SCHOONER SITKA IRRiVES
III PORT STORM DU
The waterfront is taking on all the
aspects of a real fishing port with
the steady arrival each day of hali
but schooners seeking shelter from
the storms raging off the Portlock
banks. During the last 24 hours
five more boats came into port one
of them, schooner Sitka, Captain
Wm. Doucett, with two dories and
the wheel house stove in. Other
schooners were the Portlock, Captain
M. Selness; the Senator, Captain
Chris Ross; the Eagle, Captain Eng
dal; the Foremost, Captain Ness.
ALASKA DUE AT 3 A. M.

the S. S. Alaska was to the effect that
the steamer had left Cordova at 6
o’clock this morning and would arrive
in port at 3 o’clock a. m. Approxi
mately 300 tons of general cargo will

“The principle of the equalization
fee is as old and respectable as gov
ernment itself. It is that the benefi
ciaries of a common service should
pay ratably the cost of that service.
“The equalization fee is not a tax
on production but a charge on the
stream of commerce imposed as a
regulation thereof. It is not‘collected
directly from the farmers but from the
commodity itself as it moves in com
merce. On some commodities it will
be collected on milling or processing
and on others on transportation by
common carriers.”

VERBAL CONTROVERSY
OVEI COMING DEE
DANCE MANAGER AND AMERICAN
LEGION MEN ARGUE AS TO
SUCCESS OF EVENT
Will the American Legion dance, to
be held at the Odd* Fellows hall on
Tuesday next, Washington’s birthday,
fail of its own weight simply because
as it happens, no boat will be at the
dock that evening?
Pete Anderson, prescription special
ist on electrons and gatekeeper of
I terpsichorean functions since Heck
| was a pup, declares emphatically that
| Sewardites will not countenance a
| hop not held on Saturday night. Doc.
Roberts, the intrepid chairman of the
American Legion entertainment con |
mittee, who has the distinction of be
ing the only case of housemaid’s knee
in town on account of his avocation of
i
icleaning out dusty cavities, says “yes,;
they will.” He doesn’t mean maybe.1
■H ■
Also, unfortunately, neither does Pete, j
They were arguing this thing out,
last night with acrimony, Doc. erro-1
neously basing his contention on the
hope that it was not the Saturday
night boat, but the Saturday bath, that
made his fellow townsmen want t<
dance onl that night.
“Let ’em bathe in the middle of the
week, once,” suggested Doc. “A lit-;!
tie propaganda would do fine—keep-jj
ing up with the calendar, as it were.” j
“We can tell ’em that it’s an extra!
bath to celebrate the birth of George
Washington, and still you won’t have
a battling throng,” declared Pete.
“Cleanliness has nothing to do with!
it. The people of Seward get tired of!
dancing just among themselves and
want new faces from the boat. They
are set in their ways,” said he.
“Great gobs of molar turpitude,”
snapped Doc. “Let ’em wear masks,
or false faces then. Those that have, j
dont’ do that anyway, but that is be
side the point. The ladies of the Aux
iliary have provided a rip-roaring card
party for the same evening, so that
those who don’t dance can play cards,
or better still, they can play cards for
a while and an then come downstairs
and learn to dance. Captain Guthrie
and Lieutenant Clarke have agreed to
Seattle chocolate and vanilla ice
cream. Schallerer’s Alaska Shop.
