Lady With the Smallest Foot and Gentleman With Largest Foot Among the
 Fourth Features.

HOONAH, July 7.-"Hoonah cele- brates, and when Hoonah does any thing it is always on large scale and, needless to say, a success.
 C. J. Alexander superintendent of the Hoonah Packing Company is known in Alaska as the man who does things right, and when he de cided to give a celebration on July the success of the thing was as sured.
 Over S650 was raised among the white people at the cannery and Hoonah village for prizes alone. The entire plant was shut down and turned over to the celebration. Too much cannot be said in praise of the ladies of the Hoonah Packing Com 7any who, headed by Mrs. C. j. Alexander, furnished free food for he entire crowd, and it was not a 'unch either, but feast with plenty or all. The undertaking was a stu 9endous one when you consider that be entire native population of Icy Straits was present and the greater he neighboring canncries. About 100 seine boats were tied to the 1oonah Packing Company's dock There was flood for all and some 0 spare.
 The program consumed the entirt lay and there was something doinl every minute. The large purses at 'racted the best talent of both whitt and natives and the latter carried of many large purses. The folowint program is only a part of the man! events Among the more exciting contests was the tug-ofwar contes won by the native team The bal game also was very exciting, and wa. won by the Hoonah Packing Com Dany's team. The singing of the Ma tional Anthem, tho raising of Victory loan flag issued to the Hoonah Pack ng Company for patriotic work dur ng the Victory loan drive. and tht patriotic address by the Rev Car Hladfelder, were also features of tht lay. They were followed by the athletic program. C. J.
