NATIONAL FETE
DAY PROGRAM
FOR FRANCE
PARIS, May 22 (by Associated
Press).—France's national fete day,
the fourteenth of July, will witness
scenes of patriotic fervor probably un
paralleled in the history of the re
public, for that is the date provision
ally agreed upon as most appropriate
for the grand march of the victorious
French army through the streets of
the capital.
The program is already beginning
to assume definite shape. The route
will be from the Porte Maillot, at the
main entrance to the Bois de Bou
logne. through the Arc de Triumphe,
along the Avenue des Champs
Elysees, the Place de la Goncorde and
the Rue de Rivoli to the Place de la
Republique; a distance of some eight
miles. ,
The general outlines of the scheme
of decorations have been arranged by
a body called the French Federation
of Mobilized Artists of the War 1.914
1918, and a festival committee of for
ty. annotated bv M. Caferre. minister
of public instruction, has approved
the scheme submitted.
At the Porte Maillot, between huge
pylons, tribunes will be erected where
the city fathers will welcome the
heroes of Verdun and the Marne.
Along the Avenue de la Grande Ar
mee, decorative plaques will commem
orate battles, the names of which are
household words throughout the
world.
No superfluous decoration will mar
the architectuarl beauty of the Arc
de Triumphe, but the vast circus
where twelve noble avenues converge
will be made into one vast amphithea
tre for thousands of spectators.
Decked with a profusion of flowers
and flags, the Avenue des Champs
Elysees will no doubt offer a magnifi
cent spectacle. A monument repre
senting the league of nations, symbol
izing Victory and Peace, will be erect
ed on the Terrasse des Feuillants,
while halfway, at the Rond Point, an
other monument will recall the glor
ious dead, resurrected and joining in
the triumph of the living.
The Luxor obelisk on the Place de
la Concorde will form the center of
an immense decorative scheme ex
tending to the famous statues repre
senting the chief cities of France.
The decoration of the other streets
through which the pageant will pass,
will be left in the hands of the auth
orities of the different city wards.
Regret is felt in some quarters that
by July so many of the actual partici
pants in the great battles will have
been demobilized. This will, however,
not detract from the fervent homage
that will be paid to the colors of the
famous French regiments w'hich cov
ered themselves with glory.
EARLY RESIDENTS OF
ALASKA HAD TASTE
OF PROHIBITION WAVE
Many Alaskans who look forward
to a visit to the States at some early
date and before general prohibition
goes into effect will be able to sym
pathize with the early Russian resi
dents of Alaska. By the charter of
1844 the Russian American Company
the supreme power in Russian Amer
ica, was forbidden to sell fiearms,
ammunition and spirituous liquor to
the natives. And this prohibition,
according to Bancroft, was followed
by an order from the governor that no
intoxicating drink should be sold in
the colonies.
It is related that when this order
was read to the servants of the com
pany many of them shed tears. The
temperance cause had but few advo
cates in Russian America. One of
the men, Markof, who in 1845, sailed
from Novo Arkangelsk (Sitka) for
San Francisco, thus relates his ex
perience :
“How easily and willingly the labor
of getting the ship under way was
performed. Each sailor had in his
mind that he could enjoy himself for
his trouble in the first tap-room in
California. In the evening we could
see only the outlines of our former
home, traced in black, indistinct
shapes against the darkening sky.
‘The devil must have planted these
sea-otters in these out of the way re
gions,” said one of the sailors. ‘As
far as we can see land up and down
the coast not a single rum shop is to
be found.’
“ ‘Yes, answered another, “but I
remember Father Baranof. There was
a time when a camp kettle was set
out, brimming full, and he would
shout, ‘Drink, children, and he would
himself join in merry song. Those
were better days,’ continued he with
his eyes fixed on the waning land;
‘but now, what times we have? We
can do nothing but work, and when
that is done we promenade, or smoke
in the barrack. What a life!'
“ You see,’ replied his comrade, ‘in
this country we all have to join the
temperance society.’
“ ‘What is that?’
“‘I don’t know exactly; it is some
kind of a sect. I belonged to it once
but it is so long ago that I forget; I
can make no reckoning of time when
I get no drinks to count by; but I
remember we all had to pay a beaver
skin apiece.’
“ ‘That is a big price to pay for the
privilege of drinking nothing but
water. I’ll have nothing to do with
such a sect. There was that German
Muiokof. He joined the sect and in
a few weeks he was dead. God knows
where' he is now. I don’t think there
is much room for Dutchmen in heav
en; so many Russians go there.’’’
Markof adds that on reaching San
Francisco the first bulding they en
tered was a drinking place kept by
one of Napoleon’s veterans who had
served in the campaign of 1812.

SOLOMON NATIVE CAPTURES
POLAR BEAR CUBS IN SNOW
A recent arrival in Nenana from
the Nome district brings word of the
capture of two polar bear cubs near
Solomon by a native. The native who
was out hunting, drove his sled right
over the cubs which were buried in
the snow and made an awful fuss
over being disturbed and the native
promptly nabbed them.
He hard hardly got them into his
sled when the mother bear appeared
and charged right up to the sled be
fore she fell dead riddled with bullets
from the native’s rifle. He loaded
the carcass on the sled and made for
Nome where the weight of the dressed
animal was found to be 800 pounds.
Solomon is a fairly large size town
abbut 35 miles distant in a southerly
direction along the coast from Nome.

THROUGH our Family Laundry
Service we will take your entire
washing out of the home and return
it spotlessly clean. The flat pieces,
| such as bed and table linen, towels, hand- i$
kerchiefs and the like, are immaculately
ironed. The others are starched so that
you can finish them at your leisure.
Then, too, you have the satisfaction of
knowing that your clothes are laundered
far better than you could do them.
The softest of water, the purest of soap,
gentle sousing instead of violent rubbing,
and numerous rinsings, all make for
clothes that are whiter and cleaner than
could possibly result from home methods.
And the expert finish, smooth and velvety,
will appeal to you. *
| Let Us Relieve You J
of all your wash-day troubles. Spend time
more profitably. Just bundle your clothes
and our man will call for and return them
at a definite time each week. The cost
| of this service is so low that home washing
is no longer justified.
