Alaska Had Miiiiia In kineiies

The National Guard which will be organized in Alaska in the near future is not the first in the Ter ritory's history.
 Back in the nineties Alaska had guard, as is proved by a yellow ing photograph and tattered flag in the Territorial Museum here.
 The 30 men and drummer boy of the 1st Regiment, Alaska Mili- tia, polished up their six rifles, set their spiked helmets at the proper angle and posed for their picture at Skagway on Memorial Day, 1899.
 The photograph, a gift of the late John Mclaughlin, is captioned list Regiment of AN.G., Memorial Day, 1899, Skaguay." AN.G is be- lieved to stand for Alaska Ma tiona Guard"
 The Regiments silk flag had A stars
 ReasCn fer disbanding the Guard, according to the Rev George Beck of Ketchikan who visited here this week, was that the United States feared Canada would consider the Alaska militia a threat to peaceful relations between the two countries.

ODE TO TWO BRAVE FISHERMEN

ODE TO TWO BRAVE FISHERMEN
Out in the Gulf where sail fish leap
Meath skies of azure blue
We sail out meath the Haul over Bridge
In boat with gallant crew.
We have two Mayors from Maryland,
Out to try their skill,
One we know as "Blandford"
The others name is "Bill"
They take their seats in the fishing chairs
Their lines all baited and taut,
With visions of big and little ones
And fishes that never were caughtl
The air is balmy, sea is smooth
The mayors fall asleep,
They dream of marine battles
With denizens of the deep.
When suddenly "Blan" gets strike
Gas fishermen sometimes do)
He lets out an awful yell
And wakes up all the crew!
He works so hard to reel him in
Then he loses him-what a sinl
The struggle puts "Bilp on his toes
And henceforth he refused to doze.
The fish, they do not know the mayor
This story is no hearsay)
When Bill hooks 'em, they stay hooked
He had them begging mercy!

Ernest Smith, of the Old Dock

BY JOSEPH S. HUFHAM
(Star Correspondent

DELCO, Sept. 8.-Ever SO often
we like to write just a few words
about friends and acquaintance
seen here and there in u travels:
For instance, Won Bennett and
Irksene Vereen, of the Makatoka
and Exum communities, have
found some rare products on their
farms. Mr.. Bennett found two full
ears of corn growing off a single
stem in his field; and Mr.. Vereen
found double leaves OF tobacco
growing on a single stem IN his
tobacco patch.
Kelly Register, who has a nice
farm at the entrance OF the only
road leading into Crusoe island,
has told us many interesting ex-
periences about wild animals with
which he has come in contact while
hunting in the Green Swamp rec
The most absorbing of these con-
Germs a time when he'had wounded
by a large, black bear. The bear
chased Mr.. Register Into a clump
of bushes and was opening his
mouth to take a nice juicy bite out
of Mr.. Registers leg when a dog
interferred by sinking some sharp
