While discussing conditions at An
chorage yesterday Andrew Christen
sen of the land and industrial depart
ment stilted that it would be the
policy of the department in handling
townsite matters from now on to con-J
fer with the residents in the matter.
To this end the following statement
has been issued by Townsite Manager
Watts, of the inlet community.
“In order that the property holders
of Anchorage may take a wider in
terest and control in affairs of the
townsite, with respect to improve
ments and operations of the same, aj
i
policy of publicity has been decided j
upon by the townsite authorities, j
This policy will take form in the fol
lowing manner:
“Matters of interest to residents,,
such as contemplated improvements,
the method of levying assessments for)
different purposes, and other matters
which are of interest to the people
generally, will be advertised before!
being put into operation. The ad
vertisement will state that which is!

MINISTERS THREATEN
TO PUBLISH NAMES
OF“GAY”CHAPS
MONROE, Wis.—(Special.) — The
Monroe Ministerial Association is go
ing to elevate the morals of this city,
and printres ink is to be the weapon.
Undaunted by the high cost of print I
paper, the preachers have started
publication of the Informer.
* The publication announces its edi-1
torial policy, in part, as follows:
“Publicity is a mighty restraining;
power. Beasts of bashan should be)
branded.”
The ministers, it is said, have the
names of men prominent in social and
business life in the city who have1
“cut loose,” and these will be publish- j
ed unless the reform their ways im-!
mediately.
contemplated, and call for written ob-<
jcctions, and suggestions or alterna- j
tives.
i
“It is the purpose of this office to j
co-operate as far as possible with the |
residents of Anchorage* and it is not j
the present intention, nor has it at any ;
time been the intention, to force im- j
provements or other expense not
deemed absolutely necessary, upon
property holders.
“When such objections and su££es
tions are received, a careful canvass
will be made of them, and the action*
of this office will be governed as far
as possible by the result of these com-;
munications.
“The policy with respect to peti-1
tions or requests for improvements
will not be changed as a result of this
policy. Xo improvements will be in
augurated without receiving requests
for same, and it will only be following j
receipt of such petition that advertis-;
ing will be done.
“This office is also glad at any and
all times to receive suggestions or
ideas in writing relative to its activ-!
ities. Xo objection or suggestion will
be too small to receive consideration,
and it is urgently hoped that discus
sion and valuable suggestions will be i
received as a result of this policy.
This letter is the result of a strong'
protest made by the people of An
chorage against the high-handed man
ner in which townsite affairs have
been handled previously. Strong
editorials on the matter were printed
in the Anchorage papers and protests
sent to Washington.

FIGHTING TO
HUNT WOLVES
PKTROGRAD, Russia. — (Special.)
I—A wolf hunt in which both Russiun
| and German soldiers joined, is descri
; bed in correspondence from the Polish
j front. Parties of Russian and Ger
; man scouts met recently and were
hotly engaged in a skirmish when a
| pack of wolves dashed upon the seen**
! and attacked the wounded.
Hostilities were suspended at one/’
and Germans and Russians ins*act
ively attacked the pack, killing nboi't
fifty of the wolves, After the hunt
the soldiers separated, each party re
turning unmolested to its own
trenches.
Along some sections of this front
hungry wolves have been particularly
bold this winter, constituting a real
danger to outposts of both armies,
and repeatedly the combatants have
had to send hunting parties against
the common enemy. While at this
sort of work sniping is suspended by
a tacit agreement among opposing
forces.
