Rastus, a former citizen of Sew
ard, seems to have fallen on dark and
evil days since he departed from “our
midst” and a recent issue of the Val

In the case of our Rastus the thing
served is usually time, as he is con

company will maintain in the building
a well trained sales force, which will
handle the business of firms all over
the country who otherwise would be
without New York representation.
The building will be finished in a
year. Manufacturers may get the
services of the building’s staff, with
an exhibition room for their products.
This staff will book orders, and the
rest of the organization will expedite
‘shipments, which can be sent in car

and reshipped.
Later branches of this building will
be established in London, Petrograd
and Moscow.

KODIAK MAN ARRESTED
ON STEAMER ALASKA
diaries Mann, a resident of Ko
diak, was arrested hero on the arrival
of the steamship Alaska form the
south, on a warrant issued in the
Commissioner’s court at Kodiak,
charging the prisoner with la-ceny.
He will be sent over on the first boat
for Kodiak for trial before the com
missioner.
Mann states that he was on the way
to Kodiak with an investor from the
States to look over some mining
property owned by himself and part
ner, when he was taken from the boat.
The complaint on which the warrant
issued was made by the partner,
and is said to aver that the prisoner
took certain articles from a cabin
owned by the partner. Mann main
tains that he is innocent of the
charge and that on arrival at Kodiak
he will have no trouble in clearing
himself. From his story it is be
lieved that an action for an account
ing would have been more in keeping
with the case than an arrest.—Valdez
Prospector.
VALDEZ WILL BE
A LICENSE TOWN
The enumerators appointed by the
commissioner to take a census of the
town on the question of licensing the
sale of liquor in Valdez, completed
their work this afternoon and render
ed their report to the court.
Four hundred and ninety persons
expressed their choice on the ques
tion. Of these 330 persons were in
favor of the granting of liquor
licenses; 106 expressed their disap
proval and 54 did not care whether or
not licenses were granted.
As those without choice in the mat
ter are counted as against licenses,
the vote stands 330 for licenses to 160
against, or more than 2 to 1 for
’ wet.”—Valdez Prospector.
