WEATHER BAD FOR
VOLUNTEER’S PARADE
The weather this morning is not
very propitious for the parade and
program arranged by the Eagle Vol
unteers, but it is hoped that will clear
up bernre time for the program this
afternoon. Rain is falling steadily at
11a. m., and it Is feared that it will
r.ot clear up in time for the ball game
this, afternoon. Our citizens arose
early and commenced to decorate
their residences and places of busi
ness and there are very few places in
the city which do not fly Old Glory
or display the National colors in some
manner. The dance tonight will be
largely attended as the Moose are not
ed for the excellence of their dances.
The Ladies of the Civic League have
j erected a tent and are serving hot cof
! fee and cake.

Can You Answer?
At a meeting of the Valdez Eagle
Volunteers last evening the question
was propounded by one of the mem
bers why it is that so few of the num
erous young men of the town have
{ joined the organization. No one was
able to give a satisfactory explana
tion. Can you?
Easy to Answer
The Government gives a bounty of
50c for killing Eagles now. and the
young fellows are taking a tumble
to themselves.
A ROUGHNECK
Reply to Absence
Editor Prospector:—In your edi
torials you have frequently asserted
that persons who send you communi
cations should sign their names to
them. Don't you think it would be
only fair to your subscriber that any
one wishing to express a public opin
ion on a question of public interest,
should give his or her name instead
of hiding behind a Non De Plume,
as your communicant, "Observer”
did last night.
It seems to me that any man who
has an agrument worth considering,
should not be ashamed to sign his
name to it.
Regarding the communication in
last night’s issue, signed by “Obser
ver,” he attempted by fallacious ar
guments to prove that some people
have a superior right to allow their
property to destroy the property of
others.
As I understand it, the efforts of
the Civic League are not to prevent
us from letting our stock get all the
grass it wants but to see that we pre
vent it from damaging other people's
property.
Respectfully
H. L. JAYNES.
