MIDNIGHT SUN FESTIVAL
—
The members of the youthful or
ganization of The Native Sons and
Daughters of the Golden North, of
Fairbanks, assisted by their elder9
and the Fairbanks public generally,
are engaged today in celebrating
the Festival of the Midnight Sun,
and the whole town is in holiday
attire in honor of the occasion.
The celebration started with a big
parade during the early afternoon.
There were many autos in the line
of march, most of them prettily
decorated, and in addition there
were numerous bicycles, and parad
ers on foot, and several pretty
floats.
Following the parade, there were
races at the park, for the little folks,
and the afternoon was brought to
a close with an indoor picnic for
the wee tots at Eagle hall.
The celebration will be brought
to a close tonight with a picture
show and dance.
_
Arrivals from the Outside tell a
good story on Barney Simon, former
Fairbanks and Anchorage clothier.
He had a store in Seattle recently
and was advertising a big sale, by'
means of a sign across the front of,
his place. A competitor next door
put up a sign very similar to the
one over Barney’s store—so similar,
in fact, that the two signs had the
appearance of relating to the same
sale. Barney thought that was going
some, even for Seattle, but he re
ceived his big shock when he drove
down to his establishment a morn
ing or two later and discovered an-!
other sign over the door of his com
petitor, reading “Main Entrance",
intended of course to further carry
out the appearance of the two
stores being one and to divert pat
rons fiom Barney’s door.
The power boat Kestrel, of the
White Pass fleet, which operated on i
the Kantishna river last summer,

R. L. and H. D. Ellis, father and ,

Lehman, well known oldtimer, who i
also arrived on the Tanana, after j1
an absence of three years in the!
States. The elder Mr. Ellis is a man j
of considerable means, and his son j
is a mining engineer of prominence •
on the Pacific coast. They are going;
into the Kantishna to look over the ;
country, and Mr. Lehman is going!
in to look after his numerous in- j
terests. They are making the trip j
in Mr. Lehman’s motor boat.
Romeo Hoyt, of Fairbanks, was a
returning passenger on the steamer
Tanana yesterday. He went to Gib
bon to meet Mrs. Hoyt, who is on

the court party at Iditarod.
Mrs. Dave Fairbum joined her
