N’ing After, hit Seward early on New
Year's and fool like, remained around
town and sure enough, bobbed up
again on January 2nd., but the pair
will mush on today for the unknown.
New Year's Eve, New Year’s day,
the congratulations, the goodbye to
, he oid and the welcome to the new;
the New Yeai calls and the parties,
they have now passed and all can go*
down to the routine of business. But
loulir.e as it is much of the time, there
is one plaintive question that must
yet bo answered:
-Where is the gang going to meet ?"
The New Year was ushered in un
iUr nio>t favorable conditions. Danc
ing was stopped at the Mason's ball
at midnight Monday and greetings ex
tended. At the Arctic Brotherhood
! masquerade .which was well attained,
the baby year came in for a good re
ception. On the streets there were
cheers and shouts, glasses were brok
en on one or two bars to indicate “it’s
« tF” and silent toasts were lakcn.
At the stroke of twelve, the liiuor
places opened allowed one last drink,
I lie taps were opened wide end the ba
bottles which had not been emptied in
trade, were poured empty. The cm—ds
vent through the open doors to the
Mine of many a familiar song—and
lie saloons were a thing of the past.
During the evening all liquor places
uisposed of their remaining stock of
.roods on hand, which was not large,
and everything passed off quietly and

BEING FITTED
i UP IN STYLE
I -
At eight o’clock this morning a
force of men from Brossius & Noon,
assisted by Leo Margules, commenced
making repairs to the Northern.
Within the next fifteen or 20 days
this place will be changed into a pool
and billiard room, with private booths
for card playing or conferences and a
new cigar stand will be put m, also a
| soft drink bar.
The partition which formerly shut
the bar oil* from the main loom will
be torn out and also the partition
separating the bowling alleys from
: the pool room. The bowling alleys are
! being torn up and will ultimately be
; placed in the basement although pos
i sibly not for the present.
With the partitions torn out car
i penters will put down a hard wood
I floor, this material arriving on the
Alameda tomorrow. A metal ceiling
will be put on and then the interior
fittings installed. In the front, on the
! opposite side from where the old ci
j gar stand was located, the new will
; be placed. Between the cigar stand
| and soft drink bar, which will be in
the rear of the room, private booths
for /aid playing will h° built. Six
• new billiard tables will be added to
those now on the floor.
Leo Margules, manager, promises
| that when the New Northern is *>pen
I (‘<1 the local place will compare easily
i with those in the large cities in the
states on the coast.
