Ladies Help Wanted
For Park Promotion

Clayton is progressing and living
so fast that it is overlooking a triv-
ial natter seemingly, yet we believe
if this very small affair received at
tention it would prove the greatest
little thing that ever happened for
Clayton.
1t is the matter of a place. for
folks to rest who have no place to
go after they have finished their
days business in Clayton.
Geo. II. Wade suggests a plan that
is inexpensive hence one that
should have the approval of every
one. He opines that the business
folks of Clayton should get together
and utilize one or two Of the remain
ing vacant lots, make a small park
of it, let the merchants furnish
benches and erect an arbor to furn-
ish shade Mr.. Wade believes that
if the club ladies could be interest
ed i'm this. the little difficulty of
starting the ball rolling would be
momentary only.
He says he is ready 10 furnish his
share of the benches and $500 as a
starter.
Clayton is in dire nccG of just such
a place. Every day the town has
scores Of visitors. who, when their
shopping and business Is completed
must either mill UP and down the
streets or go into the business houses
which most people 40 not like to do,
The News is with Mr.. Wade in
this suggestion.

For several years the nation has
been Interested in the conserva-

of preserving all song and insectiV-
Orous birds. 1t is said that if all
inscct-eating birds were destroyed
this whole continent would in three
years become uniuS6Stable by
reason of the myriads of insects. We
should bring back the birds to pro-
tect our grains, plants and trees.
And, while we are impressed with
the economic value of these things,
we bear in mind also their csthctic
value. The beauty of shade and
forest trees and the sweetness of
wild birds, songs please our senses
and increase vastly our enjoyment
in living.

Officers Say villa Will Not Surrender
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
Washington, March i7-While ap-
parently there has been no formal
discussion of what shall be done
with Villa if he is captured, it is re-
garded as probable that if taken
alive, the bandit leader will be turn
eG over to the de facto government
for prompt execution.
That would avoid embarrassing
questions Which might arise if the
United States undertook to arrange
for his eXtradition TO New Mexico
for trial on the charge of murder.
Army officers think, however, it is
altogether unlikely that Villa will
permit himself to be made prison
or. knowing the certain fate await
ing him, he is expected to fight as
long as there is breath in his body.
The little trash fire of the windy
Sunday was evidence enough that
Clayton needs every cent of the

AN ALASKAN LEGEND

The Indian legends, with their mixture Of superstition and poetry, are not unnteresting in connection with the story of this great eoun- try. O1e pertaining to the origin of native tribe of Alaska is thus told.
 A long time ago it is sai& the earth sank beneath the water and the water rose and covered the highest places, so that no man could live. It rained SC hard it was as if the sea fell from the sky. All was black. and 1t became so dark that no man knew another. Then few Ueeple ran here and there and made rafts of cedar logs, but nothing could stand against the white waves and the raft was brok- en in two. On one part floated the ancestors Of the Thlinkets, on the other the parents of all the ether nations. Te water tore them apart and they never saw each oth- CT again. Now their children are all different and do not understand eae other.

PREPAREDNESS

While the great European pow CTS are preparing their terrific en- zines fer the destruction of their toes; while our national policy is slowly moving to the final neucleus Of nation wide preparedness-why not let Is adopt the slogan of the day and begin to prepare for the horde e. summer tourists which will soon be upon us,
 Already the transportation com paniss are beginning to lay their plans and prepare for their busiest season. Parties are being formed in the New England States for the express purpose Of making a tour of Alaska, The war has shut to the tourist the gates of Europe as a place to spend the summer months. We have the chance of Q life time to make Alaska the one and only pleasure spot on the face Of the globe.
 How are the citizens of skagway gciug to figure in this history mak- ing epcch-how are we going to make skagway so attractive that the rauruiug tourists will tell their friends to be sure and make this their stopping place?
 CIeaulDess is certainly next to Godltuess, no truer phrase has ever been written. Why not each citizen so keenIy feel his duty to- wards his city and the Territory of Alaska tbat he will take it upon himself to place his home, his place of business and his city in a spic and span condition. Each little home in our city could stand the smooriug touch of the paint brush, Nothntg so adds to the appearance of a city as to see the homes looking new and surrounded by a honey at mosphere.
 We have the city, the facilities and tbe people to make this the leading city of Alaska. Lets place it on the map as the garden city of Alaska. It can be done-not by one or two citizens-not by our Commercial Club-not by the busi- ness men of our city-but by the combined efforts of each and every citizen Of Skagway. Are you willing to rGI up your sleeves and place your shoulder to the wheels of progress?
