A happy New Year and a prosper
ous whole year to all!
Tho Mooao will give a social dance
tonight In the small Eagle hall to
which all are Invited.
Most of the frai'rnal orders and
clubs kept open house this afternoon
in accordance with the time honored
custom.
Today is a public holiday and the
banks and public offices were closed.
The postoffice was open only for an
hour, and the telegraph office worked
on Its customary holiday schedule.
1917 has begun. A well known local
Investment shark, who makes his liv
ing by thinking, said this morning if
he knew what is going to hanpen
during the year he could increase hi3
little capital up to Rockefeller propor
tions before Xmas. But he sadly
acknowledged that he cannot foresee
the future. Nor can anybody and
surely It Is better so.
New Year's eve celebrations of all
sol ts were In order last night when
P’ oplo watched the old year die and
wi!co mil '.rang ’917. The Board of
Trade restaurant was the scene of
brightness, music and dancing until
far into the wee hours of this morn
ing. At Burgh hail there wa3 a dance
■and watch party which was not dis
mal at all. And in many homes there
were appropriate festivities.
That the people of Seattle through
the Seattle Chamber of Commerce
take an interest In Nome and Seward
peninsual is amply evidenced not only
by their support of our Interes’s in
the past but by a telegram received
by President Polet this morning. It is
more than a pleasant seasonal greet
ing which could be sent anywhere for
It mentions no* only our mineral re
sources but also our growing fishery
and reindeer Industries. The telegram
contains greetings to all people of this
section and Is as follows: “Mr. A. Po
et, president Seward Peninsula Cham
ber of Commerce. Nome, Alaska, To
tho people of Nome and the Seward
peninsula the Alaska Bureau of the
Seattle Chamber of Commerce extends
best wishes for the year of Alaska's
semi-centennial, that It may he one
of unequalled prosperity In the devel
opment of your great mineral, fishery
and reindeer Industries.

Manager.”
The drawing to see who wins the
Lomen Vlctrola took place yesterday.
Thirteen numbers were taken from
the box and it had been specified
that the thirteenth number would be

been lost and the owner does not pre
sent it the twelfth number which Is
2,109 will be the winner and so on
back. The third In order is 1001.

go so far. The drawing showed that
the unit number which i3 of mport

December 23d is 4. Those holdng
coupons with 4 as the Anal number
on purchases made on December 23

than four persons have telephoned ‘he
Lomen drug store that they hod num

hour of going to press no claimant
had put In an appearance with the
coupon bearng that number.

QUESTION OF
AMERICAN |
CITIZENSHIP
Intcrantional News Service.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.—A ques
tion has risen at the navy department
us to whether certain American citi
zens who went abroad and served a 1
term with one of the belligerent forces
of Europe are eligible for enlistment
in the United States army and navy, i
Presumably these persons were re- J
quired to take the oath of allegiance to i
the foreign country in which event
they may have forfeited their citl- '
zenrhip in the United States. On the
other hand, as aliens are not debarred 1
from enlistment, it is not seen why
Americans should be denied thut priv- I
liege because they served a term in a
foicign army.
TO PROTECT
SPAWNING
HALIBUT
Interantional News Service.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 80.—A law
providing for n closed season on thr
catching of halibut will be enacted
soon, is the expectation of officials of
the bureau of fisheries, department of
agriculture. The bill which fisheries
officials fostered during the last ses
sion of congress and which was passed
by the senate, is now pending In the
house committee on fisheries, and It
is expected the commlttete will favor
ubly report the bill and that the house
will pass the measure. The bill would
prohibit the catching of halibut for
about three months during the winter
spawning season, which would go far
toward insuring against decrease in
the size of the halibut runs.
HOLY CROSS BENEFIT
WELL ATTENDED AND
PRODUCTIVE OF FUNOS
Six or seven hundred people gath
ered at Eagle hull Saturday ev°ning
for the entertainment benefit for Iljly
Cl css hospital. It was not the Ak
sala carnival of old either in attend
anib or In the type of entertalnm* i»
yot as a substitute it will probably
net the hospital qu‘te R9 much «s
he old method would have don? n.'d
those In attendance had a very pie is
at. t'me.
The evening’s program was divided
Into an entertainment und a dance.
Beginning at nine o’colck two mov
ng pictures contributed by the Codo
Ctark company and by Thomas and
Wright were thrown on the screen.
These were followed by a violin solo
by Miss Bertha Johnson In that art
iste's excellent manner. Mr. James
Bogan then 3ang "Where the River
Shannor Flows” so well that he re
ceived a hearty encore. A mandolin
Ud guitar trio by Messrs. Cowdco.
Fry and Nicholas was beautifully ren
dered and a second seelction was
demanded. A Dutch stunt entitled Lena
and Louie was staged by Mrs. Frank
Polet as Lena and Ml3s Bertha John
son as Louie in costume. They made
a great hit. The only fault to he
found with thlD act was that there
was not a great deal more of It. How
ever. the Nome orchestra consoled the
audience by starting off with a dance
piece in its best manner which is
hard to surpa3s and the eager dancers
at once swarmed the floor. More
men than ladles were present and
therefore the latter were in great de
mand as partners
Dancing was continued until aboui
two o'clock in the morning when
everybody scurried home to prepare
for the festivities attendant on New
Year’s eve.
