CHRISTMAS IN SIGHT
Christmas, the greatest festival of
the year, is drawing near. This year
it will be one of the most notable in
Christendom. It will be one of par
ticular significance to many on this
continent.
Siftce last year the armies which
went from this side of the world across
seas in the great war have returned.
Hundreds of thousands who were not
privileged to be at home last year,
even though the armistice was signed,
now are back and about the old fire
sides. Many boys returning brought
new partners in life and have estab
lished new homes in the land. Count
less reunions have taken place, and
for the first time in years will many a
family circle again be complete in
the season of good cheer.
The Far North is not without rea
son for celebrating Christmas this year
in right royal fashion. Christmas has
a peculiar glamor in this region that
it does not possess elsewhere. In few
communities are the people more
closely thrown together. Their de
sire to see that everyone of the com
munity is happy on that great day is
proverbial and most laudable.
Northerners also are not forgetful
of those far away who are near and
dear to them. Many a remembrance
is going out in the -mails these days
for places overseas. Many others will
go to the far corners of this continent
and many to midland sections and the
coast.

Fairbanks papers now report that
a grouse walked into a hardware store
there. This is a sign of deep snow
and a heavy crust. The grouse un
doubtedly came into the store to get
a tin bill. Hyder Miner.
Seattle papers claim dealers in
that city are mixing storage eggs
with fresh eggs in an effort to fool,
the public. We believe the above to
be a deliberate falsehood. We have
never found a fresh egg in a ship
ment yet.—Valdez Miner.
Many people here will be asked to
join an organization soon that is
called “Amqricans.V The organizaf
tion is just what its name signifies—
nothing more nor less. Sign up when
the membership roll comes around.
Your American citizenship is the
greatest thing in your possession.
Don’t be ashamed of it.—Douglas
News.
And when you are tninKing ul mak
ing a trip to the states, just remember
that war time restrictions are now
on regarding the use of coal. These
means that the theatres mentioned
in the dispatches will be closed many
industries will also be closed for the
duration of the strike, and here in
Alaska everything is going the same
old way, you eat regular, attend the
theatre, and everything.-Seward
Gateway.
It is high time that some organ
ied effort were made to rid the town
of rats. Every building in the city is
swarming with the pests. The loss
to the business houses and others by
their destructiveness must run into
an unusual figure. We have no data
at hand relative to the loss and can
only judge by our own experience.
Aside from the monetary loss the pub
lic health must be considered. These
rodents are carriers of disease germs
and sonner or later we may have a
cause to regret that we have made
no attempt to exterminate the pests,
and sooner or later we may have a
with excellent results and are now' al
most free from the loss and menace
to the public health occasioned by
the presence of the rodents. Can we
not follow their example?—Ketchikan
Times.
