who on ce had b e n the best of friends, daring dangers together, sharing the rough comforts of life together. But, SC bitter did it be- come that in one of the first deeis- ions rendered by the District Court after it had been created in 1884, Judg~ Dawson spoke of the vindic- tive vituperation which they evinced against each other.
 Now, resting in the sleep of eter- nity, no doubt long since they have clasped hands in friendship and for given each wrong each committed against the other. But, we today are not here to recount their mis- takes, but to remember that here once camped two brave, courageous adventuresome spirits, whose daunt- lessness lead the way to an industry which for sixty years has given op- poftunity directly or indirectly to thousands of men and women to earn honest livelihoods and to build homes and ise children in the American way of life and to the cre- ation of a fine, modern community. Hail, Dick Harris Hail, Joe Ju- neau! two real he-men.

ris and Juneau had located only one claim on October 4, 1880, soon the records would show claim located of that date in the name of each of the new nine arrivals. What hap pened? Probably. the nine out-vot- ed and out-cursed Harris and Ju- neau and insisted on being let in on the ground floor of the new Golconda.
 Looking backward sixty years, it would seem Harris was a little ego tistical in naming both camp and mining district after himself. We know not what envies it stirred up in Juneau's breast, but on February 10, 1881, miners meeting was held Mike Gibbon was chairman A vote was taken on names for the town, resulting one for Harris, fifteen for Juneau and. eighteen for Rockwell, after the us. Navy Lieutenant, who with the good warship Jamestown had rushed to the new mining camp 10 maintain law and order Some suspect at least a few of the Navy officers and crew also wished to To- cate a rich mining claim for them selves.
 Rockwell Discarded
 The name Rockwell did not suit every one, certainly neither Juneau nor Harris. Then, too, the miners didn't get along with the Navy. Some people called it Rockwell; some still continued to call it Harrisburg Harris was particularly pleased when cn April 8, 1881, the Post Office Department created the postoffice of Harrisburg, Alaska. But, his pleas ure was shortlived
 On December 12, 1881, at min- CTS meeting convened to hear a committees report as to what action had been taken to remove Black smith Charlie Wells from the water front, Juneau's friends suddenly moved for a permanent naming of the town. The vote was decisive: Rockwell four; Harrisburg twenty one; Juneau forty-seven. And SC today the capital of Alaska is Ju- neau!
 Partners Quarreled
 Time is too short to narrate the story of the bitter antagonisms that sprung up between these two men.

August IT, 1880, what a picture of primeval beauty must have met their eyes From waters edge to mountain slope were beautiful forest trees croWding each other rank on rank The remnants of the LeWellyn Glac- fer still tclung on the hills. The chan nel was filled with huge, gleaming icebergs. Goats and sheep and bea1 abounded in the hills. The ponds and creeks were alive with ducks. and geese, and brant, and other wild fowl. Eagles and ravens and gulls swooped and scared through the heavens.
 Nature ir Command
 And not a sound of man. Nature was in command as she had been since the beginning.
 Here Joe Juneau and Dick Harris spent their first night. Here the founders of Alaska's future capital camped! They made no complaint because they couldn't be accommo- dated with room and bath. Pos sibly we have lost something in the softness which has come over us when we compare cur needs with what only three decades ago men could endure and not demand re- lief or prevent honest men an op- portunity to earn their livelihood.
 During the ensuing days how little did Harris and Juneau look into the future. On that August day much as they must have drunk of the natural scenic beauty, strong as must have been their greed for gold, they did not foresee within sixty years modern city with schools, church es, fine homes, paved streets, air planes, automobiles, radios. oil burn- CTS, and all the conveniences of civ ilization's swift life.

 The Rush
 Swiftly the news spread to Sitka of the new diggings. Perhaps some prospectors had heard of Harris and Juneau's tip and were already on the way In almost no time a horde of black-bearded, vigorous, swearing whiskey-drinking gold-seekers were swarming up Gold Greek.
