New Law Will Be Voted On In Novem
ber, 1916, and If Pawed Become*
Effective January 1, 1918.
Clerk of the Court Arthur Lang to
day received from Governor Strong
a copy of the new prohibition, bill
recently passed by the legislature
providing for an expression of the
wishes of the people of the territory
regarding the granting of the privil
ege to manufacture and sell liquor in
Alaska. ,
The measure was introduced by
Representative C. K. Snow, of Ruby,
and provides for the expression of
the wishes of the people on the ques
tion. The election is to be held at
the same time as the election for
members of the legislature and a del
egate in November, 1916.
The bill provides for the manner
of voting and also how the ballot
shall be worded.
Under the terms of the bill if a
majority of the citizens of Alaska are
opposed to the sale, barter, manufac
ture of exchange of intoxicating li
quors in the territory the law will be
effective January 1, 1918, thus allow
ing two years to the saloon keepers
to clean up their stocks and the
breweries to prepare to close up their
plants.
The owners of automobiles brought
their machines out yesterday and were
spinning around town. The White
Ford machine, which holds the rec
ord for the first trip across Alaska
from Fairbanks to the coast, was used
to take the children up and down the
two wharves and about the city.

FOR THE NATIVES
Civic League Will Make Shipment
Next Week—<Toys and Books Need
ed for the Children.
,= Valdez Civic League expects to
make a shipment or clothes to the
natives of the westward, who are in
need of wearing apparel. Judge P.
M. Brown, of the district court, in
formed a number of the ladies of
Valdez of the need of the natives in
the westward towns and they started
the work of collecting the clothing
last fall, but it was then too late to
send the shipment into the Bristol
bay region.
The Valdez Civic League took
charge of the work and will send the
clothes on the next sailing of the
steamer Santa Ana from Seward on
May 10th. All the residents of Val
dez who have clothing which they
have discarded, but which is still
serviceable, can help the Indians by
sending the clothes to Mrs. E. G.
Ames, secretary of the Civic League.
Toys for the children can also be
sent and will be received with great
joy by the little Indian kids, who
have but few pleasures. Books for
those who can read are also wanted.
