POPPY DAY

Friday, May 30 is Poppy Day. Not only is it memor
ial Day, and observed throughout the nation in honor
of the heroic dead, veterans of all wars participated in
by Our Country, but it is a day that means much to the
still living, and disabled American veterans of the World
War. The wearer of a poppy next Friday signifies that
he has not forgotten the debt that is owed to those
who are still in hospitals as a result of the battle they
fought in the name of freedom, and those who fell and
now lie buried in the soil they made free.
The little red flower of Flanders Fields, that
seems to grow more profusely where the battles were
the fiercest and bloodshed the greatest, has been fit
tingly adopted as the Memorial Flower of the American
Legion and the American Legion Auxiliary. The French
women tell us today that the poppy is significant of the
sacrificial blood of the men who fell. In Seward, the
woman of the Seward Unit of the American Legion
Auxiliary, next Friday, will handle the Poppy distribu
tion.
THE SEWARD BREAKWATER
The halibut fisherman and others who pioneer the
waters of the North Pacific have asked little in the wav
of navigation aids, being willing to chance many haz
ards rather than yield their pride in their dangerous
calling. It would seem only reasonable that the atten
tion of the government should again be directed to the
construction of a breakwater in Ressurection Bay af
fording a safe haven for these brave little craft and
their crews.
Now that Congress has investigated just shout
everything under the sun it might not be a bad idea
to start an investigation of Congress to determine
what their excuse is for being called by such a name.
Even victims of the Inquisiton missed one torture.
The saxaphone had not been invented.

WALLACE, daho, May 26. (/P)—
Packer, a crossbreed fox hound,
j may be only a “mutt” as far as
his pedigree is concerned, but he
is worth his weight in galena to
Mr. and Mrs. Heffron of Sand
point. While serving as a pack
horse on mining claims near
Clarks Fork, owned by Mr. and
Mrs. Heffron, the dog uncovered
a strip of galena which is declared
to be 30 inches wide, containing
an eight-inch paysterak.
The dog had been overbalanced
by a 30-pound load of camp equip
ment and rolled 30 feet down a
hill into the brush. He was found
anchored by his load and scratch- ;
ing desperately to extricate him
self. When Mr. and Mrs. Heffron >
went to the scene of his struggles j
they found the dog had scratched
away enough dirt and brush to re- j
veal the galena which the couple j
hope to develop into a mine.
Assays, from two average galena
samples showed $45 and $52 lead
and silver while a special sample
assayed 238 ounces of silver to the
ton, with silver-lead values of
$105.
Alaskans traveling in the States
will find that the Northern Paci
fic Railway Company has been
equiped with the newest and the
most luxurious cars created by
Pullman. The new equipment of
the North Coast limited includes
37 Pullmans of the 10 section,
drawing room and compartment
type; nine diners which are cap
able of seating 36 guests and four
parlor cars for the accommoda
tion of daylight passengers.
The Pullmans are believed to be
the most beautiful built—interiors
of soft-toned walnut, upholstered
in modern green and rose, and
with luxiurious carpets, also in
modern green and rose.

MONROE, Wash, May 26, (/P)—

liberty with seven other inmates of

ckesi and Albert Dudley were cap
tured by guards. The other seven
were captured within an hour.
