SEATTLE DISAPPOINTS JUNEAU
The refusal of the Seattle Cham
ber of Commerce to grant Juneau's
request that it endorse the appeal
of that City to the Secretary of the
Interior to postpone the order clos
ing the Juneau Land Office until
after the President and the Secre
tary of the Interior can view the
situation on the ground was neither
in the opion of the Juneau Empire
neither gracious nor wise. It would
be different points out the Empire
if Juneau were attempting to stop
Anchorage from having a Land of
fice. She frankly admits that such
an office is needed there, though
the need is not so great as that for
on office at Juneau. All Juneau asks
for is that her Land Office be per
mitted to remain where it is. In
support of the reasonableness of its
position it has cited the fact that
more Land Office business orogin
ates in Southeastern Alaska than
ail the rest of the Territory combin
ed and the further fact that Anch
orage could be attached to the Fair
banks District until a more satis
factory arrangement could be se
cured with less disturbance to busi
ness than would follow the closing
of the Juneau office. •
The Seattle Chamber of Com
merce went a long way to tortue
this situation into an intra-Territor
ial controversy. Juneau urged a
course that would give everybody a
square deal. The Seattle Chamber
of Commerce is willing that a large
section of Alaska should be punished
On the other hand Juneau will
not soon forget the readiness and
eagerness with which San Francisco
and Spokane came to her assistance
•when the matter was put up to
them in the same manner that it
was submitted to Seattle.
CHILDREN MEET SATURDAY
TO PREPARE FOR PROGRAM
The young folks of Nenana, both
boys and girls, are asked to meet
at the school house on Saturday af
ternoon at one o’clock to make pre
porations for their participation in
the Fourth of July program. The
meeting has been called by Mrs. A.
B. Phillips and Mrs. W. C. Stein
metz who were appointed by the
Celebration committee to look after
the patriotic- end of the program,
and they want every boy and girl
in Nenana to attend the meeting on
Saturday.
A meeting was to have been held
this morning but only about a dozen
children made their appearance, and
it was decided to make another ef
fort later in the week to get the
young people together.
The children’s exercises can be
made a most attractive part of the
celebration program if the children
will take sufficient interest.
[AIRPLANE REACHES NENANA;
WILL FLY HERE ON FOURTH
The much-delayed airplane, which
was ordered many months ago by
several enterprising citizens of Fair
banks for general use in Interior
Alaska, arrived from the coast on
yesterday’s train, enroute to Fair
banks where it will be assembled
and tested for its initial appearance
at Nenana in aerial stunts during
the fourth of July celebrtion. The
machine was met on the coast and
brought to the Interior by Carl
B. Eileson, aerial ace, who will op
erate the plane and who arranged the
final details of his Nenana exhibi
tion flight during his brief stay in
town yesterday. Mr. Eileson visited
i the new aviation field and pronounc
ed it satisfactory in every respect
as far as his plane is concerned,
but suggested that enlargement of
the boundaries might be advisable
for the accomodation of other planes
that might visit the Interior.
It is the intention of Prof. Eilson
to assemble the plane in Fairbanks
and make a flight to Nenana be
fore the Fourth, probably on July
third, and his aerial stunting Is
scheduled for July fifth, in connec
tion with the roping exhibition of
Jane Bernoudv, rodeo queen, who is
coming from the coast to take part
in the Nenana celebration program.
Prof. Eileson states that he pro
bably will remain in the air fully
an hour, during which time he will
put his plane through all the stunts
known to airmen, from tail spin to
nose dive. His will be the first ex
hibition of the kind seen in Alaska,
and there is reason to believe it
will equal any aeriel performance
ever staged in the States. Mr. Eile
son is a fearless flier and has had
flying experience in all sections of
the country and under varying con
ditions.
The new motor is a Curtis, with
a Hispano-Sulza motor, and a Cur
tis motor is being brought in also,
together with a large quantity of
other necessary equipment and sup
plies.
The city has the new concrete rol
ler at work on the aviation field to
day, West Keefe and his team be
; ing engaged in smoothing and paek
I ing the big park, and it is expected
that by the end of the week the
; ground will be as hard and smooth
as a board walk.
NORTHBOUND TRAIN SATURDAY
The southbound train from Fair
banks will reach Nenana as usual
: tomorrow, and proceed to the coast
according to schedule, but there iwll
be no train from the coast until
Saturday owing to the delay in get
ting the last train started throurh
the canyon. All trains will run ac
1 cording to the schedule next wewek.

FORMER GERMAN PRINCE
STIRS IRE OF SOCIALISTS
- I
BERLIN, June 28—Prince Eitel
Friedrich, the second son of ex-em
peror Wilhelm II of Germany, has
recently created a number of new
Knight* of Honor in the Order of
St. John, of which he is supreme
commander for Brandenburg pro
vince and has thereby created as
well as the usual annual uproar a
mong the socialists.
There are several angles about
this yearly action of the prince that
the German radicals do not like
altho they do not express any fund
amental objections to the original
organization itself, which dates back
to the sixteenth-century days of
Gregory the Great in Jerusalem.
In the first place, with the Hohen-.
zollems in the discard, the socialists
disapprove of Eitel’s action in still
issuing high-toned parchment pro- j
clamations creating Knights of St.
