NEWS NOTES
■■
The Christmas services at the
churches were attended by a full con
gregation Friday evening and Satur
day Special musical programs wer*
provided both vocal and lnsruruental
and were greatly enjoyed
The Nugget force acknowledges
with tlinnks the receipt of sane much
appreciated Christmas cheei in the
shape of claaay neckties fron Ger. E.
Conran * Co. and a box of fragrant
Havanas from the Nevada both of
which hit the right spot.
Mushers report that the blow Fri
day and last night has alnost oblit
erated the trails In many places and
tiavel is difficult. The change la a
welcome one, to the majurlty of peo
ple, however, as the long continued
cold spell had grown exceedingly dis
gieeable to every one aside from th*
coal vendors—who were doubtless
greatly pleased at the co itinued vls,>
of old Jack Frost.
This "ill be a busy week for the
I
Aksala carnival committee which are
now engaged In putting on tho finish'
ing touches to the program which we
are assured will both pleise and as
tonish the people of Nome. The prin
cipal object of the committees haa been
to secure new attractions end features
and to get uwray from the old stereo !
typed forms of amusement as far as
possible—-and it Is said that they have
succeeded in most admlratle manner.
From all accounts the Jiirlstmas
trade was well up to the tverage a
spite of the blow Chrlstntss eve. Tho
majo .ly nf the merchants state lira'
there was very little dKTorence in
their receipts as compared to former
years. As one leading business man
puts it, "Nome seems to have Just
about the same amount to spend
every year. 1 notice very little differ" j
once from year to year. In spite of
the statement that the town is going
backward."
The little folks of Nome turned out
en masse to take advantage of the
kindly invitation of the Eagles to be-!
i oms the guests of that organ.
at a special moving picture show In
Eagle hall Friday evening. There was
a veritible army of small folka on 1
hand when the doors were opened and '
they were given a royal good time by 1
the committee In charge. Each child
was the recipient of a package of 1
candy by way of a Christmas gift 1
from the order and the occasion was
one that will doubtless be remembered
by the small folks for t long time to
come.
Peace and quiet was tho keynote
of Nomes’ method cf celebrating
Christmas day Saturday Even the
blizzard which sprang u> Friday af
ternoon lulled Itself into dreamy re
pose as the day advtnced and by
evening calm and quiet resigned su
preme. Dinner parties were many
during the afternon awl evening and
the Masonic ball rounded! out the day
and was well attended. Many of the
miners came In from the creeks to
enjoy the good things of the day and
the miners union held open house and
dispensed good cheer to members and
their friends. All told It w'as about

Suutu Claus came to Nome Friday
afternon and paraded the streets with
his reindeer team in inld afternoon,
much to the delight of the little folks.
After completing a circuit of the town
lie spent an hour or two at the Crow
lev store greeting the little folks.
Preparations are now being made
to hold a skii race on Carnival day
If proper arrangements can be made
a nice string of prizes will be hung up
for the speedy skii runners of this
section. An event of this character
will add nota little to thed ay as i
there are a number of fast men among |
the Scandinavians here at present.
The Loyal Order of Moose are pre
paring to hold open house on New
Years day and are also preparing to
Include thel adies of Nome in the j
votatlon extends to the friends of

will be served and music will be fur- j

Although it was Christmas Satur
day. W J. Rowe was out with his
teams clearing away the snow drifts
accumulated during Friday night and
by the time the majority of people
were ready to come down town the
streets were clear for travel. In fact
many did not even guess that the
early morning hours saw great heaps
of drift across the highways. The
promptitude of the contractor Is com
mendable as the good people of the
city were thus enabled to get around
with ease instead of being under the
necessity of wading snow throughout
the day.
Tiie Fairbanks Newn-miuw — - ,
lltn of November prints a Sew.-rd Uis- j
patch stating that trains were running j
on the Alaska Northern on that date
as far out from Seward as mile 34. \
Trains were also running from Ar- .
chorage to Eagle river. The same Item ,
also contains a statement from Lieut.
Mears that seventy-five per cent of *
the men employed on the railroad were
Alaskans. Mears said that the reason
that there were not moro was because
he was unable to get them as they
were busy at mining but as soon as
they could be had they would be em
ployed.
Commencing tomorrow night and
continuing all week the Dream theater
will present holiday attractions only
"The Grey Sentinel," "A Man" and
the "Scrub Lady" will be the offering
tomorrow night. Wednesday and
Thursday, the Million Dollar Mystery
will be shown—the greatest of all
Berials—11 and 12 episodes, entitled
"In tho Path of the Fast Express"
and "The Elusive Treasure Box." N
B. No show tonight.
Tho judges, time keepers and other
officials for tho Boschen cup race will
be appointed at a meeting of the Ken
nel Club on Wednesday evnlng at 8
p. m. On the same evening all drivers
will meet at the Board of Trade for
the puipooa of drawing for positions
and all entries must be handed on or
before that time. Whllo the snow has
somewhat hindered tho chances for a
reocrd breaking race, it Is said that
the race will undoubtedly be very fast
just tho same unless the trails are
completely blockaded. The various
teams are said to be rounding into ex
cellent condition and several have
lately run over the course in almost
record time.
In order to assist his patrons in re
