NORTHERN LIGHTS
To promote efficiency in general
law enforcement and add to protec
tion afforded outlying settlements
in the First division, a 45-foot gas
cruiser has been purchased for use
by the U. S. marshal’s office. The
boat will make its headquarters at
Juneau and serve outlying communi
ties where there is at present no
deputy marshal stationed. The new
vessel was purchased recently at Se
attle by Marshal White. It has a 60
liorse power gas engine installed and
is said to be especially suited to lo
cal needs. The purchase of the ves
sel was made possible through the
co-operation of Judge T. M. Reed.
It will be shipped north on the S. S.
Cordova.
Messrs. Turnbull and Prichard,
proprietors of the fox farm on the
Richardson highway, about 50 miles
from Fairbanks, recently suffered
the loss of a pair of silver foxes,
valued at $600, which escaped from
the enclosure in which they were
confined. There is practically no
chance for recovery.
Lieut John R. Noyes, member of
the Corps of Engineers, U.'sV Armyj
arrived in Juneau last week from the
States to fill the vacancy, made by
the recent departure of Lieut. H. E.
Fisher from the office of the Alaska
Road Commission. Lieut. Noyes is a
graduate of West Point and was a
member of the class of '23.
Mrs. Fedra Clyde, who had been
suffering from an attack of tubercu
losis, died at Anchorage last week.
Her husband, George Clyde, lives on
the Little Susitna river, across Cook
inlet.
FUNERAL OF LIVE CORPSES
DETROIT, Nov. 27. (£>)—1When a
squad of Detroit police in an automo
bile of the outskirts of the city met
a funeral procession and stopped out
of respect, the driver of the hearse
jammer on the brakes and fled. Then
the “mourners” leaped from their cars
and skipped also. Hearse and automo
biles were found filled with cases of
beer. The police had not suspected
the party at first, it having been ano
ther case of “the wicked flee when no
man pursueth.”

ARTICLES O F INCORPORATION
OF THE ASSOCIATION HAS BEEN
FILED AND ACTIVE WORK AL
READY STARTED
PRESIDENT COOLIDGE MAY ACT
AS HONORARY PRESIDENT
To Build a Memorial to William Hen
ry Seward, Godfather of Alaska, On
Resurrection Bay
That the Seward Memorial Associa
tion is now a live, active corporation
was the gist of the report submitted
to the Seward Chamber of Commerce
at its meeting last Tuesday noon by
the committee in charge of the organ
ization of the corporation.
Some time ago the Seward Chamber
of Commerce appointed a committee
consisting of Messrs. L. V. Ray, chair
man, Wm. H. Whittlesey, Curtis R.
Morford, Aaron E. Rucker and Harry
F. Morton, with instructions to take
all necessary steps looking toward the
formation of the Seward Memorial
Association. A drive for subscriptions
to defray the preliminary expenses of
the organization was carried on by a
committee consisting of Messrs. Mc
Mullen, President of the Chamber
and J. H. Flickinger. The people of
Seward responded generously and the
committee on organization wras in
structed to proceed with the incorpor
atin. The Articles of incorporation
were prepared by the committee and
forwarded to the Secretary of Alaska
and to the Clerk of the Court on last
Saturday’s mail boat. Upon the receipt
Df advice from the Secretary that the
Articles have been filed, a meeting of
those who have subscribed to the fund
will be called for the purpose of per
fecting a permanent organization,
idopting By-Laws, etc.
It is hoped that President Coolidge !
nay be persuaded to act as the Honor- 1
iry President of the Association and j
:hat the governors of each state and ;
:erritory of the United States will con- i
lent to act as honorary vice-presi
lents. When the permanent organiza
ion is perfected, a nation wide drive
or membership will be inaugurated.
Under the Articles of Incorporation,
nembership in the Association is
[ivided into the following classes,
vith fees payable by each class as
ollows: Associate $1.00; Contribut
ng $5.00; Fellow $25.00; Life $100.00;
donorary, by election only, no fees.
The Association has a wide scope
>f activity, but its principal aim and
ibject is the erection, at Seward,
Alaska, or at some other place on the
hores of Resurrection Bay, near
Seward, of a memorial to William
denry Seward, Secretary of State in
Lincoln’s cabinet at the time of the
mrchase of Alaska from Russia in
.867, and the person primarily respon
sible for the purchase. The memorial,
iccording to the Articles is to be in
;uch form as may be decided upon by
he Board of Directors of the Associa
ion.
Interest in the Association is being
ivinced throughout the Territory and
tssurancees of the support have been
’eceived by the sponsors of the Asso
:iation from all sections.
Tom Young, 70 years of age, passed
iway at Cordova two weeks ago after

svas known in Cordova as a carpen
:er and fisherman. The deceased has
10 known relatives as for as can be
eaned.
EARLY-DAY SALMON
SHIPMENT FAILURE
Salmon exports from the West
Coast, including Alaswa, now run in
to the millions annually. This ren
ders all the more interesting the his
toric fact that the first shipment of
the fish from Seattle was a complete
failure.

INDIVIDUAL AIR FLIVVER
NEW YORK, Nov. 27. (/P)—-If an As
sociated Press dispatch from Vienna
is to be credited, Darius Green’3
dream has at last come true. M.
Lutsch, inventor of an individual fly
ing machine with wings and an 80
E>ound motor carried between the shoul
ders, made successful short flights in
which he was able to guide himself
in any desired direction. He predicts
that his contrivance, when perfected,
may be retailed for about $300.
