 A great deal of pressure has been brought to bear on the committee to add a one mile mems foot race, and as this is great test of endurance that is part of the makeup of the Alaskan it was decided to offer a prize of $15 for the first man over the tape and $5 for the second.
 The decoration committee in charge of Mrs. Al. White are making elab- crate preparations for decorating the main streets as they never were dec orated before. Triumphal arches have been erected at the crossings of sev- eral of the most important corners and these will be covered with bunt- ing of Fourth of July colors and de signs. No expense or pains are be- ing spared to make the decorations a feature of the celebration that will long be remembered.
 The pigeon shoot is attracting lots of attention, and the fact that Cor dova has brought her very best shots to compete in this contest, has stim- ulated the interest and Manager Ol- sen of the Valdez team Is doing his darndest to get team together that wifi carry off the honors.

stated had been asked Of every
meeting that he had had the
privilege of addressing in the last four
years, and he had asked broad enough
that anyone might have the chance
to answer. These audiences had en-
braced teachers. members of the
school board, business and profession
al men, and never had he received a
correct answer. When the question
was put at the local school Edward
Johnson, a lad of twelve years inn
mediately answered thirty-four. He
was asked how he knew and replied
that in studying history he had re-
membered that there were thirty-three
at the beginning of the war and he
remembered that Kansas came into
the union in the fall Of 1861, therefore
he concluded that there must have
been thirty-four. Kleckler said he
would gladly take off his hat to young
Johnson for his aptness in the ans
wer.
The instructor spoke very kindly

corded in the city at the hands of the
