HAS MORE TITLES
 THAN ENGLISH LORD

Colonel James Gordon Steese, sion, is a regular fellow and more modest than we would be if we had a roomful of medals bestowed upon us, says the Juneau Capital More over he does not like to burst into print. So it was necessary to wait until he went out of town, before the general public is let in on the fact that he has more medals than were ever won outside of at a worlds fair.
 Now in a moment of abstraction the colonel was asked to figure out just how his name would look if he wore it like an Englishman, with all the initials of the family tree and or ders of honor pinned on it. So just to please, the colonel figured them out with this result:
 James Gordon Steese, Col. Eng.
 U. s. A., U. s. D. S. M., I. V. M.,
 c. c. I. M., c. c. l., c. w. E. S.,
 L. s. P, F. R. G. S., A. s. c. E.,
 A. A. A. S., s. N. I. A. A. F.,
 A. s. M. E., F. A. G. S., A. B.,
 A. M."
 Now these initials do not all stand for medals, but enough of them do to completely outclass the man with only the Victory medal.
 ic ho Df oil letters: United States Distinguished Service Medal, Interallied Victory Medal, Medal of Commander nf the Order of Danilo I. of Montenegro, Medal of Commander of the Order of the Crown of Italy, Medal of Com mander of the Order of the White Eagle of Serbia, La Solidaridad of Panama, Fellow of the Royal Geo. graphical Society, American Society of Civil Engineers, American Associ- ation for the Advancement of Science, Architectos, y Agrimensores de Pana- ma, American Society Military Engi- neers, Fellow of the American Geo. graphical Society, Bachelor of Arts, Master of Arts. We forgot to mention that he also has the Greek Croixe de Guerre, and that the Metallic Milf taire of France arrived this morning.
 But Colonel Steese has one more medal coming. After he returns from that conference with the military af- fairs committee and brings back the million dollar appropriation for the road building program, in Alaska, he will be knighted with o. o. 8. s., or the Order of Successful Sourdoughs.

While for farmers and others to put

the police will interfere, In view of the
fact that by the consent Of somebody in
authority bread boxes, laundry boxes and
other distractions are found all over the

This was pointed out by President
Schmidt at the council meeting last
Monday night, when the members Of the
club were told to notify farmers that
they could come in to Fountain square
and sell their produce directly to the
housewives without molestation.
Mayor Charles W. Jewett stated sew
