JESSE LEE WHUGE
SHADES XMAS HAPPINESS;
DINNER, GIFTS, SINGING
Ninety-one juvenile hearts were
made happy at the Jesse Lee orphan
age Christmas day when Santa Claus
appeared laden with all the good
things which go to make up a per
fect Yuletide. And the 17 members
of the staff shared in the spirit and
good things of the day, for it was a
Christmas filled to the brim with
cause for rejoicing.
Each child received a stocking con
taining toys, fruit, nuts and sweet
meats, kind remembrances of those
in the States who annually make up
the quota of pretty and useful things
which contribute to the happiness of
the orphans. These things are re
ceived from time to time and stored
and sorted to meet the tastes and de
ires of their reciepents.
Added to the festivities of the day
was a sumptuous dinner, containing
everything calculated to grace the
Christmas board—turkey, cranberry
sauce, celery, lettuce, fruits, desserts
dear to the palate of adult and juve
nile.
The dinner was emblematic of the
precepts of the Masonic order and
was provided by Seward Lodge, No.
219, thru a committee named for the
purpose.
Among the guests at dinner were
U. S. Commissioner Finch of Unalas
ka( who was passing thru on his way
Outside; Harry Maldonado of Cor
dova, whose children are in the or
phanage and Mr. and Mrs. Drugg of
Seward.
The presents were distributed from
a big Christmas tree, the children as
l, ' 7‘."
sembled and marched to the gift
room at 9 o’clock Christmas morning.
Later they visited uptown, where
they sang Christmas carols and en
joyed the spirit of the Yuletide being
so completely manifested in every
nook and corner of the city.
Mr. an d Mrs. Clarence Fey, newly
weds of Anchorage, passed thru Sew
ard Saturday on their way to Seattle
where Mr. Fey will enter the employe
of the General Electric company.
The S. S. Panama, the new vessel
recently purchased by the A. S. S. Co.,
and which it is understood will beJ
placed on the Seward run, is schedul
ed to make its first trip on May 1.
Thanks are extended to Carl Eric
son and Gus Wickland, road contrac
tors, who voluntarily dug the deep
hole for the big Christmas tree on
Fourth and Adams streets.
A passenger coach w^as hooked on to
the freight train yesterday and six
passengers, the majority of them gov
ernment employes, left for Anchor
age. This morning’s regular train
had but one coach attached into which
women, men and children were crowd
ed.
CHIEF OFFICER OF
S. S. STARR FALLS
The Gateway has been asked to pub
lish the following article which was
handed in this morning by a member
of the Starr crew:
It has been rumored that Mr. R. A.
Wheeler, the popular and congenial
1st officer of the S. S. Starr was final
ly married at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Bender on Christmas night in
the presence of his fellow officers.
The affair was very secret and at pre
sent the name of the lucky girl is not
for publication but the new wife will
be on exhibition in his quarters on
the famous steamer Starr.
The standing of a financial institution is re
f fleeted in the character of those with whom it
5 does business.
