CHRISTMAS IN SEWARD
Christmas in Alaska is not the dull,
uneventful day one would imagine it
to be from reading about the coun
try in the first sellers. Seward citi
zens spend about the same Christmas
spent by millions of outsiders, and
probably a better Christmas than oth
er millions. They have good warm
churches, with able ministers, whose
sermons are along the same lines as
those of the churches in the larger
cities in the States, they have snow
shoeing, skiing, tramping, the thea
tre, the dance, and numerous good
books to read. Our homes are as snug
and warm as those of other places,
and there is no doubt but that the
average Alaskan has as good a din
ner. We can see no gainful way of
spending the day any other place, over
spending it in Seward, with the possi
ble exception we will not have the
Christmas issues of the daily papers
filled with promiscuous advertising.
REDONDO STILL ON RUN
The local steamship schedule an
nounces that the steamship Redondo
will continue calling at Seldovia and
Halibut Cove until further notice.
NABESNA SAILS JANUARY 30
The freighter Nabesna of the Alas
ka Steamship company is scheduled
to sail from Seattle January 30. Or
ders should be sent in by wire.
If you haven’t got a little noise in
| your home tomorrow you have miss
1 ed part of the joys of Christmas.
