of the word. The weather man pn>m s

was out in all its glory* chasing away
the rain clouds and before 9 o’clo-k
the earth was as dry a< a bone- ideal
for picnics. Nearly all of Seward was
ur> early yesterday tak,rg a look a*
the weather* and finding it O. K. lunch
boxes or baskets were quickly packe 1*
hiking clothes or- outing togs were
on- fishing poles and tackle were grab
bed and the citizens began getting om
to Mile 7. Many went out on the t*aiu
but the majority were whisked out n
private can* or th-» passenger truck*.
And at Mile 7 everything was ready
for tho^e glad to get out of doo*-s and
enjoy themselves. The bear* the b°ef
and the trimmings also the beans
were ready on time and served to t1*1'
hungrv. The big picnic c»owil brok*' up
into little ones* old men were young
again and the young-uns were more
kids than usual. Dancing was enjoyed
in the Woodrow house until late in the
afternoon when the picknickers began
thinking of getting hack to th“ usurd
again* then the autos were kept busy
until a late hour last night.
The Pioneers in charge of the pic

most satisfactory, the public receiving
a good time in return. Everybody at
tending the big event were well plead

trede by tho missionaries of the F.*v

isolated Eskimo villages and of th
precautions which have to be taken to
guard against the terrific cold.
“Ho touched upon the necessity <»f
covering all the ground in as short a
time as possible for fear of delay
through storms and of a consiapiently
insufficient food supply.
“The missionary is enthus.-i^i
about the district confined to his care,
with its great physical beauty and i*<
wealth of unmined treasure. He cn1,'*<l
*he attention of his audience to the
fact that Alaska was not entirely a
frozen country* since parts of it
warmed by streams from Japan* have
a wholly temperate climate where
^lowers bloom th** year round.
“Ho praised the Eskimo neon “
highly, saying that they were n >t the

under much more hygienic conditions

they are Ivghly appreciative of beauty
