AERIAL MAIL ROUTE
 TO 5. E. ALASKA
Seattle Man, After Visit to Wash ington, Says That Route
 Is Assured

The following. taken from thc Sc Iatuc Times. tells one mans ideas of the aerial mail route situation az ! far as Alaska Is concerned.
 Returning from visit of four
 months Co Washington D. Co am, other eastern cities. D. N Gott. vice president and general manager of | Che Bocing Airplano Co.,. brought back the word last night that not only is Seattle very. very much on the aviation map, but that among the very first aerial mail delivery extensions occupying the attention Of Che Postouicc Department will be Che routc between Seattle and Southeastern Alaska points.
 When Mir. Gott arrived at the national capital there was under consideration an appropriation Of aerial mail extensions The Alaska to-Seattlc or vice versa, route wasn't dreamed of n connection with the general scheme. Everybody was pulling for something or other branching on the main aerial routes now in operation or provided for; that is. the New York-Washington and the WashIngton-Chicago routes. The former is going proposition and Che Chicago end will bc hooked up shortly.
 But when Che appropriation finally went through Congress it was found Co provide only SSOO.OOO for every body. It was much less than any body expected; far, far less. How ever. everybody finally settled back and decided Co get a chunk ot it.
 Nobody could see the seattlc-Al- aska route at the outset. But Gott of Seattle got Senators Wesley Jones and Miles Poiudcxtcr busy and they saw and he saw Postmaster A. S. Burleson. and everybody else who had heart-iutcrcst in Seattle saw him too. When Che dust had sct- tied it was found that when they begin spending Che money for new aerial mail routes Che Alasko-Scattlc route is going to receive its pro rata share. and just as much attcn- ton. if not a little more, than some of the "big" routes projected.
 Mir. Burlcson asked for, and got a mass Of datu on thc local situa- ton. and the fact that Mir Gott rep resented an airplonc company which could build the necessary flying boats Co carry out the Alaska mail scheme and two such boats almost finished and ready to takc-on, in fact. Seattle arose quite few de- rrccs in his estimation, and he gave the assurance that the Alaska mail route should never escape his mind when he came Co scatter largcss.

SCHOOL EXHIBIT
 ATTRACTS MANY
Closing Days of School See Building Thrown Open for Inspection
 of Work

Many folks availcd themselves Co the opportunity the last two days Of seeing the exhibit Of work at the Douglas school that marked the clos ing of the term.
 Perhaps the most interesting cS- hibit to many was tho manual train ing work done by the boys during the year Many beautiful pieces of furniture were on display; mong those noteworthy by the larger boys was writing table made by Will liam Manlcy reading lamps by Alex Morgan and John Poeth, a china closet by Elmer Palmbom. a ward robe by Joe George. typewriter table with a disappearing arrange ment by Victor Hewitt, an umbrella stand by Martin Gallwas and a porch chair by Carl Hanson. These are but a few of the many useful and orna- mental articles that have been made by the boys under the direction Of Mir Waggoner.
 In the different rooms are shown many examples of nccdlcwork done by the girls. The samples range all the way from dresses and aprons to gucst-towels and all Of them show evidence of hard, painstaking work.
 In the different rooms there arc on display on the walls many sam pies of work along the lines of schol- arship and also samples Of the writ ing and other studies. Those in the lower grade rooms are particularly interesting, showing, as they do. what can be done to the childish mind by a little training.

Tho question that has been agi- atur thc minds of che young folks and Che rrowuups of Douglas Island tor quite some time is whether or uo, Douglas Island Is going Co cclc- bratc tbc Fourth of July n any kind or style.
 10 Is now Che middle ol May and only about % month and a halt yet remains before Che day Of days. Douglas Island for many years past has had a Fourth Of July celebration and there is uo reason in Che world why we should not have one this year.
 owing Go Che fact that thcre are uot .o many business houses la town as there were in former days it per hans win not bc possible Co celebrate or such elaborate scale as has been Che custom in years gone by, but .fcrc is no douht but that an equally good time may be had with the eX- renI.mrc of smaller amount Of money.
 There can be an kinds of games and races for che children and few for growuups. There can be a ball game. as there Is ball team on the Island and several other ones on the Channel and taking everything into consideration thc events above men uoucI make thc celebration.
 X number of business men have s.cuifcd their willingness Go con tribute IbcralIy Co the fund and enough money win be available for aII practical purposes.
 Last year we celebrated while the war was ou and this year with the war over. it is all thc more reason why we should hold some kind of a celebration.
 Tho children expect it. thc grown ups are anxious for it and it only requires some one to start Che move mcut and Che glorious Fourth win bc a reality.
