SOLDIER INSURANCE PERIOD
EXTENDED SIXTY DAYS
Dr Jos. A. 8i!verman today re
ceived a cablegram from F. P. Folate,
division director of civilian relief,
stating that the President had signed
a joint resolution by congress extend
ing the insurance period for soldiers
from February 12 to April 12. Sol
diers with families should take ad
vantage of this insurance as it pro
vides relief for their families in case
of death, and is quite cheap compared
to the standard rates.

DARK HORSE SCOOPS
HONORS AT TOURNAMENT
Valdez billiard experts are dazed.
The unexpected has happened. Juat
at the last minute when rosy visions
of victory persisted in the sub-con
scious mind the laurel wreath was
rudely torn from the fevered brow.
Deputy Marshal S. O. Casler last
night was staged as the equine of eb
ony hue. And he cleaned his oppon
ent by 28 points, giving an exhibi
tion that was masterly in its deftness
of touch and tripping off points with
the ivory spheres as smoothly as the
best of them. Clinton Egan, his op
ponent, is a sad and chastened man
today; his ardor has been quenched,
but the deputy marshal is crowing
like a Missouri rooster over his skill.
Another surprise was sprung—and
badly sprung—when Geo Reinke, the
local wiz, defeated Dr. Wlnans, the
invincible, the champion of the tour
nament-so far. The doughty doctor
had won every game played up to his
Waterloo, and the prize was in his
grasp. But he was off in his deft touch
last evening, and his merciless an
tagonist rolled up the points In rapid
succession, nosing under the wire a
victor by 47 points. These are the rea
sons publicly given why the local
sharks are in a chastened mood to
day. To have one champ beaten was
possible, but two in one night puts a
different complexion upon affairs and
makes tho victor hard to pick To
night's games will be in the pony bal
let class, tin- players being picked
from near-champs and has-beens. The
first game will he played between
Thomas Selby and Harlan Keesler.
While the boys are outwardly friendly j
and courteous, the germ of enmity has
already been emplanted, and a dead-!
ly fued may grow and flourish from i
tonight's work. The deti weaver who!
spins the web of Fate is up against
the real proposition. The combatants
will be searched for deadly weapons
before the affray Is staged.
The second game will be for blood
and the spectators have already se
cured ringside seats in anticipation
of something real good. Burr Snyder,
the popular Signal Corps sergeant,
will register as the military champion
and W. S. Bonnifleld, a local attorney
will take the legal end. An injunction
is pending in case Mr. Snyder obtains
the lead, and it is feared litigation
will grow out of his victory. Both men
are champions in their classes and a
thrilling contest is assured. The mili
tary against the law. The law against
the army. May the best man win.

Hoad Commissioner James E. Wil
son has decided to commence work
on the new Nizina bridge, an appro
priation of $25,000 for which was
made by the last legislature. This
sum was found insufficient to com
plete the work, but the commissioner
has let a contract for 3,200 feet of the
bridge at $7.50 per foot, to Carl Carl
son and John Erickson, employes of
the Copper River railroad. This will
leave 3,225 feet of the structure to
be added when the funds are avail
able.
Deputy Marshal Fursman, of Cor
dova, has 418 gallons of booze on
