CHRISTMAS IN ANCHORAGE.
Anchorage observed Christmas in a most appropriate man
ner. The people entered into the spirit of the occasion with
whole-heartedness and enthusiasm, and the various festivities
and functions commemorative of the auspicious event brought
forth large audiences. Anchorage, as the metropolis of 'the
Cook inlet country, was the natural center of attraction that
drew the people from the surrounding country. It is estimated
that from 1,200 to 1,500 people, either residing at outlying
points or temporarily employed there, came to town to enjoy
the Christmas festivities that began Saturday night and con
tinued throughout yesterday.
The massive Labor Temple was formally opened Saturday
night and large as is the structure, it was none too large for
the throngs of people that attended the event. A hundred cou
ples participated in the grand march and many came after the
march was concluded. The Elks’ dance in Robarts’ hall at
tracted a good attendance.
The Christmas tree exercises, given under the auspices of
the local order of Elks, in conformity to a long-established cus
tom of the order, and taking place in the commodious labor
temple, through the courtesy of the Alaska Labor Union, was
certainly the most enthusiastic event of the kind ever had in
this community. It appeared that about every child in town
was present, escorted by parents. And the little ,folks did not
go away empty-handed, either. There were gifts for all.
Sunday evening, the Presbyterian church held special
Christmas services and high mass was held at midnight in Ro
barts’ hall, to accommodate the large crowd that wished to par
ticipate in or witness this beautiful and impressive service.
Christmas day afternoon was devoted to an open meeting
in the Labor Temple. The auditorium was filled to capacity. A
wrestling match of uncommon merit took place in the after
noon, in Robarts’ hall, and provided amusement for those who
enjoy manly sports.
In the evening both moving picture shows played to capa- j
city houses at all performances.
A striking feature of the Christmas festivities was the en-:
tire absence of unseemly conduct brought on by over-indulg-;
ence in drink. Splendid order prevailed. A sober community j
observed Christmas in a sober, sensible manner, and the ocea- i
sion was none the less gladsome and joyous.
AT THE EMPRESS.
Thrilling Drama—A Typical Western
Play.
William S. Hart, the favorite screen
celebrity, is featured in a great west
ern story—western characters, west
ern scenery—laid in the grand can
yon of Arizona and with eypical west
ern situations, entitled “The Bargain,”
which will be presented at the Em
press theatre this, Tuesday and Wed
nesday, December 26 and 27.
Mr. Harps familiar face is always
welcome in any play. He is decidedly
a Broadway favorite, in fact a favor
ite the country over. In “The Bar
gain,” he plays the leading role, which
abounds in situations demanding dar
ing and courageous acting. After
many thrilling and blood-curdling ad
ventures, “The Two-Gun Man” (Mr.
Hart) begins life anew, inspired by
the love which alone makes possible I
the right unravelling of life’s tangled I
webs.

We wish you all a Merry Xmas. We hope you had#it. And
now that it is over, and no doubt Santa Claus was nice to you,
if you have overlooked anyone you may still find a nice assort
ment of gifts to choose from at our stores.
At the very last minute we received by mail and express
from Seward some very nice additions to our stock in. the line
of pipes, smoking sets and vases., Exceptionally beautiful and
artistic.
Our candy is as usual “the very best”—and you know—
‘ ‘ Better late than never. ’ ’
What, people think of our lines of Fountain Pens is <|uite
evident—over three-quarters of our stock is sold, but we still
have a few good ones left. And we want to add hat anyone who
got one of our Waterman’s Fountain Pens or Conklin’s can
have the point of his pen changed free if desired.
On a whole we can say that in all our experience in the
Drug business we'have not seen such an intelligent buying as
this year in Anchorage. It was a pleasure to wait on people,
and if in the rush of business we have overlooked anyone and
failed to give as good a service as we wish, we humbly beg to
be forgiven. It was not intentional, and we want to thank you
all for vour patience and good will.
