Celtic Congress. Fears
Irish Language Dying Out
DUBLIN, Aug. 26. (/P)—There was
recently concluded in Dublin an in
teresting congress representing all
sections of the Celtic race, delegates
attending from Gaelic Scotland, from
Wales, and from Brittany. The dis
cussions were largely concerned with
the preservation of the Irish language.
Elam on De' Valera said that emigra
tion from the Irish speaking dis
tricts of Ireland was the greatest
difficulty to be contended with. He
was satisfied, he declared, that those
at the head of affairs, could, if they
wished, get the money to establish
industries to keep the Gael at home.
Other speakers said the language
was dying because the native speak
ers set no value on it. Professor
Gruffydd from Wales said that any
amount of teaching of the language
in the schools was of no more use
in saving it “than a tinkling cymbal”
unless mere were put miu it sumt
thing that gave dignity to the per
son who spoke it.
It was urged that emigration from
the Irish speaking districts should be
stopped. A resolution was adopted
unanimously declaring that Irish
should be essential in the final exam
ination for degrees in every college
for doctors, lawyers and eningeers,
and that laws should be passed ac
cordingly.

Italians Celebrate Folk
Holiday In Oldtime Style
ROME, Aug. 26. (/P)~The tradi
tional St. John’s Eve festival, one
of the many quaint religious and
folk holidays which have survived
into the 20th century from the Ital
ian middle ages, was celebrated thi3
year with a wealth of popular gusto
which belied the tale of Rome’s fast
growing modernization.
Emulating the example of their
ancestors, scores of thousands gath
ered in the spacious square of the
Basilica of St. John Lateran, and,
with whistles, horns, bells and liber
al wine-bibbing, made merry almost
thru the night with a spirit more
reminiscent of 500 years ago than of
today.
Great torches flickering from atop
the ancient Roman wall, upon which
the dignified facade of St. John’s
looks down, lighted up a milling mass
of old and young, all making as much
noise as possible. Rickety booths
and street hucksters sold bells and
penny-banks, made of rough clay
and adorned with crude peasant de
signs. Other sidewalk merchants did
a thriving business in fresh laven
der sprigs and carnations, for it is
a tradition of the holiday that the be
throthed—and nearly betrothed—ex
change carnations.
Elder holidayers observed more
carefully another of the St. John’s
Eve traditions by liberally patroniz
ing booths which sold piquantly fla
vored snails and slices of pork, cut
from carcasses fresh from the roast
ing spit.

WESTWARD TRIP
BIG LOAD OF FISH
QUARTER MILLION DOLLAR CAR
GO AND 200 PASSENGERS
ON ADMIRAL VESSEL
Laten with a capacity cargo of sal
mon and herring reaching nearly a
quarter of a million dollars in value,
the steamer Admiral Watson passed
thru Seward this morning at about 3
o’clock. No cargo was taken on after
the vessel left Port Graham, but a
number of extra stops was made in
order to pick up the first of the can
nery crews going outside from this
section of Alaska. Reservations were
made for 138 steerage and 50 first
class passengers from salmon canner
ies at Port Graham, Tenokee, Kar
keen and Water Fall. A small crew
remained at Port Graham to work on
herring.
Nothing but fish is being carried
this trip, the total reaching 2093
whole barrels of herring, 1747 half
barrels and 11,780 cases of salmon.
Although a stop was made to leave
cans at Alatak, the 30,000 cases which
the Alatak Packing company has
ready for shipment, will go south on
the Pacific Steamship company mo
torship Culbarra, which was due to ar
rive there Monday, making a direct
trip from Seattle. It will also pick
up fish from other plants in the Ko
diak district.
Both herring and salmon showed
up well this season around Kodiak is
land and the shipments are much
larger and heavier than was at first
expected.
