WELCOME TO VALDEZ.
To all visitors in Valdez who
came to help celebrate Indepen
dence Day the town bids wel
come and extends the hope that
they may have a good time. Ev
ery American.citizen has to cele
brate the Fourth of July in some
fashion and to those who like the
jubilee brand of celebration—and
most Americans do—Valdez of
fers as big a one as it could get
up and trusts it will be enough.
A brighter day is slowly dawn
ing for all Alaska. Valdez already
feels the pulse of better times
and larger accomplishment. Be
lieving that this expanding pros
perity will conitnue and embrace
all its neighboring towns Valdez
congratulates all of Alaska upon
the promise of the future.
And Valdez congratulates most
of the people within its bounds
that they are American citizens,
and congratulates the remainder
that they may become citizens
-and meanwhile have all the priv
ileges except political belonging
to Americans.
WORKING UNDER HANDICAP.
The Prospector comes out un
tier a handicap today, as it has
been doing all the past week. The
electric current was cut off from
11:30 to 2, the typesetting ma
chine necessarily remaining idle
during that time. The office was
able to get the most important
news set and ltd the rest go.
With other residents, the Pros
pector hopes the juice company
will finish its experiments before
winter ami furnish the town with
an electric service something like
that called for by its franchise
and distantly approximating the
prices charged.
Numerous local business
houses, besides tile Prospector,
✓depend mi electricity. Unless the
supply is morel reliable limy will
have to fall hack on Katalla gaso
line.
Cable Breaks Near Juneau.
The local cable office have re
ceived news of the breaking of
the government cable between
Sitka and Juneau and the capital
is now out of communication

not effect the cable to the states,

The! line to Juneau is a separate
cable.
