TREES TO BE NAMED
AFTER NEVADA HEROES
RENO, Nev., Feb. 3 (by Associated
Press).—Measures introduced during
the coming session of the Nevada leg
islature will provide for some lasting
memorial to the state’s soldier and
sailor dead, who fell during the war
with the central powers. Several
members of the legislature are inter
ested in the movement as is Governor
Boyle. Those members of the legis
lature who have expressed them
selves on the subject favor the erec
tion of a suitable monument at tne
state capital on which will be inscrib
ed the names of the men who died in
the service together with the dates
of their death.
Arbor Day, hitherto a holiday with
but little significance in Nevada, is
likely to become an important date in
the state’s history. Plans already are
on foot for a general tree-planting to
be participated in by the state offi
cials at which trees will be named
after Nevada’s hero dead.

MISSIONARIES PROUD OF
PATRIOTIC ABORIGINE
America’s call to arms during the
war met with no heartier response
than from the residents of Alaska, and
among these none was more eager to
serve than George W. Porter, a native
resident of white and Eskimo parent
age, born in the Arctic regions, says
a dispatch from Juneau.
A letter from Porter to Rev. J. T.
McQueen, superintendent of missions
in Alaska for the Methodist church,
indicates the fruits the labors of mis
sionares in the North are bearing.
Porter was educated at the Jesse Lee
home at Unalaska, and his zeal to
serve “for your land and my land,”
as he wrote, soon won him a corporal
ship in the army. He served in Com
pany E of an engineers’ regiment at
Camp Humphrey, Va., and in his let
ter he wrote:
“I joined the army myself; I was
not drafted. 1 just got in myself, so
I can help others now in France. I
am going next Monday—that will be
the 23d of September. I am willing
to go, too. My goodness! I am going
to fight hard.”
What became of Corporal Porter in
the maelstrom of human passions
raging in France has not been learned,
but missionaries of the North are
proud that the lessons of patriotism
they have been teaching have been
rewarded in the type of men like
Porter.
