CALLOW, GENERAL LAND OFFICE District Land Office THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE _JUNEAU, ALASKA 20 YEARS AGO £ curing 7 TH ; i JUNE 22, 1924 The three American Army fliers made a perfect landing at Rangoon, iarriving in a high wind. They were tired after battling with the elements all the way across the Gulf of Martaban. Before a crowd which filled the A. B. Hall to capacity, Sinclair Brown, local fighter, stayed with Champion Ford Butler the full eight rounds of their bout and was given a draw by the judges’ decision. From present indications, Strawberry Point homesteaders were to produce this year the biggest crops in the history of the settlement, according to A. F. Parker, who arrived in town. Juneau Motors Company had received a new Jewett sedan which was delivered to R. E. Robertson and a de luxe Paige touring car had also been delivered to Jackson Marsh. Juneau’s new band made its first public appearance this night, ziving concerts about the streets and also at the A. B, Hall as a “come on” for the Moose smoker. There were 21 players and it was expected that there would be 30 players by July Fourth. During the march to the A. B. Hall, a mule, which had been used in a serenade party earlier in the evening, broke loose and attracted by the music, attempted to take part in the parade. Derrel M. Valade, with the B. M. Behrends Company, and also a member of the Juneau Fire Department, returned to -Juneau on the Princess Alice with his bride and the couple was serenaded by the fire boys, who met the boat. Clayton Polley was to leave on the Princess Alice for Seattle to spend his school vacation. Weather report: High, 60; low, 50; clear. | . H b 3 \ Daily Lessons in English W. L.
