FIRST ALASKA FLAG
OFFICE COVE
I
NOTHING DEFINITE KNOWN .AS
TO WHEN BENNY BENSON
GOES TO WASHINGTON
2 Alaska’s first official flag, the de
J sign of which.was drafted 'by Benny
■ Benson, 12 year old pupil of the ;
i Mission school near Seward and offi
J cially adapted by the Territorial
J Legislature last spring, has been re
* ceived at the office of Gov. George
1 A. Parks reports the Empire.
2 By direction of- the Legislature
J this flag-' will be sent to Washington, ,
• D. C., to be presented to President J
i Coolidge by young Benson.
| The flag is made up of deep blue
J silk, heavy -material, on which are
* eight stars, and fringed with yellow,
i tasseled silk. It is mounted on an l
{ enameled staff of light-colored wood.
*-Seven of the eight stars represent
1 the constellation; Ursa Major, con
2 taining the star which form the
2 “dipper” including the pointers which
* point toward the eight star in the
i! flag. Polaris the North Star. .
| i
1 Several o.f these larger flags were
2 ordered by Gov. Parks. In addition
J11,000 souvenir flags made out of
i j printed muslin were ordered.
1 j Plans for sending Benny Benson to
2 j Washington have been pending for
J sometime. As the idea of securing
■ designs for the flag originated with
i i the American Legion organization in
\ ! Alaska, the Legislature provided, if it
" should be feasible, that Benny should!
, be sent to Washington with an escort j
J of Legionnaires. It was expected
J | this escort would be picked .from
i I Alaska delegates attending the Paris!
r ' convention and Gov. Parks has en-!
J j deavored to car^y out this idea.
J ! Owing to the absence of President
i j Coolidge from Washington, and the
i | uncertainty as to the date of his re
j I turn, this may not be worked out, it
J ; was said. Reports from Washington
• indicated the President would not re
i j turn to the National capitol before1
J'the middle of September. Pending j _
J ; the arrival here of Gov. Parks, no -
• j final announcement could be made
’regarding the trip of Benny.
COMPLEXITIES HHEND
WEALTH OF INDIANS
I WEWOKA, Okla., Aug. 27. (;p)—
Money has been accompanied by
complexities for Daniel Joshua, Semi-I
nole Indian, who from his hill-top 1
home near here has watched this j
! country change from a primitive for- '
est to a field bristling with oil der- i
ricks.
Joshua is seeking a divorce from i
jFlorance De Roules, a white woman,!
| whom he charges kidnapped and
married him while he was under the
influence of liquor.
The Indian’s oil holdings, augment
jed the inheritance of land owned by
his deceased first wife, are estimated
to be worth a million. Despite his
wealth, Joshua refuses to purchase
!an automobile, although he rides in
one belonging to his daughter. His
favorite mode of transportation is
his horse drawn buckboard. All of
Joshua's 60 years have been spent
on the same farm.
