fiARMONY THEATRE.
The Presbyterian church was filled
last night and the meeting was very
enthusiastic. The earnest efforts of
; the speakers did much to further help
; the growing cause of prohibition, that
! is slowly but surely sweeping the
country. If the expressions of last
night’s prohibition meeting can be
taken as a criterion Anchorage will
certainly vote—DRY. When the facts
are tol-.l there is really no valid rea
son for voting otherwise and as Dr.
J. L. McBride truthfuly said, the
man who votes against prohibition
will do so from the standpoint of
selfishness and sordid business rea
sons.
The music by the quintette and the
solo rendered by Prof. Sheets were
especially well received.
Dr. McBride talked on the all-im
portant question of prohibition and
was followed by Attorney Duggan,
Dr. J. T. Westermann, Judge J. L.
Waller and Dr. C. C. Benedict. ■
These gentlemen are all represen
tative business men of Anchorage
who have made a success of their re
spective vocations and in giving then
views in favor of prohibition did do so
from the standpoint of business, phys
ical and moral experience.
Strenuous efforts will be made to
poll a big vote for prohibition to
morrow and Anchorage unquestiona
bly will return a majority in the dry
column.
It is up to every voter in this city
to help this worthy cause and down
whiskey and the sale of intoxicating
liquors that have been the ruination
__nf more Immos and liras than gfmn-frp
or pestilence. Vote DRY at tomor
Just Fay—one of the girls branded
with a scarlet letter and living below
the line of decency and beyond the
pale of society. To Fay and her God
alone belong the unwritten history of
her life that was saved early yester
day morning through the efforts and
knowledge of Dr. K. A. Kyvig. Prob
ably discouraged with life and its fu
ture dark, unfavorable outlook, Fay
took sulphuric acid in the effort to end
it all. Two habitues of the place were
present at the time and knocked the
bottle from her hands and immedi
ately summoned' Dr. Kyvig. Her face
and mouth were badly burned, but she
is out of danger and at the present
time is receiving professional services
and on the road to recovery, when she
will again take up the life of shame
and iniquity. Another reason to vote
DRY tomorrow and perhaps save an
erring girl’s life.

(Seward Post.)
Plans now being completed for nexi
year’s work on the government rail
road call for the completion of 287 ol
the 420 miles of the Seward-Fairbank.'
railroad by the close of 1917. This
will leave only 133 miles of line to b(
finished before the season of 1919
which is the date fixed by Chairmar
Edes for the start of through traffic
Including the Alaska Northern 137
miles of road will be in operation al
the close of this season and 150 miles
are to be built next year, which wil
complete the line to Broad Pass.
Chairman Edes of 'the Alaskan En
gineering Commission will leave Sew
ard for Washington on the return trip
of the Admiral Watson, taking with
him records and data necessary foi
his report to the department of the
interior on the work accomplished foi
this year.
In discussing the work the chairman
stated that while a large mileage of
grade had been built and right-of-way
cleared this season the actual num
ber of miles of track laid is not near
as great as will be laid in 1917.
“Only 20 miles of track were laid
the first year as we ‘had a late start,”
said the chairman. ‘!By December 1
of this year 66 miles of new steel will
be laid, which includes work done be
tween Anchorage and Turnagain Arm,
work on the main line and the line
to the coal fields.
“Extensive clearing has been done
north along the main line both ways
from Talkeetna and south from Ne
nana, along all of which track will be
laid next year. Our plans for 1917
provide for the laying of about 150
miles of stepl during the coming sea
son.
“Of this track 100 miles will be
the main line north from Matanuska
Junction beyond the track now laid,
and the- rest will be' along Turnagain
Arm and south from Nenana.”
Chairman Edes expects to return
north much earlier next season than
was possible this year owing to the
delay by congress in acting on bills.
The coming congress ends in March
and more rapid action is expected on
all bills.
It is probable that Seward will see
little of the chairman next year as all
of the construction work will be in
the interior except that along Turn
again Arm and his duties will keep
him somewhere near the “front,” that
ever moving section on a new railroad
where the questions to be decided are
most numerous.
Considerable of the funds for this
year’s work on the railroad are tied
up in supplies and construction ma
teiral which will be used during the
winter or early next spring.
The report now being drawn up by
the commission will show clearly just
how much of the money received so
far has gone into equipment which
will be used in building the entire
line, and how much has been used in
clearing, grading and trUck work al
ready accomplished.
All of the money expended in the !
town of Anchorage for municipal im
provements is to be collected from the
property owners by assessments cov
ering not only street improvements,
but the cost of the water plant. When
the government gives deeds to the lots
at the expiration of five years and
turns the municipal control over to a
council the' city will then own its wat
er plant.

