JFNEAU CAMF BUILDING
A NEW HOME
(Special to the Alaskan by
Frank G. Johnson
; Quietly, almost stealthily. the
Juneau Camp of the Alaska Na
tive Brotherhood has been busy
working on their new hall which
! is to occupy the same site on
Willouhby Avenue. Frank Mer
cer, the President, told me that
the main floor is to be 70x40
and that at the front end will
he two lodge rooms—one for the
Sisterhood and another of the
same size for the Brotherhood,
while on the second floor will be
one large room for a banquet
hall.
At the rear end will be two
rest rooms and the Juneau Camn
>s working to build such a hall
as will make any camp proud,
their primary, object being to be
able to entertain their friends
and to be a credit to the A. N. B.
There is a most cordial spirit
of cooperation as the work goes
on under the supervision of
President Frank Mercer and the
Building Committee which con
sist of James Clarke, Chairman;
Dave Willard; James Jackson;
Jack Gamble. As the Christmas
was approaching there was a
lot of overtime work being done
in an effort to put some program
on at the hall on Christmas day.
Too much credit cannot be
given the Sisterhood who have
unselfishly given of their time
in serving meals to the workers
every working day. Mary Wat
son with her committee consist
ing of Elsie Jack, Mrs Smith,
Mrs. Martin, Mrs. Clarke and
Mrs. Gamble, have been espe
cially of great help.
The Juneau people are under
taking a large venture in such
times as we are going through,
but I was surprised at the en
■ \
thusiasm shown at the meeting
held on the evening of the 16th.
There was a lively discussion of
I the business as they came up and
the meeting got a substantial
encouragement from the Sister
hood in offering to furnish the
! furniture for their room and to
I help pay for the light bill.
The building as a whole will
be 40x98x22 and is to be the
, community center for members
of the camp and their friends.
The brothers have been so busy
that they have not had time to
tell the rest about it; they pre
fer to do the work and let others
see them as they are.
All of the work is to be done
oy the members, except that of
wiring which must be passed
upon by city officials and will
therefore, be done under the su
pervision of an expert electri
cian.

The change of weather is caus
ing a lot of sickness, there being
two feet of snow one night onl”
to melt away the next day by
heavy wind and rain. The gov
erment teacher is busy visiting
the sick people with what little
medicine she has on hand, be
sides teaching school.
For this reason Klukwan de
mands an experienced nurse.
A few days ago there was a
big snow slide below Klukwan
the slide being about 30 feet high
and 100 feet wide, the next day
30 men went down and shoveled
the snow off the highway in or
der to keep it open, in case o:
emergency.

HOONAH
-x
For a number of years the
government of Hoonah has been
under the legislative act permit
ting government by council. Now
that law is no longer in force
and it appears that there will be
no remedy so the control of the
[town has been delegated to the
Brotherhood and under its di
rection, officers have been ap
pointed to handle the Hoonah
Hydro Electric Power Plant. The
foundation for the power house
was completed lasfweek and the
big turbine was hauled nn to the
power site, a distance of three
miles from the beach, bv hand.
So it won’t be long now when we
will have plenty of light on the
subject in Hocnah.
There is a determination to
make and improve the town in
"very way. And every one is
showing a fine spirit of coopera
tion so that this year will mark
great progress in our community.
The recent elections in the
Brotherhood put in office the
following officers: President,
-Tames Grant; vice president.
Oscar Osborne; recording secre
tary, Jim McKinley; correspond
ing secretary, Robert J. Grant;
financial secretary, David Charl
es treasurer Frank O. Williams;
Sgt -at-Arms, Peter Williams.
Most of these men are new in
office but we are looking forward
to much, progress under then
leadership.

All of the games were well play
ed. That they were hard fougnt
games is very evident by the
scores. The victors won by a very
small margin in each game. Ac
cording to the spectators the
teams were the most evenly
matched bunch of players they
nad ever seen play in one tour

winning the Senior Division
Championship.
A dance was given by Haines
High School as a fitting climax
of the tournament. Douglas and
Juneau players, were also guests
at the Christmas program given
by the Students of Haines High
School at the School House on
the 19th.
Haines Hi is not totally dis
heartened by their defeat and
may show up in Douglas some
time and try for the Champion
ship.
The Tournament was a success
all around. The hall was filled to
capacity at each game.
Quite contrary to the usual
weather at this time, Haines is
enjoying real spring weather.
There is no snow on the ground
at this writing. The children are
wondering wether it is Christmas
cr Fourth of July. May the good
weather last.
