Barn Dance Huge
 Success

The barn dance given by the Moose lodge at the gym Saturday night was one of the most success ful affairs of the kind that ever took place in Wrangell.
 No efforts were spared to make the event a really typical barn dance. There were bales of hay, pens of turkeys and other familiar evidences of farm life. The dance attracted one of the largest crowds eyer seen in the gym and great credit is due to the committee on arrangement of which George Lotz was the very capable chairman.
 The costumes and make-ups of some of the dancers were great. There were instances where the disguises were so complete that the affair had the suggestion of being q masquerade.
 Without exception those in at tendance expressed themselves as having highly enjoyed the frolic.
 It is said that this is only the beginning of a series of unique so- cial events to be staged under the auspices of the Moose during the winter season. It was a good be- ginning and presages many enjoy able affairs.

VALUE OF ALASKA BIG GAME

Alaska's big game regions will permit of a thousand or more big game hunters annually, in the opin- ion Of Eice-president Evans of the Moline Flow company, who recently .ook the limit in trophies on the Kenai Peninsula.
 IndiseussingtheY of Alaska's s big game as al. income matter MT. Evans said that the average hunter you'd expend a thousand dollars within the Territory. which meaBs a million dollars annually to be dis tributed between guides. and paid ut in license fees. etc.
 Mr. Evans pointed out the neces- sity for comprehensive data on big game hunting in Alaska as well as pamphlets be issued, together with those interested. He suggested that getting this data intoNthe hands of suggestions as to outfits, guns, etc., where and when guides may be se- zured. and all plans having to do with a trip to the big game coun- try.
 M EApEIiEIIC III lnS 2EdEGSY said Mr Evans, was that every sporting goods store I visited tried to unload worthless goods on me. 4 big game hunter finds himself loaded up with paraphernalia, guns. etc, that become a burden and are useless as he discovers when he ar rives in Alaska and gets into the hands of the splendid men who guide him and help him enjoy his outing. If the information as sug- gested is disseminated in the prop CT centres. there is no doubt but AL aska will be the most popular big game region in the world and the Territory will derive immense bene- fit from this source of revenue and possibly aid herselfin ether develop ments. ."-Anchorage Times.

Flag or Emblem Contest Suggested
 For Alaska

Does Alaska need an official em= bIem or flag ? We have a Territori= al seal an Alaska fIoNer-the for get=me=not. and a fairly adequate number of legal holidays but have not as yet an official flag. Govern or Parks has brought To the atten- ton of the Department the faet that Alaska stands almost alone among the various staets and ter ritories of the United States in this last named regard and has sug- gested the adFisability of launching flag design contest among the school children of the Territory. fhe matter has been referred to the Alaska Department of the American Legion for action since this organization probably is in a better position than any other to foster such a movement Several Legion posts already have taken favorablee action and it Is likely that definite plan will be worked out and announced in the near fu- ture.
 Flag designers among any and all of the sehooIsehildren in Alaska therefore should be studying the matter with a view to submitting designs to the flag committee at the proper time and place. t is ex- peeted that substantial and at traetive prizes will be provided for the winners. It is also the hope of the sponsors of the movement that the Alaska Legislature will think enough of the design chosen to adopt it as Alaska's official flag at it's 1927 session which convenes in Juneau next Mareh.-Alaska School Bulletin

The Usual Thing

Eve need business man." we
said, ito act as Pumpkin City's head:
we need a man whose own affairs give
proof that he most surely wears q
head that is not stuffed with bran
a prosperous, successful man. Too
long we have been ruled by skates
who are not mental heavyweights;
cheap chronics who for years have
made of office holding just trade.
Our city's face to face, we find, with
problems of a drastic kind; we need
them as they deserve There was
one gentleman in sight who seemed to
fill requirements, quite. We called on
James McBrindle Brown, the prop
and pillar of the town, to run for
mayor, for we knew that he was gift
ed, fine and true. He bore a high
and princely name, there was no blem-
iSh on his fame; by righteous means
he had acquired wad whose weight
would make you tired. He had no
wish for office, yet he made the race
with no regret, when duty calls"
he said, 81 wot I must be Johnnie on
the spot. Then we elected him, OF
and whooped around till we
were hoarse. NOW Pumpkin City
has a chance" we cried, "to prosper
and advance; with q such a man
as ]. M. Brown to hold the
chair of office down, with worth and
virtue at the helm, all obstacles Wen
But hardly had he been
sworn in before detractors raised
din; they tried to prove his record vile,
his motives all were based on guile,
we'd have to watch him or he'd nail
the city's store of hard earned kale.
They broke his heart, disturbed his
mind, and in a little he resigned. And
now when good men are approached
and office holding schemes are
hroached, they turn all propositions
down; I'VE don't forget" they say,
poor Brown" WALT MASON.
