ALASKAN FACTS

= The largest city in Alaska Is the
capital, Juneau, with population of
4,043 in 1890. The total white popu-

the most important industry; other in
dustries are gold, copper, silver and
coal mining, numbering, fur farming
and trapping, reindeer raising, etc.
There is great diversity In climate; in
the interior a temperature of 60 de-
grees below zero in winter is not I'M
usual, with a temperature of 80 de-
grees in the summer, but on the coast
the thermometer rarely falls below

Now that the former Westchester

Somehow doubt whether it is en-

Vet golf is bound by far more rigid
standards of probability than most
other games, and there is a steadily

come close to par on every round.
SO it seems that even though Run

First Football Helmet

D ACK in the early days of football,

plays and no forward passes, its husky
players wore little of the protective
armor of later days. They went into
the fray bare-headed-and hoped for
the best!
So on December 2, 1893, when the
Navy team trotted out on the field for
the fourth game of the first series
played with the Army, spectators
looked with amazement at one of the
Navy players. 1t was Capt. Joseph NJ.
contraption on his head. 1t was a
heavy felt pad, covered with doeskin,
and tied with leather straps under his
chin, which made him look very much
like a Tibetan lama.
But there was good reason for his
wearing it. The hard-hitting captain
had suffered head injury, and if he
didn't play, defeat of the Navy was
almost certain. So the coach had the
trainer fashion this helmet-the first
ever used in football-for him and it
enabled him to stay through the whole
game which the Navy won by score
of 6 to A.
The Captain Reeves of 1S93-94 in Ia
ter years became Rear-Admiral Reeves
and a member of the general board in
the Navy department at Washington.
Another member of that team was also
known then as "Spooney" Churchill,

Americans was to know him as Win
ston Churchill, author of "The Cross

other distinguished novels of American
life. y

But write" for so tits written right!

Baby-Swapping
= = =
By Elmo Scott Watson

bdDy-SWdpplnS
THE "baby-swapping" incident in
Owen Wister's "The Virginian" was
no figment of the novelist's imagination.
1t was based on fact, even though 1t
took place in Kansas instead of Wy
oming.
In October, 1867, Capt. Perry Hutch
inson finished erecting -four mill on
the Big Blue river, only short dis
lance from the Oregon Trail, near the
present city of Maryville, Kan. Then
he and his wife decided to hold a
"house warming" and invite settlers
from all parts of the county to dance
to be held on the lower floor of the
mill. An upper room was arranged
for a banquet and an adjoining room,
also upstairs, was fixed for the moth
ers who brought their babies.
1t was into this room that three
young daredevils of the community
Dave Walker, Gale Osborne and Andy
Travelute-stole quietly while the par
ents of the youngsters were enjoying
their dance below and mixed up the
babies, just as WiSter has described
the incident in his book. And 1t was
to the mill early the next morning that
the indignant fathers and mothers
came to swap offspring" and get back
their own.
How did the incident become trans
planted to Wyoming? Two of the in
dignant parents were DR.. and Mrs. ].
]. Crawford. A brother of Doctor
Crawford was Capt. Jack Crawford,
the famous "Poet-Scout," who was
friend of SWister's and told him the tale.
At a dance in the Bear Creek country,
which Wister attended one night while
he was in Wyoming, he remembered
the yarn. Result: it was woven into
his story and attributed to his fictional
heroes. "the Virginian" and Lin Nc
Lean"
