deposits.

hundred men have been employed
around the Sound in developing,
prospecting, and in working the ship*
oing mines, of which there art* now
hree. two on Latouehe island, and one
d HI Lunar. Development work on
several others will place them in the
shipping elas> i:t another year. A

BIRTHDAY OF ALASKA
October 18. is properly Alaska’s
birthday, and Seward, which took the
initiative, in common with several
other Alaska towns celebrated. It
is probable that the day hereafter will
be observed in every community of the
territory as the Fourth of July is cele
brated wherever the Stars and Stripes
are floating.
Alaska is 39 years this year. Of
course she was on earth before October
is, 1st VI, hut on that day she was born
again and received baptism into a new
and better life. The {fenerations
through which she lived in the family
of the llus>ian czars do not count.
Alaska is a sort of foundling child.
Sin* doesn't get much care and petting
or many presents from her benevolent
uncle who • mi lavish with his cofTee
coiored wards. She nurses a sort of
grievance against the old man because
of bis lack of demonstrative affection
but she i> glad to be in the family
nevertheless. The men of Alaska are
from “The States,” and they feel that
it is better to be a doorkeeper in the
house of the l.ord than to dwell in the i
tents of wickedness, which means any j
monarchial flag.

OFFERS HONOR
TO ALASKA DAY
Seward’s First Observance of j
Cession of Territory a
Creditable Event.
Seward's First observance of Alaska
Day was a success to which its citizens
can point with pride. A big crowd
tilled Moore’s hall and greeted the
program with enthusiastic plaudits.
Music, addresses, readings and Flag
drills and marches b\ small school
pupils constituted the early evening
exercises, followed by a dance which
became an early morning exercise be- j
fore it terminated.
Rev. L. II. IVdersen presided and j
sandwiched the program with brief re
marks which added to the general in
terest. School children, who had
been carefully drilled by Mrs. Mc
Manus. gave a dug drill and sang
patriotic songs. Madam Brace Harris j
sang ‘‘The Star Spangled Danner.” |
and 1111 chiUlrnn accompanied it with!
another Hag drill, followed by a match j
in which they maneuvred with remark-j
abb* accuracy. Doth singer and I
, irehes were encored. Mrs. Sexton I
s:iv" a piano solo. Mrs. <i. \\ . (labriel ,
■ reading. "Our Pilgrim Fathers," j
;.!, - lames Leach. F.llsworth and Hale
a trio. "In Old Madrid," which was
encored. Miss Jeanette de (Truyter
then recited "Tint Prospector s Solilo
quy." a parody on Hamlet’s fatuous in-J
trospeclion. which struck a responsive
chord in the miners present. Madam!
Harris then sang "Barbara Frietchie.”
which somehoih had set to catchy
music. Cecil II. Clegg read extracts
from the treaty of cession from llussia
to t he Failed States.
Dr. (.’. H. Cibbons and Judge L. S.
Hewlett delivered addresses. Dr.
(iihhons spoke of Alaska’s natural
attractions and resources and criti
cised the neglect the territory has
always suffered from the national gov
ernment. in a way that suited the
crowd. Judge Hewlett spoke humor
ously upon the fascination of Alaska
life from the standpoint of a cheehaeo
and promised to become a sourdough
as rapidly as possible.
Table Etiquette in 1073
The antiquary took down a small,
fat volume, vellum bound, with a brass
clasp.
•‘This is a ‘Book of Manners,'" he
said. “'It was printed in 1073. Here
are a few extracts:
••Do not gnaw a bone like a dog nor
>uck the marrow out of a bone.” ‘‘In
peeling a pear begin at the stock, but i
with an apple begin at the top.” “Doj
not wipe the hands on the clothes nor
I suck them, but use the cloth.”
; “When you drink lift the cup in both
hands; you must not drink with one
hand, like a wagoner When he is greas
ing his cartwheels.”
“Wipe your nose and mouth when
I you have drunk and do not cough into
| the cup.” “Do not eat an apple all
alone, but cut it in two and give your
neighbor a piece.” “Do not use your
own knife to cut your meat if the host
has set a knife of his own at your
place.” “Do not spread butter on
bread with your thumb.”
