COMMENTS ON YE YUBA
BOO RACE AND DANCE
(By R. O. McDowell)
Any person who failed to get a
• kick” out of the Holiday that wae
declared by the Yuba Mfg. Co. last
Saturday, In honor of the Cbeecha*
ko dotg race and dance, were either
confined to their respective Igloo's
or Just natural born cranks. Prom
the time that the first detachment of
men arrived in town from the Yuba
camp In the morning until the last
note of “Home Sweet Home” floated
out over the heads of the dancers
at the A. B. flail at 2 A. M. there
was jollification in the air.
“Believe MUH Brother she was
some day.**
The Oheeehako Dog Race was
scheduled to take place at 12:80 p.
m. sharp, and there was no delay,
the first team arrived on the line
at 11:27 and was off at exactlyll:80
sharp, followed at intervals of thrss
minutes apart by the other foams.
The officials of the Race are to he
compli'mented upon the excellent
manner in which the event was
handled, everything Went along like
clock work.
There was a prize for each man
that drove in the race and no one
was forgotten. Presentation of the
prizes was made in. the evening at
the dance in the A. B. Hall, by Mrs. ,
P. E. Morse, one of the “Lady Birds" :
of the Yuba Lodge.
After the last team had crossed j
the finishing scratch the large crowd |
dispersed until 9 p. m. At which I
time there was a still larger crowd
gathered to participate ,in Jhe dance
given by the "Yuba Birds” at the
A. B. Hall than that which witness
ed the races.
With these two versatile music-;
Ians. Harry Gabrleteon and Charles j
Lescher. at their respective instru
ments pounding out Jazz Music, the
dance was on.
And I mean tfi state that it was
real Jazz. The way that Galbrielson
boy can whip music out of that old
I iano box Is a show in it’s self alone.
And that little Lescher boy needs
no drum to beat In order to keep
time, Charles beat on everything
from the side of his drum to the
electric lights over head and did j
not mLss a beat.
One of the special events of the ;
evening was the Kgngarop Court,
presided over by his Honor Judge
MacJunkin of the Yuba Co.
Among many of the victims that j
were brought before His Honor for i
judgement was Supt. P. E. Morse of j
the Yuba Mfg. Co. Mr. Morse was
booked on a change of declaring a
holiday at the Yuba plant in honor
of the Cheechako dog race and
dance. After the charge was read
by the clerk of the court, Mr. Morse
plead guilty.
In suming up the evidence again?'
Mr. Morse. Judge MacJunkin said
in part: Mr. Morse you have plead
guilty to a charge of declaring this
day a holiday at the Yuba plan
this Court in going over the evi
dence presented against you finds
that you have done a very com
mendable act, and in vrienr of the
fact that you will undoubtedly com
mit this act again at the most op
portune time, the court orders you
discharged at once.
And at last but not least there
was the prize waltz, and I must say
that the participants in this event
did sure "shake a mean hoof," A
very popular decision was rendered ]
;» favor of Mr. John Kost and Mrs j
Guy Mish, and Mr. and Mrs. Norvln
Lewis for first and second prize.
Smile and the world smiles with j
you. Eat garlic and you smile |
alone.—"Thank You."

GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE TO .ALASKA LFiGLSLATlTIiK
(Special Juneau Correspondent.)
The following is a synopsis of the message delivered by Governor
Bone to the Alaska Legislature last Wednesday.
Alaska's potential ties manifest resources manifold ami there is
an awakening of general interest in Alaska.
Alaska is strengthened, with fta future tending to invite population
and many estimated enterprises. Alaska has a permanent citizenry and
a country of homes, progressive standard schools, recognized in the States.
Officially she has never been organized and a continued slmpbicily of legis
lation and administration, is desirably The Territory is provident and
generous, caring fo-r needy PioneeTS and an extension, of charities should
be approached with caution. The system of sending insane outside is
commendable only for economy, otherwise it is objectionabtfe and a better
sys’teftn must be devised, "when the means allow.
I recommend a cooperative plan whereby bo»th Federal and Ter
ritorial Mime Inspectors may act; conservation of Fisheries are important
Aiind Alaskans dOsfavoir reserves of^land or water and oppose the principle
iavolved, but the system inaugurated is the only immediate alternative,
and possesses, by virtue of centralized authorfty and responsibility, the
promise of desired results.
Primary amd election. law changes are apj>arently desirable or
necessary. Popular ignorance ts Alaska’s greatest handicap and I recom
mend a small publicity fund. Two epochal events are closing; the com
pletion of the radiroad and the opening of the College. Unprecedented
winter .travel bespeaks a new day and -a: brighter era. The railroad
means an early solution of other transportation problems. A colonization
plan to insure homesteading and create premanent settlement is mast
urgent. I recommend memorializing congress to see that land rights
are granted to Alaskan's and ex-soldiers. The President is definitely plan
ntfng to visit Alaska. The Territory. *to its credit, has made a, fine record
of enacting laws intended to promote growth and progress in another do
main and life ad property has been made more secure. By continued
prudence in legislation she wSH strengthen her claim to future govern
mental rights and thus hasten statehood. I pledge the fullest measure of
'co-operation.*'
In the House Grant of Wrangell, Introduced a memorial deploring;
the creation of fish reserves. In the Senate forty eight bills were intro
duced at the request of Rustgard.
Sen. Frank Aldrich of Juneau, introduced a new pension and des
titute bill, making the maximum pentelon twenty five dollars with no al
lowance td persons having ready money for .support and who cease to
Vebide in the Territory or Arho are absent over one year without permis
sion. The bill contains a destitute allowance with a maximum of thirty
dollars to qualified persons who are without means and nnable to earn a
living because of immaturity or mental or bodily infirmity.
