By the Asseeioted Pres,

! LONDON. May 31.-The officia
mourning period for King George
vi comes to a close this midnight
and Britons prepared for as gay 9
summer as their austerity pro-
gra mwill allow.
| Women brought their brightes,
frocks out Of the closet and mer
put away the dark neckties they
have worn since their monarch
died, February 6.
The crepe bands which thous-
ands of citizens were wearing on
their sleeves will disappear and
the tempo of all activities in the
British Commonwealth will quick
en-.
The greatest change, undoubt-
edly. will be in the life of 26-year-
old Queen Elizabeth II. Social
life. ceremonial and official duty
will expand greatly. and if she
does half of what Is expected of
her She Will be about the busiest
woman in her realm.
Most humber Britons have re-
covered from the mourning mood,
but persons in the higher social
brackets have adjusted their pace
to that OF the court. Many parties
have been delayed.
In the diplomatic corps the new
era of light-heartedness will be
touched of by the Embassy of
Nepal. one of the mansions in
Kensington Palace Gardens Mil

New Years and to stir up the spir- it's of the lazy white men. l don't know what New Years has done for us that we should remember his birthday, but the white men don't celebrate, so we'll do it our selves, b'gosh. Another winter is on the wane. and so are we. We are the wall-eyed waners from Wanetown. We have monopolized the wane business of the whole world. Spring is almost here and We have not yet gone upon the warpath. The pale face came among us with the corn plaster and the timber land act, and we bow be- fore him.
 .' What does New Years signify to us" It is hollow mockery. Where the church bell of the white man now swings in the breeze, a few years ago the scalp of our foes was dangling in the air. Now my people are seldom. Some are dead and others drunk. Once we chased tue 1CEI htl DSH the BAduE5 anu feasted on martin mulligan. Now we eat the condemned corned beef of the oppressor and weep over the graves of our fallen braves. A few more moons and I, too. shall cross over to the Happy Reservation.
 Once I could whoop a couple of times real loud. and cover the beach with warlike athletes. Now I can holler till my eyes bulge out and only my sickly howl come: back to me from the hiI1sides. am as lonely as the populist party T haven't got warriors enough tC carry one precinct.

1909 New Year Great Event In Wrangell;
 There Were Fireworks, Too, In '52

Wrange1 welcomed the new year Of 1852 with a bang-several Of them, according to reports. The jail house door was even swinging, but it didn't close behind a cul- prit, at any rate, not the one they tried to get. Dances went to early hours of the morning at the ASB Hall (see classified ads), the Red men and the Elks
 Several unofficial fireworks com mittees were active with fireworks and aerial bombs, heard most of night. Don (they- y-tried-to-arrest me-but-i-didn't- t-do-iO House says they weren't his fireworks.
 Back 43 years, on the eve of January l. 1909, they celebrated, too, and it must have been a gala event. For the benefit of the old sters who didn't get out to see and hear the bangs this year, and for the younger people who heard them but weren't around in 1909, here's how The Sentinel reported the arrival of the new year of 1909 in its issue of January of that year:
 Chief George Shakes of the Thlinget tribe of Indians last week came to the conclusion that the town was becoming too dull. and | in order to enliven things a little ] he organized a company of about thirty of his braves and proceeded to give an old-fashioned native dance for the entertainment of the Boston men and women of Wran- gell The dance was given at the Red Mems Hall Saturday evening ! a spectacular street parade taking place before the performance Upon
 returning to the hall, the chiet
 made a short speech. setting forth his 'tumtum' to the white people !, The speech follows:
 Warriors We are met here to. night to celebrate the white mans

ed Aleck and He-man-who-rides the-Stikine- wind bareback? They are extremely gone. They are ex- tensively whence. Ole Black Hawk, i'll whose veins flows the blood of many chiefs, is swamping for the Belle of the West saloon, for the whisky. He once rode his war pony into the fray and buried his toma- hawk in the phrenology of his foe. Now he straddles the sawbuck and glibly yanks the woodsaw athwart the bosom of the hemlock chunk.
 My people once owned this broad land: but the Pilgrim Fa- thers and the Knickerbockers came and planted the baked bean and the dried apple, and my people quickly pamoosed. Once we were a nation. Now we are the tin can tied to the tail of the American eagle. Haraus nit der Deutseh.'
 At this juncture in the speech Bruno Greif, Dr. Schroder and Ed Ludecke made a break for the door. After the excitement had some what subsided, the chief continued:
 Warriors, my words are few. Tears are idle and unavailing. If I had scalding tears enough to fill a millpond. I wouldn't shed a single one The warrior suffers but never squeals. He wraps his royal horse blanket around his Gothic bones and says nothing. Now We are go- ing to dance till the cows como home So stand from under and give us room according to our strength
 And they did dance. The house was well filled, standing room being at a premium. Old timers say that 1t was the best dance that has been held here in number of years

THROUGH THE SENTINEL PERISCOPE
No Similarity, Of Course
s.-.....-...-...............:...-;,-;....'...,.-.

Back in Congress in February Of 1909 they were fighting over an appropriation for game enforcement in Alaska whether to make it S5.000 OF S10.000. Milford B. Hog gat was Governor of Alaska at the time and Thomas Gale. the Dele gate Hoggat favored the S10.O00 while Gale opposed on grounds 1t would be under control of the Governor. Gale was given unaui- nous consent to speak for 10 min utes on the subject from the floor of the House of Representatives.
 4 Washington dispatch Of Feb ruary 26. 1909. printed in tae Nome Daily Gold Digger. quoted the Delegate as follows.
 'If the Governor Of Alaska stay cd in the Territory and attended to the executive duties of his office instead of coming down here and being a lobbyist and fighting and opposing every measure that the Alaska delegate proposes. whom the people Of Alaska elected to come At1 I'D A- AANtE anu li5=e-EA At- AAlNA-- -t would be thought a great deal more of and would not be held in such disrepute in the Territory as he is (Applause) He has come down here and simply settled as a sort Of third grade lobbyist. Daughter and applauseJ.
 Now the reason why I oppose this increase in the appropriation is because of the fact that instead of placing s5,000 in the hands of the man who has always misrepre- sented and who has maligned the people of Alaska territory. you are placing $10.00O in his hands, and am opposed to it."
 There is. of course. no similarity between the present situation and the condition which existed in 1909.
