DAY PROPERLY OBSERVED BY EXCURSION, DANCING AND
 OTHER EVENTS.
Special Correspondence.

McGRATH, July 5.-McGrath cele- brated the Fourth of July this year in a very thorough manner, many people arriving in town from up and down the Kuskokwim and from Takotna.
 The day was given over entirely to festivities. In the afternoon, through the kindness of Captain George A.. Green, the river steamer Tana took the merrymakers, estimated at about 150, up the Kuskokwim river for a delightful excursion. The dancing was done on a barge, the Captain hav- ing made it safe for the children by putting fence at earh end. Dancing and refreshments were the order of the day. Candies, apples, oranges and decious ice cream and lemonade were consumed in large quantities by the excursionists. The Tana returned to McGrath in the evening.
 After supper the races were held, many of the prizes being carried off by t-of town visitors. A feature of the races was the ladies race, which was won by Mrs. Winnifred White. Mrs. Konig and Mrs. Liske having tied, they were persuaded to run it over, much to the delight of all. AL bert Ivey won the mems race; young Joe Sterling of Takotna winning the boys race, with Eddie Konig winning second prize. The girls, who were much more numerous than the boys, had a number of interesting races.
 After the sports William Kruhm turned his roadhouse over to dancing, serving delicious lunch around mid- night. The dancing continued until early hours of morning.

Stroller's Oldest Paper.

The Nome Nugget, in recent headline, claims the distinction of being the oldest newspaper in Alaska. The Nugget is now on Volume B, No. 8. Stroller's was started over a year before the Nome Ngget was first issued, in fact this paper was pup when Nome was a barren beach. Thirty-four years have waxed and waned since the first issue of Stroll ler's appeared at Fort Wrangell, the paper later moving to Douglas and changing it's name to the Douglas Island News. Later it removed to Juneau and blossomed out into The Stroller's Weekly.
 In all this time, however, the paper has never missed an issue.

A Bit of Alaska History Regardin
 Potatoes.
Yakutat Weekly.)


 Bancroft tells us that the first pc -tatoe sin Southeastern Alaska were planted in 1795 at Three Saints Bay on Kodiak Island by representatives of Russian fur traders
 The Indians of Southeastern Alaska are said to have had potatoes before the establishment of the Russian set clement at Sitka in 1904.
 In 1783 company of Siberian merchants stationed two ships in Three Saints Bay, fortified their crew against attack by the natives and took possession of the region for the establishment of headquarters for the fur trading posts in Russian America, as Alaska was then called. Their set tiers, 50 in all, planted several gar dens with cabbages and potatoes and introduced some cows and goats to add to their comfort. In 1792 the headquarters were removed to Ko- diak, where missionaries grew poto- toes and turnips successfully.

 "Go ahead" I said. indulging her, as I usually do, in even this unusual request.
 Look at my toes!" she com- manded, proudly wriggling them, and all but dazzling me with the bright red coral nail polish she had applied to her toe nails.

 Sally grinned. T haven't gone in for posing-yet; but I'm going to the beach tomorrow and l want to wear my new red whining suit and sandals. I thought 1t would be attractive if my finger nails and toe nails both matched my suit"
