Foot Your Own Horn.
Dear Mr.. Editor:


 In. order to get the most nri>" puss iblr from d horn it is usually advisable for a person ir blow his own ani not wait for some one els" to do it for him..
 IrIaintcd that thr urgHnizHlaiun of the Odd Fellows was d boon to Valdez and one of he best things that has happened to he town. and to illustrate it will say that We have sent out nearly TOO copies of the Sunday Miner witt the nice article concerning the or der, to five Alaska newspapers |seVen prominent Odd Fellows, I5 Hodges from which the charter members transferred, 10 odd Eel low publications in 3S states. and nine Odd Fellow publications in seven foreign countries, for the ipurpoSe of announcing our exist encr and that they may know We are established and ready to re- spOnd to their calls. These pa pers were sent in place of d cir cular letter, as they would an- sWer our purpose and advertise the town and all merchants at the same time.
 There is absolutely no question but that every one of the Odd Eel low papers will not only copy a portion of the article. but will give Valdez a nice boost on hav- ing a lodge with such fine out : fit and real live members. On the other hand, what is the use of owning so fine an outfit anC having such rustling list o1 members and keeping the fact hit in locker. We can not display everything to the public but Vt will display the fact that we are fhere for the good of Valdez. as wei! as our members.

Dr. von Schra,lcr. who went with the Donaldson from LiScum 1 to Golden, rendered such aid as was possible as soon as he ar rived and he. with the hospital stewards, cared for the injured men from 8 o'clock Saturday morning until yesterday morning, when they were brought to Val deZ.
 The accident happened last Wednesday, when the boys found a box of percussion caps used by miners to explode dynamite, and they claim they were burying them, as they knew it was dan gerous to handle the caps. How ever, they threw rocks at the can to see what would happen and the box exploded, sending parts of the caps, can and rocks in every direction.
 From Wednesday morning un- til Saturday morning they were without attention and upon the arrival of Dr. VOn Schrader he found that all were injured, and it was found necessary to ampu- tate one hand of one, whereas, had they arrived few days .soon- or the hand and several fingers might have been saved.
 The Donaldson left here Friday evening and arrived at Ellamar at o'clock that evening, where they were taken in charge by Su-' !perintendent Middlecamp, who provided food fer the men on the boat, as they had left hurriedly and had taken no provisions, believing they were to go only to Ellamar, and he also provided coal and supplies for the boat and l blankets for the men and at , in'clock next morning they left for GDld"I.. arriving at the Indian village at < o'clock, after a delay !of tw" hours trying to locate the r zee. Cal [ Bett.es was |. hay, acrni.ipa':led the DOnaldsn as i piI"l. but did not arrive at iIr. boat in time.
 The first news of the disaster was received by Col. O'Neil W!:"n Supt. Middlecamp sent a wireless from the Yukon to Cordova and thence by cable to Valdez. Cul. O'Neil immediately ordered he Donaldson in readiness and With Lieut.. Kunzig and Dr. von Schra- der and five hospital stewards, left for Ellamar, thinking il was al the latter place that the accident had happened, but found that d native from knicklik had cross ed the rOuth water in a dydarki in order to secure aid
 All the natives are without clothes and an appeal has been issued for clothing for the boys, three of whom are about l2 years old. while the other two are young men. They haN" no clothing whatever.

Quite vigorous discussion has

has bitterly opposed the Governor

the late gubernatorial campaign or
down to the present, has been severe
in its criticisms of the Governor for
his alleged connection with the land
transaction. Hence the suit IS not q
surprise.
Few Il any OF the papers have en-

whereby the State is to receive

it brought against the private land
