SPRING CLEANUP
Residents of Front and Other Streets
Set Good Example for Prop
erty Owners.
The property owners along Front
street from near the old cemetery to
Rudolph avenue and up that street
to McKinley and along the south side
of McKinley have set a good example
-to the other property owners or the
-town by clearing their sidewalks of
snow. A gap here and there testifies
to an absent or careless owner.
Spring is here and the snow is go
ing fast but that is no reason why
residents should wait for old Sol to
do the work without a little assist
ance on their part Valdez has al
ways taken pride in her streets kept
clean during the summer, which is
right and proper for one of the great
est home towns in Alaska. During
the summer there is no prettier or
cleaner town on the coast of Alaska
and this fact has received comment
from strangers passing through. They
have carried away an impression that
Valdez is a place where they would
like to reside.
The efforts of the Civic League in
■having the ordinance enforced pre
venting ashes and other debris being
dumped on the streets during the
winter to be revealed when spring
comes, has served to abate that nuis
ance and if tno sidewalks are clear
ed of snow it will add to the conven
ience of pedestrians and show that
Valdez takes pride in keeping the
town clean.
CORDOVA RAS TWO
TICKETS IN FIELD
Hot Municipal Fight Being Waged and
Considerable Money Will Change
Hands On April Sixth
Two tickets are in the field for the
municipal election in Cordova next
month and a hot fight is promised.
The Citizen’s ticket has the support
of the Daily Alaskan, of which Will
A. Steel is the editor, while the Peo
ple’s ticket is being supported by the
Cordova Times, Harry G. Steel editor.
The Times is making a fight on
the management of the city during the
past year and the Alaskan Is de
fending the council on the grounds
that the city was well and economi
cally managed, and that taxes have
been lower during the {mat year than
under former councils.
The candidates on the Citizen’s
ticket are: E V. Boyle, Ed. Currier,
W. H. Chase, Chas. Goodall, Price Net
tleton, E. E. Ray and Chas. Ross. On
the People’s ticket are: E. J. Davis,
Bartley Howard, Geo. C. Hazelet,
Thos. C. Price, Henry A. Slater, W.
L. Smith and V. A. Schmitz. Chas.
Rosswog was named for the ticket but
declined to run and Schmitz was sub
stituted.
The men on both tickets are cap
able business men and no matter
which is elected the interests of Cor
dova are sure to be properly looked
after during their term of office. Con
siderable money is reported as be
ing waged on the result of the elec
tion.

BERT DUNHAM IS
OPERATED UPON
__
Bert Dunham, the marine engineer,
who has been suffering with a dis
eased hip, and who expected to go to
the states on the last boat for treat
ment, was operated upon this morn
ing at the Valdez hospital.
A part of the bone was removed and

CAPITAL LOOKING
TOWARD ALASKA
Dr. Bruner Arrive* Here Direct From
New York and Will Stay Till
, Railroad Question Is Settled .
Dr. M. W. Bruner, physician, capi
talist and promoter, arrived on the
Mariposa direct from XMew York City
and will remain in Valdez until the
selection of the railroad route is made
public.
Dr. Bruner is well-known here, hav
ing first landed on the beach in the
spring of 1902, and practiced his pro
fession in Valdez for some time.
jWhen oil was struck at Kataila he
went over there to try his luck, and
soon became interested in the Bering
River coal fields.
He then went back to Pittsburg and
interested capital for the construction
of a railroad from Kataila to the coal,
and this enterprise would have been
carried to a successful termination,
but for the order withdrawing all coal
in Alaska from entry.
The doctor states that the eyes of
capital are looking towards Alaska as
a field for profitable investment, and
that there will be no trouble to finan
ce mining property of either gold or
copper, provided it has passed the
prospecting stage and is a known
quantity.
