until they came to the vicinity of
Hyder, when the 294 went to that
port to investigate rumors of trouble
by radicals in that camp After

Understanding Heart" The ser
mon was listened to very attentive
ly by not only the whole graduating
class but all the faculty of the school
and many friends and relatives who
filled the church.
The special music consisted of
solos by Frank H. Partridge and
Mrs. Mons Anderson, and an anthem
by the Methodist Choir.

DOLLY" GRAY AFTER
GERMAN RAIDER FOR
FOURTH OF JULY
Chairman of Committee Will En-
deavor to Have German Craft
Ordered to Juneau

If Juneau does not have the big
gest and best Fourth of July cele-
bration ever held in Alaska it will
Association committee headed by J
Latimer Gray. and consisting of him
self, Cash Cole and Glen Bartlett
These three men are talking, think
ing and dreaming Of nothing else
but Fourth of July.
Their latest effort in the line OF
entertainment for the people of the
Channel and the eXcursionists from
other parts of Alaska is the secur-
ing of German submarine raider
to be here for the big day They
have heard that one of the captured
raiders is in San Francisco Bay
awaiting orders to go somewhere
for the edification of the people.
Mr.. Gray has appointed himself a
committee of one to await on Gov.
Thomas Riggs Jr to have him start
the ball rolling to get that raider
in Juneau harbor for July Fourth.
Mr. Gray said this morning that
the boat had to go somewhere, so
why not Juneau? The appearance
of the craft in the harbor on that
day would be a great attraction
The examination of the boat would
be a liberal education to sourdoughs
who in some instances have their
doubts about the existence of such
crafts.
Anyway there is nothing that this
committee will not try and Mr.. Gray
acting as spokesman for the com
mittee will use all his eloquence and
powers of persuasion in attempting
to get the boat here and he is sure
if he could see Secretary of the Navy
Josephus Daniels personally he
would get it.
