The new officers have been
baptized in a spirit of deter

carry on using every effort to
develop the best that there is in

development in order to bring
forth competent, Christian citi
zens.
The officers were installed the
same evening—the ceremony
opening with the Brotherhood
Battle Hymn played by the or
chestra while the officers were
being lined up. There was a
strong feeling present which
brought tears to the eyes of
many—a willingness on the par
of each officer to carry on even
to the point of death if need be
and that spirit and determina
tion gripped each person pre
sent in the hall.
T. M. Italio, out-going presi
dent made a farewell speech and

: The officers are: President, Miss
j Mable Friday; vice president,

heavy demand for Constitutions
end a clamour for charters by
i these junior organizations,
i The concert given by -the
I Salvation Army Band was a real
tieat. All the numbers were v’cll
jeceived. If prizes were being a
warded it no doubt would have
gone to Bob Thomas and hi? Re
cruit Band, which band is made
up of school boys, with the ex
ception of Walter Williams, who
tooted the bass horn. We are not
j afraid to say we have the
ibest Salvation Army Band in
Alaska.. This Band is making a
j trip to Klawock.
| The Hoonah A. N. B. basket,
j ball tossers are expected here
j anytime. We expect a good game
| as Hoonah has a fast team,
i We’re looking for you, Hoonah!
The good ship Princeton, Rev
! Swanson was a visitor here,
coming from Angoon.
Chas. Wilson and family ar
rived here Saturday evening,"
j they expect to return to Peters
! burg in a few days.
The coast guard cutter Talla
| poosa, paid us a brief visit, Sun
4 day. She returned to the capital^
j city from here.
Last week the wheel of the
mailboat, Pacific, caught an
1 anchor line, belonging to Chas.
| S. Johnson, cutting it into. The
! captain surprised Charlie this
week with a brand new anchor
line. This is one reason why a
j breakwater is in much need. As
it is, it is impossible to build a
dock.
Miss Ruth Snowden, who has
been under the weather for
some time, is up and around
again.
The “Keku Kommunity,” an
organization, made up of school
children, which was organized
last year, is again active with
j the following officers: Mayor,
|David Joseph; clerk,Mable Fri
day; magistrate, Ronald Bean:
treasurer, Martha Newton;

The Saxman A. N. B. team
were a surprise and welcome
visitors on the 6th of the month
—ten in the party including
the crew, of the Golden North,
Dali team and visitors.
The visitors were handicapped
by hard travel and were defeat
ed in a fast game to the tune of J
66 to 18. James Pete, ex-Kake
star, refereed the first half and
Bob Harris, Saxman manager,
winding up the game with the
whistle. Ed Pederson and Paul
Johnny played stellar game
with Commodore Aubrey Sha
Qeanie and Morris Grant doing
the honors for Kake.
Kake Day, the 7th, the visitors
were entertained and the oc
casion remembered in a fitting
manner. Pat Cooday, one of the
organizers of our city govern
ment, gave a graphic and touch
ing description of the early
trials and tribulations of these
good people and their aims and
aspirations are in reality a
challenge to the younger gen
eration now in authority.
Charles Skeek, another promi
nent in the organization of the
town, was called upon and he
stressed the wonderful work and
influehce of Rev. George Beck,
now cf Ketchikan, and other
early missioners and their de
\ otion to the work to which they
had been called. Capt. Charles
Newton, perhaps the most loved
officers of the Salvation Army,
interpreted the several speeches
and gave some definite dates
and cited various documents
still in his possession relative to
the organization of the city
government of Kake.
Mr. Ernest Kirberger, present,
day merchant and postmaster
was the first commissioner; the
first council was organized in
1914 without legal recognition
upon the advice of Mr. Bert
Faulkner, Juneau attorney, then
U. S. Marshal. Charles Edwards,
missioner under the Friends
Church was murdered by the
captain of a rumboat—now
known as “bootlegger” for in
lerfering with the demoralizing
trade which he was carrying or.
among the people of Kake
Charles Edwards, Rev. Moon and
Rev. Beck are considered the
outstanding men whose charac
ters have put their impress upon
the entire village through their
labors of devotion. Charles Gun
nock was the first elected mayor
cf the town; Mrs. Belle Newton j
then but a young girl, already j
had developed a strong leader
ship, was selected to drive the
silver spike in the newly con
structed board street—now
known as “Silver Street.” The
fire of four years ago destroyed
much of the town but none of
the spirit of the people for todav
progress is being made despite
the severe handicaps of the de
structive salmon trap system
which keeps our people in
poverty.

the director and Miss Laura
Hudson and Herbert J. Murchi
|son sang solos during the pro
gram.

KLUKWAN
-X
The town of Klukwan has
been trying to get a peep out
over the snow which is now over
five feet deep but it is not so
|«2asy to find the old sun. Dan
Katzeek, the mail carrier has
teen unable to make regular
trips to Haines for the mail as
tile snow is pretty soft. After
several hard puffs of the out
North wind, the trail became
hard enough for a team to mush
over to Haines. The automibiles
are now rusticating in sheds,
garages, etc.
During the absence of Eddie
Warne, Haines DeWitt is acting
chairman of the Klukwan Camp
of the A. N. B.
Gus Klaney was arrested
some time ago for having too
many goats in his possession. He
had six goats. But Klaney hap
pened to be out with one of the
officers from the U. S. Army at
Cnilkoot Barracks and each was
entitled to three goats. Gus ap
peared before the Haines com
missioner and proved that three
of the goats belonged to the of
ficer so was cleared without
Question. A few weeks later, Gus
saw a man interested in his case,
coming down the trail from
Tukheen where Gus and the
cfficer had gotten their goats.
Gus hailed the man at Mile I >
Camp and asked “How many
goats have you.” The answer
was, “Four.” Strange that it was
unlawful for Gus to have more
than three goats in his posses
sion while it was legal for the
other fellow to have four which
is one more than the lav/ allows.
We just don’t understand the
law up here or else there is one
law for the white hunter and
another for the Indian.

JUNEAU

The Old Indian costume and
custom dance, recently given in
the A. N. . hall was well attended
by many of Juneau’s elite. The
affair was a complete success
from every angle. The costumes
were loaned by the old people of
Juneau and were much appre
ciated by the A. N. B. The oM
people also who took part in the
dance, insured its success. James
Clark and Jim Booth managed
the affair.
The Hoonah Basketball team
and orchestra are coming this
way and it is reported that they
aie also going to go as far south
as Kake. They will be given a
royal welcome.
A snowslide on the Thane
road has blocked off 250 feet of
the road way—the mass being
250 by 12 feet high and 15 feet
wide—2500 cubic feet of dirt to
be removed at a cost of about
$5,000.
