EASTERN STAR
 FLOAT CAUSES
 MUCH COMMENT

One of the most attractive floats in the big parade of the Order of the Eastern Star was one entered by the Midnight Sun Chapter of Fairbanks, according to reports received here on the last mail. Mrs. Jeanne M. Low cry, as delegate, had direction of the arrangement of the float and she was assisted by many Fairbanksans who were in Seattle at that time.
 It represented Interior Alaska as well as the local chapter. On it were many fine furs, which were loaned for the occasion by the Hudson Bay Co.,, and two gravel heaps representing the placer fields of Alaska. Mesdames Buckley. Edwards and Selberg were also on the float, gowned attractive ly in white and wearing different kinds of fur sets.
 Two former Interior boys banned nuggets from the gravel as the float was driven along the streets. The boys were Leslie KettlesOn, well known in Fairbanks, and Russell Ora ham, formerly of Ruby.
 Other delegates gave away souvenir cards and badges, but Mrs. Lowery went them one better and secured some of the booklets which the local Commercial club had printed in 1916 describing the Interior country. She got these from the Seattle Chamber of Commerce. The first supply was soon exhausted and she was forced to call on the Seattleites for more in order to supply the demands made on her.

WHITE DENIES
 CRITICISM OF
 LOCAL SCHOOL

In a letter just received by The Citizen, E. J. White. speaker of the fourth territorial legislature, takes ex- ceptiOn to an editorial article which appeared in The Citizen on July 12, last, and declares that he never gave |any. interview in Seattle in which he opposed the Fairbanks Agricultural College" and states further that he supported the appropriation measure which was lost in the last legisla- ture.
 MT. Whites letter follows in full:
 Juneau. Alaska. July 28, 1919. "Mr. J. H. Caskey. Alaska Citizen.
 Fairbanks. Alaska.
 My Dear Sir:
 "I was much surprised on reading your paper of the 18th instant to see myself quoted in an interview pur- ported to have been given by me to a Seattle paper of about June in which I was quoted as opposing the Fairbanks agricultural college.
 "In the first place I gave but two interviews while in Seattle and in neither of them was the agricultural college mentioned, and had it been mentioned 1t would have been with regret that the appropriation failed to pass the recent legislature.
 "All the members of the late legis- lature of which I had the honor to % speaker, know what my attitude was on the agricultural college-that a start having been made, it was very bad policy to not continue the good work. not only voted for the ap- propriation but did all in my power to induce other members to do like wise. For me not to have favored the college would have been a be- trayal of the confidence of the en- tire delegation from the Fourth divi- sion.
 q have said and did say to all the members of the Fourth division that It might have been mistake in the first place. the 1917 term of the to start the college (pre- mature is a better word than mis- take) but that once started. I was very much in favor of continuing it. This sentiment, however. was never in any interview to Seat lle or any other paper. I do not care at this time to go into detail concern Ing how the appropriation was los. but 1t was thru no lack of interest | and work on my part as I was heart | and soul with the members from the Fourth in their efforts to get suit |

My disappointment at the failure ,l the bill for tile appropriation to pass was probably as keen as that of any member of the legislature, those from the Fourth division not excepted. And now to be quoted in an inter View never given as having opposed the measure is not only unfair to me but also to my good friends, the entire legislative delegation from the Fourth division.
