SIX HUNDRED
DOLLARS ARE
FOR HALIFAX
■ ■— ■ —
Before the day is over Six Hum- j
died Dollars will have been sent from
Seward to Mayor Hoben as this city’;
contribution to the relief fund for the
stricken ones of the Nova Scotia city.
During yesterday afternoon variou.
amounts kept pouring into the hand;
of Mayor Cotter and others will make
contributions today. The showing in
Seward is a most hearty demonstra
tion of free will offering for a wor
thy cause. Several days ago the Ca
nadian Club of Seattle wired that it
was making up a donation of $15,00(
and asked the Alaskan towns to as-‘
sist in raising this amount. Anchor
age raised $200, and other places sub
scribed amounts nearly as large as
Seward has done. Seward sends itV
money direct to Halifax, however.
The following are among the late
donations: H. Straus, $1; F. D. An
trim, $3; Charles Krefting, $2; (loo
Reynolds, $2; Charles Christianson,
$5; George Phelps, $5; Tom Tessie,
$5; Mrs. J. J. Patton, $1; Albert

The Seward Fire boys are right or
their toes when the bell rings' and
this was satisfactorily and capably
demonstrated this morning before 9
o'clock when the gong tapped. A
blaze on the roof of the Wooley resi
dence on Third avenue caused the
alarm and the boys responded in such
short order that only a Pyrene was;
used. A small hole was burned in
the 1*00f. The blaze is believed to
have been caught from a flying spark
which lodged beneath a shingle and
was fanned by the wind which vasj

The ertw of the Evans played in
hard luck on the last trip south. At
Cordova the stewardess fell and suf

Gulf, the second steward fell, severe

butcher cut one of his fingers off with
a cleaver when the steamer took a
sudden toss in the storm.

Anyway, one man

VELVET, the Smoothest Smoking Tobacco, combines the
