Plans FOR HOLDING
MIDWINTER CARNIVAL
MEETING With SUCCESS

There is movement ON foot i'm Seward to hold md
winter Carnival this wiuter beginning the celebration on
Christmas Eve and lasting through the week, closing on
New Years Night While plans are not yet completed
many suggestions have been talked over and is the m
tenton to call citizens mass meeting at some date IN
the near future to appoint committees having the yar
Gus features In charge and thus by taking affairs IN hand
at this early date Get everything running smoothly.
Ata little informal meeting held yesterday the sug
gestions were that real 1idwner Carnival be staged
Tor seven days and winding up i'm blaze OF glory on New
Years Night with monster carnival and confetti throw
ing and grand bal masQue.
1t has been suggested that winter Mountain Mara
thon be held dog races ski races snow shoe races and
skating races In fact taking i'm all winter sports. Fur
Their it was suggested that day each be turned over to
the Masonic Elk Moose Forester and Arctic Brother
hood lodges to have full and complete charge of that days
sports and entertainments and that Seward Day, and
Anchorage Day. and q Sourdough Alaskan Day be held
under the MANAGEMENT of the Pioneers of Alaska.
1t is thought that by taking the matter up with the
Alaska Bureau of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce a
great deal of Outside publicity may be obtained and an ef
fort will be made to get excursion from both Cordoya
and Valdez as well as intermediate points. The Alaskan
Engineering Commission will be approached and an et-
fort made to get good daily train service between Sew
ard and the end of the line to accommodate the Anchor
age crowds and was further suggested that suitable
prize be offered for the first lady driving dog team from
Anchorage to Seward prize for the fastest trip made by
dog team over the route and all of these details
will be worked out later
At this time there is always large crowd Of Interior
folk ON the trail and they viii all make special effort
to get in in time to take part in the carnival 1t is hoped
that the business houses of Seward take kindly to the
pIan as it comes at a time when all hands like to break
loose and celebrate bt and will provide bright spot in
the winters abors AS soon the call is made let every
man in Seward turn to and help make big success of our
