KIDS REJOICE!
TOMORROW BIG
HOLIDAY DATE
Acting Governor Thiele
Sends Glad Tidings of
the Great Joy.
There will be no school tomorrow,
in observance of Seward Day,—in
honor of the memory of William H.
Seward, the great Secretary of State
under President Abraham Lincoln,
who brought about the purchase of
Alaska from Russian and withstood
the gibes and criticism of short
sighted men who thought Alaska was
an iceberg.
March *30 is now a legal holiday in
the Territory of Alaska. All offices
and schools will be closed.
The “glad tidings of great joy,” as
the children regard, came today from
Acting Governor Carl Thiele at Ju
neau.
The anniversary was not observed
last year, due to lack of arrangements,
but it is now a redletter date and es
tablished custom.
