MOUNT VERNON TROOPS
RECEIVE GOOD TIDINGS
MOUNT VERNON, Dec. C2.—The
local militia company has now passed
out of its provisional status anil has
teen recommended for acceptance by
Captain Harold D. Coburn, of the
United States army, into the Second
Washington regiment as Company F.
Captain Coburn spent two days this
week in Mount Vernon and made a
thorough inspection of the person
nel, equipment and armory and has
sent the result of his findings to the
adjutant general and to Washington.
Under the federalization of the mil
itia, all guardsmen are paid drill. En
listed men and non-commissioned of
ficers are paid one-fourth of the regu
lar army pay, which amounts to $1
for the time.
A well known lady in Valdez a few
days ago in looking over the pretty
liand-painted china at the Valdez
Drug Store remarked: “Wish you
would have a sale on these goods. I
need some but cannot afford to buy
at those prices.” We try to please
our customers so for Saturday only
Hand Painted China and Leather
Goods will be sold at half price. If
you want bargains we have them.

PRECINCTS QUESTIONED
NOME, Dec. 22.—According to a
statement made by clerk of the court
Adams, Utica precinct In the Candle
district, made election returns wlth
rut certificates of the election board
being attached thereto, for some rea
son or other notexplained, although
the returns forwarded by the elec
tion officers of those precincts to the
governor’s office at Juneau may have
certificates attached to them, but no
certificates were found with the re
turns received by the clerk of the
court. The necessary blankf^and bal
lots failed to reach Utica and Deer
ing in time for the election. The
Utica balloting was, no doubt, legal,
although the returns may be defect
ive.
No election was held at Point 13ar
row, according to information receiv
ed here. The election returns from
Fortuna Ledge (Marshall), show that
Wickersham and Sulzer received 22
votes each and Lewis one, at that
polling place; and at Willow Creek,
a nearby voting precinct, the vote was
Wickersham 49; Sulzer 44, and Lewis
1.
“THE GOOSE GIRL”
AT EMPRESS TON 'GHT
The five-act romantic drama, "The
Goose Giri” will be shown at the Em
press tonight and tomorrow night;
also Pathe News and the comedy,
"When a Fellow’s Nose Is Out of
Joint." "The Goose Girl” is a beau
tiful story of a young princess who
is stolen by gypsies and forced to
tend geese for a living. She becomes
acquainted with the young King
Frederick of Jugendheit who is of
ficially betrothed to the Princess Eh
renstein but does not wish to marry
a woman he has never seen, or to put
diplomatic necessity above love. He
disguises himself as a vintner and
meeting the goose girl, rescues her
from the insulting attentions of a vi
cious Count and longs to marry her.
When It seems impossible for the
story to come to a happy conclusion
the real identity of the girl is reveal
ed through the bullet mark when the
gypsy stole her, and she takes her
place on the throne.
