Cue To Be Named
 Chief Shakes

At an impressive and colorful ceremony centuries old and rarely seen by white man, the Wrangell Indian people will elevate to the position of Chief Shakes their pres ent leader, Skakash Cue. on June and 4.
 skakash Cue. commonly known as Charlie Jones, speaking through an interpreter at a meeting of towns people last night in the City Hall, aeeeded to the demand upon him to accept the honor.
 Standing tall and stately, the Chief-eleet, who has never taken the complete ceremony for full chieftainship. to which he is entitled by right of birth and rank, said that it was with deep feeling he accepted the honor. It is not his wish to be elevated to the venerable position occupied with such dignity by the late Chief Shakes, Skakash Cue in his own language explained, but if it is the wish of his people and white leaders of the community that he do so, he would aecede to their wishes.
 At last nights meeting, called by a committee of the Chamber of Commerce and attended by repres- entative people of the community, it was unanimously requested that Chief-eleet Skakash Cue do so. With Louis F. PauI, President of the Al aska Native Brotherhood serving as interpreter, Mrs. Paul, George Col lins, Joe Thomas and William Tam aree, all outstanding representatives of the Wrangell Indian people, es- corting him, the Chief-elect was an honored attendant at the session at which time preliminary steps were taken for holding a house-warming in Wrangell on the above dates for the dedication of reconstructed Shakes Island.
 Outstanding event of the affair will be the ceremony eIcvating the Indian leader to his rightful and honored position, a matter left en- tirely in the hands of his own peo- pie.

YUMA AND MEXICALI

 Two places he visited that didn't win him were Yuma and Mexieali.
