CHRISTMAS IN SIGHT

Christmas, the greatest festival of the year, is drawing near. This year it will be one of the most notable in Christendom. It will be one of par ticular significance to many on this continent
 Since last year the armies which went from this side of the world across seas in the great war have returned Hundreds of thousands who were not privileged to be at home last year, even though the armistice was signed, now are back and about the old fire sides. Many boys returning brought new partners in life and have estab- lshed new homes in the land. Count for the first time in years will many a family circle again be complete in ~ the season of good cheer.
 The Far North is not without req son for celebrating Christmas this year in right royal fashion. Christmas has a peculiar glamor in this region that it does not possess elsewhere. In few communities are the people more closely thrown together. Their de- sire to see that everyone of the com, munity is happy on that great day is proverbial and most laudable.
 Northerners also are not forgetful of those far away who are near and dear to them. Many remembrance is going out in the mails these days for places overseas. Many others will go to the far corners of this continent and many to midland sections ana the coast.

VOICE OF THE ALASKA PRESS

Fairbanks papers now report that a grouse walked into hardware store there. This is a sign of deep snow and a heavy crust. The grouse un- doubtedly came into the store to get tin bill-Hyder Miner.
 Seattle papers claim dealers in that city are mixing storage eggs with fresh eggs in an effort to fool the public. We believe the above to be a deliberate falsehood. We have never found a fresh egg in a ship ment yet-Valdez Miner.
 Many people here will be asked to join an organization soon that IS called "Amsricans.S The organizat tion is just what it's name signifies nothing more nor less. Sign up when the membership roll comes around Your American citizenship IS the greatest thing in your possession Don't be ashamed of it-Douglas

 And when you are thinking or max ing a trip to the states, just remember that war time restrictions are now m regarding the use of coal. These means that the theatres mentioned in the dispatches will be closed many industries will also be closed TOT the duration of the strike, and here III Alaska everything is going the same old way, you eat regular, attend the theatre. and everything. .-SeWaro Gateway.
 If is high time that some organ jed effort were made to rid the to"l of rats. Every building in the city Is swarming with the pests.

We have no oa's at hand relative to the loss ana Cal only judge by our own experiehce Aside from the monetary loss the puo lie health must be considered. These - rodents are carriers of disease germs and sonner or later we may nave cause to regret that we have made no attempt to exterminate the pests and sooner or later we may have with excellent results and are now al most free from the loss and menace to the public health occasioned bJ the presence of the rodents.
