To reporter of the Daily Miner. in an interview with Mr. NJ. F.. Martin, who was rightfully named "the father of Ketchikan, " when asked to tell us about the flag that he prizes so highly, and can't be bought for money, he said "Yes, I will tell you about it.
 Tn 1885 I was hunting on Gravina island and our shoes, ana in fact all our clothing, gave out, so l had to come to this place to get seal skin to make moccasins. At that time I saw chance for trading post here for ail the Indians passed by on their way to Port Simpson to trade. The Indians either had to go to Wrangell or Port Simpson if they wanted any thing in the shape of white men's goods.
 In those days there were but few white men in this part of Alaska and no white women at all. In fact did rot see the face of a white woman in ten years, and then only when the boats went by and did not stop. At such times we could see them wave their hand6erchiefs at us. Those were times that everyone coming into your camp was welcome to sit down and have a little talk and get the best
 D the bouse-bacon and beans-and how we did enjoy it.
 Well, there were four white men here when we raised the flag, that was seen in my lawn on Washington birthday. It was raised the 4th of July, 1s37 0. w. Grant who is now marshal in Ketchikan; J. l.. Campbell who is now in Portland and Jack Law Ter who is now in Fairbanks. helped me to put up the flag and the flag staff on tbe corner of the old store that stood where the flag nole now stands.
 Why. yes, if leave Ketchikan the flag goes to the city. It may go down in history, and I know it will be taken care of. If anyone in those days had told me that I would see the change that has come here, l would not have believed them.
 See what we have now. Two first class hotels, telegraph office and wire less station, daily newspaper and it would not surprise me to see in less than five years, street cars running here.
 Why. twenty years ago my sister wrote me from New York and it was fourteen months before 1 got the let ter. There were but three postoffices in Southeastern Alaska, one at Juneau, one at Stka and one at Wlangell. It cost the government five dollars for every letter that was delivered in Alaska. So you see if the people keep coming into Alaska for the next twenty years, as they have been, there will be a great future for Ketchikan."
 This is the prophecy of NJ. E, Mar tin.
