With the Wien Alaska Airways all metal cabin plane, went Harold L. Stokes, an old Alaskan. who first came to the Northland during the early rush of 1897. having land ed at Skagway where he established general store, later going into the Atlin country and thence down to Dawson where he was engaged in the butcher business and min ing until the year 1905 when he came to Nome, and has been a resident of this place ever since. He goes to San Francisco to seek surgical attention for an old chro- nic trouble.
 On the twentieth of March in the Maynard Columbus hospital, died man. He was Charles Ato- man .an Eskimo, from Unalakleet, who came here by plane to be treated for the malignant disease that rapidly, notwithstanding the skill and care of Dr. O'Hara and the hospital attendants, eat his life away.
 Charles Atoman was for over. 30 years the friend of the white man and at the same time one of the best examples of purely Eskimo manhood in Alaska.
 A guide to mail carriers and tra- yellers in days when no stakes guided the weary traveller to safe- ty. he always made good whether it was an all day trek with snow shoes ahead of a dog team, guiding the team to safety in blinding blizzard, or over dangerous and treacherous ice, he always gave of his best. looking to the comfort and safety of others before he thot of himself His absolute honesty was unquestioned and he held posi- tions of trust and responsibility to the satisfaction of his employers.
 The news of his death will cause many men to pause and for his soul prayer to say, and at his bed side the valkyrie surely gathered for they love a man.

 These Monday night programs are given at 6:30 p. m.

MEMORIAL DAY EXERCISES
 HELD BY AMERICAN LEGION

Memorial Day exercises were held last Thursday morning at the Red mems Hall under the auspices of the American Legion. The address was made by the Rev. H. P. Corser.
 Near the close of the World War the speaker said that he chanced to meet in Chicago, a colonel who had participated in the terrible battles that followed the taking of Chateau Thierry. In one of the struggles a large portion of his regiment was lost. He said, "Un- less this is a war to end war, America had better make the best terms possible and get out of it."
 Does not this thought suggest, D said Mr Corser. what the sacrifices of the soldier dead should mean to us? No one feels the evils of war more than the soldier and our covenant with him is always to keep wide open the pathway to peace"
 The speaker went on to show what clogs this pathway. One point was foolish national jealousies If ever a war should come between this country and an Oriental na- tion. he said it would be caused by foolish racial suspicious, and bad manners toward other races which our people are so capable of.
 Another cause of war, he said, is suggested by the May Day riots that were so common through Europe. Injustice at home causes suspicious and hatreds which result in social wars, the most terrible of all wars. Therefore" said Mr Corser, strengthen the character of the weak. Give every one chance to work, and peace at home is secured. We are camping today on the old camp ground. Let us keep our covenant with the dead by making the country that they have died for a better and happier country"
 After the exercises in the hal the Legion held further memorial services at the cemetery where the graves of all soldiers buried there were decorated with wreaths. The services were then concluded with prayer by Staff Captain Acton after which John Stokes sounded taps,

SOurdOugh Stampede
 Seattle, Aug. 16-17-1S
A Friendly and Fraternal Reunion of All Former and Present Res idents of the Northland.

SEATTLE.-Plans are rapidly developing to make the great Sour dough Stampede" on August 16, IT and 18th. one of the biggest events of the summer in Seattle. It is to be held in the Civic Auditorium and through the cooperation of the Seattle papers and the Associated Press news stories about the event are already encircling the globe.
 The entire object of the "Stam- pede" is to give publicity to Al aska and the Yukon Territory-to bring before the people, In the guise of entertainment, the great truths about the commercial and agricultural possibilities that lie almost untouched in the North. To tell them something about the thrilling days of the first gold rush, a social reunion of old-timers-but more, to show them the vast un- tapped resources now awaiting the intelligent investment of capital.
 Mrs. Dorothy o'Keefe, an official of the Ladies of the Golden North, sails for Alaska from Vancouver on the Princess Adelaide on June Sth, accompanied by seven young ladies. Her trip is sponsored by the Stampede Committee of the All aska Pioneers and Ladies of the Golden North.

