 But some thoughtful observers who have paid a little attention to Alaska saw the change coming years ago.

DOLPHIN COMES BACK ON ROUTE
 FOR ONE TRIP

With but two passengers for Jul neau and 40 tons of freight for Cas- tlneau channel. the steamer Dolphin arrived from the south early last evening. This is the first trip of the Dolphin to northern waters for about five months as she was used as floating home for strikebreak- CTS along the Seattle waterfront during the past summer.
 When the longshoremen's strike started in Seattle the Alaska S. s. Co. immediately cancelled all sail ings of the Dolphin for the summer and tied her up at Pier Two. From that time on the Dolphin was taken from the pier only when steamers at other piers needed the services of the strikebreakers. Then the Dol phin would cast off her lines and coursing up the bay would soon land alongside the other boat and the grimy and husky men would pour in a black cloud over her sides and would soon have the streams of freight pouring into the hold. When the job was finished the men would load themselves back on the Dolphin and back to her berth she would ramble to await the next call. The Dolphin is making a trip in place of the Jefferson which is being over hauled.
 The Dolphin brought 25 tons of freight for Juneau, 10 tons for Douglas and tons for Thane. The arrivals were Mrs. N. F. Gilkey and E. J. McKanna.

Gen. Jose Rodriguez, one of the
most prominent of the Villa generals,
ordered to be executed for being i'm
plicated in the killing of 1S unarmed
Americans in the state OF, Chihuahua,
was a. resident of Mecklenburg coun-
ty for two years., relates Charlotte
dispatch of last Friday. He came to
this county at the age of 13, to at
tend school at Huntersville, in upper
Mecklenburg.
Rev. DR.. w. w. Orr, now pastor of
East Avenue Presbyterian Taber-
nacle, was principal of the Hunters
Vile school at that time. Young
Roderiguez came to Huntersville
through the influence of friend OF
DIR. Orr in Mexico, a friend who knew
the boy we'll. Young Rodriguez i'm
pressed all who knew him as youth
of fine qualities. He and his mother
were of the class of aristocrats, the
latter owning 200 square miles OF
land near Les Palmas, in eastern
Mexico. Their pride of birth was
strong. Coming to Mecklenburg
with Rodriguez was another boy,
Fritz Stussy, whose father was Swiss,
his mother German, and both Luther
ans. Roderiguez's mother was a
Catholic. Both boys Joined the A. h.
P. church while at Huntersville. Be-
tween DR.. Orr and family and young
Rodriguez there existed strong at
tachment. In the years intervening
between his leaving Huntersville and
up to a year ago Rodriguez ire
quently remembered DR.. Orr and
family by sending them boxes OF
fruit from Mexico.
