Just Like Christmas

The mail arriving on the
Schwatka afternoon required
several hours to distribute.
Nearly every resident received a
large package-it seemed just
like Christmas to see so many
bundles being passed out. Many
mail sacks containing the pro-
fusely illustrated works of Mont
gomery Ward & Co. tthe firm
that does so much for Tanana),
caused a great outburst of un-
alleged joy, and almost every
body, it seemed, received copy
of the coveted volume but The
Leader. The postmaster's wife,
noticing the keen disappointment
of the newspaper man during the
passing around of the ''good
things" kindly sacrificed her
copy and sent him home as the
proud possessor of the famous
picture book"
