Unless the Woman’s club gets busy
it will be unnecessary to set aside a
‘clean-up day” for Anchorage. The
manner the merchants and property
owners are heeding the cry for a
‘‘City Beautiful” is encouraging and
the administration, too, is lending ev
ery assistance. The appearance of
■1th avenue has undergone a decided
change for the better in the past week
and this improvement has caused
much favorable comment. Especially
is this true as coming from the recent
arrivals from the outside and Alaska
towns and many of them have passed
♦-complimentary remarks upon the con
ditions. Perhaps it is well that for
'.he most part their business has con
fined them to the main street, but
there is no getting away from the fact
that the condition of 4th avenue is a
credit to the city.
Only last night in the lobby of one
of the leading hotels a well-known
traveling man made the remark that
hr has just completed his initial trip
to the various towns along the coast
and that, without exception, the
streets of Anchorage were in far bet
te.- condition than the towns he vis
ited.
And the cleaning-up movement has
not been confined to 4th avenue, but
* . ' ,
the landlords have taken the initia
tive in the matter and several of the
most progressive are cleaning up in
the rear of their premises. The re
sult if noticeable and the contrast ex
ceptionally so. It is perhaps fortun
ate that customers of some of the
stores do not have to enter from the
alley or there might be a consider
able falling off in trade.
It all takes^tiine, no one doubts the
inclination or ambition, and the froz
en condition of the ground has here
to! ore retarded the work, but now
'hat conditions are favorable there is
no doubt but that the rear of the'
premises will soon be as immaculate
as the front and patrons of 4th ave
nue will be asked to inspect the clean
ly handiwork of the shovel and rake.
SCOTTY ALLEN’S WAR DOGS
TO BE SHOWN IN ALASKA
The Alaskan dogs supplied to the
French army by Representative “Scot
ty” Allen will be shown in moving
pictures soon throughout Alaska. \V.
F. Code has made arrangements with
the movie people to have an exhibition
in the territory. Mr. Allen, as most
people know, has supplied the dogs
that are now doing service in the
Vosges mountains and other parts,
of the French front. Attention was.
drawn to the Alaska dogs by Lieuten
ant Rene Haas, formerly a surveyor
of Nome, but now a full fledged officer'
in the glorious French army. Scotty
went to France with the dogs and had
■ experiences that would take volumes
to recount.

NEW YORK, April 11.—The end
of the British fiscal year and the clos
ing of subscriptions to the new Ger
man war loan fell on the same date,
bringing into the limelight the stag
gering totals of cash spent on the war
thus far by these two beligerents.
England has spent more than Ger
many, her total being nearly nineteen
billion, or $18,759,240,000. England
estimates she is spending approxi
mately $27,907,700 a day in her light
to whip Germany.
Germany has spent $16,750,000,000
in her attempt to whip England. This
includes the four hundred million dol
lars sought in the new German loan,
subscriptions for which closed today.
It was last December that the British
chancellor of the exchequer asked for
the latest $1,948,000,000. At the same
time the call went out for a million
more men of all ranks. This million
men brings the total number of Brit
ish subjects under arms and in train
ing up to five million. Germany has
approximately ten million men under
arms and in training.
England estimates that she has
219,000 women in war service and
other occupations. The British casu
alties daily in killed, wounded and
missing are etsimated at 38,000. Casu
alties for all belligerents in killed
wounded and missing since the begin
ning of the war to date are estimated
at approximately 23,000,000 men. Of
these casualties Germany has suffered
slightly more than four million, Eng
land slightly more than two million,
France about three million and a half.
It is estimated that England’s in
terest on her present war debt for one
year is well over $200,000,000. Ger
The Cache Creek Gold may prove to be
one of the Best and biggest Quartz
MINES IN ALASKA.
The property consists of nine quartz claims of 20 acres
each, or 180 acres, located at the head of Nugget Creek, Cache
Creek country, Susitna Mining District, Alaska.
