SMILING DAVIES IN TOWN
••Smiling Davies, the fighting switch
man of Anchorage, who lost to Fred
Cullens last month, was in Seward yes
terday. "Smiling” has the same good
natured look he always wore, and cer
tainly shows himself a good looser.
Davies stated Cullen was a good
man and that he realized now that age
was against him in his last bout.
Recent fight reports of Young
Stribling’s activities, state that he has
been using a little Ju-Jutsu, and Dav
ies states he thinks he was up against
something of this sort, as he cannot
account for a very sore shoulder he
received in his recent fight, and says
the lameness came from no blow.
"It is new stuff to me,” he said, “and
I must have received some of it while
boxing with Cullen without knowing
it.’
Smiling Davies has been transferred
his new duties as switchman giving
him twTo trips each week out of Sew
ard.
Representatives of the Jesse Lee
Home are returning from Anchorage
on today’s train. They were accom
panied by Reverend Dunlap to look
over the proposed sites in Anchorage
which were offered. A decision as to
where the Home will be built will be
given this week as the party has ask
ed for all legal papers pertaining to
local sites.

Dead Pets Preserved
For Sorrowing Owners
LOS ANGELES, May 13.—
Strange stories surround the pets
which men and women bring into
taxidermy studios here. Often the
sorrowing owners want their dead
cat, dog or bird companions stuf
fed and mounted.
Weepingly a woman brought in a
canary to be mounted and put in a
glass case. “The little thing has
slept with me, eaten with me and
been my greatest comfort for years,”
she told the proprietor.
Another customer, wishing to re
tain a life-like pose of his pedigred
English bull dog, killd in an auto
mobile accident, had the skin of his
pet mounted in a sleeping pose.
A college chap had his brindle bull
dog preserved. This dog was called
“Smoky” and, according to its own
er, could smoke tobacco and drink
strong liquor.

COLORFUL PAGEANT
TO MARK CENTENARY
OF SANTA FE TRAIL
COUNCIL GROVE, Kan., May 13.
—(JP)—One hundred rings have swell
ed the sturdy trunk of the vener
able Council Oak, patriarch of the
Council Grove, since that August day
of 1825 when white and red chiefs
gathered in its shade to barter for
a trade route to Spanish New Mexi
co. In a few short months, hundreds
of pilgrims will be speeding over
the twentieth century highways of
the middle west to pay their respects
to the old and the new Council Grove
birthplace of the Santa Fe trail.
This is Council Grove’s centennial
year. Full of pride in its dramatic
life story, the little town is prepar
ing to re-enact in pageantry the
scenes of. a century ago. Its own
historian, Mrs. Lalla Maloy Brigham,
heads the civic committee which is
planning the centenary program, and
with the descendants of those In
dians who signed the treaty of 1825
with the United States commission
ers, the whole community will unite
next August to celebrate its own
birthday and that of the Santa Fe
trail.
President John Quincy Adams’ or
der, authorized by an act of Cong
ress early in 1825, sent a handful of
federal commissioners out to the wes
tern border of the states to secure
a right of way to the unknown lands
of the southwest. They left Missou
ri and pushed into virtually track-:
less wastes. What was then the
last outpost of western civilization
is today the midpoint of the United
States.
Under the great oak, sole memen
to today of that great pow-wow, the
government officers held council with
the sachems of the Great and Little
Osages, and then took back to Pres
ident Adams the word that they
had, on August 10, 1825, gained for
the nation the right to pass over the
Indian domain, over what became
the Santa Fe trail, southwest across
Kansas from Independence, Mo., to!
the Spanish posts in New Mexico.