John which pretentiously start off
with: “We. Wilhelm Eitel Friedrich
Christian Karl. Prince of Prussia
by the Grace of God." etc.
Secondly, the socialists regard
“as monarchistic masquerading," the
annual ceremony of knighting, with
its flowing robes and plume-crested
hats.
Yet capping the climax in the rad- ,
ical's eyes is the fact that the new
knights include not only officers of
the old monarchial army but even
members of republican Germany’s
new Reichswehr and Security police
Vorwaerts, the socialists’ official
newspaper, declares Eitel has creat
ed at lest 233 knights this year. 35
of whom belong to the new army
and navy.
The Order of St. John is said to
be continuing its extensive charit
able activities throughout Germany.
Before the war it had established
nearly half a hundred hospitals ill
this country besides two abroad.
SHEEP FED ON SCREENINGS
MAKE MONEY FOR OWNERS
FORT WILLIAMS, June 26—;
The feeding of western sheep and
cattle on the screenings from the
big elevators at the head-of-the
lakes has been carried on success
fully during the past winter. The
animals are brought here from the
prairie provinces and finished for
shipment to eastern markets.
This plan was inaugurated by R.
C. Harvey, an Alberta sheep ran
cher, two years ago. In 1921 he
wintered some 6.000 sheep. The
railways granted him a through rate
to eastern Canadian points with
n^n- stop priveleges. The sheep
were fed on a diet consisting of
screenings, mixed with an allow
ance of hay. After being fed for
the winter months on this concen
trated ration, the animals showed
a very profitable increase and were
reloaded for eastern markets.
Last winter Mr. Harvey wintered
and fed more than 10,000 sheep.
The experimental stage is over, and
a saving of thousands of dollars an
nually is expected to result from
this new scheme.
Fatening of cattle on the eleva
tor screenings was tried out dur
ing the past winter with gratifying
results. There is practically an in
exhaustible supply of the screenings
at the head of the lakes, and the
wintering of cattle, as well as sheep
will probably be carrned on exten
sively next winter.
C. X. Christensen, who recently
disposed of his transfer business to
Geqrge Hupprich, has tendered his
resignation as a member of the city
council, to which office he was elect
ed last April. The resignation was
accepted at the regular meeting of
the council on Tuesday night, but
the matter of electing another al
derman to fill the vacancy was de
ferred until the next or some other
future meeting.
The cabin of Hans Hanson, in the
upper end of town, was raided by
Deputy Marshal James Hagan, Pro
hibition Officer H. E. Seneff and
Special Agent William Butler last
evening, and a considerable quantity
of home brew confiscated.
:OUNCIL WILL USE ARCH
FOR SEASONAL WELCOMES
The big arch of welcome, which
vas first used by the city on the
>ccasion of the visit of Governor
Scott C. Bone two years ago, and
igain last summer, in connection
svith the Fourth of July splendor,
:he city council having voted at the
regular meeting on Tuesday night
Lo have the arch erected immediately
for use during the celebration and
»lso on the occasion of the visit of
President Harding and the Brooklyn
Eagle party.
The main pillars of the arch were
placer in position today by Contract
or Charles E. Bergman and the con
necting framework and green bough
covering will follow as rapidly as
the work can be done. The arch
will span A street just beyond the
postoffice, a; the extreme southerly
end of the main business section of
the city. The location selected has
small fire risk, and permits an un
obstructed view of the arch from
the depot and waterfront and from
all points along the street.
The council will leave the gener- j
al decorating of the city for the
Fourth of July celebration to the
various business houses, but it is
probable the aldermen will take an
active part in dolling up the city
for the reception of the Presidential '■
party. In this connection the council j
requests that property owners be
gin immediately to put their prem- j
ises in order so that there will be j
no trash to be disposed of when the *
rush of decorating starts.
POVERTY, FORCES REICHSTAG
TO SPARE MONARCH’S STATUE
BERLIN', June * 26—Despite the ;
protests of radicals. Wilhelm the
First’s great marble statue will con
tinue to grace the center of the
Reichstag lobby, a place of honor
under the rotunda analagous to that
occupied by America’s Unknown Sol
dier at the time of his funeral in
Washington. It would cost 39,000,- j
OOOmarks, or nearly $1,000, to:
move the colossal piece, hence the;
young republic's slim pocketbook ob
lige it to swallow whatever scruples
it may have against reminders of its
monarchial forbears.
The statue was installed in 1905,
11 years after the Reichstag build
ing was completed. Its erection was
ordered by Germany’s late Emporer.;
the present refugee at Doom. Wil
helm 1 ruled at the time construc
tion of the Reichstag was commenc
ed. 1884.
Agitation for having the memorial
removed to some less conspicuous
spot was, begun by the Socialists, j
Their clamor finally reached the
Reichstag decorations committee,
which had also been called upon to
consider wiping out all other traces;
of the former monarchy. Art experts
were called in and they decided that,
in any case, the statue ociupied an
unfavorable position from an artis
tic point of view. This opinion
brought the democratic faction to
the support of the Socialists, but
the committee has now decided that
the operation must be postponed be
cause the expense would be prohi
bitive at present.
