Commercial Club banquet.

According to the Durant Democrat
abou forty members of the CONNER
cial organization Of that city met a,
a hotel in that little city on FRIDAY
eve and held a regular Old fashioned
love feast. In addition to an abnnd'
ance of oysters and other good things
to eat, the meeting was well pro
vided with speeches and good resc

towns welfare. Perhaps banquet

of the members OF the Ardmore Com

of their interest seems 10 be in cold

REBELS CANNOT
 SOLVE PROBLEM

Washington, Nov. 4.-President Wilson has abandoned the hope of being able to use the Mexican rebels in any scheme looking to the restor- ation of peace and order in that tur- bulent country. He is not inclined to place faith in the assertions of General Carranza that he will settle the rebellion if America will permit the free passage of arms and ammu- nition across the border.
 It is understood European nations which have large investments in Mexico are pressing for intervention or some other means of restoring peace in order that the capital which is lying idle there may become rev enue producing. The announcement that the Mexican elections were a farce is generally accepted as what was to be expected, under the cir cums stances. The German and Eng fish governments have expressed their complete confidence that Presi- dent Wilson will solve the question in the near future but the capital ists whose money is lying idle are growing restless under the delay.

Define has lived in Val dez for the past eight years, coming here with Colonel Swanitz as his pri- vate secretary when the Valdez X Yu- kon railroad was first started. Later he was appointed a guard by Mar shal Love and became office deputy under Marshal Sullivan when he took the oath of office more than four years ago. So we'll has he done his work that upon the recommendation of the attorneys and business men of Valdez Marshal Brenneman offer ed him the same position with the new administration, but the call of the states was strong and the next boat takes him from Alaska. MT. De- Line leaves a large circle of friends who have learned to respect and ad- mire him because of his pleasant manners and his competent, efficient work in the marshal's office.

SEATTLE HAssirs GOOD POINTS.

Whatever may be said about Seat tie for it's deep-rooted propensity for anything Alaskan; however impudent we may think it for trying to Ian. mex" our northland and all things ap- pertaining thereto, the fact still re- mains-and we may as well admit 1t that there are a good many big hearted and generous men in" the Spirit City who would not permit Alaskans to suffer without offering help.
 Let us take the Nome case, for in stance, when the news of disaster was flashed over the wire, sympathet- ic Seattle arose and extended help ing hand just as mother would to her fallen baby, and the result was that Nome people received assistance which no doubt they sadly needed. How many did likewise?" '''' '',
 Of course, Seattle being the gate way of the north, it receives the most benefit from Alaska, consequently it behooves her to help, yet, being in different to our needs would not re- move her geographically and it would still be the gateway through which we have to pass on our way out. Mani festly, it is a case where for some reason or other it is imperative that we should be friendly to Seattle, at the same time it would be a wise thing for us, never to forget for one moment to keep our hands in our pockets as we pass through, for sure as fate, whatever it has given us will find it's way back into the hands of the Seattleites. The chances are that it will anyway.-Petersburg Pro- Favorable
