THE DAILY PROGRESSIVE-MINER
VOLUME ONE. KETCHIKAN, ALASKA, MONDAY, JUNE 19, 1916. NUMBER 227
LOOKS LIKE WE
MUST FIGHT
ORDER TO MOBILIZE ENTIRE NATIONAL 6UARD
WAS GIVEN BY THE PRESIDENT.
WASHINGTON. June 19.—President Wilson issued an order
last evenin ' virtually commanding the entire national guard of
eve:., state to mobilize and be ready for actual service on the
Mexican border. This is taken to mean that Carranza is expected
to caxTy out his threat to force the American troops out of the
country.
nal guard is to be mustered into the federal ser
vice immediately and some will be sent to the front today, at
least from the states bordering on the line.
Secretary of the navy Mr. Daniels, has ordered sixteen war
v essels from both coasts to proceed at once in the Mexican waters
and await orders.
MEXICO CITY. June 19.—Last evening the city was all ex
citement and demonstration against Americans was frequent.
General Carranza w as called to address a mass meeting to which
he apparently willingly responded In his address. Carranza
urged the people to be cool and refrain from committing any acts
that would provoke war. and that he hoped to adjust the difficulty
between the United States and Mexico before many days had
passed. He was loudly cheered, but at the mention of the United
States, jeers and hisses were heard throughout the crowd.
CHIHUAHUA. June 19.—The city is feverish at the look of
conditions and grave fear is entertained for the safety of the few
Americans remaining within its boundary.
It was learned this morning that the military authorities
were endeavoring to increase its forces. To that end every effort
is being made and calls have been issued for volunteers. The out
look : r *pen hostility between the two countries has never been
so apparent, is the belief of all the residents.
A CHANGE IN
THE PROGRAM
MARSHAL OF THE DAY AN
NOUNCES THE ELIMINATION
OF ALL FLOATS.
Dr. at-:ry. was chosen Marshal
of the Pay for the celebration of the
Fc irth, announces that in lieu of the
usual boats that mark the principal
features of ail Fourth of July cele
brations. the varies- - organizations
have been asked to participate in what
will be called a ‘Preparedness Parade'
Thi s i: theight will prevent the
blocking of streets.
The mrnv cr anizations as well as
at: tie ..ouses can be rep
rv-ented much easier in this manner
than by the construction of boats and
at practically no expense: and in the
event of unpropitious weather, noth
ing much is lost thereby.
Many business houses have signi
fied their intention of joining in the
new move and will ma’-ct with their
respective ftrees as a signal of pre
paredness to meet emergencies.

OUTLOOK.
EL PASO. June 19.—From every
side or angle, war preparations are
being carried on energetically on the
Mexican border. It's a continual rush
of orders. The preparations are not
carried on secretly on either side. At

that the garrison had been greatly re

this move for montns. Everybody
seems to work with harmony across

A SMALL BLAZE
DISTURBES SLEEPERS
+ - +
WAS CHECKED IN TIME AND NO
GREAT DAMAGE
RESULTED.
During the early part ot the night,
the fire department was called out to
extinguish a fire that had started
from the roof of one of Mr. Casper
son's houses. It virtually caused no
damage outside of burning a small
hole in the roof.
The calling of the fire department
is generally well answered by the
residents of Ketchikan. They seem to
be extraordinary anxious to contri
bute help, but many times, the call is
so indistinct, that is to say, the whis
tle is used irregularly and to many
willing helpers they are at a loss to
know where to go to help. Thus far,
this has not proven much annoyance,
but there is no telling, as one man said
today, that the time may come when
to know will be of material value. For
that reason and at the suggestion of
one of the worthy business men of the
city, the calls describing the proxi
mity of the fire are as follows:
3 whisles, Front and Market Sts.
4 wnsitles, Front and Dock Sts.
5 whistles, Front and Grant Sts.
6 whistles, Redmen Hall.
