WILL REMOVE ROCK
FROM THE CANYON
E. p. Cashman and Matt McGlade
left yesterday for Keystone Canyon,
tot the Alaska Road Commission,
where they will attempt to blow up
the big boulder which lies in the mid
dle of Lowe river near the upper end
of the Canyon. This boulder lies in
a comparatively narrow part of the
channel and in high water throws a
large volume of the stream against
the road and is responsible for con
siderable of the damage done to the
work. It is believed that by removing
this obstruction the road will be com
paratively safe from further flooding.

HOUSE FAVORS .
DRAFT MEASURE
MAJORITY OF SPKAKKR8 FAVOR
i
Rebate on Conscription Bill In Sen
ate Probably lifutt Until Saturday—
House Will Probably Vote on the
Measure on Thursday.
i WASHINGTON. D. C., April 24.—
| The debate of the conscription meas
ure will probably last in the Senate
! until Saturday. In the House the
I measure will probably come to a vote
on Thursday. The debate in the
House is strongly in favor of the bill,
n majority of speakers strongly ad
jvocating its passage.
Communicated.
Valdez, Alaska, April 24. 1917.
| Mr. Editor: You made a slight mis
Itake in my poem in your Sunday issue.
!‘‘Help your country with your hit."
|the last two lines should read: “To
j help you and this epitaph deserve.
i‘He helped the country with his bit.’ ”
You see a poem is not like a well
meaning Dutchman. You can’t take
• it for granted. One letter misplaced
i will sometime turn a good poem into
la thing without rhyme or reason, and
j there is a reason, and a very serious
ione, for my poem, and it is facing us
j right now. I have heard people say.
!“Oh! let the President do the worry
ling.” or, “I’m not going to worry
about it until it comes." Imagine a
resident of any town saying. "Oh! let
the firemen to the worrying.” or "I’m
not going to worry until my house
burns.” if some one told him that the
town was on fire.
The people who lived in the shad
icw of Mount Vesuvius or Mont Pelee
!said the same thing, no doubt. “What
is the use of worrying until it comes.”
.instead of making themselves secure.
1 nt when it came they had no further
.“use to worry." We are all walking
'riglA now in the shadow of the most
dangerous and destructive volcano
|that was ever on this earth.—the vol
cano of hatred, from which every evil
thing erupts to destroy civilization
and humanity itself, and it is time
■that we begin to “take a tumble to
! ourselves.” This slang term is Just
i about as apt an expression as 1 can
I find to fit our case.
! Thoughtful and intelligent discus
ision and consideration of a very seri
|ous situation is not futile worrying
and reasonable precaution does not
I necessarily hinder enoyment of life
land liberty. I think we can all find
enjoyment in "doing our bit” to tiie
very best of our ability, and I'm go
ing to try to do it as well as write it.
1 1 wonder if the various clubs in
Valdez couldn’t get together and form
a "Do Your Hit” Club for every man,
woman and child to do any useful
thing they can, no matter how small,
to help the country?
MRS. JAS. GILMOUR. I

“1*1 ItITY" TOMliHT AT
THK K.MPItKSS THKATItK
It is said that to the pure in heart |
all things are pure. The idea of this
great photo play was to impress upon
i the people this great truth uttered
jages ago by Apostle Paul. The love
j story through this charming play is
an inspiring one. and has a great'ob
ject lesson—that without trust there |
: is no true love. In the story the j
! young woman poses in the nude for j
| the purpose of obtaining money to;
help her lover publish a book of
| poems. He. unaware of her great
sacrifice, expresses his horror of the
painters' models who give their fig
ures to the public gaze for the sake
of art. When he learns that his beau
tiful sweetheart has been posing In
the nude for a prominent artist, he
expresses his horror and says that no
good woman would thus exhibit her
jelf. Purity hides her tortured emo
tions with the argument that true
virtue can rise superior to artificial
standards and that no wrong can be
imputed to anyone who acts from a
righteous motive and pure heart.
Darcy casts her off and later learns
that is by her posing that the money
tame which made him famous. In
utter abasement he seeks her forgive
ness which is granted.
The allegorical lesson of this play
is splendid. It should be seen and
taken to heart by everyone. At the
iCm press tonight. Price 25c.
