make the point the senlloffielal
summer colony of washington ana
Baltimore. Following q tour Of
inspection yesterday It was learned
that the entire point, except for
thA Government reservation at the
lighthouse. had been placed in the
development section,
Point Lookout has one advantage
that Ia found rarely at other SUM
mer places. The beach at the point
IL over five miles long and the
swimming is wonderful. The water
Ia salt, not brackish as found in
the upper river.
A Reach for All
ON the river side OF the point
one does not have to go quite 200
feet before they are in water deep
enough to swim in. On the bay
side, however, one must go several
hundred feet more before they
reach the real deep water, 1t is
a safe beach for children and for
nonswimmers who like to wade
about and splash themselves with
water. There is sand bottom and
no undefcurrent.
Immense rollers sometimes pile
themselves along the bay side Of
the point. For those who like
ocean swimming with the real
breakers this place has it.
There are III Iled bathhouse facil-
tiles on the point near the Govern.
ment lighthouse. They viii accom-
modaLe about 100 bathers. There
is also soft drink stand incor.
porated with the bathhouse.
Point Lookout is replete with his
toFic lore. During the civil war
three immense earfhen forts served
to guard the Potomac River from
the Confederate forces. Thousands
of captured prisoners were kept in
confinement there until the close
of the war.
Monument to War Dead
On the road to the point is tower
ing, shaft of granite which bears
a bronze tablet saying that it was
placed there by the United States
in memory of the 1884 Confederate
soldiers and sailors who died while
prisoners of war at Fort Lookout
during the war.
According to the tablet the bodies
of these men were buried at the
spot where 1t now stands but were
later removed, or else placed in
unknown graves.
Another thing that makes Point
Lookout a thing OF beauty from
the historic standpoint is the
weathered lighthouse. The old
light and tower was huilt In 1880
and came through unscathed for
more than 80 years. In 1927 it was
rebuilt and living quarters were
added to the actual tower itself 30
that today it looks like strong
lv built house except for the light
which rears itself from the roof
ike a small tin hat.

ia what appears to be q wreck that
went ashore years ago. After talk
ing to the hghtkeeper, who always
welcomes visitors, it was learned that

on the night of January 5, 1929. To-
day it is encrusted with harnacies

A MATTER OF GEOGRAPHY

A writer in Chicago paper called the Journal of American Medical Association, predicts that the white race will eventu- ally turn brown. That writer has probably made a. trip to Alaska where streaks of brown in the white race or streaks of white in the Brown race are not unusual.-Stroller's Weekly.
 We rather think Stroller got his geography slightly mixed. The mixture of the white with brown in Alaska tends to the white. The mixture of the white with the brown of Georgia, from whence comes Your Uncle the prolific story teller, is to show various streaks from yell low to dark brown-in either race.

Once again the people of the Territory witness. the spectacle of a Legislative assembly gum shoeing itself into office and then springing surprise legisla- tion that was not the product of a political platform or dis cussed by the individual mem bers while canvassing for office.

APOLOGISE FOR THEIR OWN
 PAPER

A recent attack by the Seward Gateway on Representative Tar water has provoked the severe criticism of the Seward Cham Der of Commerce. The Club in a letter to Representative Tar water state that the Gateway does not express the Sentiment of the people of Seward.
 Evidently the people of Sew ard are not in sympathy with the policy of their paper if one is to judge from the political policy of that paper and the lection returns of the Seward precincts.

Scow Bay long enoug hto load on two scowloads of fish and freight.
 The Alaska went thru north bound on less than half tide when the runout was a four foot minus tide and yet is unable to stop in this port on a full aver age tide.
 The recent mishap of the Alaska hitting the beach at the north entrance was due to poor judgement on the part of the captain trying to get through on a minus tide with not enough water to float his ship. Then the port is blamed for the poor navigation of an officer.
 The Northwestern, Alameda and Queen are all able to stop in this port tho each one of them is harder to navigate than the Yukon or Alaska.
 The companies blamed the Narrows before it was dredged and since it was dredged they say it is worse. It is presumed that when the work on the Mar rows is finally completed the steamers won't even blow their whistles when going by.

MINERS WIN BUTTON DEMAN

A remarkable example of uni on loyalty was recently given by 1000 miners employed by the Le- nigh Coal and Navigation Com pany at Panther Creek, Pa.
 The union regulations require that buttons indicating paid up dues shall be periodically dis played.
 A few of the miners, evidently encouraged by the company, re- fused to obey the rule, where upon the men in one of the mines quit work, taking the po- sition that a man without 3 button was "scabbing" on the union.
 The company countered with an announcement that it would shut down the struck" mine and the miners retorted that they would finish the job by closing all the mines.
 That settled it. The company backed down and the mines are operating full blast.-LABOR Washington, D. c.
