NO BUSINESS DISTURBANCE ANTICIPATED.
The Times is informed that a representative of one of the
large wholesale houses in the states has conveyed the “informa
tion” to certain local business men in Anchorage that, in the
event of war, he expects to receive word from his particular
house that all credits will be stopped and that cash only will
he accepted for goods. The Times is reliably informed that
this agent also informs certain business men, that, following the
opening of hostilities, debts will not be collectable, interest on
notes or indebtedness cannot be collected, and that things gen
erally will go to the dickens, to employ no harsher term. The
Times desires to take issue with this pessimistic individual,
who sees nothing but financial wreck and ruin staring us in the
face. «
For these calamity howlers, we entertain no sympathy, es
pecially when their fears are based on a misapprehension easily
dispelled by referenc to the laws of the land. There is noth
ing in the existing law that comprehends that, in the event of
war, debts are not collectable, or that obligations are made im
mune from the ordinary processes. The same conditions exist
as in times of peace.
■I * ** ,
HE IS A FAVORED ONE.
Tt will be news to Alaskans that they have in their midst
as a bona fide resident of the territory, one who is entitled to
the distinction of being numbered among the great personages
of America. Such is the case, however. Among the list of the
foremost Americans, according to the printed publication en
titled, “Who’s Who in America,” we find the name of this
gentleman, the only Alaskan so honored. But let him tell c4‘
bis activities that entitle him to such honor, in his own words:
“Sawyer, Edmund Ogden, Jr., editor, writer. (Here fol
lows record of birth, etc.) Originated plan for mining Alaska
coal lands and building of necessary railroads, through a gov
ernment commission, etc., and centered efforts on securing se
lection of the Seward-Fairbanks route.”
The efforts of those of .us less important individuals, who
were devoting our small and inconsequential abilities in this
direction years before this modest gentleman migrated to Alas
ka, it would appear, amounted to nothing. It was left to this
modern Moses to come and lead us out of the wilderness. And
to think that we didn’t know it before, until we found it re
vealed to tts in “Who’s Who in America!” We propose to
make a deep study of this important publication so as to find
out the names of the fellows who did things in America.
Thieves, not of the petty kind, but those who go in for im
portant gains, are active again in Anchorage. Friday night,
between the hours of 9 and 1- o’clock p. m., the home of a
householder was entered, during the absence of the occupants,
and articles to the value of $250 were stolen. It will he recal
Id that some months ago, silverware to the value of some $.)00
or ,$600 was stolen, while being transported from Seward to
Anchorage, for a local householder. The marshal’s( office at
that time devoted no particular effort toward the recovery of
these stolen goods, not even reporting the crime to the head of
fice at Valdez. And there has been a change in the marshal’s
office here. The Times has consistently advocated that the
marshal’s office would serve the material interests of the pub
lic if it would give more time to their protection, in lieu of con
centrating its entire efforts in the matter of bootlegging oper
ations, whitdi at best are but mere violations of regulations.
With respect trt the more recent robbery, it may be said that
the suspect in the Seward-Anchorage robbery has been about
town all winter and he is entirely capable of the last crime. He
doesn’t know it, but his every movement is being watched, at
the expense of private capital, and one of these big, large days,
the arm of the law will reach out and grab him:_
SAIL SEVEN HUNDRED
MILES IN MOTOR BOAT
NEW YORK, JPan. 29.—A voyage
of 700 miles in a motorboat from a
spot in the Atlantic ocean, where they
had abandoned their sinking ship, to
the coast of Morocco, was the experi
ence related by five of the crew of the
American schooner Rob Roy on their
arrival from Havana aboard the ship
Mexico.
According to the sailors, the Rob
Roy sailed from Alciante, Spain, for
Havana, and on November 18 the
vessel ran into a heavy gale. She
sprung a leak and became waterlog
ged.
The vessel was abandoned on No
vember 20 and the captain and crew
took to a motorboat they had on
board. They steered east hoping to
pick up a passing ship or sight land.
After traveling 700 miles they
landed on the coast of Morocco, and
made their way to Mogador, where
they appealed to the American consul.
The men were sent to the Canary Isl
ands where they boarded a steamer
for Havana.

BLAME THE WAR—And Not Your Druggist.
You are apt to blame your druggist
because he charges you more than he
did a year ago. Maybe you can’t
understand why you only get half as
many quinine capsules for a dime, or
why you have to pay almost double
for the same size bottle of Castor Oil.
It would MEAN MORE BUSINESS
FOR YOUR DRUGGIST IF HE
COULD SELL AT THE SAME OLD
PRICES, BUT HE CANNOT.
BECAUSE OF BLOCKADES AND EMBARGOES, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR
HIM TO SELL AT THE OLD PRICES.
The European war has practically cut off all importations of drugs from for
eign markets. Men formerly given steady employment in the great German
chemical factories are now in the trenches.
WHERE FOREIGNERS FORMERLY SOLD TO US, NOW THEY BUY
from us. Nations which once SOLD drugs to this country are now buying
here—thus not only cutting off our largest source of supply, but demanding
that we supply them with their needs.
YOUR DRUGGIST ISN’T A ROBBER, HE IS YOUR FRIEND AND NEIGH
bor. He is interested in his community—in YOU. He tries to serve your best
interests. When he charges you more for his goods it is because they arc
costing him more—many times more. Everything he buys costs him from
fifty per cent to FIVE THOUSAND per cent more than it did a year ago;
even his freight has advanced materially.

SPECIAL AGENT INVESTIGATING
(Cordova Times.)
We have been informed that a spe
cial agent of the district court is mak
ing an investigation of the qualifica
tions of the liquor dealers for a li
cense renewal in July, it having been
reported that some of them are get
ting the money the easiest and quick
est way. Any such violations may
subject the saloon keeper to an im
mediate revocation of his license. The
court evidently intends a strict en
forcement of the law on the liquor
question and the dealers will have no
one to blame but themselves if they
persist in allowing their places to be
; the headquarters for the “stew bum"
element; continue to dispense then
goods to minors, and habitual drunk
; ards, and allow unfortunates to be re
] lieved of their bank roll.
