COMMUNIST DRIVE
HERE DENOUNCED
Southeast Citizens Will Study
Literature Read by School
Children.

The spreading of Communistic litera-
ture in elementary schools of the Dis
trict was f1ayed by members of the
Southeast Citizens Association, meet
ing last night at the Southeast branch
of the Public Library, Seventh street
and Pennsylvania avenue southeast.
In a fiery speech to the group o. j.
Dayey, member of the association, de-
clared the Communist party here is
working on the minds of children from
10 to IL years of age who are attending
the graded schools.
"These children are far too young to
realize just what the doctrines Of these
Communists are" Davey said. II have
talked to several youngsters attending
the graded schools. They are told to
denounce the Boy Scout organization of
America. They are told to fight against
the bosses of the country, and they
are far too young to comprehend just
what it is all about"
The association voted to collect all
Communistic literature which is read
by school pupils, and after careful
study of the propaganda to consider
whether an investigation will be con-

ton will be taken up at the next
meeting.
Endorsement Of Maj. Gen. Herbert
Crosby for q District Commissionership
was given in a resolution unanimously
passed. Members declared that Crosby's
capability as a leader of men was
proven, in so much as he had reached
the grade of major general in the United
States Army.
The secretary was directed to ask
the Board Of Education to offer Henry
Ford the ground at Thirteenth street
and Potomac avenue southeast as a
site for vocational school. Members
said that Ford would probably be more
than willing to use part of the $780,
100000 fund he has donated for school
buildings to build the school. At the
present time the site is being used as
lumber yard by the District.
A resolution approving the appointing
OF matronS for elementary schools in
the District was passed.

MARBLE BASE ORDERED
FOR TECUMSEH STATUE
Bronze Figure of Indian Warrior
to Be Unveiled at Naval
Academy During June.


The Commission of Fine Arts was
notified yesterday by Rear Admiral A.
L. willard, commandant of the WASH
ington Navy Yard, that an order has
been placed for a marble base for the
bronze statue of Tecumseh, which will
be placed in the Spring on a pedestal
in front of Bancroft Hall at Annapolis.
The statue has been cast at the navy
yard and is being finished in prepara-
ton for the expected unwilling and ded-
ication before or during June week,
when commencement exercises are held
at the Naval Academy.
The new statue of Tecumseh, who
was a famed chief of the Greek Indians
of the Southeast and was crushed in
the War of 1912, is to be presented to
the Naval Academy by the class of 1891
and will replace an old wooden statue
which once was the figurehead of a
United States. ship of war. Hallowed
traditions gathered for generations
about the wooden statue of the Indian
chieftain and it became one of the re-
vered shrines of the midShipmen, who
believed if they threw coins at the
statue good luck would come to them.
A few months ago the old statue was
taken down and cast made of 1t in
bronze, which will be presented to the
academy later in the year as gift of
the class of 1891. The new statue and
the base of marble have been approved
by the Commission of Fine Arts.

the beach, with a few log cabins in clearings in the timber back from the shore" said Mrs. Palmer in re- calling the youthful days of the community. Before there was any organized school, a private teacher MT. Hugo, came to the homes of children, and instructed them. He taught my brothers and me. When the Willard Mission School was es- tablished, white children attended it. The first public school was held in the Log Cabin Church; Miss Mamie Murphy was the first public school teacher. was in her classes and remember her with great af- lection.
 T think the Log Cabin Church was the first house of worship. It's faith was Presbyterian. Before its establishment, gious services, conducted sometimes by clergymen, sometimes by laymen, were held in homes.
 Simple and Restrained
 "Amusements of my girlhood were simple and restrained They con- sisted of house parties, dances in homes and picnics. None of these diversions was of frequent occur renee.
 ''The growth of the city seems of panoramic character to me, as I look back on it. Tents were suc- ceeded by log cabins; log cabins by lumber structures; narrow mud dy trails were widened into mud dy streets, and there were improved successively by corduroy, plank and asphalt surfaces.
 Tn the beginning and for years subsequently,, First or Front Street was the principal business thor oughfare. For a long time after it's northerly side was occupied with buildings, it's southerly side was unimproved, Tapped by the waves at medium or high tide, and a usual place to keep canoes and oth- CT kinds of small boats.
 Change Caused by Ships
 First and Main Streets did not lose preeminence as business thor oughfares ntil the steamships changed their stopping places from the wharf at the foot of Main Street to the present piers on the easterly side of Gastineau Channel.
 "Juneau's growth from infancy to her present period of maturity may be likened in some manner to human development. Her advance has not been uniform; at times she took spurts; at times she seem- ed to stop. But really her progress has never been stayed.
 Ages of cities, like ages of per- sons, are of q relative nature. Ju- neau on her fiftieth birthday anni- versary seems young to me"

