V/e wonder if the "Stroller" means it* In the
last issue of "Stroller’s 7eekly" llr.Uhite reminisced in the follow
ing manner- in-"DOUGLAS ISLAND 20 YEARS AGO",
" The Douglas Band practiced several nights every week,
v AND rainy families left for the outside."
" Frank Copp,one Uf the very old-tinors on the Island,
left for the Tanana, AND the Ladies’ League gave
- a social at the Congregational church."
Examples of cause and effect! Ue wonder.
PRES•HARDING PLANS ALASKA VISIT:
”Ilany and contradictory are the rumors con
cerning the visit to Alaska of Pres.Hafiding the coning summer,hut from a
telegram received yesterday from Gov.Bone fiom the President’s private
secretary,Christian, it is evident that the visit to Alaska is still up
permost in the mind of the President,and,according to the telegram,and
if the plans do not miscarry,the Chief Executive of the United States
will be in Juneau on the 9th of July*
The message from the President’s secretary states
that plans for the Alaska trip are but tentative.which means that they
are,-well,tentative, and subject to change* It sesus the President’s ad
visors are desirous to have fence-repairing start at the earliest pos
sible date, and before conditions become any worse than at present.
In the meantime,and until something more definite is
received,Alaska will assume that the President will visit her in July# M
(From '’Stroller’s Weekly’’-Hay 12,1923)
’’/hether or not the President will visit* Chilk.oot. Barracks if
he cooes north is not kno’yn# But if he does,-we'li show him the best
we’ve got. And that's that*
