Wanted 100 Men to Walk to Ni- i
zina in Order That He Could
Have Cheap Labor.
Labor should feel proud if
Frank Kernan, the Cheney-Os
trander candidate for marshal,
succeeds in landing the marshal
ship of Ihik division. Kernan be
lieves in labor. He it was, who,
owning a claim on Chititu creek,
wrote the following letter lo A.
L. Levy & Go., at Valdez:
Ghititu, May III, ISI01.
A. I.. Levy & Go,,
Valdez, Alaska.
This camp is short of men.
We need about 100 and will pay
80 cents an hour for the right
kind of men.
Will quote some prices that the
store is selling goods at: Flour
is selling at 25 cents a pound,
sugar 10 cents, bacon 15, beans
35, butter 82 a can, cereals about
30, fruit 10 cents, tobacco 81.
If you see any good men send
them Ibis way, ana oblige,
FRANK KERNAN.
The letter was published by the
Prospector at the request of A.
I.. Levy, who, in good faith, post
ed the letter in his window and
also had a large sign printed and
posted at the wharf, where the in
coming passengers on the Santa
Ana might see it. Al. White, Sr.,
also posted a large bill board an
nouncing that Frank Kernan, an
operator in the Nizina country,
would pay 80 cents an hoour for
100 men. .

The poor laborers, the .same as
the* Valdez business men, thought
that it was all right and they
gathered there little dunage—a

swill interior streams; the Kot

summer in mortal terror and
wore a six-shooter day and night.
Then men, who walked into the
Nizina country like the famous
troops of (lie French kings,
marched back again, and Kernan,
who feared a labor shortage, had
cheap labor all summer. ,

Matters of Great Importance Will
be Discussed—Women De

lers of great importance will be
discussed by the eouncilmen. The
matter of lining the women of tin*
restricted district will he taken up
and from expressions of the
eouncilmen it is expected that the
present law will be repealed.
Under tin* present system a fine
is paid by all inhabitants of the
district, mostly because of the ex
tra police protection granted to
and made necessary by the wopi
on. It is expected that the val
uation of the property in that sec
tion will be raised to provide for
the cost of police protection, as
the owners charge exorbitant
rentals for shacks in the alley and
the property returns a high rate
of interest on tile investment.
Sewage Demanded.
J he women nl the town have
started an organization for civic
betterm nl and intend calling on
the councilmen and asking for a
sewer to at least drain the busi
ness section of tlie;' town, which
now constitutes a menace to the
health of the community. The
sewerage remains in the big
trough provided as no water flows
through to carry it away, and the
condition under the buildings on
the north side of McKinley street,
where no sewerage whatever is
provided, is said to be even worse.
The recent experience of Doug
las, Alaska, where the governor
ordered the city quarantined, has
caused much apprehension
among the women, more espec
ially as more than half the chil
Viren in town are sick from colds
and are therefore susceptible to
any contagious disease which
might start.
The women also plan many
other improvements in the city.
