And The Lid Is Now On
The “lid is on” and today there
are no gambling games or dance
halls in operation in Valdez. In
view of the agitation against the
continuance of gambling, etc., the
Council determined to close every
thing up tight ami at the meeting
Monday night issued orders to the
marshal to have every game and
dance hall stop operations at 11 :30
p. m. There was no discussion
over the matter except regarding
details, ard as soon as the meeting
adjourned the marshal made his
rounds and promptly at 11:30 the
closing went into effect Hereafter
•his will be a “closed town” in full
sense of the law.
About two months ago a petition
was circulated here addressed to
Judge Wiekersham in regard to
the salot'll) business, of which the
wording was substantially as fol
lows:
Sir:
We tlu* undersigned citizens
of Valdez desire to make a protest

for saloon to the following named
places: llorseslioc, Xizina, Mon
tana, Gold Dust Exchange, North
ern,'‘Senate :eud St. £ lias, ail of
which are located in the town of
Valdez, Alaska, unless they shall
cease to allow gambling and pros
titute women in the saloons and
other pans of the some building.
Then followed their specific
objections to each of the saloons

signed by toe following people:

The petition was forwarded to
Judge Wickcrshani and last l ues
day evening tint signers received!
answers from him by wire telling
them to be-courageous and swear
out warrants against all offenders,
collect their evidence and prosecute
vigorously. The -reformers im
mediately got busy and for the
first time tire matter was presented
to the councilmen of town, who
after giving the matter considera
ble thought, decided to close evi Ti
thing up tight, which they did as
stated above.
There is a widespread feeling of
dissatisfaction among the business
men and tax payers of town re
garding the action taken, and an
agitation may he started at any
time to make another change, hut
at present the town is closed tightly
enough to satisfy the-most particu
lar.
Porter-Smitli.
('. I). Porter, it resident of Cor
dova and Mrs. Etta Smith of
Seattle who has been in Vald**?.
since June, were married at the
Larson residence Monday night by
hev. Burnett A small party of
friends attended the ceremony and
a fine luncheon was served during
the evening. Arthur Crrush and
Miss Kotseh stood up with the
couple. Mr. Porter and his bride
will probably make their residence
at Cordova.
Fire On Reservation.
The first fire of any consequence
in the reservation district otcured
last night when the residence
owned by George Rorcr, a short
distance beyond the brewery war
completely gutted. The alarm w:l
not sent in until the whole build
ing was in llaines and the lire de
partment reached the scene barely
in time to prevent the adjoining
houses from catching. Fortunately
water was obtained in the creek
near by and within a few ieeonds
after the engine was put to work
the flames were under control.
The house was occupied by Mrs.
B. B Lockhart, who lost practi
cally everything, the few things
that wa re saved being damaged 1 y
fire and water. The fire is suj>
posed to have started from the
stove while the occupants of the
house were away, and was not
seen until too late to save any
thing.
Kot A Reformer.
Captain Hartman requests us to
make the statement that he was
not present at the council meeting
as a representative of then formers,
as was stated in the Bulletin Tues
day. He was there simply as a
spectator and has taken no part n
the reform movement.

A Fine Specimen.
Attention is greatly attracted to
the magnificent specimen of chal
copvrite ore now on exhibition in
th" office of the Alaska Copper
Mining Exchange. This sample,
40x24x28 inches, weighing a half
ton or more, was taken from the
(.'upper Hu Ikon Claim of the
Boulder Buy Mine, belonging to
the Re)*nolds-Alaska Development
Co.
From the face of a drift of some
200 feet, leading from the main
tunnel at 100 feet and at a depth
oi 1400 feet from ihc surface, was
shot out this sample and a larger
one which has been sen* to the
Home office of the Company in
B von.
i’lu-assay value of this ore k
fluid to he 1! per ct nt copper which
a- die present price gives about
$40 00 per ton, other values not
