Capt. Jas. Ward, In Wrangell 1882
 Returns For Summer

of the Klondike with stories of the big gold discovery there, so he sold the schooner and joined a party at the old trading post of Dyea, early in the year of 1897 and mushed over the Chilkoot Pass, and into the Dawson country. The best of the creeks had by that time been staked by tEe miners who had rushed up the ice from the Forty Mile and Circle City after George Carmacks had brought word there of the gold discovery.
 Captain Ward did very well by working lays in the Klondike and later joined in the Nome rush, leaving Nome a year later with $30,0G0 stake. From Nome he re turned to southeastern Alaska and went to the new town of Ketchi- kan where he stayed until 1901 when he put in a year at the Olym- pie Mining Company's camp on Duncan Canal. During this time he was in and out of Wrangell frequently.
 In 1902 he again engaged in trading and took a schooner into the Cook Inlet country. At Sel- dovia he married a daughter of Captain Richard Bowen, who had come to Alaska in the early sos. Capt Bowen had a saltery and his own post for several years but at that time was in charge of all the Northern Commercial Company stores from Yakutat to Dutch Har- bor.
 Russian Missionaries
 Mrs. Wards mother was born in Alaska, the daughter of missionaries sent from St. Petersburg, Russia, to carry on the work of the Greek Catholic church.
 When the Alaska Railroad was building in 1915, Captain Ward moved to Anchorage where he was employed by the Alaska Railroad Commission until his retirement on pension two years ago. His wife died in 1924 leaving him with five children of whom he is very proud. His daughter, who is English teach CT in the Palmer high school in the Matanuska Valley. he hopes will jain him here a little later.

FOR IRISH CAME MOST VALUABLE

James Emory Foxx, power house
of the Boston Red SoX in particu-

general, today stands alone as the
only player in the Junior circuit to
be thrice named the most valu-
able player of his orbit. He has
previously been named in 1882 and
1888.
He received the unique deSigna-
ton when a committee of the base
ball writer's of Amefica voted him
the most valuable for the 1888 sea-
son, following his amazing come
back after a depressing season in
1887.
Jarring James not only played
l49 games this year out Of a pos
sible 154, but he blasted to the
fore of the league in batting and
in runs batted in. He accomplished
these feats under the most dis
|heartening crcumstance-being a
summer-long sufferer from sinus.
It was Foxx's powerful bludgeon
that was responsible for the Red
Sox finishing up there behind the
New York Yankees-more than
any other single element on the
team.
Foxx is the first Boston player
in either league ever to receive the
