 TIE FRE|GHT ID TOWN

'T never knew there were hohoes in Alaska" said Robert Frothingham last evening aiming his remarks at a bunch of trampy looking ginks who swung off the freight last night. Con- slider his astonishment when he dis covered his observations were way off that instead of being a bunch of buns they were the seventh and eight grades returning from spending the annual school picnic at Wood row. ..... <
 The children had intended to re- turn in style, on the Flyer" the reg ular passenger train but on account of the train pumping a COW off the track or stopping North of Anchor age to pick up barrel of something, delaying it for a day, they either had to hike into town or make connections with the freight. They enjoyed it, too.
 Taking everything by and large it was voted a big day.

EARLIER CHRISTMAS

Merchants and Manufacturers
Head Gives o. K. to Action
of Local Merchants.

Approval of the action of local mer-
chants in placing their holiday mer-
chandise on display earlier this year
than usual in order to facilitate early
Christmas shopping, was voiced today
by Gen. Anton Stephan, president of

sociation.
The growth of the early Christmas
shopping idea is matter of real i'm
portance to the entire country and
should be encouraged in every way, he
said
The old custom which prevailed in
this country of universally postponing
Christmas shopping until a week or 10
days before the holiday. threw a serious
overload on the entire industrial ma
chinery," Gen Stephan said.

day sales reaching a sudden peak, the
