ARMY CAPTAIN RETURNS
TO POST FROM CITY

Twenty-Five year career man in
the u. S. Army, Captain Ed Win
tiers, who a year ago was master
sergeant with a reserve officers
commission for more critical per-
iods, wound up his furlough this
week. Tuesday Captain and Mrs.
Winters left this city after visit
ing with his parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
James Winters. They returned to
his station at Baltimore, Maryland.
He was nineteen and a lad in Mel
rose when first he joined the army
to get the salt of adventure. He
enlisted in Duluth and then came
years in California, Panama, the
Hawaiian Islands, seven years at
Langley Field in Virginia. The
last at Langley was just prior to
his transfer to Baltimore. He got
into motor transportation for the
army during the Mexican border
trouble Of 1914. He could drive a
car when he enlisted and the rarity
of that accomplishment at that
date is brought out in the fact he
was a lone enlisted man among
forty-two civilians driving truck
for the army in that area.

Tomorrow, we Alaskans celebrate the 74th an niversary of the actual transfer of ownership Of our Territory from the Russian Empire to the Unit ed States of America.
 This year, when Alaska has assumed new im- portance as front line defense area for the na- tion, 1t is particularly appropriate to recall the exact movements which led up to the official acqui- sition of Alaska by the United States. Perhaps no author has outlined the facts of that transfer more effectively than c L. Andrews, well-known to AL askans a former Collector of Customs, throughout the Territory. As Andrews tells the story
 Four dates stand out in the purchase of Alaska March 30 1867 was the day the treaty signed setting the price at $7200,000. May 28, 1867 was the day 1t was ratified by the United States June 2O 1867, was the day the treaty was exchanged and proclaimed by the United States. October Is, 1867 was the day of transfer at Stka to the U. s. Com missioner.
 The idea of the United States becoming the purchaser of what the Russians called their Colonies in America" was first discussed between 1854 and 1856, but at that time the Crmean War was in progress. It was first proposed on account of the colonies being so far removed from the home coun- try that it was hard to protect them against enemies.
 When that settled the matter was dropped until in 1857 when it again brought up, through report that Brigham Young con- sidering taking colony to settle there Russia looked on this as a doubtful Was the United States trying to get foothold, or was it only a private scheme of the Mormons to escape the oppo- stion they meeting in Utah?
 Added importance given to the interest on the movement by Washington Territory being inter- ested in the fisheries and sending a memorial to the President of the United States setting forth the advantages to be gained by purchase.
 OCT tl,. dad and signed by which the territory called Alaska to be ceded to the United States for the sum of $7200000 to be paid in gold coin. This treaty was ratified by the United States May 28, 1867.

The inhabitants of Sitka, at that time by the census of the Russians in 1862 numbered 988 n- cluding the sodiery
 At 3:3o pm General Rousseau, and Captain Pestehouroff, the commissioners for the transfer appeared. Capt Pestchouroff gave the signal to lower the Russian flag As it began to slide down the staff the salute of the warships in the harbor began. The American flag was bent to the halyards It raised cannon thundered from a ship in the salute from the Russians to flag, an- swered by shot from American ship, and alter nate guns saued the colors with the national salute
 Captain Pestchourof said to Commissioner Rous- seau By the authority of His Majesty the Emperor of all the Russias, I transfer to you, the agent of the United States, all the territory and dominion now possessed by His Majesty the continent of America, and in the adjacent islands according to treaty made between these two powers
 General Rousseau replied: T accept from you agent of His Majesty, the Emperor of all the Russias the territory and dominion which you have transferred to me- commissioner the part of the United States to receive the same"
