MANY JACkIES ENLIST
 FOR MILITARY SERVICE

While the fans of baseball, box ing, tennis, golf and other sports are waxing enthusiastic over the many stars of their line taking up arms for Uncle Sam, it must be said that the racing game is sending to the trenches more fighting men than any other branch of sports. The men that follow the ponies" particularly the jockeys and exercise boys. live in the light of excite ment and danger and it is an even money bet that when the word is given to "go over the top they will leave their trenches like a quarter horse leaves barrier.
 Harry Rooney, who has been with horses since his short pants days, writes from Camp Lewis that he never gets lonesome. inasmuch as he has the company of many race track boys. Among the men now in train ing in the use of the rifle instead of the whip and spurs, are ex Jockies Christie, D. Booker, J. Dono van, Walter Robbins. Tedwell J. Cof fey and w. Lytle. Besides these arc many grooms, yalets, trainers ano even bookmakers' clerks, who arc wearing khaki uniforms of Uncle Sam.
 All have taken to their new life like duck to water Strange to say, none of the Prsemen have beer assigned as farriers, but many o them are in the machine gun divis ion, where it takes a steady nerve and plenty of courage to withstand the enemy's fire. which is always centered on these death-dealing wea pons.

Whales to the right of him, whales to the left of him, whales in front of him, whales behind him, all whal- ing away at the water and churn- ing it up like a storm. That is the kind of a mess Fox Rancher lief ferson found himself in near Bald Headed Chris Island recently. His Evinrude sobbed once or twice and collapsed. Then Jeff got as busy as a one-armed man with a Water bury watch and the itch. The old whales never touched him but sev- eral of them spit in his face, which annoyed Jeff some but did not stop his marathon. Listen to his tale Of trouble:
 "I started for the Dutch group to feed the foxes there.

Valdez is original. The peO- pie there are no pikers. Whatever they do they do on a large scale. When they tell a fish story it is a whale of a story. Sine the early days through the Tillicum Club. by means of railway projects, and other original stunts. they have kept in the public eye. During dull times, when "hangmans" truce fails to in terest longer, they go and dig up another miner from the Valdez Glacier crevices from among those which were plac- ed on cold storage during the early days when the gold and copper and other glittering rainbow -hued trails led over the glacier to the Interior. A short time ago they told about a resident whose boat anchor caught on whale and who was given a wild ride. Now comes another whale story from the Valdez Prospector, as follows:

DECISION BY INTERIOR ON
 NATIVE LAND All Natives Who Become Citizens Will Have
 Their Lots
 Surveyed. AN IMPORTANT CHANGE Many Lots in Villages Will Be Affected by the Order of Sec
 retary.
AN IMPORTANT CHANGE

Charles w. HawkeSWOrth, super intendent of education for the Ma tives of Southeastern Alaska, has received a copy of letter directed to Dr Claxton containing an import ant bearing on Natives owning town lots in villages of Alaska. It allows all Natives who have become citi- zens the same privilege as the whites for having their land segregated and getting the benefit of public improve ments. A copy of the letter is as follows;
 My Dear MT. Claxton:
 Referring to Section 6. Page r. of the enclosed circular 491 relating to the acquisition of title to public lands in the Territory of Alaska, have to inform you that the said regulations relating to Indian or Na- tive Alaskan occupants of lots in townsites, was amended by the Sec retary of the Interior, December 15 1917, so as to read in full as follows
 Indian or Native Alaskan oc-~ cupants who have secured cer-
 tificates of citizenship under
 the Territorial Laws of Alas
 ka shall be treated in all re-
 spects like white citizen occu-
 pants; but all land occupied
 by other Indians or Alaskan
 Natives shall not be assessed
 nor conveyed by the trustee.
 In making the subdivisional
 survey herein required, the surveyor will set apart the
 possessions occupied by the In
 dians who are not citizens and
 appropriately designate them
 as such upon the triplicate
 plats of his surveys, but he
 will not extend any street or
 alley upon or across such pos
 sessions"
 In accordance with the said amend ed provisions, the lots occupied by Indians or Native Alaskans who are citizens under the provisions of Sec tion 6, act of February &, 1887 GA Stat, SSS), and have certificate of citizenship as evidence thereof, in accordance with Territorial Act of April 27 1917 Chap. 24. Session Laws of Alaska, 1915 page 52), will be surveyed and assessed with a view to giving title to such citizen Indians to the lots so occupied. in the same manner that lots occupied by white citizens are disposed of. Very respectfully,
 (Signed) CLAY TALLMAN,
 Commissioner

SP0R I s

The Olympic games, which were steaming along right merrily until the present war thrust its balck sha- dow over the world. will hardly be witnessed again in all their glory for fifty years or more.
 It will require at least that time for the stories of German cruelty to die away in the memory of the rest of the world sufficiently to admit of the appearance of Teutonie ath- letes in friendly competition with 1 Americans, Frenchmen, Belgians, Eng. lishmen, Canadians. Australians or Italians.
 The specter of prisoners with throats cut, of crucified children, of mutilated men and women. of wreck ed cathedrals will stand between
 Germans and any participation in any real Olympic games.
 Nevertheless France means to stage some sort of Olympics as soon as possible after the war ends. Thou sands of German and Austrian pris oners of war are now engaged in
 preparing the site near Lyons for a huge stadium, which will witness a glorious gathering of allied ath letes in friendly athletic rivalry when
 the bugles signal truce.
 But the real Olympic games. mean ing athletic contests for the entire | world, have been set back for at least fifty years by the Kaiser's desire for a place in the sun.

 Original poem by Philip Burke, Grade Five, Juneau public schools. We have joined the Red Cross, Both you and l; So let's do all we can as the days
 go by;
 If a friend comes in for little
 chat,
 Just take your work upon your
 lap;
 For every stitch or a row or two All hedp toward your getting
 through.
 If you chance to have an hour to
 spend,
 And some cast-off clothes you find
 to mend, How many Relgians with cold bod
 ies and feet Would think these clothes were
 quite treat. So never idle let us stand When children are cold in an other
 land
 We may not all be able to knit, Or even sew, 'tis true, But by saving fats, wheat, sugar
 and meat, Our little bit we can do; Instead of buying candy, thrift
 stamps we can buy, So there is lots that we can do, if
 we will only try.

 One of the most enjoyable dances of the school year was given by the Sophomores in the school gymnas- ium Friday evening. The decora- tions were in accordance with St. Valentines Day. Red and white streamers reached from each end of the room meeting in two large hearts, while suspended from these hearts was a large red hoop with scores of little red hearts fastened to it by red streamers. The dance programs were very artistic and or iginal, painted by Edward Dolan, one of the Sophomore boys.
 Several of the Sophomore girls presided over the punch bowl ready to quench the dancers thirst. Dur ing the dance confetti powdered the heads of the gay dancers.
 St Valentines tender wishes were exchanged by the children of the grades on Thursday. Faces beamed with happiness when the little l hands reached for valentines as they were distributed.

The pupils of the Fifth Grade recently wrote personal letters to the former pupils of their teacher, Miss Seleen, in the Spokane, Wash, schools. These letters were so heartily appreciated and proved so interesting that they were bound by the Spokane school principal and are being circulated among the va rious rooms and studied in connec- tion with the Geography lessons of the school. The letters were es- pecially well written and proved a credit to the Juneau schools and to the pupils of the Fifth Grade and Miss Seleen in particular.