THE PENALTY
From Plainvew (Tex.) comes the
j account of one of the most shocking
j tragedies of the year. This is the
I story as the Motley County (Tex.)
News tells it:
j Four young men of this city are
dead, one is dying and six others are
in a serious condition as a result of
drinking hair tonic in lieu of whiskey.
■ For several days booze has been
circulated freely among the ‘ round
! ers” in Plainview. The other morn
! ing, as oftentimes happens in prohi
1 bition towns, one of the temporary
droughts struck Plainview.
No Liquor In Sight,
j Seventeen young men who had been
j “tearing" up, found themselves with
out an “eye opener.” Nerves were
shattered, heads were aching and re
lief from the burning craving was be
ing sought by all. One of the dead
men was a barber. The thirsty ones
congregate at his shop. The sugges
tion was made that a certain hair ton
ic which was labeled “60 per cent al
-eohol" be tried ar. n substitute.
“I know that stuff has got a ‘kick’
to it if it has that much alcohol in
it,” remarked the barber.
“It might be poison," remarked an
other.
“Shucks!” was the reply, “I know
dead oodles of fellows that have
drunk lemon extract, bay rum, hair
tonic and'everything else that had al
cohol in it, and it never hurt them.
Here goes for me.”
The stuff Avai’ dTlutga^'trriftt^i
water by the speaker and swallowed.
Ir. a few minutes his nerves became
steady. The rest of the boys followed
suit, and their nerves became steady,
also. In the course of an hour they
were in a stupor. They were convey
ed to their homes and boarding hou
ses and soon every physician in the
city had his hands full.
Four Pay the Penalty.
All that medical science could do
was done, but before morning Tom
Ernest, Paul Wallen, Joe Dingle and
“Mud” Brock had paid the penalty.
At this hour Noah Stallings is re
ported dying and six other young men
are in a serious condition, with chan
ces for a recovery.
Joe Dingle, who was about 40
years of age, was the only middle
aged man among the unfortunate*.
The rest were, young men, and a!
though inclined to be somewha: wild
most of them telonged to pvorrrnent
families of the city.

VOTE “DRY” TOMORROW.
They bob around on this troubled
sea of life like the flotsam and jet
sam of the ocean and are driven to
many ports in many lands.
But life’s human derelicts do not
all go to the south sea islands or to
the warm southern climes to become
combers of the beach and humanity,
as Davis and other famous writers in
sinuate; a few of the. asses drift into
this frozen ncrthland ever a detri
ment to themselves and no particular
help to the community. Still in the
game these same unfortunates may
have a place in life’s calendar and
many a new day’s sun sees them dis
couraged, disappointed and disheart
ened with only the knowledge that
day cannot last forever and perhaps
blessed sleep will soothe the wretched
conscience and close the leaden day
when “nothing has been done.”
To them memory and the retros
pection of life is sweet and too it
sometimes burns like white hot iron.
Memory is really one of God’s great
est blessings and in the unwinding of
Life’s skein perhaps these derelicts
can see some former picture of a
beautiful home filled with loved ones
and flowers and music where every
thing is in common accord and har
mony. Perhaps, too, with the new
born day there also comes the deter
mination and the promise that “I
can and I will.” Vote Dry tomorrow.
