ALASKA DAT PROGRAM
A Hl'GR SUCCESS
Moose Hall was filled to overflow
ing last evening when the Board of
Education had charge of a splendid
program commemorating the pur
chase of Alaska, In 1867 by Secre
tary Seward. The Moose Band render
ed several selections which were en
thusiastically received. Judge O. P.
Hubbard explained to the audience
just what had been accomplished
along educational lines at the last ses
sion of the Territorial legislature at
Juneau. He also stated that not un
til Alaska had been granted Statehood
could she expect to bring her school
system to the highest degree of ef
liciency. Following bis remarks the
school sang “Alaska” Miss Della Hub
bard leading. «
Mr. Warren Cuddy then made a
stirring appeal to the patriotism and
support of the people choosing as his
topic, "What the American Mission
in the World is and W’hat Part Each
One Must Take.”
Judge A. J. Dimond made a forci
ble and convincing talk, firmly hold
ing the attention of hiB audience to
tlje finish, when he proved that while
Democracy is a superior form of gov
ernment in theory yet it is often most
impracticable when put into practice.
He urged every one to strive for the
greatest democracy in word and deed.
The school then rendered "Alaska,
My Alaska."
Judge F. M. Brown had been se
cured to speak upon “What the Trans
fer of Alaska Means to the People,”
but owing to the amount of work
falling upon him during court he was
obliged to secure Attorney L. V. Ray
of Seward. Mr. Ray, with a few well
chosen remarks, made a most favor
able impression upon bis audience.
Mrs. R. L. Clifton accompanied by
George Reinke at the piano and Mrs.
Harry Nelson at the violin, rendered
the song "Cherry Blossom” in a
pleasing manner and when requested
for an encore sang “Don’t Bite the
Hand That’s Feeding You.” As Judge
John Lyons was unable to be pres
ent that concluded the program and
the audience was requested to join
in singing "America.” after which
the floor was cleared and dancing
enjoyed until after midnight. The or
chestra consisted of Geo. Reinke, pi
ano, Ralph Vogt, Guy Cameron, saxo
phones and Mrs. H. Nelson, violin.

number of suspects under surveil