The company owns over one mile of the Mother Lode ledge,
in the camp. This ledge shows in width from MO to 100 feet
and can be easily traced for seven miles, and assays in gold
from a few dollars up, and into the thousands to the ton. Nug
gets are found in the quartz which are worth lmm 2d cents up
to as high as $5.00. The company also owns a mile in length
of another parallel ledge, one-half mile from the Mother Lode
that shows an average width of 30 feet. The rock on this ledge
pans from 20 cents and up, as high as $1.00 or more to the pan.
Some of the rich ore can be seen in the display window ol the
Chamber of Commerce, Anchorage, Alaska.
As soon as the snow is gone, the ground will be thoroughly
prospected by practical mining men to ascertain the amount
of ore tonnage available for a milling plant; also the actual
value of the ore per ton, and the character of the ore treatment
required.
For a short time you may purchase Treasury Shares in the
Cache Creek Gold Mines Company at the ground floor price of
10 cents per share, 10 per cent discount for cash.
You may buy the shares on the installment plan, by paying
10 per cent down and 10 per cent monthly, for nine months.
Five hundred shares is the smallest allotment sold.
This may be your only and last chance to get in and get
some of tin* 10 cent shares, so don’t delay. Send in your order
at once.
YOURS FOR THE ASKING.
If you haven’t the cash to spare just now, write me a letter,
“fating how many shares you wish to subscribe for, and what
time you think you will be in a position to pay for the stock in
full, and the shares will be reserved for you.
Should you wish to purchase the stock on the installment
plan, let me know how many shares you wish and what tine
yon think you will be in a position to make your first payment,
and the stock will be reserved for you.
Don’t delay if you feel like taking a chance with us. About
.Inne 1 1 will leave for Nugget Creek to inspect the mining pro;,
ert v. and will stuy on the ground at least a month.
Orders for Cache Creek Gold Shares should be mailed not
later than May 20, in order to get the shares reserved and book
ed before I leave.
Detailed information appeared in full pages in the Anchor
.me Daily Times from April 1 to April 20.

DEEP, DARK SECRET
IS AT LAST REVEALED
The dark, hidden secret is out; sor
did curiosity has been appeased; the
speculation of the past few days stop
ped and all bets have ben paid. It’s!
going to be yellow, at least the pri
mary coat is yellow, yellow as saffron.
Jimmie, always loyal and following j
the traits and customs of his fore
fathers. insisted on green. He said
there was only one color and that
color was green. This was natural and
to be expected. For example he men
tioned the green eye of envy so con
spicuous in other property owners
whose cornei- lots were unadorned and
could only boast of a concrete bank
building, a general merchandise store,
a hotel or some equally insignificant
building.
Doc, also following traditions and
precepts, stood pat for bright, flaming
red of Vermillion hue, using the argu
ment that red would further incite ad
miration and frenzy and was used
universally on all of the best circus
bill boards. However, Doc did admit
that green was the original color but
the fact that it was used universally
at the first garden party was no espe
cial criterion for as the Doc said,“they
had to wear something.”
This is unquestionably the age of'
arbitration and the little arbitrator,'
who was called in to settle the much j
mooted dispute, immediately and with
out malice of forethought, said yellow ;
—yellow by all means. The arbitrator,!
while he has absolutely no respect for
color schemes, pulled one over on them
for he, too, remembered something of
the early teachings and laws as were
fashioned by the claymore and bag
pipes. He knew that grceen was ta
booed; he further knew that red meant
dissensions between the partners and
his decision was final. The bill board,
at least the primary color, will be yel
low.
SEWARD BASEBALL
STAR. IS. OFFERED
PLACE IN ANCHOR ABE
(Seward (.Jatewav.)
Tom Finnegan came in on the train
last night with a suitcase full of base
ball contracts, offers and propositions,
which he has received from the vari
ous magnates in and around Anchor
age.
It is evident that an attempt is be
ing made to forestall any recurrance
of the sad event of last August, or
else to get the Seward ball club to
represent Anchorage this year.
Either motive would enil toward
the best interests of their town and
the latter, particularly, would assure
the inlet of a winning ball club.
