NAME IS NOT IN DICTIONARY
T Teuionnaire" Not Yet in Official Guide-Promises to Hold for
 All Time to Come.

The American Legion Weekly com ments on New Zealand Newspapers s use of the word "legionary" to denote a member of the American Legion. "The word Iegionary' has an honored place In the dictionary which legion naire' has not as yet, the Weekly points out. But all the sentiment, and it is a case where sentiment counts, Is on the side of 'legionnaire. Legionary' connotes an embattled Ro- man, toting a shield and spear for Julius Caesar. Legionnaire' calls to mind (from the French point of view) regiment of foreigners of the French Foreign Legion.
 Legionnaire' as indicating a mem Der of the American Legion, seems too firmly established to dislodge. We must remember that all Legions-Ro. man, Foreign and American-had one thing in common: They fought in France"

and cigars had almost put them to sleep, and this morning they ad- init they liked it. One Townie who hasn't been feeling well for week and who tried to beg ( off from the feed this morning announced that the dinner had cured all his ills and that he feels just as well as he ever did
 No speaking was planned on the program but, of course, they had to hear from "Col. Dick" who has been away so long. He is Chairman of the Transportation Committee of the Interdepartmental Board of Alaska and he naturally talked roads, rail roads and feeders, all for the up- building of the camp. Trying to stop the talk at the end of "Col. Dicks" remarks, the News-Miner met with opposition from John Cralk, melted by George Parks, who told the transportation men what could be done to help the camp and then Manager Knickerbocker felt con- pelled to reply to MT. Clark, and to explain his companys ideas and de- sires, his remarks being very en- couraging to those present. The party then broke up, fed to the lim- it, and took auto rides to get fresh aid and the scent of the flowers which grow along the roadside.
 It was just a little bit of appre- citation for Col. Richardson, and it grew, and at the finish we were glad of it. We were not surprised that the meal was the success it was, nor that those present got along so well together and enjoyed it. The guests were Col, Richardson, Major Got walls, George Parks, F. M. Kn1ck- erbocker, John H. Bunch, Wm. M. Beach and George McM. Cooley, big game hunters from New York, George Preston, George Hutchinson, R. H. Humphreys, John A. Clark, A.. J. Nordale, Cecil H.

PLEASANT TIME HAD BY ALL AT
 FAIRBANKS

That the recent influx of visitors toT Fairbanks w&s attended by fes- tivities of more than ordinary felic- itation is indicated by the following exuberant account by Friend Thomp- son, of the News Miner, in a recent issue of his live publications:
 When our old friend Col. Richard son was known to be on the trail headed for here with Major Got walls, the News-Miner came to the conclusion that it was up to it to give "Col. Dick" party and 1t was so ordered The party started with a guest list of five and ended with 21, No. P being compelled to drop out on account of having all his teeth pulled an hour before the party. toothless man at a feast would be Bear With a Sore Head! Further increase in the size came i. with the intelligence that travelling @iNhin a few feet of the Richard son-GotwaIs auto were the two autos of Jim Galen, of Cordova carrying General Manager Knickerbocker, of the Alaska Steamship Company, and Freight and Passenger Agent Bunch, with their families-also that George Parks was with the first outfit The visit of the steamship men could be for no other purpose than to mix with the shippers and get acquainted in the interests of closer and kind Her relations, so the thing to do seemed to be to start that get-to- gether stuff for the steamship men and the wns-people an hour after the visitors arrived. Thus it was necessary to invite shippers and townspeople to meet them, and so the party grew.
 It began at the Terrace Garden Vat 6, or whereabouts, and as the feast was all home-raised, every. body there voted that the food could not have been better, anywhere. Be- fore, the meal was half through the guests were hollering for help-they had had enough. But we held their o,seet under the table until the coffee
