ALASKAN CELEBRATING
The strenuous effort put forth in
the past campaign taxed the energy
of the force on the Alaskan and the
equipment. The reaction after the
victory was the machinery in our
plant wanting a holiday to celebrate
with others. However as in most
after election celebrations the time
taken from actual labor was a lit
tle more than expected and a little
more than would permit of our pub
lishing on time. In view of these
facts we ask our readers to bear
with us. Only unavoidable delays
pi'event our appearance on the
Street at the usual time.
