ARMIST|CE DAY DANCE:
 INAs NELL ATTENDED

One of Stewards largest dance crowds attended the Armistice Day dance given this year by the Seward Rebekah Lodge in the I. IO. Q. Y. Hall. Dancing began at an early hour and was continued until the early hours of this morning.
 There were a number of special features at this dance including decorations commemorative of Armistice Day, United States and Alaska Flags. Then there were the special lighting effects which had been arranged by the hall elec- tricians, which threw green hued beam of light down one side of the hall and bluish colored beam down thru the dancers on the other side.
 Music was furnished by the Jolly Three Dance Orchestra. The orchestra was really the Jolly Four orchestra as stringed in strument had been added to the regular instruments.
 The special feature of the dance was the awarding of turkey as a door prize Delorne Balch was the little girl who was chosen to draw the winning number for the award of the turkey, Three tick cts were drawn out and the third number was the winning number.
 The numbers drawn were num- Der 196, 167, and 218. The latter number being the winning num- Der was held by Mrs. q. C Lake.

 Friends in the States keep Alas kanS on the go continuously; 50 much So that the days pass by with great rapidity and one is actually tired of 1t all and only too glad to get back home again and rest up a bit.
 There is no question about there being revolved interest in things pertinent to Alaska and everywhere the writer was invited to address gatherings: in most instances, these Invitations were accepted as it meant two things: First, that of enlightening the multitudes on the real Alaska; secondly, it meant a free meal which was, we were in formed, in tune with the alleged hard times.
 There is the same wild furore in the States as in the days of yore; the incessant beating of tin cans and drums. plenty of jazz!

 The folks in the States are in quisitive about Alaska but the gen. eral impression was that whatever they were informed of went in one ear and out the other; most of the interest appeared to be superficial and quickly forgotten with prob ably one exception, that of mining. There is no doubt about there being renewed interest in Alaska mining affairs and those who know some thing about the Territory sincerely felt the coming years will see in tense development along this line.
