great United States have such a
limited knowledge of the funda*
mental principles of law and its
effect on all people.
“The complainant and his as
sociates should first take their
complaint to the city council and
if they get no results, they should
tafce their complaint to the U. S
Commissioner and if a warrant
of arrest is issued the Federal
Government takes over.
“The people of each commun
ity have allowed such conditions
to get started and exist until
they as individual get hurt; and
they are the only ones who can
stop it; no local or Ter'itorial or
Federal official can stop it with
out the will and backing of the
people.
“A recent brief history of the
town of Kodiak reveals that it is
practically under the good will of
the Army and'Navy; if this is
true and the business men of
Kodiak desire the trade they
should eliminate prostitutes en
tirely and keep them out.
“Prostitution and liquor is a
vicious des'royer of man hours
A permanent community cannot
be established in this kind of

“I herewith submit proof of
the above statements:—
“The location of the city of
Anchorage has many natural ad
vantages that is lacking in many
of the towns of Alaska; it has an
excellent site for building pur
poses, the town is crowded to full
capacity with families and men
and women without families. I
pa'd an Anchorage hotel $7 per
day straight for over 4 months
for a small front room not too
well furnished and what there
was was well worn; this condi
tion has existed even before the
war to some extent. Money has
flowed in the city like water; the
p ice of an article was not con

Ride red and you were glad to get j
anything as a substitute.
“What has Anchorage got to
show for the vast wealth that har
been left here?
“A lot of old shacks dolled up
with a fancy front, one street 9
blocks long, not sufficient electric
current to supply the needs, no
sufficient water at times, and at
times of very poor quality, not
suffic’ent sewerage to supply the
demand, not sufficient schools, no
rec'eation for hundreds of men
who have no place to go except
to the hotel room, and a cocktail
bar.
P'enty of churches; plenty of
good moral, honest, industrious
men and women too busy to do
anything but mind their pwn
business; this is a fine trait but
not always good business for the
future, if you are going to be left
nothing but a headache.
“I have probably said too
much, but it is not one half of it.
Some who read this are not going
to like it but you can take it for
what it is worth.”

Beware Coughs
from common colds "
That Hang On
Chronic bronchitis may develop if
your cough, chest cold, or acute bron
chitis is not treated and you cannot
afford to take a chance with any medi
cine less potent than Creomulsion
which goes right to the seat of the
trouble to help loosen and expel germ
laden phlegm and aid nature to
soothe and heal raw, tender, inflamed
bronchial mucous membranes.
Creomulsion blends beechwood
creosote by special process with other
time tested medicines for coughs.
It contains no narcotics.
No matter how many medicines
you have tried, tell your druggist fo
sell you a bottle of Creomulsion with
the understanding you must like the
way it quickly allays the cough, per
mitting rest and sleep, or you are to
have your money back. (Adv.)
