strides in proficiency and in popu-
larity at home and abroad.
The band is supported by the
efforts of the members themselves
who in helping others, help also
themselves. They have been able
through engagements to buy their
own music, pay their teachers and
meet current expenses. Recently
with the assistance of the ladies
of the town, they cleared at bake
given on the porch and lawn of
one Of the members, seventy five
dollars, with which they pur-
chased electric lamps for use at
night. The cordial support ten
dered them at this time as attest
ed by the large sum raised in spite
of a discouraging rain which per-
sisted throughout the evening,
was sufficient evidence or the es-
TEEN in which the organization is
held.
The band, few weeks ago, as
sitted the Veterans of Foreign
Wars at a meeting held to in
crease membership and to estab-
lish a Ladies' Auxiliary. This is
one of the many affairs to the sue
cess Of which they have contrib
uted within the past few months.
When the band was first insti-
tuted they elected as directors,
Messrs. Thomas A. Mullin, George
w. Griffin and F. M. Smith. These
men have rendered efficient serv-
ice.and have been retained in that
capacity. They have aided ma:
terially in making the band the
success it is today.

Minerhaha Band, pictured
above, was organized on August
"a, 1911, through the efforts and
from the membership of Mime
haha Tribe, No. %, Improved
Order of Red Men. In response to
the call of an urgent need for a
musical organization or some
kind, 22 men responded, IL or ~
of whom had no previous musical
training. David Constantine who
has died within the past year, was
secured as instructor. When some
time later Mr.. Constantine became
a member of Bethany Band, Viii
mington, Mr.. Coslett Of Northeast,
Md, took over the matter of in
struction. Various leaders sue
ceeded him until at the present
time a local man, Mr.. John Jones,
q very active and efficient bands
man, is in charge and is making a
success of the work
Although the membership is at
present only ID, this band, in the
opinion of those who know, pro-
duce as good music as many
hands with a larger membership.
During the recent World War,
the band members performed not
able service. Nine were on actlVe
duty on foreign shores. Through
the efforts of the remaining few,
the band was, however, held TO-

resumed with a more Jealous IN

MACHINES COLLIDE AT
DANGEROUS CROSSING
Occupants Escape Without
Injury But Cars Badly
Damaged

AT the corner of South College
and Delaware Avenues which has
been the scene of several acci-
dents during the past year, two
automobiles crashed into each
other on Saturday evening. Both
cars were badly damaged but the
occupants escaped without injury.
One was a Newark car, owned
and operated by DR.. R. w. Helm,
Director Of Vocational Agricul-
tural Education for the State, and
the other bore a Maryland license
but was driven by Nels Miller of
Perth Amboy, N. j., who was ac-
companied by his wife. In the car
with DR.. Helm were Mrs. Helm,
Professor and Mrs. w. A. Wilkin-
son and their little daughter, Mar
garet Wilkinson.
DR.. Helm was driving eastward
toward the New Century Club and
knowing the dangerous character
of that crossing, slowed down and
approached at a low rate of speed.
The Miller car, when was pro-
ceeding southwark on College
Avenue, was hidden from view by
the Ledger building. 1t was ac-
cording to witnesses, going at a
high rate of speed. The driver, it
is alleged, failed to blow his horn.
When Mr.. Helm saw the car he
stopped his mchine instantly but
too late to avoid a collision. The
Maryland machine crashed into it
with sufficient force to turn the
southbound machine around and
to damage badly the front part of
DR.. Helms machine. One wheel
of the Miller car was badly bent.
Fortunately neither car upset and
the occupants escaped with little
more than bad scare and com
plete shaking up.
Both cars had to be sent to a
local garage for repairs.

"HarUest Moon I"
Carr1iUal a
Success
Interest Crowing in Popularity Contest
Minnehaha and Continental Band,
with College Orchestra
Furnish Music

