FAIRBANKS
SETS EXAMPLE
. FOR OTHERS
The interior town of Fairbanks is j
fairly outdoing itself in the way of:
loyalty and patriotism and is setting
an example which is worthy of emula
tion by other Alaska towns, Anchor- j
age included. Over one thousand citi
zens, carrying the American flag,
marched in a recent public demonstra
tion and the citizens of the town have
formed wliit is known as the “Alaska
Loyal Legion,” with a large member
ship.
The league has entered heart and
soul into the movement and the mem
bers are preparing for emergencies by
daily drills. In order to become more
proficient in army maneuvers the
league has sent a flattering offer to
Howard Ralston, a former Fairbanks
boy, who has been commissioned by
the government to take charge of mil
itary organization at Columbia uni
versity. Mr. Ralston is a brother of
Mrs. J. Wilbur Ward of this city, and
attended West Point for two years, re
ceiving his appointment from Delegate
James Wickersham.
Owing to a defect in hearing Mr.
Ralston was forced to give up his
studies and training at West Point and
entered Columbia university last year
as an undergraduate. It was due to
his popularity and military experience
that Mr. Ralston received the commis
sion to drill the students at Columbia.
The eastern colleges, both large and
small, have universally inaugurated
military training and the movement
has been received enthusiastically by
the students, who are being drilled by
experienced officers. In a recent issue
the New York Sun had the following
to say in regard to the military train
ing at Columbia university:
a Drilling Begun at Columbia.
“More than 100 Columbia under
graduates responded to a call for mili
tary training yesterday and in squads
of thirty kept the auxiliary gymna
sium in University hall crowded as
they drilled. H. W. Ralston, a former
West Point student, now an under
graduate in the college, drilled the
squads and was as hoarse as the pro
verbial frog when nightfall put an end
to his labors.
“Simultaneously with the begin
ning of the'drills announcement was
made that there would be a mass meet
ing of all undergraduates at noon to
morrow, at which speeches will be
made by Jeff Mealy, captain of the
1916 football team; Bob O’Loughlin,
captain of the varsity crew, and James
Jluane Livingston, an alumni trustee.
At this meeting the students will be
asked to enlist in one of live training
corps which are to be organized. These
are engineering, aeronautic, officers of
the line, naval and Red Cross.
Holds Military Drill.
“Realization of the plan to train the
Columbia university baseball team in
infantry drill came yesterday after
noon in the gymnasium. Coach Andy
Coakley suspended the capers of
throwing and batting the spheres in
the cage for half an hour while a
squad of about twenty-five was piloted
to the drill floor in the smaller gym
nasium, where H. W. Ralston, 18, a
former West Point cadet, put the play
ers through the rudiments of infantry
drill executions. The position of a sol
dier, the facings, simple march forma
tions, and the salute formed the first
day’s program, and as the players be
come more proficient squad and pla
toon executions will be taught. Coach
Coakley, the former Athletics twriler,
was enthusiastic over the plan and
took part himself in the drills.”
MEMBERS OF MOOSE
ORGANIZE A BAND
Jimmie Cort advises The Times that
the members of the .Moose lodge have
organized a band of 16 pieces, which
is gradually getting into shape to
make its initial appearance. Mr. Cort
will appear before the Chamber of
Commerce next Tuesday night and ask
support of the organization, which
will no doubt be given as a well or
ganized brass band is an essential re
quisite to a progressive city.
Ill IF
(Juneau Dispatch)
Judge John B. Marshall, formerly
United States commisisoner, and
Father A. P. Kashevaroff, the priest
of the Russian church at Juneau, have
written a historical romance founded
on the Russian occupation of Alaska
and its taking over by the United
States and arrangements have now
been made with a great film company
to produce it.
This company’s representatives,
players, etc., will arrive here within
three weeks en route to Sitka, the old
! capital where many of the scenes of
the romance have been laid, to begin
the work. The scenario has already
probably been written and the way is
clear.
The story tells of the arrival of
Baranoff, the Russian governor, of
fighting with the Indians, in most ro
mantic surroundings, the love of Bar
anoff for the daughter of the Indian
■hief, his marriage to her, the arrival
of Governor Razanoff and his trip
,o California, his romance with the
daughter of the Spanish governor,
the coming of the Americans to Alas
ka, the raising of the Starry Banner,
the rivalry of two young American
officers for the hand of the beautiful
and aristocratic Russian girl, their
resulting duel and the death of the
one chosen by the girl, the final trag
edy of her life and many other ab
sorbingly interesting incidents.

BEING HEED
HP IN SENATE
_ •
(Juneau Dispatch)
All federal appointments, which in
clude J. M. Tanner for marshal and
Robert W. Jennings, for federal judge
are held up in the senate. The ap
pointment of Tanner is held up by a
protest from the prohibition people of
the territory but will probably be ad
justed very shortly. All the other
reappointments and new appoint
ments will be gone over with a fine
comb before being affirmed by the
senate.
As a result of the Tanner delayed
confirmation telegrams have been
forwarded from Juneau and elsewhere
urging his confirmation. The follow
ing telegraphic correspondence be
tween Marshal Tanner and Rev. Pe
derson, of Skagway, gives the newly
appointed marshal’s opinion of the
enforcement of prohibition laws,
which was the cause of the protest
against his confirmation by the in
hibition people of the territory.
The telegram from Rev. Pederson
to Mr. Tanner was as follows:
“Present appointment frankly caus
es much concern among dry voters.
Christian fairness to you and Golden
Rule suggests you be given opportun
ity to declare your attitude toward
enforcement of present liquor laws,
and those effective next January, as
well as kind of men contemplated for
l appointments. Sixty-two per cent dry
j vote in all Alaska is expression not to
! be ignored. Am acting independent
of any group or organization and ask
i permission to use your reply as I see
|
: fit. Specific reply by Monday evening
: appreciated. L. H. PEDERSON.”
The Reply of Tanner.
“Replying to your wire will state:
My attitude in regard to enforcement
i of present liquor laws and those to
■ become effective later is as follows:
“All liquor laws and all other laws
will be enforced to the best of my
ability. My deputies will be appoint
ed from men who will see that all
laws are enforced. No deputy will be
retained in office who does not bend
his best efforts for the enforcement ol'
all laws. As senator 1 voted to bring
it before the people; they decided by
their ballots in no uncertain terms
against the liquor traffic. The law
or laws bearing upon this matter will
be enforced by men and deputies. The
i people of Skagway did not deem it
dangerous to give me 208 votes to
represent them in the senate last fall
as against 02 for my opponent, and
168 dry votes. I have received many
telegrams of congratulations through
out the division from all parties. I
have been endorsed in strong testimo
nials from two bishops, ministers and
some of the strongest temperance per
sons in the district. By the judge,
district attorney, city councils of three
towns, bar association, members of
the supreme court, members of the
legislature and leading citizens. I
see no reason why any person from
my own town should think I would be
unfaithful to my trust.
“J. M. TANNER.”
