the Government direct. In con
nection there are a number of
government employees, above
the grade of unskilled workmen,
but they must possess a civil
service status end place them
selves at point of duty station
at their own expense. Thus it
may be realized the impossib
ility of a Congressman being
able to aid an applicant to se
' cure work on the Boulder-Can

YAKUTAT
A snappy basketball game wa;
.played on May 1 between th(
Libby Spiders and the St. Elia:
Giacier Bugs—Libby cannerj
employees and residents of the
Gulf City. The Spiders took th(
tip-off and made the first twe
goals of the evening. On the
third tip-off, center Harry Jack
son of the Glacier Bugs, tipped
one into the hands of Captain
Bichard Reese who shot first
goal for the Bugs. Then the
Bugs, with the taste of a score
got into swing. Reese had an
eagle eye, steady nerve and the
vanning inspiration from the
start; Jackson and Oscar Smith
followed right behind their
leader in individual and team
work. For a change, Guards
George Bremner and Peter Har
ry dropped a few score into the
Spider’s web while they kept the
Spiders from making any scores.
In the second half, James Bar
tels, who had gone to Juneau,
got into the game at guard re
lieving Peter Harry but he seem -
ed to have lost his stride and
like the last legislature just
seemed unable to get into his
stride and a score was around
his side. Those high school
Spiders found it hard to keep
with the “ignorant” Alaskan
boys but they put up a fight and
showed themselves good, fast
players and good cle^n sports.
The Spiders were devoured by
‘he Glacier Bugs to the tune of
44 to 16.
The Libby and New England
tannery crews arrived recently.
Doth outfits are rusing prepara
tions for the coming season and
many local people are being em
ployed by the Libby people on

Johnnie Bremner, one of the
star Bug on the Elias Glacier
team, got his leg caught on the
shaft of the gasboat “Once
More,” pewered with a 20 horse
Gray. A big gash was made on
the shin and the shin bone was
fractured. Hewill be up and
hobbling about in a couple oi
weeks. This was a bad blow for
the A. N. B. “Friars” and the
whole of Yakutat.
The Diesel engine for the new
City Power, arrived on the Otse
go and will be installed as soon
as it is possible to do so.
Sam George was suddenly
taken ill and went by plane tc
Juneau for medical attention
Sam was A. N. B. president last
year and all of the folks are
hoping for his speedy return in
the best cf health.
The second series of games
between the Elias Glacier Bugs
and the A. N. B. Friars was won
by the Friars by a score of 4C
to 45. The Bugs held the lead
ah the way until Bremner, Jack
son and Reese were disqualified
Then, the leg power and wings
of the Bugs have been amputat
ed the Friars took the lead
“Tough luck, tough luck,” saitli
tne Raven.
The A. N. B. baseball team lost
the first game of the season tc
the Libby Can Openers. The
A. N. B. team, in the main made
up of second string played hare
and well but not good enough
Their pitcher, of little experi
ence pitched ’em high, low, close
MUR9K EnBBnHHBflaMMHH
in and way out, without avail
The Can Openers had their bat
ting eye and they showed more
practice than the Brothers.

called to make an accounting of
his Stewardship. The Lord as
suredly told Joseph, “Fear not;

goon forty years ago. Joseph Lee
has always lived here. He is
survived by his widow Mary Lee
and adopted son Mathew. lie
was a member of the Alaska Na
tive Brotherhood of which lie
was treasurer for many years.
He served as councilman for the
town; was an elder of the ’res -
bvterian Church. He was held
n high esteem as a public ser
vant or private citizen. The.
most glowing tribute paid him
was, “he w >s a true Christian
character. Hie life was unim
peachable and beyond any re
proach. ills l.fe reeded no
words of self-praise and he had
the love and respect of every
one who knew him. In his deal
ings with his fellow men, ho was
honest in every respect and be
cause of this virtue he was un
animously elected treasurer of
Angoon Camp No. 7. He will be
sorely missed by all his friends,
by all his fellow townsmen.
He stands before his maker and
as a good and faithful servant
he will receive his due reward.
Joseph Lee, hale and farewell !
T’ v your bodv rest in peace and
your spirit live on forever.

tribute, died in the Portlandj
Marine Hospital on the 2nd ofi
April and his body was shipped

Hall where his counsels were oft
listened to with.respect. Funer
al services were held Monday in
the Brotherhood Hall wher the
Salvation Army and the Greek
Orthodox and Presbyterian
churches all joined in loving
tribute of a departed brother
and friend.

ful time. The delegates were

son, Eli Katanook. Delegates!
for the Missionary Society were]
I Mrs. Emma Hamberg, Sophie |
Fred and Mrs. George Betts.
During convention week also]

Mi& Margaret Smith, primary
grade teacher in the Indian Bu
reau school was out for a stroll j
yesterday—it being a fine day
for that purpose. And as she
strolled up the road she was
seen to fondly embrace in her
ai ms something that she held'
most tenderly. Close scrutiny1
showed it to be a Siberian pup
py dog. Why the dog?
Sam Johnson who was sta
tioned in Hoonah for the past
several months in place of Rev.
Gcoige Beck, is back to Angoon
‘forever.” We are glad to have
him back “forever” or for even a
short while.
The town is deserted as all the
people have the spring fever and
they are out getting their gard
ens ready. In time of peace,
prepare for war, is an apt ex
pression for next winter is going
to be a winter of want and hun
ger. We do not expect that the
canners are going to give us a
Jot of work this summer so we
are going to show them that we
h'ved bofbre they came and we
will live in spite of them or just
to spite them. Other people are
cut trolling leaving only the
president of the A. N. B. and the
women folks at home.