A crowd thoroughly imbued
with the carnival spirit visited
the Century Club rooms on Satur-
day evening, and with encourag-
ing generosity helped to make the
opening of the Harvest Moon
Carnival an auspicious one.
Before $50, the time announced
for the beginning of the supper
period, a sufficient number of pa
irons to fill the three tables had
assembled and were waiting. In
spite of balky stove and damp,
dank atmosphere, which prevent
ed good fire and necessitated the
drafting into service of an oil
stove, supper was ready on time.
Fried oysters, veal loaf, cold boil
ed ham, potato salad, cole slaw in
tomato cups, pickles, jelly, rolls,
coffee, ice cream and French
pastry constituted the menu.
Many patrons urged Mrs. Nc
kelvey and Mrs. Blake and the
others who conducted the success
full affair, to hold supper next
Saturday evening also. They con-
sldered the matter but decided
against it. They will, however.
have an abundance of good things
to eat, salad, rolls, sandwiches.
coffee, pie, cake, ETC., which will
be served for the remaining nights
of the carnival, beginning at 6
o'clock.
The Toy Shop, which in number
and variety of articles displayed
justly earns the title, proved an
attraction to the little folks and
to the elders who admired especi-
ally the variety of dainty dressed
dolls. The young lady doll in
fluffy organdy, whose name will
be revealed at the close of the
carnival, proved an attraction.
and many paid for the privilege
of guessing her name.
The Parcel Post booth, presided
over by Miss Quaestha Drake and
her sister, proved a popular spot
where one might buy "sight un-
seen," articles suitable for both
sexes and all ages.
The card table whereon are dis
played post cards for all occa-
sions, makes a very attractive ex-

HIGH SCHOOL TO HAVE
GOOD FOOTBALL TEAM

Candidates for the football
team have been working out the
past ten days in conditioning ex-
ercises, tackling and some signal
practice. The team will miss the
experience and ability of Steele,
Major and Hoffecker, of last year,
but the remainder of last years
team is showing up we'll and with
the addition of some new material
the team will be able to give a
good account of itself. The back
field is composed entirely of old
players who show ability in both
offensive and defensive football.
The line, while it contains some
new material, is also showing up
we'll, being as heavy if not heavier
than last years line. Robert
Hayes, manager of the team, re-
ports that four games have al
ready been scheduled while sew
eral more are pending. Captain
Crompton has succeeded in get
ting several men out for the team
so far, but for a high school as
large as ours there should be
more, he thinks. Not only would
this give more material to pick
from, but the scrimmages which
would then be possible would de-
velop a better idea of real team
work.

The Seward gateway daily edition, and the Alaska weekly post., 1920-10-01

Alaska possesses many things of commercial value, that are at the present time useless because they are securely wrapped in official red tape. Among the visible assettS waiting for the unbinding of this red tape, to make them highly valued commercial commodities are the enormous forests. These forests contain vast supplies of raw material that can be easily made available for the manufacture of wood pulp. The United States at the present time is voicing a fear hat the wood pulp shortage will cause a serious con- dition of affairs if something is not done at once to relieve conditions.
 pulp shortage will cause a serious condition of affairs if something is not done at onceato relieve the short age.
 The United States need not fear a pulp wood shortage if Alaska's vast supplies of raw material are made available. The Bureau of Forestry up to this time has not framed propO- sitiOn that will attract capital. 1t has not proposed a plan that an ordinary conservative investor can consider.
The Seward gateway daily edition, and the Alaska weekly post., 1920-10-01

Meantime there is talk of a wood pulp shortage and dire threats of worse conditions ten years hence If the United States and the Bureau of For estry would take a leaf from the book of British Columbia's experience it would profit speedily. It would open up an industry that would add millions to Alaskas revenue. Practically all the development in the wood pulp in dustry of British Columbia has occur ed since 1912. Yet by 1918 this indust " had attained second place in the roster of that province's enterprises. It is now turning out an annual pro- duct valued at more than ten million dollars. Alaska has the forests but the red tape of the government and the selfish blindness of the Bareau of Forestry has prevented the develop ment of q wonderful industry.
 We hear talk and rumors of what it to be done but none of us has yet seen. the shadow that is cast by com ing events. 1t takes a concrete form of solid substance to cast a real sha dow, and while We wait for the sha- dow that heralds coming events the potential resources of the Territory lie dormanant and valuelesS. They do not contribute to our prosperity and will not until they are properly utilized. Give the paper pulp men chance to enrich the Territory and while giving them their chance open up the entire territory and unwind the ball of red bureaucratic tape that securely holds and hides our real wealth.
 The wood pulp industry, the birch lumber industry, the exploitation of our oil fields and the mining of our coal at five dollars a ton instead of one hundred and five the approximate cost of mining a ton at the present time, will bring to the Territory a lasting and real prosperity and the population that will eventually gov ern the territory from within and not from without as the powers that be are now attempting to do. Same old holler you may say when you finish reading these words. The sickness and the cure are both cureable and avail. able Just watch your step and your vote and continue to boost.
