PRINCIPAL OF ANS
HYDABURG SCHOOL
CITED FOR SERVICE

The Alaska Native Service an
nounces that a citation for merit
oricus service was recently receiv-
ed from the Department of the In
terror by Mr.. Edgar F. Russell,
principal OF the Hydaburg school
This citation was given as recog-
milton of Mr.. Russell's superior ac-
complishment in the development
of Native leadership and for. his
successful promotion of economic,
health and educational programs
for that village.
A detailed account of these pro-
grams, submitted last year by Mr..
Russell and his co-workers, was
judged as outstanding in its or
ganization, comprehensiveness, clar-
ity of presentation of local situa-
tons and problems, and also for
its proposed plans for future con-
structive measures.
Mr.. Russell entered the Alaska
Native Service in 1897 at Igloo
and also worked at Shismaref and
Hoonah prior to his transfer in
1914 to Hydaburg.

SIugged Them,
Sunday Games
BY JIM BACON

Pacific Coast league fans saw
some fine Sunday pitching-and
also some fine Sunday slugging-
tut no change in the league lead.
It's still Hollywood and San Diego
cne-two, a half-game apart.
Hollywood had to come from be-
hind twice to ceat Seattle 4 to 3
and 10 to while the smuggling
Padres did just that to beat San
Francisco 6 to 3 and 9 to 4. The
losses halted the Seals winning
streak at six games.
Portland and Oakland exchanged
shutouts in their two games. Earl
Jones gave but four hits as the
Oaks took the opener 3 to 0. In the
nightcap AID Liska flung two
hitter to give the Beavers to
0 win.
Sacramento and Los Angeles also
split. Joe Grace drove in the win
ming run in the last of the tenth
to give the SolonS the second game
) to S. The Angels margin in the
irst one was 81.
Some 5000 ians saw Hollywood
score twice after two were gone in
the ninth to win their opener.
John O'Neil singled and scored on
Andy Skurski's blooper. IrV Noren
then singled in Skurski aftsr Gene
5andley was walked.
The second game went two extra
innings before the Stars finally
managed to notch the win. George
Gencvez, whose double helped tie
up the game at the end OF the
planning seven inning finale,
.ripled in the ninth to break the
deadlock.

the Cottage City for Juneau. The
entire fare was only $28.
Mrs. Nelson arrived here as Hill
ma Olson when 80 years old. She
had planned to go to girl friend
at Nome, but Alaska looked so
dismal then she got cold feet and
decided to return to San Fran

since then.
The Nelson's had two sons. Ar
thur and Vernon. Mr. Nelson died
in 1882. Vernon, age 80, died from
eating mussels at Hilda Creek in
1884, and Arthur, 43, passed away
in Seattle in 1915 at Marine Hos
pital.
AS Hilma Olson, she arrived in
the United States from Sweden,
her birthplace, in 1891, with two
girl companions, and visited rela-
tives in Escanaba. Michigan. She
remained there two and one-half
years then went to visit an uncle
in San Francisco and remained
there six years before coming to
Juneau.
Ma" Nelson will be 80 years OF
age on JULY 30,
