ODD FELLOWS
TO ORGANIZE
Short History of ths Order
Soon to be Established
In Valdez.
Now that Valdez is to have a
local lodge of the order of Odd
Fellows, a little information con
nected with the order may be of
interest.
The order is established in the
United States, Canada, Australia,
Denmark, Germany, Netherlands,
Sweden and Switzerland, with a
total membership, males, of 1,
583,169; encampment members,
221,429; Rebekah members, 666,
537. Total number of persons
belonging to the order 2,023,731.
There are grand lodges in fifty
of the states and territories of
the United States, five in Canada,
one each in Australia, Denmark,
Germany, Netherlands, Sweden
and Switzerland.
The Alaska lodges, ol which
there are five in existence, will,
like all others that have no grand
lodge in the state or territory, be
under the Sovereign Grand Lodge
of Baltimore, Md. Valdez lodge
being at least the sixth in Alas
ka, there is no doubt but there
will soon be a grand lodge in
Alaska.
There was $5,71 1,049.11 paid by
the order in the year 1910, and
lhe order as a whole has $57,
743,272 invested in various ways.
There were 3.856,431 members
relieved since 1830, 318,291 wid
owed families relieved; total re
lief paid since 1830, $130,698,
390.08.
It is plain to see the import
ance of the order and the good
it must bring to Valdc-z.
This is the kind of weather
that the tenants of “The Cliff”
wear a broad smile and spend
their time in their rooms with
comfort.
FUND ASKED FOR
RELIEF OF NATIVES
Ur. Emil Krulish, commission
er of public health for Alaska,
will appear before the House
Committee on Appropriations at
W&shington and ask that sums
allowed the .Bureau of Education
he materially increased.
For some time the Bureau of
Education has been endeavoring
to secure an additional appropri
ation of ,$50,000 for the care of
those Alaska natives who are af
flicted with disease. At least one
new hospital in Southeastern
Alaska is badly needed, and oth
ers are. needed in other parts of
I he territory. The sum was in
cluded in the estimates at the
session of congress a year ago,
hut it as cut out by congress.
At present the work of medi
cal relief among the natives is
very inadequately carried on out
<of funds really intended for oth
er purposes, and if the sum ask
ed specifically for medical relief
could be obtained, it would result
in ail ultimate saving to the gov- i
eminent. If the sum asked is se
cured at this session of congress,
the second hospital in this divis
ion will he reserved for tuber
culosis patients. \V. T. I.opp,
chief of the Alaska division of the
bureau, is also in Washington,
and will appear before I he com-i
mittee in the same behalf.
It is pretty certain, also. Dial
while Dr. Krulish is in Washing
ton, he will prepare a sanitary
.code for the territory. There has
been a general impression in
■some til aces in Alaska that the
mission of Dr. Krulish related
solely to the health of the na
.tives, but this is only an incident
of hi’s work in the territory.—Ju
neau Dispatch.
It is worth while taking a;
chance on the- $800 diamond ring j
being raffled at Plant & Com- j
pany’s, jewelers.
Travel Heading for the Innoko.
A general rush from Fair
banks, Ruby and Nome to the new
goldfield in the Innoko district,
is now in progress, according to
Victor Carmichael, who arrived in
Seattle recently from Crippie City,
the main camp of the new strike.
“Good pay has been taken out
in Fox gulch and many of the
other smaller creeks and the win
ter digging has proved the creeks
richer than anyone anfciciftated,’’
said Mr. Carmichael. “Dirt that
runs It .50 to the foot has been
discovered on El Dorado creek
and 13.00 dirt has been found on
Montana oftek.. Men are coming
over the snow -from almost ev
ery camp in .the north."
Oard of Thanks.
We wish to thank the fire de
partment and all those who as
sisted in preventing the fire in
the Schiflfefr residence from
spreading and possibly destroy
ing our home.

GOOD ENOUGH FOR
CHIMNEY SWEEP
I Vienna, Jan. 6.--The chim.
|ney sweep who stole Emperor
Franz Josef's breakfast the oth
er morning in the palace at Bud
apest has been released.
His majesty .customarily ris
es at 3.30 and breakfasts immed
iately after a cold plunge. The
cook as well as the other ser
vants rise at 2 o’clock in order
to have everything in readiness,
as the emperor is impatient of
delay. On this occasion when
the emperor’s attendant pushed
the button for breakfast and the
cook went to the larder to get
the cold meat he had prepared
the night before, he was horror
struck to find that it'had disap
peared.
Investigation led to the room
of the chimney sweep, where he
Was found devouring the last
mouthful of the imperial meal.
He thought it had been intended
for the cok.
LIMITS BONDSMEN

Indianapolis, Ind., Jan. (5.
Prosecutor Anderson has limited
bondsmen for the convicted dy
namiters to residents of the state
of Indiana, in order that he may
look into their financial condi
tion.
NORTHWESTERN
STUCK IN MUD
Tin* steamship Northwestern
arrived today during the noon
hour, but upon attempting to
make a lauding she stuck her
nose into the mud, where she re
mains at the time of going to
press. If she does not slide off
at low tide this evening she will
be gotten off at high tide about
midnight.
It’s surprising to sec how
many people make for “The
Cliff” to get warm moms these
snappy days.
ITEMS OF INTEREST.
The world’s production of rub
ber next year is estimated aft S)l,_
000 tons, the demand at 1(13,000
tons.
The wallpaper industry trt this
country is about 100 years old,
but Ihe general use of wall [taper
dales from 185?.
Jamaica has a ureal deal of
valuable wood in its interior, hut
Ihe streams are not large enough
to bring it to the coast.
in the production of rice and

tenth, compared with othereoun
Itries of the world.
