came to Alaska in 1898 and
never left the country. A grad

four-story hotel used by the M
& M Packing Company at Sell

saved the main saltery build
ing and mems quarters. The
loss is estimated at $4,000.
The buildings will be rebuilt

Pupils of the secondary schools here
who took part in the contest have
been much interested in the words
Of President Coolidge regarding the
Constitution. He has declared: "The
Constitution Of the United States is
the final refuge of every right that is
enjoyed by any American citizen. So
long as it is observed, those rights
will be secure. Whenever 1t falls into
disrespect or disrepute, the end of or
derly, organized government, as we
have known it for more than 125
years, will be at hand.
The Constitution represents a gov
ernment of law. There is only one
other form of authority, and that is
a government of force. Americans
must make their choice between these
two. One signifies justice and lib
erty, the other tyranny and oppres-
sion To live under the American
Constitution is the greatest political
privilege that was ever accorded to
the human race.
