Junior Red Cross Show
Proves Financial Success
The Junior Red Cross show and re
vue, given Saturday night at the Lib
erty theatre, was a success from all
standards. The. youngsters made a
nice sum of money which will be used
for several necessary articles, such as
material for going on with Red Cross
classes, and playground equipment,
of which they are in sore need.
The committees worked hard and
much of the success of the program
is due to Miss Dahl and Miss Miller
of the teaching staff, Mr. J. P. Hannon
who read the lecture with the Red
Cross slides, and Miss Baughman, who
took care of the advertisements and
tickets. Mr. Brosius and Mr. Frost
lent timely aid, and the committe
wishes to thank the town for support-;
ing the affair so unanimously.

INDIANS WILDLY EXCITED
OVER FLIGHTS OF AIRPLANE
W. T. Scott, who arrived in town r; -
eently from Nenana, states that th..:
airplane flights are arousing curi
osity among the Indians. At Nenana
when Aviator Eielson stopped to take
on mail, Chief Silas and a number of
bucks weer interested spectotors. The
chief asked, “You go McGrath to
day.’’
“Yes,” replied Eielson.
“Back before supper.”
“Huh,’ said the chief, ‘“all same
H0-40 rifle.” This was his idea of ex
treme speed.
The Indians cannot believe the plane
can make a trip in a day requiring 22
days by fast dog team.
George Clyde and Edward McQuire
arrived in Anchorage recently from
the Little Susitna with a fine bag of
fur caught this winter. Among the
lot was a beautiful specimen of silver
grey fox.

ELECTION PASSING QUIETLY
But little interest is being taken in
the city election today, the vote up to
the hour of going to press being much
; smaller than was expected. The only
contest is in the council, the contes
tants being J. S. Badger, J. S. Hof
man, H. E. Ellsworth and D. S. Tyer.
But three are to be elected.
The Seward Chamber of Commerce
held its regular weekly luncheon today
noon, with a large attendance. Con
siderable business was transacted.
If an editor ran a paper the way
many of his readers would like to have
him run it, he would go broke in short
order and probably be in jail quicker.
