Will Support The
People’s Policies
BECAUSE
ALL statutes should be permanent and bene
ficial to the whole people.
LABOR is entitled to just and equitable en
actments in order that it may share in
the profits it creates.
WOMEN must be considered in the making of
new laws for the Territory in order that
their interests may be guarded in a fair
and equal manner.
HAVING resided in the Territory for the
greater part of my life I feel competent
to legislate for the development of our
vast northern country.
1AM confident the people of the Third Di
vision will never have cause to regret
casting their ballot for me at the polls
next November.
THE many changes that will require the
attention of lawmakers under the fast
growing resources of our vast Territory
must be met with good judgment and
precision.
EVERY voter is most respectfully solicited
to give the questions of this campaign
his undivided attention before casting his
ballot on Tuesday, November 3, 1914, and
co-operate with me in bringing about
beneficial legislation for the Third Divis
ion and the Territory in general, and
promise, if elected, to represent you and
to work for the best interests of all the
people. Your support Is solicited at the
election to be held Tuesday, November,
3, 1914.
Candidate for the Territorial Legislature
from the Third Division.

BRING ORE TO
THE STAMP MILL
Ore from the Little Giant group of
claims was brought to Valdez yester
day and will be run through the
Crawford Custom Stamp Mill tomor
row. The ore was taken from the
property on Mineral creek, hauled
down the mountain by Wilson, the
freighter, and brought to Valdez for
treatment. It is expected that the
ore will show big values, as free gold
can be seen all through the rock.
The Little Giant property is located
about eleven miles from Valdez and
bight miles from the mouth of Min
eral creek. It is near the Mountain
King group.
THE HIG HACE
AT HI TONIGHT
The big skating race of three miles
will be pulled off tonight. Roy Rohra
baugh, who swept Southeastern Alas
ka in every race but one, will race
Johnny Kacerosky and Ike Beal. The
race will be worth while and will
start at 9 o’clock. A preliminary will
be run for fifteen laps between Peter
Korth, the Valdez wonder, and Doc
Daykin, who can also go some. The
preliminary will be for fifteen laps
and for a puree of $20.
An admission of 50 cents will be
charged. This admission will permit
of skating from 8 to -9 o’clock, when
the races start, and also allow for
skating following the races and until
11 o’clock, when the rink closes. The
management have provided for many
extra seats, which will accommodate
all who come, and the Reinke six
piece orchestra will be on hand to
render plenty of new music.
BOSTON BRAVES?
PHILADELPHIA ?
Nobody knows what the score of
the first game between the Philadel
phia American team and the Stalling
Braves in the championship series
was. The game was over before noon,
Valdez time, and no news of the re
sult will be received until some time
tonight when, by wireless, or over the
Canadian line will come the score,
and after that Jack Bishop will be
able to sleep in peace.
We admit, however, that our expec
tations regarding receiving the score
may not be fulfilled, because the wire
less is uncertain and that Canadian
line is always down and out and has
a record for poor service equaled on
ly by the Can’t Run and Never Will
railroad leading from Cordova into
some place or other.

EAGLE DANCE
BE A HUMMER
Old-timers Will Revive Days of Open
Gambling and Dance Halls At
the Eagle Hall.
The Eagle dance tomorrow night
will bring to memory the scenes once
common In Valdez when In every sa
loon stood a gambling device, and
every booze parlor was a dance hall.
The gambling contrivances formerly
used will be opened again and paper
money will be Issued to those who
care to play. The money is worthless
excepting at the hall, and the lady
holding the largest amount of money
at the end of the ball will receive a
handsome prize. Dance hall condi
tions will be re-enacted and for every
dance the price of a drink at double
price must be paid by the gentlemen.
Conditions common ten years ago will
be re-enacted with all of the sport and
none of the vulgarity of those days.
The committee In charge of the
dance will make it as pleasant an af
fair as that of a year ago.

