O0N0H0E FOR
 SCHOOL DIRECTOR
Large Property Owner in Cordova Says Would Serve Valdez Faith
 fully and We'll.

! T. J. Donohoe has thrown his hat 1 in the ring and will be a candidate l for the position of school director, to be voted upon at the coming election | The announcement caused consider able surprise among the politicians of the town. Some claimed that he would could come within striking distance of him when the polls are closed and the votes counted.
 Friends of MT. Donohoe assert that the old Keystone Canyon fight is a thing of the past and that no one would vote against him because he
 was the attorney for thd frailroad company when Hasey was hired and armed with rifles and later wounded five workmen. They also claim that the vote last year when the Frame bunch voted him down in the Valdez Democratic club by vote of 177 to 12 was not a fair test of his strength and that all the old fights which have kept him from enjoying political of fee are things of the past and that .he will have walk away. as he is the only man really qualified for the tposition.
 Some enemies, however. claim that Donohoe is a Cordova booster and that he has larger interests in the railroad town than in Valdez. They also point out the fact that every time boom has struck this city MT. Don oboe has had new townsite to pro pose at Hazeletville, which was menace to Valdez during the construc- tion of the Helm road and two years ago. when mining operations were on the boom he revived the Hazelet- vile project.

The work of preparing tickets for the coming municipal election started last night when F. M. Boyle and a number of his friends prepared the following ticket:
 E.. E. Ritchie, Harry E. F. King, Charles Day, J. c. Martin, Andy Dier- finger and c. c. Rudolph. It is expect ed that the ticket will stand as nam ed and that no changes will be made. Councilman White. who was ad- verse to running again, has declared that he will enter the race and that his hat is in the ring. His friends say that he has been the watch dog of the treasury" and that the con- servative element will vote for him. His opponents say they will beat him. With White will run Ferguson, Mar tin, Patterson and Lyons and two oth- CTS not yet named
 John Frame and his followers will have full ticket in the field, and the Socialists will have a full city ticket, intending to stand by their colors and count noses
 Other tickets will be made up in. a few days and trades and dicker- ing will be entered into.
 Ed. Wood may be induced to run, as he has many friends who desire that he return to the council.
 Councilman Ethical has declared that he is out of it and will not, un- der any circumstances, seek a re- election, as his business will keep him busy this coming summer
 The fight for councilmen will be watched with interest. The new vote for the Reservation section is an un- known quantity, and the addition thereto of the votes of the ladies makes it difficult to forecast the re suit

HOW TO RAISE MORE REVENUE
Hope It Will Not Be Necessary to
Pass New Import Duties,

7, washington. - Administration Off
Gals are hopeful that congress need
not be asked to pass new import du-
ties on internal taxes to offset the
falling off in customs expected from
the european war. 1t was pointed
out that the treasury is in excellent
condition and could run probably two
months on the funds it now has with
out collecting another cent.
If Z contingency arises, the govern
ment might augment it's revenue in
several ways. One would be through
an issue of Panama Canal bonds, of
which about $24O,0OO,OO0 remain au-
tnor1zed but unissued To increase in
ternal revenue the administration
might extend the income tax to
smaller incomes than are touched at
present and possibly increase the nor
NAL and sub-ta1 rates.
Another expedient would be to ask
Congress ito pass revenue measure
such as provided funds for tie
Spanish-American war through
stamp tax on commercial and other
transactions and an increased tax on
beer and liquor.

~ London.-Great Britain has mobil.

She is not belligerent power nor is
p she neutral one. s
The government has given France
assurance that the British fleet will
not permit the German fleet to at
tack the French coast. 1t has not yet
pledged itself to contribute an army
to the Continental war.
The British government regards
with the deepest distrust Germany's
violation OF, Belgium's neutrality, but
makes no declaration as to where it
considers that measure provocation
for war
This announcement of government
policy-the result of two days of al
most continuous deliberations-was
made to the house of commons late
today by Sir Edward Grey, secretary
of state for foreign affairs. There
fore the trying hour of suspense for
the British people is prolonged in
definitely. .-.-.- . .....
Meanwhile the German embassy in
London is exerting every effort of
diplomacy to induce Great Britain to
hold aloof from the conflict and to
bring public opinion to Germany'c
side. The counselor of the German
embassy issued strong appeal for
the neutrality of Great Britain assert
ing that Germany would agree to
keep her feet from attacking the
northern and western coasts of
France, if England would pledge neu-
trality; and argued that England
would gain more in the end by stand
ing outside the European war and |
using her influence as mediator when
the moment was ripe Referring to
this suggestion the British foreign
secretary said:
Il had only heard that shortly be-
fore came to the house." He raised
his voice and raped the table before
sharply declaring: "But that is far
too narrow an engagement"
Sir Edward Grey dispelled the
shadows of doubt which flickered over
the Triple Entente in the midst of
many Liberals by exposing some mile
stones in the history of the reap
revealing it as essential
