MASK UVi TONIGHT
It may be tipping off what to
night’s throng at the New Year’s
Eve Mask Ball will be greeted with
b u t, regardless of consequences,
here’s the “dirt.”
Under a canopy of colored fes
toons long strings of softened elec
tric lights will give forth a new
idea in illumination design and the
orchestration platform will be in
the middle of the large floor. Oh
yes, the punch! Yes! ,Yes! This
potent soft-liquor, ladies and those
who come with you, will be served
up one flight of four steps to the
stage which is not set with cus
pidors, brass rail, towels, sawdust
and girls, but a most handsome
corps of bartenders.
But, and that’s the "rub,” the j
punch will lack that "kick” which \
levels all men, so to speak. The j
punch will be mild, the committee !
asserts, for the Volunteer Fire De- ■
j partment anticipates making this |
dance affair tonight the finest and ;
most enjoyable of the organiza- i
tion’s entire career. Rigid order i
will be maintained and woe onto
any rowdies; woe onto them! whoa! i
Many and varied wjill be the !
costumes, judging from the inter
jest and secrecy manifest during
'the last few weeks. In conclusion
: the department cordially urges all
I Seward to join them tonight in
! bidding 1931 adios, and to fittingly
1 welcome the arrival of another
New Year; to enjoy with them a
night of frolic.
Prizes galore!
TO FAR WEST ISLAND
The MS Eunice. Alaska Commer- 1
cial Company packet, left recently
from Unalaska for Atka via Umnak
in order to avoid the prevailing
northwest gales which harass ship
ping. The skipper of the MS Eunice
intended to skirt the northwest end
of Unalaska Island and thence to
the Pacific side, calling at Unalga
Island enroute.
STEWIII’S DEPARTMENT
OF STARR HASILLNESSES
Nick Nikerferoff, pantry man on
the palatial SS Starr, was stricken
with measles December 14 five
days out of the great Port of Sew
ard and had just recovered wrhen
Norman Anderson, salon waiter
not saloon-caught the disease and
was put ashore in Unalaska.
Two days later, upon the Starr’s
return from Umnak, Mike Apple- j
baum. shiek of the mess hall, was
shoved ashore to keep Norman
company. Applebaum became af
flicted by the same malady; and
all in the steward’s department!

excellent feature "Tom Sawyer.”

VESSEL THOUGHT LOST
SEATTLE, Dec. 31. (/P) — Silent
since distress calls early yesterday

have sunk after a broken steering
gear practically left the ship help

velocity. The vessel sailed with a
mixed cargo from Vancouver two
weeks ago for the Orient.