" NEW ZEALAND EELS. ~
Big Enough and Daring Enough to Kill
a Man or a Salmon.
Eels can cause tbe death of a salmon
of considerable weight by tbe use of
strategy. One will obtain the grip be
tween the dorsal On and tbe tall and
then hold on like a bulldog, while the
unfortunate victim In vain throws it
self backward and forward, endeavor
ing to shake off its captor, until at
length its strength Is exhausted and
the eel proceeds to make a meal at leis
ure.
Worse crimes than these are laid to
their charge In New Zealand. ▲ great
number of bathing fatalities had taken
place at a certain spot, where the cur
rent ran with such strength that a
powerful swimmer could only Just
stem It It was a favorite pastime to
have a tussle with the stream, but sev
eral times a bather disappeared before
help could reach him, and when bis
body was found It bad been eaten by
eels.
The cause of the fatalities remained
unknown for a long time, but at last It
was discovered that while tbe swim
mer was almost stationary in tbe rapid
stream a huge eel would seize him by
tbe foot or leg and drag him beneath
tbe surface. Eels attain an Immense
size In those waters, twenty to thirty
pounds being no uncommon weight—

HOLES IN POTS AND PANS.
Quick and Easy Method of Repairing
Them at Home.
Pots and pans, whether of iron or tin
(which Is only Iron tinned overt, get
boles In their bottoms all too soon to
please tbe economical housekeeper.
Then It becomes necessary to call In
the tinsmith, who puts a lump of solder
in the bole. This soon melts, and the
bole Is there again.
But nothing Is easier than to repair
such boles at home and without the
aid of a tinsmith. First of all make
the bole round by Inserting tbe point
of a knife and twisting it back and
forth. Place tbe pot or pan upon any
firm, flat piece of metal, sucb as an
anvil, a bar of Iron or an Inverted flat
iron, so that the hole Is Immediately
over and touching the latter. In the
middle of the bole place a shot of about
tbe size of tbe bole. Any piece of lead
will serve If the shot Is not bandy.
Now a few sharp blows with a ham
mer will flatten the shot and spread It
out, filling tbe bole tightly and over
lapping enough to hold It In place. A
few strokes with a file and a rub with
sandpaper complete the operation. Tbe
repair Is permanent
It Is said that a bole as large as a
quarter of an inch In diameter can be
mended in this way.—St Louis Post
Dispatch.
"Read the Eternities."
The only large values are those In
which our ancestors participated. The
oldest of wonders Is the greatest—Ufe.
An Ironclad, as such, 1b a commonplace
beside a ship, and society merely as so
ciety Is a more stupendous fact than
Rome or England. The Iliad Is less re
markable than speech, and the aero
plane Is only a mote In the sky. Land
scape, the family, the nation, religion—
their origins are lost In the silence of
a gray antiquity. The now—the pres
ent—Is Indeed sacred; but Its sacred
ness Is Inappreciable to those who are
circumscribed by Its limits; It la re
served for minds that escape Its
bounds. "Do not read the times!" said
Thoreau, In words that become the
more memorable the less they are re
membered; "read the eternities."—O.
W. Firkins In Atlantic Monthly.
Comparative Values.
A German peasant had Just lost bis
faithful cow. His wife became so
grieved over the loss that her heart
was broken and sbe, too, died. Scarce
ly was she burled when one of the
neighbors came and offered his daugh
ter, another bis sister, and a third hia
niece, for a wife, whereupon the farm
er remarked:
"Weil, I can easily see that It la bet
ter to lose a wife than a cow In this
town. As soon as my wife Is dead a
choice of half a dozen wives Is offered
me, but when my cow died they didn’t
offer me a single one.”—Youth's Com
panion.
The Lord’s Prayer and Druidlsm.
A curious proof of bow tenaciously
paganism held Its ground for some
generations after the majority of the
people had become Christians Is found
In a Gaelic version of the Lord’s Pray
er, which up to a very recent period
existed In parts of Cork and Kerry.
Insteud of “Lead us not Into tempta
tion," “Na Lelg slnn a ndraoldheacb”
was said, meaning “Allow us not Into
Druidlsm.”— London Times.
