 1-2 degrees. Since the earth’s
rotation is always parallel to itself,
the poles of- the earth lean alternate
ly towards and away from the sun.
and at the Winter Solstice the north
pole is leaning away to the great
est extent. This inclination is the
cause of the changing seasons, since
the amount and intensity ot the sun
light is determined as much by the
changing height of the sun as by
the duration of daylight.
From the remotest ages it was
customary for the northern peoples
of Europe to celebrate the advent ot
the Winter Solstice. Our primitive
forefathers deified the sun and be
lieved that it was born at midwinter,
attained its full growth and strength
at the summer solstice, and declined
into old age during the fall to be
reborn at the winter solstice, and
this was the occasion of the great
est festival of the year. In the Fifth
century the church adopted the old
festival as the birthday of Christ, 1
thus changing the old heathen festi- j
vals, such as the Roman Saturnalia, :
the Scandinavian Yule, etc., into a j
church celebration. J. A. W.
