New Citizens Must
 Get Certificates

The clerk of the court reports that many of those who have passed the naturalization examination and become citizens of the United States have overlooked one formali- ty. in that they failed to secure their final certificates from his of fee. These certificates are abso- lutely essential to the new citizen if he wishes to exercise his rights as such.
 Numerous declarations of inten- tion to become citizens of the Unit ed States have recently been filed in the clerks office. Most of them are of natives of the Balkan states, who decided to renounce their al legiance to their former home af- ter the Bulgarian and Roumanian government had called their reserves home Most of the cases, however, are of men who have resided in the United States for long period of time.

 Finished for Year

w. H. Thorne. head of the parties engaged in surveying the coal de posits in the Nenana coal fields during the past summer, arrived in Fairbanks during the early part of the past week from the lower river, and departed for the Outside the next day after arriving here He reports that about 900 square miles of coal were surveyed and that the work is but commenced as yet as the coal deposits are very extensive.
 It is expected that the coal sur vey will be continued during the coming summer season. In the meantime MT. Thorne and his assist ants will make their reports and it is probable that the coal land al, ready surveyed will then be thrown open to leasing.

 In places. according to the return ed surveyors. the coal is burning, although very little damage is be- ing done for the reason that there is no draft. The flames sometimes reach small gas pockets which ex, plode blowing holes in the lodges

NATIONAL DISASTER.

T want to speak to you a little while about the terrible disasters which will follow Prohibition.
 Think of the fine madhouse. made empty. Have we the right to stop going crazy if it will throw asylum guards out of work? Think of the employees of our beautiful penitentarieS. Shall we strika down S5 per cent of their prosperi- ty Shall we cast upon the scrap heap the divorce lawyers of our land, the bone and sinew of oul country?
 And there is the corkscrew in dustry. It has not the pull it used to have. Untold fortunes invested Il it's manufacture are gone.
 Take the steel industry. Ma tional Prohibition will affect the manufacture of padlocks, jimmies, balls and chains, handcuffs and prison bars. Millions will be thrown out of work
 And this does not include the mil lions of skilled workmen now en- gagged in the manufacture of brass knuckles. Gamblers will be reduced not only to want-but to work
 fhItcl dll, cal llt AlllellCdIl home survive the ravages of sobriety? Can any nation hope to lead the march of human progress if we limit the output of locomotor ataxia?
 The constitution provides the right of trial by jury How are we going to enjoy this right if We remove the incentive to crime? The constitution also guarantees the right of habeas corpus. How are we going 10 exercise this if people stop going to jail?
 But, in spite of all this disaster I'm for national Prohibition. Pm for it because no honest govern ment can steal babies shoes and call it revenue. Pm for it because no civilized nation can run toll gate on the road to hell I'm for it because l want a national defense that can defy the world if necessary
 I'm for it because it's more in the scope of the republics business to protect little children at home than to protect big business abroad I'm for it because it's the nation S wrong and the nation alone can right it."