EPIC JOURNEY
 ACCOUNTED BY
 MAIL CARRIER
Carrier of First Juneau-Cir- cle Mail in 1884
 Tells billiard Trip

Recollections of an epic journey from Juneau to Circle City or the overland route-with the frs winter mail ever despatched to tho upper Yukon River mining camr were stirred here this week with 1 the visit of Albert Caldwell, whc with his uncle. Capt. Jimmy Jack. son, was the mail carrier. It re- quired three months and was made under hardships unknown now foi many years.
 The trip was in 1894 IA years af- ter gold was discovered here, three years before the Klondike, and ir all of the vast northland of the interior settlement was largely con- fined to Indian villages with an oc- casional prospector's or trappers cabin.
 There was no White Pass and Yukon Railroad, and the Alaska Railroad was two decades away from being conceived. Juneau was thriving gold camp, and the Treadwell stamps were crushing quartz across the Channel But north of here there was no pro- ducing mines to indicate that in a few years the bonanzas of the Klon- dike region were to thrill the world.
 On December 19, 1894, Caldwell, a 10-year-old Wrangell boy, and Capt Jackson left Juneau for Cir cle City, their route lying up the Taku River to the Windy Arm of the Tagish, thence on the long trek down the Yukon. They had team of shepard dogs and sled loaded with first and second class mail for Circle City.
 The first leg of the journey, end ing at Windy Arm was not diff cult, except for extreme cold after leaving the coast. Each day of travel found it growing colder. The shepard dogs were not hardy enough to withstand the rigors of an inter- for winter
 One by one they died from cold and exposure until at Tagish only three were alive. The mail car- riers had taken but a few food staples with them, expecting to live off the game of the country. But the game could not be found Eat ing became a problem
 Realizing that their dogs could not serve them for transport much longer, the two men killed the last three, skinned them out and put them in sacks This was their main source of meat on the trip. Then with the mail on their sled they headed down river on their 475- mile mush.
 Even though a quarter of cen tury has gone by since, Caldwell has a vivid recollection of that journey over frozen river whose solitudes were almost never broken, in cold that neither had ever be- fore felt, and which was abnormal even for the north. U was March Is, 1895 when they made their des tination. On their backs was the first class mail with which they started, but the second class mail had been burned on nights when they made snow camps and there was no other available fuel. The sled was discarded when the bulky mail was gone.
 Caldwell, who took out fortune in the Klondike, and saw it take wings in the States, has resided at various places since then. Five years he spent at Whitehorse, where Capt. Jackson still makes his home. For sometime Caldwell has been employed by Libby, McNeill and Libby on the floater Washing ton He visited old friends here this week while it was in port. He still claims Wrangell as his home.

Surveys made by traffic experts indicate tourist traffic for 1881 probably will be more nearly nor- nal than in the current season, said E. J.

 Mrs. Farr and Mrs. Fothergill are accompanying their husbands. The party was scheduled to go to Lake Bennett today and return south on the Prince Henry tonight.
 The tourist business was hit hard by the industrial and business de- pression that has been worldwide for the past year, MT. Farr and MT. Fothergill agreed The Anchor Line, the latter said. handled more transatlantic passengers out Of Montreal this season than in 1929, but there was a big decline in the first class travel. All of the trans portation companies believe that de- terrent conditions will have largely been overcome by the opening of the spring travel next year, and the tourist movement will be virtually back to it's normal volume.
