WE SHOULD HELP THEM.
—
The residents of Kenai, an important point located at the
mouth of the Kenai river, which empties into Cook inlet, wish J
t he aid of Anchorage, in an effort to secure at least a weekly
mail service between these two points. Under the conditions |
now maintaining, the people of this important community have
no regular outside mail service, during the summer season, and
depend wholly for such service as they get upon the cannery
boats that call there, at infrequent intervals. \\ liile the fishing
season is at its height, Kenai is a prosperous community, with
a population of not less than one thousand souls, in the village
and in the near vicinity. One hundred and tort)-two children
attend the school there.
, Here is a matter that calls for the immediate attention of
our local Chamber of Commerce, as well as citizens generally
who may be able to assist in bringing about this desired result.
As a business proposition for Anchorage, a weekly mail service
between this point and Kenai, and possibly other Cook inlet
points en route, would prove a highly profitable thing. It
would bring not only people here, but it would stimulate trade.
If the residents of Kenai knew they could visit the metropolis
for a few days and return to their homes at their pleasure, we
doubt not that many would come throughout the season. As it
i- now, we get little of this desirable trade, simply for the lack
of a regular boat on the run.
It is to the distinct gain and advantage of Anchorage to
have power boats plying between this point and all settlements
on ('ook inlet. It keeps these places in constant touch with ns,
and we gain much business as a result.
But aside from the gain to Anchorage, the residents of
Kenai are to be considered. It would appear that a thousand
people residing at a given point are entitled to receive their
o-»t*ide mail at least once a week, instead of having to depend
upon die whim or caprice of the cannery boat men, who now,
very courtesously and kindly, transport the mail free of all
charge from Seldovia to Kenai.
Let us aid Kenai in this matter, for in aiding her, we aid
ourselves.
INSTRUCTIONS TO U. S. MARSHALS.
The war situation is brought home to us here in Anchorage
by the receipt of instructions by the United States marshal of
this division, who is attending the court term in this place, com*
ing from the attorney-general of the United States. These in
structions relate to the carrying of firearms of any kind of na
ture whatsoever by any alien enemy who may he in this com
munity. or in this vicinity. An alien enemy, under the purview
of these instructions, is one who is a subject of any country that
is at war with the United States.
These instructions, or rather, regulations, must be invoked
by the United States marshal and liis subordinates, and are as
follows:
No. 1 An alien enemy shall not have in his possession at any
time or place any firearms, weapons or implements of war. or
component parts thereof, ammunition, Maxime or other si
lencer, arms or explosives or material used in the manufacture
of explosives.
No. 2 An alien enemy shall not have in his possession at
any time or place or use or operate any aircraft or wireless!
apparatus or any form of signaling device or any form of
cipher code or any paper, document or hook, written or printed, \
in cipher, or in which there may he invisible writing.
All alien enemies having firearms, etc., as above set forth,
should deliver same to the United States marshal’s office at j
once.
As is well known, there is a cosmopolitan population i&
this community, many of whom undoubtedly come under the
head of alien enemies. So far as we have been able to ascer-!
tain, however, they have conducted themselves in an exemplary
manner, and have participated in no demonstration as against
this country. This fact, however, does ,not make them immune
from the enforcement of the regulations, frhich apply to all
that come under this head.