HISTORY OF DEER PARK
By J. w. KIMMELL.

History, either ancient or modern,
is always interesting. Time changes
all things material, so the changes of
time make history.
A Mr.. Droege, from the Father
land, father of the late E. F. Droege,
settled here long before the Civil War
and engaged in the manufacture of
liquor. He kept a large herd of fine
cattle which was fed and fattened
on the mash coming from his still.
After the War, Hon. Henry G. Dav-
is, whose farsightedness and keen pic
turization enabled him to see into the
future and to grasp it's possibilities,
bought large tracts of timberland COW
ering the country from what is now
known as the village Of Deer Park
and extending northward to Deep
Creek which separates Marsh Hill
from Roman Nose Mountain back of
the farm owned by the late John L.
Browning in his lifetime and now
possessed by his surviving sons, and
across the Youghiogheny River above
Swallow Falls.
Mr.. Davis located his first saw mill
on the land west of the ]. L. Brown
ing farm, near Deep Creek. Shortly
after the War the timber tract was
cut and the mill moved further down
the stream at a point near the breast
of the present Deep Creek hydro
electric dam. His lumber industry,
centering at Deer Park developed that
place and being located within the
lines of a tract of land called "Deer
Park" the natural result was that
the town should bear the same name.
Mr.. Davis, in order to carry the name
still further, enclosed large number
of acres of. land within park and in
it he turned loose a number of deer.
These animals soon adapted them
selves to the confines of the restricted
space and were thrifty for a number
of years following. Eventually, how
ever, they ran into the forests and
were killed by hunters.

MOTOR VEHICLE
FATALITIES

Last April the Travellers Insurance
Company of Hartford predicted that
10000 persons would be killed in
motor vehicle accidents in the United
States this year. The number in 1928
was 27,500. Statistics collected since
the first of the year indicate an in
crease of 10 per cent in 1929. Periodi-
cally the Department of Commerce
publishes reports from seventy-elght
cities with a population of about 3d.
100000. These are cities in which
traffic rules are supposed to be rigid
ly enforced. In the fiifty-two weeks
ending July Is there was in the
seventy-eight cities named by the De-
partment of Commerce an increase
of 734 fatalities over the correspond
ing period in 1929, according to
the New York Times.
Many more cars and trucks and
faster driving (up to sixty miles an
hour) would account for increasing
casualties, unless there was improve
ment in the skill and carefulness of
drivers. Unfortunately, the average
driver likes to travel fast, and does
not always have his car under control
in emergencies. In every community
there are men and women who excel
at the wheel, and they aressated as
much better than the average driver.
Owners of automobiles are much
given to talking of the growing risk
of driving in congested areas.
Motor Commissioner R. B. Stock
ell of Connecticut a few days ago is
sued an illuminating pamphlet on
driving a motor car. 1t is evident
that he does not have very good
opinion of the ordinary man OF wo-
man who sits at the wheel. He be-
lieves that the driver who makes it
a habit to dodge in and out of traf-
fic, as if he were accident-proof, is
sure to come to grief. Mr.. Stocked
asks "What's the hurry" when he
deals with the driver who is forever
burning up the road. Nobody" he
says, needs to take a chance or force
other people to do so at corners or
intersections, for the sake Of saving
ing few seconds" The commits
sioner holds that no person can be
a good driver unless che thinks about
his driving every moment while he IS
out" He must regard every one he
meets on the road as a potential
trouble 1t is poor driving,
he insists, to make speed down a
street lined with parked cars. Calm
ness in driving is of more Importance
than perfect ability to handle the
wheel" To be safe, the driver must
always carry on in the spirit of will
ingness to live and let live" Constant
education of drivers will be the great
est factor in reducing the appalling
casualty list.
