NEW PUBLICATION FOR
 ANCHORAGE WELCOME, NIT.

A new publication is about to ap- pear in Anchorage. This was known yesterday but pause was made be- fore announcing anything about it as there is always room for suspicion about the establishment of new publi- cations when the field is fully cover ed. Now the Gateway is in position to say that an agitation is about to be started that will do the country no good. The Gateway and other con- servative ones in Alaska, which have the interests of the workers at heart just as much as anyone, have drawn attention from time to time to wage and other questions connected with the railroad but there is always dan ger in the sheets that have neither the experience or ability to be news papers, and are compelled to live off the offal There ought to be law to license newspapers, like dogs. It would save the decent ones.-Seward Gateway.

RECEIVER APPOINTED FOR
 SELDOVIA SALMON co.

E. F. Randolph, manager of the Seldovia Salmon company has been appointed. receiver of that concern by Judge Brown after application for the appointment of a receiver was made by Lyons and Ritchie, the Val deg firm of attorneys. The immediate cause of the motion for the appoint ment of a receiver, apparently, was the filing of a suit for $10,O00 by the firm of Coon Dip & Company for the supply of labor. The total amount Of the indebtedness to the Chinese firm was over $15;OO0, of which $4,OOO was paid. The suit was filed through Lyons and Ritchie. E. F. Randolph, manager of the Salmon cannery, in an affidavit, states that the company Is indebted in the sum of $70,0OO and that a forced sale would not bring more than $50,OO0. The company was incorporated for $150,0O0 and MT. Randolph says mismanagement caused loss of $100,000. He took over the management in 1914. he states, and made profit that year.
 MT. Randolph also states in his af- fidavit that arrangements have been made through the large stockholders to meet the indebtedness in given time, and to re-organize the company on a paying basis, and they want to be assured of protection. All the stock expect three shares is owned by Ben Moyses and the estate of Juli- us Redelsheimer.

COAST SURVEY WORK
 TOUCHING NORTHLAND

Washington: The Coast survey bulletin just issued refers to the work in Alaska in several places. It gives a description of the contract for the Surveyor" as follows:
 "The contract for the construction of a new United States Coast and Geodetic Survey vessel has been awarded by Secretary of Commerce Redfield to the Manitowac Shipbuild- ing & Dry Dock Co.,, located on Lake Michigan, at Manitowac, Wis. The contract price was $189,OOO for the bare hull and machinery, but the ul- timate cost of the vessel fully equip ped will be $22O,0OO.
 The new vessel will be named the Surveyor and will be used in survey ing and charting the dangerous wa ters of western Alaska and the Aleu- tians, and Boring sea, and the coasts of Washington, Oregon and Califor- mia.
 The Surveyor will be steel steam CT of about 1000 tons displacement, with triple-expansion engines, and will use crude oil, as fuel. She will accommodate 66 officers and men and carry enough fuel and stores to stay at sea on 8 surveying cruise about three months at time without re- turning to her base of supplies.
 According to the terms of the con tract the Surveyor must be complet- ed within one year, but Vfce-Presi- dent West, of the Manitowac com pany, who came to Washington to consult with: the superintendent of the Coast Survey about the construc- tion of the vessel, says she will be finished in much less time, possibly as early as the first of next August, which will leave ample time to take the vessel to the Atlantic coast be- fore the close of navigation on the Great Lakes. It is hoped that she will reach the Pacific coast in time to do some surveying work during the winter season of 1916-17.
 A remarkable feature of the award of this contract lies in the fact that a shipbuilding company located on Lake Michigan should build an ocean going vessel destined for service in Alaska. This brings home the i'm portant commercial fact that after all the Great Lakes extending far into the interior of the American conti- nent, are for all practical purposes a part of the Atlantic ocean.

WHOLE WEEKS CELEBRATION
Descendants Of Old Spanish Settlers
Observed Christmas With Din
ners and Parties.

Among the descendants of the old
Spanish settlers we find that they OBJ
serve a week in the celebration of
Christmas. This begins one week be-
fore Christmas. In the daytime they
have dinners at each others homes,
and in the evenings they give series
or parties at the different houses. In
the evening the young folk go to the
home of one of their number and
knock. and then all begin to sing.
Those within the house ask, "Who is
there?" and the answer Is, "The Vir-
gin Mary and st. Joseph seek lodging
in your house" To carry out the BIZ
BILE story they are at first refused ad-
mittance. and then the door IS opened
wide and they are all given hearty
welcome.
On Christmas eve the old and
young all join together and have
big celebration. In a large hall they
fix up one side to represent the man
ger. and here they very solemnly give
q little play in which many take part,
the characters being Mary and Jo-
seph, the wise men, the shepherds
and the angels. This play is very real
to them. and they all play their parts
with reverent spirit.

described them like angels sounding
far up in the sky.
But the fact was that no one had
heard them ring for years and years.
There was an old man living not far
from the church who said that his
mother had spoken Of hearing them
when she was little girl, and he was
the only one who could say as much
as that. They were Christmas chimes,
you remember, and were not meant to
be played by men or on common oc-
casions.

come sounding through the music of
the choir the voices of the Christmas
Chimes far Up in the tower. Some
said the wind rang them and othere
that they were 80 high angels would
set them swinging. But for many long
years. as was said before, they had
never been heard. The minister said
that people had been growing less
careful OF their gifts for the Christ
child, or gave them rather to make a
display for their own honor than for
love Of him, so that no offering was
brought good enough to deserve the
music OF the chimes. Still, every
Christmas eve, the rich people of the
city crowded to the altar, each one
trying to give some better gift than
anyone else. and the church was filled
with those who thought that perhaps
the wonderful bells would ring again.
But, although the music was sweet
and the offerings were plenty, only
the ron7 OF the wind could be heard

self you found stone columns and dark
passageways and a grand entrance
leading to the main room of the
church. This room was so long that
one standing at the doorway could
scarcely see the other end, where the
choir and the minister sat near the
marble altar. At the farthest cor
ner was the organ, which was Sc loud
that when it began to play the people
far off could hear it.
The strangest thing about the whole
building was the wonderful chime OF
bells. There stood at one corner of
the church gray stone tower with
Ivy growing over it as far as one could
see. 1t was so high that it was only
in very fair weather that anyone

climbed the stones. and since the men
who built the church had been dead
for many hundreds OF years, everyone
had forgotten how high the tower was
supposed to be.
Now, all the wise people knew that
at the top Of the tower was a chime of
Christmas bells. They had hung there
ever since the church was finished and
were the most beautiful bells in the
world. Some thought it was because
a great musician had cast them and
arranged them in their place, and 9TH

heard the chimes denied that they
were the sweetest in the world Some
