BOMETHINQ ABOUT THE
FIREMEN'S DANOE
Everything is in readiness for
the1 fireman’s !dahce tdriight and,
judging by thfc Advance sale of
tickets the affair will be a big
success, both socially and finan
cially, and the proposed installa
tion of a fire alarm system is
practically assured.
Some of the members of the
committee in charge of the af
fair, in iheir zealousness to dis
pose of tickets, did at times per
haps place themselves in danger
of bodily harm, as Heine will re
member when he saw the airship.
An amusing incident occurred
today which nearly resulted in a
serious accident to one of the
members of the department. Char
ley Adler, realizing his popu
larity about town, and at the ear
nest solicitation of the other
members, agreed to sell too tick
ets before noon today. Charley
had worked one side of the street
with great success, as was shown
by the broad smile displayed on
bis features when lie started to
tackle the other side. The noon
hour being close at hand and still
having a number of tickets left
Charley'commenced to speed up a
little. It occurred to him that
Sam Knudson ought to be good for
at least five tickets, so he started
on the run to get Sam before he
went to lunch. Rounding Tony’s
corner at a two-minute clip with
his head down and breathing hard,
tie was mistaken by Tony for one
of Sullivan's boarders trying to
make a getaway. Tony, with bis
usual bravery, rushed out the side
door and casually stuck out his
aiin just in 'line for Charley to
connect with it. The result was
disastrous, for after the referee
had given the official count, a
physician had to be summoned,
who finally brought Charley "back.
Explanations follwved which re
sulted in Tony purchasing the
balance of Charley’s stock of
tickets, which partially squared
matters. Fortunately Charley will
be able to attend the dance show
ing no ill effect of his strenuous
time.
•'vs.ue J <111 such small me;.
<1 ■•i'ls • • •. ! • n,v has worked io
l ii' ii lo ii i,l »• the dance a sui -
coiis 1 ns- r.l. Spiers and Bren
nan, ns the advertising commit
tee, are entitled to great credit for
their efforts, while Adler, Davis
and Dgarf have worked hard to
secure the hest music ever, in ad
dition to securing both Eagle and
Moose halls for the evening.
Kramer and Johnston, (lie re
freshment committee, are holding
out great promises to the epi
cures, but the results of their
;boasts will not be known until
later in the evening. The depart
ment showed great foresight in
selecting such distinguished gen
tlemen as Harry Schultz, Charles
Bush, C. C. Rudolph and Horace
DeLine as a reception committee.
Each one is gifted with the Ches
terlieldian manner necessary in an
affair of this kind and it goes
without saying that everybody
will have a good time under their
able guidance.
All in all, tonight's affair prom
ises to he one of the biggest and
best social stunts ever pulled off
in Valdez and everybody should
make a special effort lo be there.
Ben llowell lias taken a posi
tion at the Valdez postoffice, as
the interior mail coming through
this office makes considerable ex
tra work.
It generally takes a wise man
to'say nothing.

VALDEZ, ALASKA
LAYS BLAME ~
Los Angeles, Jan. 25.—To lhe ;
willingness of the clergy to.mar
ry divorced persons is attributed
much of the blame for matrimon
ial conditions that in this stale
require remedial legislation, ac
cording to a report just complet
ed hy the California commission
on marriage and divorce.
The commission is composed of
clergymen of all denominations
and is headed by Bishop Joseph
R. Johnson, of Pasadena. The
commission made an extensive
investigation of divorce and mar
riage conditions in Los Angeles,
San Francisco and Sacramento
counties, covering a period of six
years, and it will be used in the
effort to have new 'divorce laws
enacted at the coming'session of
the legislature.
According to the report, 5,57 7
divorced persons were married by
clergymen in thy three‘counties
during the six years ending Dec.
31, 1911. Of this total, 1,909
marriages were performed by
Methodist ministers, who are crit
icised in the report. Of the larg
er denominations, the lowest
number of marriages, it, was
performed by Episcopal rectors,
while Hebrew clergymen are next
with 188.
CO.SGETDECISION
i Washington, D. (7., Jan. 25.
! Railroads and express compan
ies won today a revolutionary
decision in the supreme court
when it was held that contracts
limiting to small sums their lia
bility for loss of shipments were
not subject to state laws, but to
interstate laws.
It was further held that con
tracts limiting liability to a small
'sum, in return for a low rate,
I were not in violation of the inter
'state commerce laws, particularly
the Carmack amendment. Scores
upon scores of such contracts
have been held void under state
laws.
