. EVERYMAN’S CLUB
NEATLY DECORATED
Heading Rooms Have Been Thorough
ly Overhauled and Is Resplen
dent with Fresh Paint.
The “Boy Mushers," a youthful or
ganization which flourished for a time
but which has been disbanded owing
to many of the members taking up
their residences in other parts of the
country or having joined other clubs,
have donated the balance of the fund
in their treasury to Everyman’s Club.
Master Henry Wulff, who has gone to
Brooklyn, was the treasurer, and be
fore leaving he turned over $3.60 to
the committee of ladies in charge of
the improvements being made at the
reading rooms.
The ladies of the Civic League have
been untiring in their efforts in hav
ing the club rooms thoroughly over
hauled and the rooms are now as neat
and attractive as cleanliness and
fresh paint can make them. The la
dies are reported to have had a des
perate time in reaching a decision as
to the colors which would prove most
harmonious but finally evolved an ef
fect which is very pleasing.
E. C. Keesler, who is taking care
of the club rooms and library, has
clevery constructed shelves for the
care of magazines and files for news
papers and is doing much toward
making the reading room a popular
resort for men. The Valdez Dock
company kindly furnished the lum
ber for the shelves and racks.
The rooms are still ill-equipped in
the matter of chairs and the Civic
League invites any person who pos
sesses articles of that kind which are
not in use to donate the chairs to the
club. Any kind of chair will be
thankfully received.
FRIENDS OF MINING
MEN ARE ANXIOUS.
Passengers coming up from Ella
mar on the launch Shamrock today
state that the friends of Jack Whalen
and Ike Westberg, two well known
miners of this district, are anxious
" 1
as to their safety, and fear that some
mishap may have befallen them. The
men left Valdez last Friday for Ella
mar in the launch Sampson, carrying
some freight which was urgently re
quired at Ellamar, but when the
Shamrock reached that port yester
day the men had not reported there.
It is feared that an accident may
have happened as Whalen took a
number of packages of freight from
the Shamrock, owing to the latter
launch having to make the trip to
Port Wells before going to Ellamar,
knowing that the packages were ur
gently wanted by Ellamar people.
Supposing that Whalen had reached
Ellamar several days ago, Capt. Tim
Marcum was surprised when inform
ed that the Sampson had not reached
there, nor had any word been received
from them.
FEARED OVERLAND
TRIP TO ANCHORAGE.
The Rev. Edward H. and Mrs. Mo
lony returned this morning on the
Admiral Evans, after a week’s visit’
in Seward. Mr. and Mrs. Molony had
hoped to take the overland trail and
hike from""Seward to Anchorage, but
a big wind storm and conditions of,
the trail made this impossible.
Church services were held in the
school-house by courtesy of the school
board, as the church heating appara
tus was not ready for the sudden
change in the weather. An enthusi
astion congregation attended the ser
vices and on Monday Mr. Molony or
ganized a vestry and LadieB’ Guild.
The latter held their first Guild
meeting on Wednesday at Mrs. Graff’s
home. The prospects for St. Peter’s
parish are reported bright.
Mr. Molony expects to return to
Anchorage on the Steamship Farra
gut, to complete organization there.
A. J. Dimond in Hospital.
A. J. Dimond, of the law firm of
Donohoe & Dimond, is a patient at
the Valdez hospital where he will un
dergo an operation on his right leg
which has been giving him trouble as
a result of having the thigh bone bad
ly shattered several years ago. His
many friends hope that he will soon
again be with them, completely re

Board of Equalization will Continue
... • >
Sessions Until all Protests Have
Been Considered by Connell.
The session of the Valdez city coun
cil last night sitting as a board of
equalization proved a fairly harmo
nious affair and many of the prop
erty owners who appeared to protest
against the valuation placed upon
their property by the assessor, set
tled the disputed questions without
filing written protests, a formality
Which the board is requiring in all
cases where protests could not be ad
justed at the time protest was en
tered.
The board will continue its sessions
until all protests are adjusted or val
uations have been equalized, after
which date the council will be pre
pared to carry the cases to the courts
where property owners refuse to pay
taxes on thd valuation placed upon
their property by the assessor.
Several blocks of property, located
outside the city proper, but on the
waterfront claimed by the city, was
ordered assessed and the property
owners served with personal notice
in ' order to comply with the ordi
nance. ‘ The hay, grain and coal of
the Valdez Dock company was order
ed assessed, as was also the property
owners located along the City dock.
The question of including the wa
terfront in the assessable properties
of the city proper was discussed at
considerable length as several of
those along the approach to the City
Dock hrd requested to be included
in the assessment as they enjoyed all
the advantages of the improvements
made by the city and believed they
should bear their share of the ex
pense.
Senator O. P. Hubbard, who was
present, was requested for an opin
ion on the matter of including the
residents of th^ waterfront in the
city and reiterated- his statements
made at previous meetings that the
city had undoubted control over the
waterfront: He believed the courts
would uphold the contentions of the
city council in claiming possession of
the waterfront to navigable water.

MANY concerns, lose money every night by not attract

busiest thoroughfares—their show windows pouring a
brilliant flood of light upward, outward and downward,
thereby adding an attraction to the goods displayed not

glance at the beautiful effect—most people, stop and ad
mire it. The proprietors of these shops are well versed
in all modern methods which make for success in devel

light pays, and use Edison Mazda Lamps to obtain it at
