I WHAT A CHRISTMAS HOLTOY
COSTS
We are drawing close to the time
of another visit from Santa Clause.
It is very likely that the old timer
will show up on schedule time and
make his deliveries as of old. Some
one has got down to the brass
tacks of the holiday expenditures
and gives the following figures of
the money circulation of the holi
day month. It is estimated that
America spends six billions of dol
lars. A portion of this vast sum is
made up of Christmas Trees, $100,
000,000. Jewelry, ,$165,000,000.
i Eats, $127,000,000. Clothing, $230,
000.000. Toys, $300,000,000. Holi
I dav Charities, $250,000,000. Em
i
| ployee’s gifts $250,000,000. These
are staggering sums of money.
Wonder if Christ ever had an idea
that his birthdays would mean such
a loud ring on the cash register?

NOT CALLING HERE
TheS.S. Alameda is not going to
atop at Petersburg on her north
bound trip, taking the run of the
Northwestern, according to word re
ceived December 14th. it appears
that there is so much freight for the
westward that the Alameda will
steam straight through and the Ad
miral Rogers will handle the dupli
cate freight of the North western
destined for Petersburg. The Rog
ers should, be in port Saturday. The
Northwestern, at last reports, w&3n t
doing so well. She had made con
siderable water and there is a Reel
ing that she may be unable to tfclear
the rocks she’s lying on.
TO LOCATE AT JUNEAU
It is reported that the Union Oil
Company is planning a new station
at or close to Juneau in a slhort
time. A resolution to encourage
this has already been brought up by
Juneau officials.
BACK ON THEIR JOBS
Along last August the Genieral
Manager ot' the Alaska Railroad can
ned J. J. C. Moore, Charles Ba Ush
er and J. L. Axle. A3 Noel Snilith,
the General Manager had it, the tnen
fired showed too much union acd iiv
ity. There was considerable effort
made locally for reinstateemnt, but
Smith said nothing doing. Well,
the ousted train men carried the
trouble to union headquarters in xlie
East and from there to Herbert
Work, Secretary of the Interior.
Mr. Smith—the General Manag'er—
even went to Washington, D. C. too.
In the hearing before the Secretary
of the Interior it appears that Mr.
Smith didn’t have a great deal to
stand on and the men were promptly
put back on their jobs. One gets
the idea, in looking over the trouble,
that Mr. Noel Smith is about the
same type as this fellow Tommy
Riggs who used to reside at Juneau
behind the title of Governor.

NOT A BIG HOUSE
. . The Indian reconstruction of tribal
iances, held at the Variety Theatre
last Friday night, wasn’t so well pa
tronized as the same kind of affair
a month or no back. However, ex
penses were made and that’s better
than staging an effoit and going be
hind. A great deal more pains were
taken with this carnival than with
the other. There were many more
costumes, old regalia and more de
tail to the dances. The admission
price, $1.00, was too high for these
hard times.
OUT OF THE DIRT
There is a report out that a rich
find of animony has been unearthed
on Cleveland Peninsula, not far
from Cape Comano. Val Klem is
the owner, and the strike is consid
ered, in mining circles, as important.
THE UNIVERS FOUND, BUT
WRECKED
The motorship Univers, reported
missing hv last week’s issue of THe
ALASKAN, has been found by the
S. S. Starr on Chirkoff Island and
the vessel is a total loss. But the
crews and others on board her are
safe and the Starr brought them in
to Kodiak.
FRAUD ORDER
