It was announced this after- ’
noon that all stores will close to- ’
moi row afternoon at 1 o’clock '
and orders must be in early to
insure delivery before that hour. -
“Oh, Skinnay, there ain’t goin* to
he no school tomorrow ’count it bein’
Washington’s birthday. Ain’t you
glad? Let's go ooligan lishin’.”
And just because tomorrow is a le
I gal holiday the Hank of Seward and
the Hurriman Hank will be closed, the
•rio at the Lost Oflice can sleep lot
for the place will be closed; the cable
office will be open from 11 to i(l and f»
in (>; perhaps the stores will keen
open only until noon and perhaps they
will observe the usual hours and re
main open all day, ditto with the meat
markets; the railroad force will ah »
observe the day. taking a whole holi
day; others will go fishing, etc., but
all will pull themselves together by
night time and hike for the A. H. hall
for the Firemen’s masquerade.
Nope, the Gateway will not take a
holiday, but will publish as usual, so
all will know what the other fellah is
doing or didn’t do.

WATER IN TWO
LAKES TAKE A
RISE SUDDENLY
.—
The rain and the \va m wind last
night did things. This morning at
the Bank of Seward corner, lake Bal
derston was out of its banks and ca»e
I taker Schulz was forced to do extra
; hard labor and dig trenches, both Ei:.-t
and second line, across the street to
carry away the overflow.
Down on Washington and broad
wav, lake Brownell also suddenly
t came up. Alex McDonald put up no
tices, one reading that no ooligan
' asking would lx* allowed inlcss spo
(ial permission granted, which would
not be. Another sign positively pro
1 hibited swimming unless bathing suits
i were worn. When the water was at
i its flood in the lake the blooming fer
I i v dropped its propellor and trans
portation was made only on foot
around Snow mountain.
FIERCE STORM CAUSE
OF MAIL BLOCKADE IN
THE ALASKA INTERIOR
C. S. Crider, traveling represents -
' live of the Weils Fargo Express, who
lias been in the city for over a week,
reports that during liis trip out from
Fairbanks the worst stoim of the rea
son was then raging on the govern
ment trail. The storm succeeded in
i blockading the trail and holding up ;ili
mail.
Mr. Crider also brings news of the
! narrow escape from being lost on the
trail experienced by Robert G. Menzie
of Fairbanks, superintendent of trans
portation of the Northern Commercial
Company, which is directly in charge
of the overland winter mail. As a
j number of the stages were tied up on
' account of the storm, Mr. Menzie ar
| rive4 on the scene to personally look
after the dispatch of Uncle Sam’s husi
ness. Having traveled over the trail
scores of times, he felt that he was
j familiar with every foot of the ground
i ano secure in this belief, he started
! alone from one- roadhouse to go tr
another, where he cupected to meet
one of his teams blizzard-bound. It
*
was bitter cold, and in blinding snow
| he got off the trail and wandered in
the woods, having lost his way. As he
1 failed to show up at the roadhouse, a
searching party started out to find
Ivm, which thev did just in the nick of
time, as Mr. Menzie was without f*;oH
' or blankets and could not have with
stood the wintiy blasts much longer
j The wanderer was taken to a place of
safety and fortunately he soon recov
ered from the efforts of his experience
! ’n the wilderness.

CONDUCTOR WEDS A JACKIE
I
Because of the scarcity of male la* ;
bor, women are being employed as i
conductors on surface lines in New
York and elsewhere. And now girls 1
arc quitting their Jobs to get married.
The photograph shows Mr. and Mrs.
Hilaries II. Lawver. Mr. Lawver when j
aboard one of Hnole Sam’s cruisers Is
a chief gunner’s mate and Mrs. Lawver
is tin1 first of the women conductors
to fall victim to Dan Cupid's darts.
Tin* war is really responsible for it
all. Lawver met his br'de two years
ago when sin* was Miss Nora Hannan.
They had not seen eaeli other until re
cently when Hiinner’s Mate Lawver
board* 1 a Broadway ear. Miss llan
nau was the conductor, and one more
war romance was added to the list.

Lobsters Are Marked.
over 1 .<Hm> seed lobsters have been
liberated along the Maine coast recent
ly. and an additional 2,(XX) are ready
as soon as the authorization of the
commission of sea and shore fisheries
is obtained for their liberation, says
the Fishing (Jazette. Kvery one of
these has been marked and as they ore
the property of the state of Maine, it
will he necessary for all lobster fisher
men who may gather them in their
traps to release their, or stand the pen
alty of a Soti tine which was provided
in a new law enacted at the last ses
sion of tie* Maine legislature. The 1,- |
• mm) female lobsters that were lib- .
crated recently were the first to he '
given the special marking, a small hole I
having been punched through the mid- !
die flipper, and those later to be re- J
leased will have the same marking.
