FIRE ALARM AT.
AN EARLY HOUR
Sparks Set Fire to Roof of Tower
House, But Flames Are Extln
guished By Carpenters.
Sparks from the stove in the tower
house of the City Express set the roof
afire and caused the sending of an
alarm to the fire hall at 7 o’clock this
morning. The fire was put out by
Otto Holm and his helpers, who were
working on the Osland building next
door and who discovered the fire. A
bucket of water put it out of com
mission.
Eire was immediately started in the
big engine by Engineer Graham and
the high pressure system made ready,
while the boys who responded to the
alarm started the two chemicals to
the scene, but had their trouble all
for nothing.
The building is occupied by Mr.

>New Telephone Service
The Valdez Electric Company is now installing a
modern Telephone System and guarantees to merit
a continuance of the support of the people of Valdez,
so liberally extended to them in the past.

-The People’s Company
NEW TELEPHONES
TO MINING CAMPS
Pursuant to an announcement made
several weeks ago the Valdez Electric
Company is now busy with the pre
liminary work of installing the best
telephone system in Alaska. A por
tion of the equipment is on the ground
and Superintendent Erickson, with a
crew of men, is stringing the heavy
cable.
Most of the outfit is furnished by
the General Electric Company, of
New York, and includes everything
that is modern in telephonic service.
Along with the general prosperity an:1
development of Valdez must go an
up-to-date telephone system.
The business men of Valier. who
a few months ago organized this
company, consistently believe and in
sist that nothing is too good for the
“home town.” It now appears that
a long-distance service must soon be
, installed. The Valdez Electric Co.
will be in a position to enter this
field. It will be a great day for Val
dez when she can be in touch with
the many mining camps tributary to
Valdez bay.
This company was organized along
i business lines and has demonstrat
ed its ability to solve at least one
of the vital problems in which all are
interested. It now proposes to solve
another problem for better, cheaper
and more efficient telephone service.
That the company will attain suc
; cess in its several undertakings goes
without saying. It looks forward to
that kind of success in which ihe
public generally, the individual con
sumer and the stockholders, have one
common interest. adv.
RETIREMENT COMES MORE
QUICKLY IN FRENCH ARMY
PARIS.—/The French war depart
ment is busy revising the rules on

cers. Captains will now be retired at
51 instead of 53, majors at 54 instead
1 of 56, colonels at 53 instead of 60,
brigadier generals at 60 instead of 62
and generals commanding an army
corps at 64 instead of 65.

THE INDIAN AND FIREWATER.
Arizona is asking the Bureau of In
dian Affairs at Washington to have
the laws and regulations so amend
ed that the Indian who buys fire
water may be punished, as Well as
the white man who sells It. The
adoption of such a law would great
ly simplilfy the problem of dealing
with such • cases.
Under the present system, the, In
dian, who has lost none of his orig
inal cunping, works the white man
for liquor and then, immune himself,
works the courts for witness fees
against the bootlegger, ^he. net re
sult is that the Indian is a very act
ive factor in defeating the laws made
for his protection. In the meantime,
the Indian is being given bis allot
ments and is demanding his citi
ifenship. It would he a wise provis
ion to'have the law so amended that
the Indian could he made to feel its
power, instead of using it to his pro
fit by turning sneak and stool pigeon.
