THE Territorial legislature will]
adjourn soon and the great domain of I
Alaska will be safe another two years.
This august body of local Justiniaus
passed many laws; some Ttidicrov.
‘■orae needed, and some that shou. ‘
he relegated to innocuous desuetude
as soon as possible. The Territory
had a very fair working aggregation
of laws before this body of solons
was precipitated upon the public and
would probably get along for a few
oecades had they failed to pass any
legislation at all. But the school
laws are good and were badly need
ed; the shelter cabins along the trails
and the home for aged, together with
many other bills were also a good
feature of the 1917 assembly, hut we
believe a new country can be legis
lated to death. What the Territory
needs is more capital and more work,
and conditions will quickly adjust
themselves. We have found that what
the people frown upon soon becomes
unpopular, whether there is a statute
against it or not.
THE Anchorage Weakly Democrat
is still harpooning the officials in the
Marshal’s office. In fact, so assiduous
has the editor of the Anchorage expo
nent of Jeffersonian doctrine become
in his efforts to prejudice his readers
against Marshal Brennemau's corps of
efficient deputies that the public is
beginning to wonder if it is not more
a personal than a public matter that
causes these weekly diatribes against
our worthy exponent of law and or
der. If Marshal Brenneman really
turned the gentleman's application
for a deputyshiff’ down iie conferred
a great benefit upon the community,
taking the articles at their true worth.
MR. JOHN EMEL, manager of the
Valdez Hacking Company, states that
his plant will employ about one hun
dred persons, and that there will he
work for every woman and child in
the city as soon as the big plant starts
up. The benefits of this concern to
the city should not be underestimated
by our people. It will leave thousands
of dollars in town and give light em
ployment to the children through the
summer months. It is the duty of ev
ery citizen of Valdez to give all the
encouragement possible to this large
company in order to show them that
we appreciate their presence here.
MANY miners have left Valdez the
past few days for their summer’s |
work, and the town presents rather a
deserted appearance. The Granby, ;
Gold Hill, Cube. Cliff and Patton’s
mines are using about all the avail
able men in the city, and the Ramsay-1
Rutherford, the Valdez bonanza prop
erty also employs a large force. But
they will all return in the fall with
a goodly stake, which will make good
times for the city next winter.
IK THE party who lost the potato
on McKinley street will call at this
office and pay fifty cents for advertis
ing same he can have his precious
property back; otherwise it will be
presented to charity.
ADMIRAL DE CHAIR is a member
of the English commission coming to
confer with President Wilson in re
gard to the conduct of the war. He
should be promptly sat upon.
YOU can name your boy Percy but
if nature gives him red hair and a
crop of freckles he will still be ah.
to put up a good scrap.
IK IT is true that after marriage
the husband and wife grow to look
like each other God pity some people
we know.
AND the next thing to agitate the
public mind is, what are we going to
do July Fourth?
PAINTERS and carpenters are busy
all over the city and it looks like
“Spring has came.”

NEGRO GANG BOSH MAKES
MEXICANS WAVE FLAG
MARYSVILLE. April 19 —George
Washington Booker, negro section
hand, formerly a member of the Uni
ted States army, mobilized a little
army of his own today in the streets
of Marysville. The army was compos
ed of Mexicans.
The negro and the Mexicans were
working together on the Southern
Pacific section this morning when
one of the Mexicans said something
derogatory about Americans. Rocker
grabbed up a tamping bar and "call
ed" the Mexicans to order. He forced
them to line up. gave one or them
an American flag, and then led them
through the streets, (’heers greeted
them along Ihe line of march.
At the least sign of defection in
the ranks Booker brandished his
iron bar and looked ugly. The army
was extremely meek.

federal grand jury in Erie last week.

day that he had resigned his seat.
ALASKA DOGS GET
USED TO THE GUNS
NOME—Mrs. U. E. Darling oil the
last mail received ail interesting letter
from Rene Haas from “somewhere
in France.” Haas was in charge ol
the dog transportation service and
judging from numerous pictures en
closed of his teams it must be "some
where" in the Vosges, lie had charge
of 22 teams and he states that there
are 20 others doing yoenian service
at the front. As a means of keeping ap
supplies at the firing line, Haas says
they are unequaled. The Alaska dogs
have quite got over their scare at -he
,i>ar of ilu ms, and uo not mi d it
in the least. He says they all work
beautifully. The Nome built sled has
proved its value and that type on
account of the exceptional service ren
dered has usurped the place of all
others.
