MK. AINU MKS. EDWARDS
ARRIVE FROM THE INTERIOR
D. E. Edwards and wife arrived in
the city from Ophir yesterday and left I
this morning over the trail for Sew- |
ard en route to the great outside,
where they will spend the balance of;
the winter. Mr. and Mrs. Edwards •
stopped at the Crescent while in the'
city and expressed great surprise at
the wonderful growth of Anchorage.
They were 17 days on the trail and
were forced to stop over at Rainy
Pass road house four days on account
of the extreme cold weather that is
prevailing in that section of Alaska at
the present time.
Mr. Edwards is in the mercantile
business at Ophir and reports business
in all lines as flourishing in that part
of the country. Especially is this true
of the mining game, said Mr. Edwards,
; and all of the camps had a good sea
son.
When asked about the Tolstoi dis
; trict Mr. Edwards waxed ultra en
i thusiastic, and said the past month
had brought forth wonderful develop
ments, and that he expected that there
would be 2,000 people in the Tolstoi
country by spring. He left his dogs
at mile 41 until late in Marcji when he
and Mrs. Edwards will return on their
way back to Ophir.
CHRISTMAS WITH
THE PRESBYTERIANS
The honors of the Christmas enter
tainment at the Presbyterian church
last evening went to the chorus of
twenty-two young women who sang
1 in the “Bells of Christmas.” But the
whole program was well rendered and
the costuming was very effective. The
chorus of the Wise men, of the Shep
herds and the duet by grand father
and his grand daughter were all well
received. Perhaps the most enjoyable
! feature of the evening was the prim
! ary exercises by fifty tots, who went
through their song and recitations as
| if each one were destined to be a
j prima donna or virtuoso at some time
i in the future. The house, which had
; been tastefully decorated for the oc
i casion, was filled to overflowing with
j friends of the school.

I CLYDE ALEXANDER
FOUND DEAD IN HOME
—
(Seward Gateway.)
Clyde Alexander, the well known lo
cal photographer was found dead in
his home this morning between the
hours of 7 and 8. At the time he was
! found he was in a half kneeling and
reclining posture at the bedside.
Death was due to heart failure, the
doctors say. Dr. Romig, who was
called to the house says that Mr.
Alexander had apparently taken a
dose of bromide and choral in a
quantity large enough to cause de
pression of the heart action. He had
been .taking it for some days and it
is known that he had just ordered
three ounces in a bottle and the bot
tle was empty when Mr. Alexander
died.
Mr. Alexander was well and favor
ably known and the news of his death
caused a shock. He was born in
Scotland and was a brother-in-law of
Robert Ashland by marriage. His
daughter, who was here some time
ago, is married and Mr. Alexander
leaves many other relatives.
WHORF GOES TO GET
PLANT FOR SELDOVIA
SEWARD.—W. G. Whorf leaves on
the Alameda for the outside to secure
a small plant for clam and salmon
fishing at Seldovia and will return in
a month or so. He has the .most per
fect confidence in the value of the
fishineries up there. Some time ago he
set one crab trap and in two hours
he caught thirty-six, not one of which
was less than eight inches in length.
Mr. Whorf says it is much easier to
get clams up near Seldovia than at
Cordovia because they are found in
bays up this way. The beds are prac
tically unlimited.

JAMAICA GINGER
FALLS UNDER BAN
LEWISTON, Idaho, Nov. 28.—That
Jamaica ginger is to be placed under
the ban is the statement made by
Prosecuting Attorney Harry S. Gray,
when asked for a ruling1 as to wheth
er the selling of this beverage was in,
violation of the dry laws of Idaho.
Since the abolition of intoxicating
liquors from this state every conceiv
able cbtfcoction has been mixed and
it is stated that Jamaica ginger is
the nearest approach to the hundred
proof beverage and has been fre
quently used.
In commenting on the use of Ja
maica ginger, Mr. Gray said: "I
would no more hesitate to prosecute
a druggist for selling a bottle of
Jamaica ginger than I would for sell
ing a bottle of whiskey. Under the
Idaho law a single conviction on such
offense Mould cause a revocation of
the druggist’s license.”
