The assumed ‘“enemy” Wroadcasts were tramsmitfed from a nit installed and powered to crowd ut the Elmendorf radio staions. One speaker made all the trans- aissions. He entreated the defend- rs not to “resist foclishly,” and | escribed the aggressor form of gov- | rmment as a “Utopian Govern- 1ent.” | In one broadcast recorded by El- | aendorf intelligence, the commen- ator gloated over the conquest of | Jelifornia by the aggressor, and sromised that all who surrendered vould be sent to camps there. The terms “concentration camp” and “prisoner of war” were avoided. | The commentator referred to the samps as “comfort stations for the ppressed.” Air transportation was promised all those who surrendered.

John Harris was born here in 1884. In fact, it was only four years before that that his father, Rich- ard T. Harrls, with Joe Juneau, had' made the prospecting trip from | Sitka which resulted in the found ing of the town, when they discov- erec gold in ihe creek they named Gold creek. W. John Harris has been ili for) several months and accordin; o his son, Fred, who returned t.> first of the week after visiting his father at Mt. Edgecumbe,~ he is getting along fine now, but he wants tc come back to Juneau. This is where his family and friends are and, ac- cording to Dr. Robert H. Schuler Johnny might just as well be in Juneau as Sitka. His illness, arter- iosclerosis, cannot be improved by remaining at Edgecumbe and when there is room in the Government hospitai his ramily and friends want nim back in Juneau again. The Harris family, among 'tht few real pioneer famiiies still repre- isented in Juneau, is so wellknown |to oldtimers that they do not need to look into Johnnie Harris' scrap- book to find aut about them. Scrapbook History . But a iook in the scraphcok is a review of Juneau's history. First article in the scrapbook is a long story by-John's father, Rich- ard T. Harris, written for the spe- cial edition of the Daily Dispatch on February 1, i900. One of the orig- inal discoverers of the town of Juneau, Richard Harris tells of the history of the town, which was first called Harrisburg, theun. changed to Juneau. We have heard of the town . meeting called to change the name of the settlement. Another clipping, with the pictures of Dick Harris and Joe Juneau, tells about that| meeting: “The camp here for years was called Harrisburg but in 1884 ' at a public meeting called in a’ his saloon, it was decided to call it Juneau for the reason that there was a Harrisburg in Oregon and, much of the Alaska mail went there. Joe was so elated over this that he, called the whole town up to the bar and treated them for the whol¢ night. It cost him $700.” | Death of a Pioneer ) from newspapers printed at the time of Richard T. Harris’ death.

The Years Since In the years since then, John Harris, who was a graduate of Che- mawa in Oregon, divided his time between guiding and his sign shop | which he opened in Juneau in 1620, | mu.h} Previously, he had “done sketch work of specimens for the Smithsonian Institute,” znother @lpping tells, Of his large famiiy of children Mildred, John, Jr., and Bobbie are! at home, as well as his son, Fred, and his family; and young Harvey Frazier, son of Margaret Harri Frazier who died in 1946. The scrapbook tells of Margaret Harris’ death at the Cushman hos- pital and of the death of another child, Robert, who died in 1934. Young John Harris, oldest of the unmarried Harris children, has fought a valiant battle with tuber- culosis and is back in Juneau in- tent on finishing high school after two years at the Cushman hospital in Tacoma. He is known around town for his singing with a high school quastet and his guitar play- ing. He learned the guitar at Cush- man. Ha:ris Boys, Empire Newsies All of the Harris boys have been Empire c: esmen—young Bobbie “Casey” Harris is the cur* ent member of the family on the taff. The older boys remember the late John W. Troy when he was actively running the Empire as “another granddad” for Mr. Troy had known Dick Harris many years before.
