place, Lieutenant Max B. CARRIER Of
the regular army being the inspec-
ton officer. Adjutant General Crow
was also present. The inspection re-
Elected great credit upon the Com
pany and its officers and Captain
Shaw has every reason to be proud
of his boys. Eighty seven members
Of the company were present every
member of which has just reason to
be proud of the excellent condition
of Company /, and there is no false
pride in the matter as is attested by
the fact that the Inspection officer
and the Adjutant General both stat
ed that they never saw Company
pass better inspection.
Following the inspection BAN
quet was served in the Armory at
which 200 people were served, and
following this was a grand ball.
Satisfaction and pleasure was clear
ly expressed in the faces of the
soldier boys who probably never be-
fore as a body crowded so much
enjoyment into one evening.

Before the adjournment of the territorial legislature tho other day. the members showed their appreciation what the present administration has done for Alaska by rendering the following vote of thanks:
 Whereas, Alaska is entering upon period of greater prosperity due to its natural being now generally known by the people throughout the United States, and by the interest taken in the de- velopment of the territory by the president of the United States, Woodrow Wilson, and the secretary of the interior, Franklin K. Lane, and the other members of the presidents cabinet
 Therefore be it resolved by the House of Repre- sentatives of the Territory of Alaska, the Senate concurring, that for and in behalf of the people of Alaska, we do most heartily congratulate the pres dent and his advisors the Senate and Congress of the United States and tender them our sincere thanks for their great efforts in hehalf of terri tory.
