Juneau, Jun^l7.—Tea captains j
and 30 First Lieutenants in the En- j
gineers Reserve Corps will be com
missioned from Alaska within a {
abort time, according to information
received this morning by Gov. Thos. k
Riggs, Jr., from Major General W.
M. Black, Chief of Engineers for
the United States Army.
A call was recently Issued for 2,"
000 engineers to receive commis
sions 'ii the Engineers Reserve Corp
and Gov. Riggs at once wired to
find out how many would be ap
pointed from Alaska and how. The
wire th's morngin said that ten
men would, be appointed as Captains
from Alaska, between the ages of
36 and 42 years ,and 30 as First
Lieutenants between the ages of 32
and 36 years of age.
The telegram to Gov. Rlggs said
that application blanks and full in
structions had been mailed and that
instructions had also been mailed
j to Major W. H. Waugh to co-operat
J with Gov. Riggs in making the ex
aminations of the applicants I'or
commissions.
Several Juneau engineers are
! thinking of taking the examinations
in an endeavor! to get commissions,

Dupuy and Frank Metcalf. This is
an excellent opportunity for any
person who can pass the required ex
animations to receive a commission,
in the highest branch of the Unit
ed States Army. It is not known as
yet whether a commission necessaril
means active service or not. As
soon as the application blanks
j and instructions arrive a call will
be made for those who desire to
J take the examinations to make their
| applications to he office of Gov.
| Riggs or some other place which
| will be designated.
STARS IN BASEBALL
j They Are Really Essontial to the Sue
cess of a Club.
I It is absolutely necessary for each
aud every major league club to have
at least one unusually brllliaut per
torrner ou Its roster to be a good gate
attraction, and more often thau uot
these stars are pitchers.
Remember tbe Chicago White Sox
of 11)00? Ed Walsh was the star who
did most to place that team in baseball
history, though he received not a lit
tle assistance from l>oc White. Who
uiude the (Hants of a f.nv years ago
the mi.st talked of team in baseball':
Why, Christy Matliewsou. to ue sure.
He was a star of stais. aud in fair or
foul weather It was he whom the root
ers paid to yfp. Dank. Coombs and
Bender did ir.ore to make I he Athletics
famous than dirt all of the orbec. great
players on the ream put together,
though the SJlM.thiO lutleld. consisting
of Mclunis. Collins. Barry aud Baker,
was a tirst class attraction In every
sense of the wold. But few other i luba
in the. game* history evi r had any
thing approaching I ids evenly balanced
outfit i'l its best days.
Bill James in his time came pretty
close to making (lie Braves, and
Bill Konovau. Ed Itenlbach. Murdecai
Brown. Babe Adams. Joe Wood and
IJ rover Alexander all have played lead
ing roles us gate ulti'iit-tious.
What would the Senators have been
for years without Walter Johnson? Is
it the Tigers or Ty Cobb whom the
fans want to see at play? Hal Chase
featured the Yankees for years, for
many seasons Speaker has been the
leading figure with the teams with
which he played, and Joe Jackson,
Marquard and I.aJoie all had large it
dividual followings.
Today a new crop of stars has just
about "arrived" and are pulling tbe !
crowds.—Ed A. Goewey In Leslie's.

JUNEAU iiOY FTREDk.
FIRST SHOT AT HUNS
It was a Juneau born boy who
fired the first shot from the Amer
i an fronf into the German lines,
and it made a direct hit. The boy
is not yet 20 years of age, and he
is credited to San Francisco though
•his army record shows that Juneau
i3 his birih place. His name is Os
borne W. D. Varila. The old
timers in Juneau do not know the
boy, nor do they recollect the family
name as that of former residents
of the c'ty, but that is not strange,
ps Juneau was filled with people
20 years ago who were brought here
bv the great Klondike rush. Pio
neers who were here in 1898 and
'99 say the family probably were
here only a sbort time.
Corporal De Varila, of Juneau,
was recently sent home with the
50. men who had been "over the
top," and injured while in active
service, to aid to recruiting. De
Varlla's credit for firing the first
American gun was recognized by
President Wilson who congratulated
him on tne stage of a Washington
City theatre recently.
De Varlla's enlistment card
proves h a Juneau birth. A fac
simile of It was printed in
the United States Army Recruiter
recently, and it follows:'
Date, April 23, 1917; No. 20,
267.

! SSI WINTER
The Natives of the North are not
immune trom the rigors of the ter
rific cold as the following article,
taken from the Dawson News of
June 8th shows that a Native woman
I was frozen to death last winter.
Advices received today; from Dan
iel Fred at Ranmart House tell of
a tragedy there during th© wint«r.
The letter says:
"About two weeks ago Elias and I
got Dack from Herschel Island. I
was going: for the doctor at Fort Yu
kon to get him to go. to Herschel
Island to attend Mr. Stefansson.
Dora and Sallie and two girls, Annie
and Elias, went to get meat, when a
big storm came up after they left. I
went to try and. find them ia the
storm. Elias and Old John also
started out after mo but the storm
was so bad they had to turn back.
Eliag was very badly frozen about
tne face. I kept on for about two
hours, and thought I would have to
give up as my face was frozen all
over when I found them jost by
chance. They were lying about 100
yards from the trail. Dora was near
ly gone, and Sallies was kneeling
beside her, d raying, when I
found them. I got the two girla
safely to some timber, but Dora
Has dead in a few minutes after I
arrived. In a little while the two
children would have been gone, too,
as Annie's caribou clothes had
got down around her knees and her
arms were already beginning to
freeze trying to fix them, as they
were full of snow, and the storm was
terrible. I got them back to camp
that night, as the storm nad ceased
and Elias John immediately went
back and brought Dora's body in. I
stayed next day and helped bury
the remains.
