Yet. only two years ago MT. Pellett saw the machine in Volun- town and it was running and apparently continuing to give good service.

Truesdell agent of the Attawaugan company, purchased the second car ever owned in this town. All were steamers and were looked upon almost with awe, being regarded by the general public with even more curiosity than were aeroplanes half dozen years back.
 MT. Pellett smiled reniniscently We'd nesday as he looked at the picture of his first car as shown on the receipted bill for the machine. In size, it might do for trailer for modern fiivver, but beside the big modern. powerful ma chine it Is hopelessly outclassed, yet less than 1e years have elapsed since the lit tie steamer was regarded as such a mar vel that it was sure to collect a crowd wherever it was stopped and some super stitious people were inclined to regard the thing as product of the Evil One. The body of Mrs. Martha Moody Pray, who died in Harrington, R. l., was brought here for burial in westfeld cern- etery. Mrs. Pray was the widow of Al fred Pray and for years was resident of Brooklyn.

 The suit in which the horse was att tached was down in the docket of Justice E. c. Morse as Brisetts vs. Minor.

SCHOOL LEAGUE
 ADVOCATED FOR
 COMING SEASON
Basketball League Urged fex Southeastern Alaska for
 Next School Year.

There are at least ten towns could have basketball teams" says a writer in the ketchikan School News. As yet there has been no league established so that the games played have been solely on the exhi- bition order, and do not show Who's Who in Alaska basketball. The ten teams would be: Metlakatla, Kasaan and Ketchikan, in this section; Wrangell, Petersburg, Juneau, Doug las, Thane, Haines and Skagway far ther North.
 "We would like to see steps taken before another basketball season opens, to form such a league It not only would boost the game, but get the schools acquainted, and foster that 'all,together push spirit that Al aska needs"
 The J. H. s. Views
 Such a league would help the towns of Southeastern Alaska to get acquainted with one another, also it would help to make basketball an interesting game by having outside games. Basketball also could be be put on a higher standard.
 But at the present price of fares to and from each town and the pres ent boat service. it would make it an. expensive affair and take much time. The Juneau High School would like to see such a league organized.
