NEWSY LETTER
FROM CANDLE
Candle, Alaska, Jah 3, 1915,
To the Nome Nugget.
The new year of 1915 was ushered In
here under a great suspense, espec
ially to us Germans; owing to the fact
that some ullied forces have cut off our
cable communication with the outside
world since Dec. 24th and it is a long
time not to hear from our divine ruler
"Kaiser William" but we trust that all
Is well with him, and that the Lion and
the Dear have not devoured him yet.
However, which ever way things have
turned and shaped themselves during
this long spell we would be pleased to
get some news, hut the only reports we
get from our local war office in to the
effect that the wire Is still down. The
slogan “We work while the wires are
down” Is true here,hut it Is all in
darkness as to facts, that we work
Another disappointment here which
is very noticeable at this time is that
the Candle philanthropist, Mr. M s
Beacher, whom always in years past
here in Candle, particularly at this
time of the year, has shown himself to
be a lover of his fellow man. and would
leave nothing undone that would fur\
ther | impost ions of general interest,
has now taken a different view of
things generally, and positively re
fuses to assist with anything; and will
not even come to the village for a party
or a dance. We all regret the change,
but he is unalterable.
Xmas passed here quiet and orderly,
though all mining came to a standstill
before Xmas and nearly everyone came
to town to partake in the festivities of
the Beason. The principle one was the
entertainment and fair, given by some
of the Candle ladies for the benellt of
the Falrhaven hospital. Saying the
least, it was a grand success, and it
afforded a great pleasure to.all, but es
peclally to the children whom after
their part in the entertainment were
all amply rewarded by Santa Claus for
their good work and interest.
After all presents were delivered the
sales began, and a great assortment
was on hand for the willing buyers;
everything went fast, and nothing was
left over, only the net result of a little
over $500 In real money, which clearly
demonstrates the Cample spirit, for
when we are all counted we do not
number much over 125 people in all,
therefore credit i« due all, but espec
ially the ladies that took an active
part.
Next in line comes Mr, L. L. Mason
“The large Candle merchant" whom on
Xmas eve gave a free for all dinner and
dance, much enjoyed by all his guests.
A number of small parties were held
at different places and taking it all
through we had a very pleasant Christ
mas.
Thu confidence "f an orderly conduct
by everybody and of everything going
on was shown by our pence officer
whom for his Christmas dinner took a
trip over to the lnmachuk: we do not
doubt that he had a very good time
and everything pleasant, but would
have tieen more pleased to have had
him with us
New Year’s eve a party was given
by the proprietors of the Candle hotel.
In the Candle hall, the old year was
watched out and the new one In. and
we hope that the good cheer displayed
will continue throughout the year and
longer.
Mrs E. p Smith of the Palrhaven
restaurant gave a very pleasant card
oarty New Year’s day, and after a
gorgeous lunch being served, dancing
began and the Joyful party lasted till
the small hours in the morning.
t'nder the auspices of the Kotzebue
Kennel club, a dog race was held New
Year’s day, from Candle to Keewallk!
and return, a distance of about lx miles
The following teams were entered:
Rupert Christopher. Enos Thnmaz
Hart Humber. Hilkev Robinson, Rod
Dlmmiek. Cbas Evern and R Sund
qulst. A purse of $100 was divided as
follows: 60. 20 and 15 per cent. Hart
Humber varied off the first prize and
made the trip in 1:30:12, Thnmaz, sec
ond, l:40:R, Stmdquist third, 1:50:10 |
The others were close behind and if
dog-talk counts for anything we will
have more races in the near future

article will be continued In which our I
correspondent tells of the mining acti
vities around Candle.
