Jewish Wedding
Is Elaborate

Galatz, Rumania, Oct. 15.-One OF
the most elaborate weddings in his
tory was given the other day here
by Jewish rabbi for his daughter.
The feast was of Gargantuan pro-
portions. The guests, from all over
Rumania, numbered over 10000 men,
women and children. The food sup
plies consisted Of SO carcasses Of
beef. 21O sheep and ITO calves. The
geese prepared were so many that
their feathers made hill Of consid
cradle height.
The town was virtually occupied
by the wedding party, which largely
represented the wealth of Rumania,
though not it's landowners.
Suspecting some political design,
the ministry Of the interior garrison
ed the city heavily with police and
troops. ut-~there was no disturbing
incident Of any kind.

Coolidge Makes Sitka
 Cemetery Military Area
(Juneau Empire)

Under an executive order, signed by President Coolidge, on June 12, last, the old marine cemetery at Sit ka has been made a national ceme- tery, according to advices received by Col. James c. Steese, President of the Alaska Road Commission, which will have administrative charge of it.. Peter Trierschield has been appoint ed caretaker.
 Neglected for many years, over run with a tangle of weeds, brush and small trees, the cemetery pre- sented sorry appearance until about two years ago, when the Sitka post of the American Legion ini- tiated movement to have it prop erly cared for. It brought the mat ter to the attention of Gov. Scott c. Bone and through him secured an allotment from the Navy department for having it cleaned up. This mon ey was supplemented by individual effort. Later it was made national monumenteand a road was opened to it with Territorial funds and an al- lotment by the Alaska Road Com mission.
 Early in 1923, Col. Steese urged the Quartemaster General of the ArAmy to have it made a military cemetery in order that funds for proper maintenance would become available every year without the necessity of calling on Congress for special legislation. Owing to the con- fusion existing as to the department having control of the area some de- lay was encountered. Finally the tangle was strengthened out and the executive order of June 12, 1924, definitely sets it apart as a national cemetery and places it under he jurisdiction of the Army Quarter master Department. A letter just received by Col. Steese places it under the control of the Alaska Road Commission.
 Since the order became effective the bodies of seven soldiers, buried originally at Ft. Liscum, near Valdez have been removed from there and re-intered in the Sitka cemetery. In the future, instead of burying soldiers in cemeteries scattered about the Territory, they will be inferred in the Sitka burying ground, un- less otherwise specified by their relatives.

]. E. BALLANE CORRECTS
 CATEWAY'S STATEMENT

"The Gateway's article in its issue of August 28 Of the landing of the Santa Ana twenty-one years ago with the first construction crew for the Al ly acurrate," said John E. Ballaine in a statement to the Gateway before he left on the Alaska yesterday for Se- attle. MT. Ballaine was president of the Panama Construction company, which had the contract for building the Alaska Central, was general man. ager of the Alaska Central company, and was the founder of Seward. He came on the Santa Ana in charge of the first construction crew.
 "The Santa Ana arrived at nine o'clock the morning of August 28th, 1904" MT. Ballaine said. We tied up with a 200-foot hawser to spruce tree at the end of what is now Fifth avenue The Santa Ana lay just about where the railroad dock now is. We lightered our, freight and passen- gers to the beach at the end of the present Fifth avenue The whole town site was then dense forest. Mrs. Lowell's cabin, a log hut at the foot of First avenue owned by Anton Ide, and two log cabins that had been built and occupied by our surveying crews in 1902 both on Fifth avenue were the only buildings on the site of Seward.
 There were about fifty men in our construction crew from Seattle, and twenty-seven boarded the Santa Ana at Valdez. Of the fifty from Seattle, only Walter Jones, now in charge of engineering at Mile g is still resi- dent of Seward. Wallace Daykin with McMullen's grocery was small child and come with his parents on the Santa Ana from Seattle.
 "Of the number who boarded the boat at Valdez, T. w. Hawkins, Geo. Phelps, Lillie Gordon Schallerer, An dy Rasmussen and John 4. Nelson are still residents of Seward. MT. Nelson had been member of one of our survey parties in 1902.
 "Only four white men were on the beach when the Santa Ana arrived. They were Col Revelle and William Scheffler who has married daughters of Mrs. Lowell, the native woman, then living here with her family; Pete Pistol" Anderson, and Fred Laubner Anton Eide was resident of Valdez and was in Valdez at the time. Neither was w. H. Whittlesey here He was at Katalla when we came, although he had been with the survey party in 1902. He did not come to Seward as a resident until 1904 or later. MT. Eide had a cabin here, which he occupied during the winter months, when he carried mail between Resurrection bay and Sun rise.
 Our construction crew built the dock and got out ties and bridge tim bers during the winter of 1903-04, to be ready for construction in the ear ly spring of 1904. The dock was com pleted when the first spike was driv en April 16, 1904"

Party to Ascend Mt. Logan,
 Second Highest Mountain

An attempt will be made in 1925 to ascend Mt. Logan the highest peak in Canada and save and ex- cept Mt. Mckinley, the highest on the North American continent. Mt. Logan is located in the southern corner of the Yukon territory; is twenty-six miles from the north end of Mt. St. Elias; is twenty miles from the Alaska boundary and is about seventy miles from the shore of Yakutat bay, on the Pacific Coast. Its altitude, determined by photographic survey, is 19,850, and it's summit stands almost 14,00O feet above the level of the surrounding glaciers.
 The ascent will be attempted un- der the auspices of the Alpine Club of Canada, in cooperation with the American and English Alpine Clubs. Each of these clubs are invited to have a member with the climbing expedition.

Whittemore Has Quit
 Northland for Good
Seattle Alaska Weekly

E. L. Whittemore, for many years past a prominent business man of Seward, has disposed of his busi- ness there to Andy Beck and John White ,and his real estate holdings to his former associate, Leo. Mar gueles, and was an arriving passen- ger on the steamer Alaska this week. He is en route to San Diego, California, where he plans to make his future home. He will enter business with his son, Harry E.. Whittemore, who has built up a flourishing business under the name of the Whittemore Company, roof ing engineers. Harry is graduate of the Boston Tech. He entered the roofing business in San Diego some years ago ard has been most successful. He has been urging his father to join him for the past two years.
 Ed. Whittemore went to the Klondike during stampede days of quarter of a century ago. He and his partner made some money on 13 and IA above on Sulphur creek, right off the bat. Then Ed. and H. s. Turner, now a we'll known Seattle real estate man mined 65 below on Hunker creek. The claim was a bloomer. Ed. then went to Nome and remained there few years. The Alaska Central railroad started building from Seward, and Ed quit Nome and went to that embryo town. Save for few years in business in Cordova, when that town was put on the map by the Copper River & North Western rail- road, he has been in Seward ever since.
 Whittemore's host of friends in Alaska will regret to see him leave the Northland, and wish him all suc- cess in his new field of endeavor.
