 the chief treasure of Sulgrave church. He received grant of Sulgrave manor from Henry VIII, and on pic turesque corner of his estate he car ried to completion that manor house which the American pilgrim now seeks with such affectionate interest. Part Iy, no doubt, this picturesque building embodies the shell of an old structure, but in the main 1t stands today as finally remodeled by its most famous owner.
 AS at Sulgrave, so at Brington. it Is in the village church that the memo rials of Washington's English ances- tors are to be seen in richest abun- dance. The most notable of these is the long stone slab in the chancel floor, now partly hidden by pews, the sur face of which is carefully protected by wooden cover. This is to the memory of that Lawrence Washing ton who was the uncle of the great presidents American ancestor. Here again Is the Washington shield, but the family arms are impaled with those of the Butler family. one of whose members became Lawrence Washington's wife.

GOV. RIGGS NEPHEW
 AWARDED WAR ROSS

Governor Thomas Riggs, Jr., has re- ceived telegram informing him that his nephew, Lieutenant Francis Rotch, Jr., resident of Alaska, has been awarded the British War Cross for gallantry and distinguished service. The telegram did not state what par ticular service the award is based upon. Lieutenant Rotch was serving with the engineering corps of the forces.
 Lieutenant Rotch has been an Alas kan for many years. He was with Governor Riggs when the latter had charge of the Alaska boundary survey, and was with the Alaskan engineering commission when the United States entered the war. He immediately en- tered the service, and was quickly or dered to France. His mother was a guest of Governor and Mrs. Riggs for some time last summer, and is well known in Juneau
 Francis Rotch, Sr., father of the dec orated American army officer, died early last summer He was a pioneer of Washington territory and state, and was a member of the first state legis- lature from Thurston county, of which Olympia is the county seat, and of several subsequent legislatures from a Seattle district He also resided in Alaska for some time, his headquar- ters being Fairbanks. He was half brother of Governor Riggs.

LEGISLATURE SHOULD
 PROVIDE FOR SOLDIERS

Reports from Seattle and elsewhere are coming to us that Alaskans who enlisted in the service of the United States are broke and without work, and it is the duty of the territory to see that they are cared for," said Thomas J. Donohoe, Valdez lawyer and Democratic national committee man. q would like to see the legis- lature which will meet next month make an appropriation of $100,OOO, if necessary, to be used to see that not single one of Alaska's men who went to serve their country when it needed them suffers on account of his pa triotism," continued MT. Donohoe.
 The territory of Alaska is rich enough to see that none of her sol diers are in need, and MT. Donohoe believes it to be the patriotic duty of < the lasislaturato make ample provt. sion for them in some manner that will be fair and equitable.

FAMOUS AS SWIFT RUNNER
Few Men, When Washington Was h his Prime, Could Successfully
 Compete With Him.

"As to running" said Parson Weems in his book on George Washington, "the swift-footed Achilles could scarce ly have matched his speed. 'Egad, he ran wonderfully said my amia- ble and aged friend John Fitzhugh, Esq, who knew him we'll. We had nobody hereabouts who could come near him. There was young Langhorn Dade of Westmoreland, clean-made, tight young fellow and mighty swift runner, too; but, then, he was no match for George. Langy, indeed, did not like to give up, and would brag that sometimes he had brought George to tie. But believe he was mistak- en, for have seen them run together many time, and George always beat him easy enough"

ALASKA SALMON PACK
 IS THIRD OF THE WORLD

The canneries of Alaska packed more salmon than has ever been packed in the history of the industry, in the year 1918. The total pack for the season was 6.667,569 cases as against 5,922,320 for the year 1917, which was the next biggest year.
 The total salmon pack of the world was 1O,100,127. It will be seen that Alaska packed two-thirds of the salmon of the world. By district, Southeastern Alaska leads the rest of the territory, as 3,3S5,74O cases were packed here, while 1,404,238 cases were packed in Central Alaska and 1,887,591 were packed in Western Alaska.

usu2lly soltzer, 20 beverages which
taken straight contain more than
e.7S per cent alcohol At Fred
Schumm's place, for instance, Rhine
wine was thus diluted 80 per cent.
II was pointed out that by the same
reasoning whiskcy and brandy might
be diluted ana sold on the percentage
basis, but there were no reports OF
this being done.
Al tho Internal Revenue once in
Brooklyn it was said that the
strength Of ordinary Rhine wine is
10 10 % per cent, clarot about 10 per
cent, while sherry and port are much
stronger.
