 Mr. Knight drew a number of cari- Caturcs of the young women present at the dinner and created consider able amusement by depicting many of their individual characteristics.

Miss Ventlie Logan was shown receiving the kiwanis medal for being the most popular person in New Britain, an incident which occurred several years ago. Many others were drawn.
 Probably the greatest laugh was created at the expense of Miss Mar euerite Tracy. Miss Tracy had been recounting during the dinner an in- cident she had with a New Britain traffic policeman. when. she said. she found in this city the most pO- lie traffic cop in the world. The officer of the law actually said "Thank you.' according to Miss Tracy when she stopped her car at his request. She said it took her three days to get over the shock. While she was talking Mir. Knight, surreptiously made a sketch of the young woman. later reproducing the profile. automobile and policeman on the drawing.
 The sevelOpment Of newspaper cartoonng. with especial reference to some of the most familiar comic | strips, was explained by Mir. Knight. | who told Of interesting incidents in the life of Rube Goldberg and other cartoonists.
 MT. Knight was introduced by | Ernest F. Dechant of the Herald | staff. Mir Dechant told of Mir. 1 Knights experiences in New York | vaudeville, later as an artist broad l casting Uncle George" from WICC | at Bridgeport. and some of the car ! foonist's achievements in the news paper field.

Harry Watson Re eive s
 Equipment to Develop | McCinnis Creek Land

A Fordson tractor, scraping ma chine, and double hoist have been received by Harry Watson, secre- tary to the Governor of Alaska, to be used in development of his holdings at the junction of Mon- tana and McGinnis creeks at the foot of Mt. McGinnis. This was made known today by MT. Wat son, who disclosed partially hls plans for the summers work.
 Last August MT. Watson secur. ed several sections of land in the vicinity of the creeks junction some distance from the cabin To- cated on the old Eagle River wagon road. Little developmen. work was done last fall, MT. Wat son said today, and during the winter months the inclement weather has materially hinderel what work was attempted on the property.
 ''In our prospecting last fall we discovered low grade placer work ings on the property" said MT. Watson, which indicated possi- biities of dirt which would pay fairly well. plan to go ahead this summer on small scale with the work. and by next fall should know the possibilities of the hold ings.
 As only limited prospecting has been done so far. it is difficult to tell whether or not development of the land would pay on more than a small scae. Should tn work this year reveal as much as we hope, we plan to eventually make a dredging proposition out of the property said MT, Watson
 In this same section of the Me, Ginnis country there are numer- ous other claims staked out, and among the claimants who worked with favorable reports last year were John Fremming, Toni Tarro and Frank Vincentfni.
