With pleasure*. of the White- '
horse celebration sail fresh in the
Bffflon of a mvor port 10a of
Skagwayans. and the Fourth e July
less than thin* days distant, it is
time that the various coamiuees
urpesi by the to* a council to tv ap
pointed by the various fraternal
societies lose bo time in fretting j
together and formulating plans for
the joyous event.
There is an enormous amount of ?
work to be done, and it takes time
to do it, besides which there arej
invitations to be s*ut out to ourj
sister towns, and these should be
sent *000, so that the invited ones1
may not have an excuse of "some
previous engagement '
Sk*gw x\ has always been for^- j
most in the ranks as a host at this j
tune of the year, and every resi- '
dent should do his utmost to make
the 1J12 celebration a success j
Money makes the wheels go round,
and it is usually the sub-committee
on finances that has to stand the
brunt of the fight. If every resi
dent and business house will be ;
cheerful in their act of donating !
this year, the entire committee will!
work with greater energy and pleas
ure. and the certainty of a success
ful celebration w ill be assured

THE AMERICAN FLAG.
It* Sta- Srangled Cantcn I* a Union.
Net a Un>en Jack.
Tbose who speak of the star span
fW canton on the American flag as a
"union Jack" do so erroneously. It is [
righty called tlie "union." hut the term
"jack"" ts applied correctly only to the
similar canton on the British ensign.
In which the crosses of St George. St. ;
Andrew and St Patrick are superim- :
posed.
The number of stars In the union of j
eur f ac is regulated by the law passed
April 4. ISIS. which provides:
"That on the admission of every new
state into the Union one star shall he
added to the urion of the flap and that
such addition shall take effect on the!
4th of July nest succeeding snch ad
mission."
The Marine Journal says that the
origin of the phrase union .lack Is nn
certain, hut that "the weicht of evi
dence is to the effect that it was de
rived from Jacques or Jacobus, the
Frcn and I-atin names of the Stnart
kirg. in w hose reicn the superimposed
cr>vt?c? of St. George and St Andrew
were pia^i in the canton of the Brit
ish f"c to Indicate the union of Kng
!*rd a : d Scotland In that gene-ally
accepted view of the case the name
appropriately he tones to that part of
the British fine, hut it Is a misnomer
to apply It to the canton of the Ameri
can fig. with which "Jacobus Ret' cor
talnly hfd nothing to do unless s'nv
ply to set the example of placing a uu
?on err hem on the canton."
