SEATTLE's PLAN
FOR CELEBRATION

The following are the resolutions adopted by the Seattle Chamber of Commerce with reference to the cele- bration of the semi-centennial of AL aslxa
 "It is the sense of the Alaska bu. reau of the Seattle Chamber of Com merce that the fittieth anniversary of the purchase of Alaska, in 1917. should be fttingly observed and cele- brated in Seattle and throughout AL aslSa. and this organization will take immediate steps to carry the idea in- to effect.
 National Recognition Favored
 Such a celebration, to be truly commemorative, should be truly Alas kan. and, moreover. national in char acter. TO this end the government at Washington, through its executive and legislative branches, will be ask ed to give recognition to the event by official participation, in the celebrat- ing and a government visitation to the Territory.
 "The semi-centennial will have dou- ble significance in also signalizing the final opening up of Alaska; and a special invitation will be extended to the president of the United States to head the official party visiting the Northland
 Representative to be sent North
 "That there may be the fullest CO., operation on the part of all Alaskan cities and sections in the celebrations a representative of this bureau in .furtherance of tentative plans, will be sent to Alaska to ascertain the wish es of all such cities and sections and to invite their cooperation.
 Seattle. the gateway to Alaska, can most fitingly plan a weeks festivities in commemoration of the semi-cen- tennial and celebration of the opening of the Territory The departure Of the governmental party for the North land and the dedication of a perma- nent Alaska exhibit here, commen- surate with the great value of the Territory 8 varied resources, should be made the eliminating features Of the festivities and paegantry in Seattle

MARRIAGE WAS
POSTPONED

When train number 5l6 steamed into
the station Tuesday afternoon besides
its regular cargo it contained two flut-
tering hearts which, the poet tells US
"beat "a ONE not to mention gentle
man, who was to act az guide. inter-
prefer. and best man to the bridal par
ty. The bridesmaid who III uld' to have
boarded the train at Reed burg failed
to show up, nevertheless. although
somewhat unacquainted with licenses
and other sordid necessities, our bridal
party from Leland. walked boldly up
Oak street and entered the courthouse
park. Here they stopped and rested.
The best man began to feel somewhat
nervous and decidedly inadequate with
out a partner. Inspiration came to his
rescueEand he dashed across Third
street and entered dry goods establish
ment, we'll known for its cordial and
obliging salespeople. He approached
the proprietress and asked her to loan
him one of her assistants to act as
bridesmaid at ceremony which was
about to take place. She consented
and when he left the store he was ac-
companied by an entirely satisfactory
bridesmaid, who learned that no license
had been secured. She suggested that
it might be well to procure one and pi.
loted the party to the Office of the
county Judge. To Mr.. Bride groom g
establishment and expostulation he next
discovered that physicians certificate
was necessary. After some delay
this was obtained and the couple deter
mined that nothing less than fire, flood
or famine could prevent them from be-
ing married md so once more entered
the judges office. Let US draw merci-
full curtain over the scene which ensued
when they learned the license was not
valid until five days had elapsed. A
sadder maid, a wiser man and an utter
ly dumfounded best man returned to
Leland at O'Clock last evening.
