PREFER MEN OF FAMILY
FOR ALASKA ROAD WORK
J -
Seattle, March 1. According to advices
received from Washington by the Chan r |
of Commerce, married men are to be given j
* the preference on the construction work of i
.the Alaska government railroad. This do |
cision has been reached by the administra- 1
tion, the reports state, in order to encour
age workers to take their families North
with them and assist in populating the ter
ritory and building up new towns a!< ng
the proposed route.
Alaskans in this city are much at sea
regarding the probable ocean terminal of
the Alaska railroad. It is known that a
number of towns along the coast are mak
ing a fight for the road, but thus far the
President has avoided discussing the ques- j
tion of routes.
DANCE AT A. B. HALL TONIGHT
Percy Charles, chairman of the enter- 1
tainment committee of Camp Iditarod, \ B.,
announces another of the delightful short
Saturday night dances that have become
so popular for tonight.
As the dancing season is drawing to a
close, there is little doubt that these en
1ertaniments will be well patronized. Good
music is promised.

Ali male and female residents of this city
who are in the least interested in the af
fairs of the municipality and of the dis
trict school should attend the mass meet
ing which h:us been called by Mayor Raker
to convene on next Monday night at A. R.
had and assist in making good selections for
the town council and school board. There
is plenty of good material in the town to
select from, and The Pioneer can see no
reasons why the names of many good and
well-qualified citizens should not appear on
the olliiia! ballot for the election of April 7.
Make it a point to bo on hand at the
mass meeting next Monday evening, and
don’t be backward in giving the community
the benefit of any good suggestions that you
might have under your hat.
Among those prominently mentioned as}
possible candidates for councilmen are
Claude Baker, Trank Keenan, Ilenry Sny- j
Ser. William Anslcy, John Holmes, Henry ;
O. Roden, Sam Applebaum and Trank Gu
iarte.
The present school board is composed of
Ilenry Weir. .lay J. Smith and William
Aehcson, and as they have condocted the
•tlv of the school in a first-class man
ner. The Pioneer believes it would be a ,
very wise move to re-elect the entire obard.
