High School Notes

Last Saturday the high school base
ball team received it's first defeat of
the season at the hands of Hudson
high school. Peterson, our regular
pitcher, was unable to pitch on ac-
count of a sore arm, so Bird pitched
and Finley went in at shortstop. AL
though Hudson only got nine hits, the
high school team made a great many
errors, most of which came with men
on bases. The team hit well, getting
8 hits, three of them for extra bases.
Peterson and Boles starred with the
bat, each getting hits out of four
times at bat. The next game is with
Hammond high school, at Hammond
next Saturday.
The Seniors have arranged the
commencement calendar and it is as
follows:
Sunday, May 27, Class Sermon at
the Methodist church.
Monday, May %, Class Day Exer-
cises at High School assembly room.
Tuesday, May 20, Class Play at
Opera House.
Thursday, May 81, Commencement
Exercises.

The commercial department of this
school is known farther than the
boundaries of the state, as was shown
by letter Mr.. Amy received from
girl in Dakota who says she has heard
Of the commercial department here
and would like to enter the depart
ment next year.
The tennis club is at work fixing up
the courts and a large number of stu
dents are playing on them every day.
The courts are very rough yet but
with a little more work can be made
into good courts. Mr.. Amy purchas-
ed some new rackets and balls for the
school and these are in use most of
the time.

Hudson High Wins

The Hudson high school baseball
team won an easy victory over the
local high school here last Saturday.
Hudson boys had their battin' clothes
on and pounded Bird s offerings pref
ty hard, but local errors were also a
big factor in making the score SO
lop-sided. The final count was Is to
5 in Hudson's favor. doc" Peter
son was unable to do mound work
Friday on account Of a sore arm,
but it is expected that he will be
ready to avenge the defeat in the re-
turn game at Hudson.

DECISION MEANS MILLIONS
 TO TERRITORY OF ALASKA

A Washington dispatch of January l5 conveys the news that the United States supreme court has refused writ of review in the famous Alaska territorial license tax law case, and as a result of the decision all the canning companies and mining com panies in the Northland will be compelled to pay the tax at once to both the federal and territorial governments on the output The decision of the supreme court was ren- ,iered upon an appeal taken from the United States circuit court.
 Some time ago the territorial officials commenced suit against the salmon canners 10 compel them to pay the license taxes on output as provided by the act Judge Jen, ;ngs rendered verdict in favor of the ter itory. An appeal was then taken to the circuit court.
 Already hundreds of thousands of dollars re involved in the suit which will be
 rned over to the territories by the fisher es In few instances the taxes have been paid under protest, pending the outcome of he suit
 The Alexander bill which was designed
 exempt the canneries from territorial aXation, was recently indefinitely postponed Il the lower house of congress, and the ter otorial treasury will in consequence be en- rched many hundreds of thousands of dol ITS in the next few years.

THE TRAIL-MAKERS
(Bv Henry Herbert Knibbs)

(By Henry Herbert Knibbs) North and west along the coast among the misty islands Sullen in the grip of night and smiling in the day; Nunivak and Akutan, with Nome against the highlands, On we drove with plated prov agleam with frozen spray. Lcud we sang adventuring and lustily we tested;
 Quarrcled, fought, and then forgot the taunt, the blow, the jcers; Named friend and clasped hand--a com pact sealed, attested; Shared tobacco, yarns and drink, and planned surpasslng years. Then the snow that locked the trail where famine's shadow followed Out across the binding white and through the sabbing cold, 'ast tents along the tundra over faces botched and hollowed; Toothless mouths that babbled foolish songs of hidden gold Wisdom, lacking sinews for the toll, gave OCT the trying; Tools, with thews of iron blundered on and won the fight; Weddings drifted homeward; else they tar ried-worse than dying With painted lips and was,rels on the edges of the night. 5ase of us who found the gold we followed with the others Oazzled by the glamor of the halls and womens eyes; When the poke was empty, then we bor- rowed from another's, Till a grim repentance called us out to face the skies Berries of the saskatoon were ripening and falling; Flowers decked the barren with it's tim Der scant and low; Il a'~r he river trail were many voices calling And e,n the whining malamutes they heard-and whlned to go Eyelds scared with fire of ice and frosted parks edges; Freight like a spray of blood on faces lean and brown; Uniting shadows of the pines across our loaded sledges, And far behind the fading trail. the lights and lure of town, So we played the bitter game nor asked for praise or pity; Wind and wolf they found the bones that bazed out l1neIy trails Where dozen shacks were set, today there blooms q city; Nov, where once was empty blue, there pass thousand sails.

day evening at $3.50 at the home of
the brides mother, Mrs. Georgia
Hamilton, Rev. T. B. Stanford per-
forming the ceremony. Although the
engagement of the young couple had
been announced their marriage COM
ing at such an early date was a COM
plete surprise to all but the intimate
friends and relatives. Quite num-
Der of these assembled at the home
to witness the nuptials.
At the end of the long hall an al
tar was improvised of palms and
ferns, with background of smilax in
graceful diapers from the ceiling to
the floor. Baskets of bright flowers
against the dark green foliage gave
g pretty effect, which was heightened
by the soft light from cathedral
candles. Just before. the entrance of
the bridal party Mrs. Laura Goode
Harbinson played "Just Song at
Twilight" and as she sounded the
notes of the Mendelssohn wedding
march little Ruth Hamilton, only sis
ter of the bride, entered alone bear
ing the wedding ring concealed in the
heart of a rose. She was a dainty
figure in a white lingerie frock. Miss
Bessie Lowrey was maid of honor and
wore becoming gown in soft white
net with picture hat of white tulle.
She carried pink roses. The bride
entered with her brother, Mr.. Arthur
Hamilton, and was met at the altar
by the groom with his best man, Mr.
Davenport Edwards. The impressive
! ring ceremony was used, Miss Glenn
entine Marlin playing softly "a Per-
feet Day" as the vows were spoken.
The bride was very attractive in a
tailored suit of chartreuse twill in g
stylish model. Her hat in one of the
new shapes completed toilette espe
cially becoming. Her corsage bouquet
was of shasta daisies. Born and rear.
ed in Dawson the bride has endearec
herself to numerous friends whose
hearts are full of good wishes.

Fla, but for some months held pc
sition in Dawson, and is highly es
