HONEYMAN’S GIFT TO SEWARD
OTAFF SERGT. RUSSELL HONEYMAN, Quartermas
ter Corps, director of the Seward Band, will be one of
the outgoing passengers on the S. S. Alaska next Sunday
afternoon. He has finished his two years of Alaskan
service and will report to Fort Lawton for further orders.
He will be accompanied by his wife and little daughter.
To officers and soldiers of the Signal Corps who daily
saw Sergeant Honeyman at his desk in the Quartermas
ter warehouse, he at first appeared to be a calm, method
ical, hard-working custodian of prosey records and gov
ernment property. Later it was found that he would try
anything at least once, and if he set his hand to a job he
would master it. or die in the attempt- They studied him
more closely and their respect for him grew.
When the city of Valdez wanted an orchestra, Honey
man said modestly that he could play the piano a little and
would try to get together a few of the boys. He brought
a good orchestra to Seward and with it as a core formed
the Seward Band. That band has never missed a prac
tice; neither has Sergeant Honeyman. He wrote all the
music for all the pieces at first and later learned to play
most of the instruments. The band has given him a full
measure of loyalty, two of the civilian members giving up
good jobs because they interfere with practice nights.
Now they are very sorry to see him go.
They tell a story that illustrates the painstaking man
ner of his instruction. You can believe it or not, but here
it is:
borne oi tne boys went m swimming one day in the lo
cal swimming hole, Honeyman along with them. Honey
man couldn’t swim very well, but he paddled lustily, and
in the middle of the deepest wrater got tangled up with
some floating vines and sunk. He did not come up for
five minutes. When everybody had given him up for lost,
Corporal Urie suddenly had a happy thought. He seized
his trombone and blew one short, horrible discord. In*
stantly Honeyman came sputtering to the surface with an
elm club in his mouth and struck out in the direction of
the malefactor*
Sergeant Honeyman not only will be missed by the
band but by all the soldiers of the local army station and
the people of the town who appreciate his efforts to do
something lastingly for their good. The band he organ
ized and trained with so much diligence and self-sacrifice
may not be up to Sousa’s at present, but 30 persons to date
have learned to play under his direction and play well.
By next winter it will be the best band in Alaska and that
will be due, again, to the spirit he has put in the musicians.
Sergeants Dumarce and Campbell, the new directors, will
carry on the work, he began, with soldierly efficiency and
where there are only 18 listed pieces now, there wall be at
least 30 by this time next year.
And the Seward band will be, it seems safe to assume,
a permanent local institution, and as such, a monument
to the man who had the genius and public spirit to put it
over.

DEER CONQUER FEAR
j TO OBTAIN ALFALFA IN
’ KAIBAB RESERVATION
WASHINGTON, Aug. 5. (/P)—Hun
ger is nature’s common denominator.
. It. tames the wildest deer and
brings the stately elk to feed on
man-made hay. In the Kaibab res
ervation 50,000 deer dart from man’s
approach in summer, for Montana
grass is green, and their appitites
are appeased. Yellowstone’s 10,000
elk stamp in regal fright when the
National Park is verdant. Rut win
ter comes, and with it forage is cur_
tailed. Starvation stalks the herds.
Deer overreach the Kaibab food sup
ply, nor can they move out, for the
Grand Canyon halts the mon one side
and the desert on the other. The
wild state wavers, and the deer turn
to human friends. All summer Uncle
Sam has moved alfalfa for his hung
ry wards. They come to it for food
and survive the winter.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 5. (£>)—Two
posthumous citations for gallantry in
action in the Spanish-American War
and the Philippine Insurrection to
William T. Schenck, a first lieuten
ant in the 25th Infantry, are announc
ed by the Department of War in
General Order No. 9.'
Lieutenant Schenck, whose cita
tions each carry the award of a Sil
ver Star, was cited posthumously for
gallantry against Spanish forces at
Santiago, Cuba, in 1898, and for gal_
lantry in action against insurgent
forces during the attack on Camansi,
Mount Arayat, Philippines, in Janu
ary. 1900.
At the same time the Department !
of War announced that three former
officers of the Army who served in
the Philippine Insurrection had been
cited for gallantry in action. These |
officers arer Albert H. Hollingsworth, j
formerly lieutenant colonel, infantry; !
George W. Gibbs, formerly first
lieutenant, light artillery, and John
N. Truden, formerly second lieuten
ant, infantry. .

PHILADELPHIA Aug. 5. (£>)—'The
originator of “Poor Richard” probably
never dreamed of a $10,000 000 me
morial to his memory. Yet such a me- 1
morial may be built. A movement has
been started by the Poor Richard ,
Club, an organization of advertising
men, to spend that sum for a struc
ture to honor the memory of Benja
min Franklin.
