- -~ ‘8 8 KIDS TO BE PAID TO HAVE FUN ON FOURTH OF JULY Prizes to Be Given Boys and Girls that Take | | Part in Parade Here's fun for the kids on the Fourth of July. Of course, the observance of Independence Day | may be principally intended to com- memorate the achievements and to rekindle the patriotism of grown folks, But still the celebration, in the opinion of J. L. Gray, chief | of the fire department, who is tak- | ing ‘& leading part in arranging for the national holiday, cannot be a success unless it makes provision for children as participants. ‘ ‘Won't Be Bored | And the chief knows children. He realizes that an oration, even if delivered by Demosthenes, would bore them stiff. The head of the | Fire Department will have charge of the parade, so he is going to, enlist the youngsters in his part of the show. They can dress in character cus- toms—the funnier the merrier—and can bring their pets and playthings, the more the better. From the fund that the Chamber of Com- merce has contributed to defray the expenses of the celebration, he has'llams, Georgs Karabelicknoff, B. property owners must pay two- pleting plans, chiseled several dollars that he plans to award as prizes to boys and girls in the line of march.

It will be modeled alt-! er the Sea Otter, with certain re-| finement of lines of the hull and in engine room. T Ty The contract for construction was awarded to the Berg 8hip Building Company, Seattle, ang for the engine to H. J. McLaughlin. Owing to the limited time for com- calling for bids and awarding contract, it was impos- sible, Mr. Terhune said, to adyer- tise the job widely. Only seven days was available from the time funds were allotted to advertise toré bids and award the contract: which necessarily limited the scope of bidding. Mr. Terhune left here on June 2. attle. Work has already been started on the new boat. _TO FLY TO KAKE In the seaplane Petersburg, of the Alaska - Washington Alrways, Juneau to Kake tomorrow. From Cordova last evening, A. B.
