THE COMMERCIAL CLUB.

Few people in Fairbanks realize the importance of the functions Of the Fairbanks Commercial club, or the magnitude of the work laid out for such an organization to acComp- lish. If they did, more interest would be taken in the work but at the present time all of the i'm provements of the city and sur rounding country. from a commer- cial standpoint. devolve on a few of the most enterprising spirits constituting the executive board of the club
 The Commercial club needs the sup port of every business man in the city. The men who are elected each year to manage it's affairs are perfectly willing to do so. but at the same time they would like the support of their constituents.
 Owing to the fact that a quorum of the members of the club was not tEtHlnaDIe, the last TWO meetings of the organization were declared off. The result is that a Get Toge- ther" meeting is to be held in the near future, the exact date to be an nounced during the present week, The meeting should be well attend ed, for the reason that number of matters of importance to every business man in the city are to be discussed. among which will be the struction work on the Alaska railroad

TWO GREAT ERICANS.

TO maintain peace in the future it is necessary to be prepared for war
 We should have a good navy and in the finest possible condition. Nei ther of these costs much when it Is considered where the money goes and what We get in return. Money expended in d fine navy not only adds to our security and tends to pre- vent war in the future, but is a with foreign nations in the mean. time, Money spent upon seacoa st defences is spent among our own people and all goes back again among the people.

 The best guarantee against az eression, the best assurance that our diplomacy will be successful and pacific, and that our rights and honor will be respected by other nations is in their knowledge that We are in a situation to vindicate our reputation and interests.

WHY THEY DO IT.

The American protest against en- forcement of the British Orders in Council as being destructive of our commerce with certain neutral na- tions in Europe has called forth a reply in two sections from the British government.
 The latter's notes deal with the question of whether, in order to cut off all overseas trade with Ger many, Britain has a right, under international law, to prevent i'm goods which may afterward be ship ped to Germany. Britain has es- tablished a virtual (though not a proclaimed) long-distance blockade O the ports of Germany, Holland, Den mark and Norway on the North Sea, and of Sweden on the Arctic, but has not as yet blockaded the Baltic coast of the German Empire nor the coast of the neutral lands abutting on the Baltic. Sweden Nor- way and Denmark may trade freely with Germany on the Baltic side and so may Holland on the landward side. In order to keep commodi ties from the United States, espe- cially munitions of war, from reach ing Germany through the four neu- tral countries named, Britain has seized and held for prize court dis posal numerous vessels from the United States, not only those laden with contraband, but also those bearing cotton, provisions, etc. Though the cargoes were billed to neutral ports, Britain claims that their ultimate destination was Ger many. In corroboration of this, she quotes, statistics showing that i'm ports Into these neutral nations in creased amazingly above the normal after the outbreak of the war, the inference being that Germany was -or"-'-" the surplus. The United States, however. contends that there Is no proof that the detained car goes were bound for Germany In Justification of her course, Great Britain points to a decision of the

As Ye Sow"
 Next Sunday

One of the strongest bills ever presented at Thorne's popular pie ture theatre will be the feature play As Ye Sow" in five acts by Wm A. Brady, starring Miss Alice Brady next Sunday and Monday. The following brief synopsis will give an idea of some of the big scenes to be expected:
 Mrs St. John lives with her two sons, Frank and John, and he, daughter, Dolly, in a small town or the Cape Cod coast John has been studying for the ministry and is appointed to take a place in th9 little church. Frank, the black sheep of the family, goes to New York to seek his fortune.
 In New York, he gets a good po- sition in the sales office of an auto, mobile company Dora Mason-pet- ted daughter of a New York mii lionaire, persuades her father to buy her new automobile. They go to the sales rooms where Frank is working. She is attracted to Frank immediately. When the sale is completed, she tells her father that she needs a chauffeur. Frank applies for the job and is accepted by MT Mason. In the meantime Frank has become mixed up with a crowd of very fast young men and changes his name.
 Frank persuades Dora to run away and get married. The night that Dora leaves, her father dies of heart disease. Frank takes to drink and becomes very abusive. A little baby girl is born and Dora is wrapped up in her love for the baby. Frank becomes jealous and devotes more of his time to his fast friends. Dora asserts herself and says that unless he reforms, he need not come back. In a drunken rage he threatens to kill her and the child.

Warm Session of
 City Council Held

The meeting of the city council was short one, hut it was also a warm one, in every respect. \ number of routine matters were up tor discussion. such as reports of committees, reading of bills and communications, etc, while several otaer matters were also talked over.
 X communication from the Woman's Civic club Of Fairbanks, read at the council meeting. showed that the organization is unanimously il. favor of keeping the present curfew ordinance in force. A communica- tion had previously been received by the council, asking that the ordi, nance be changed, but the matter was referred to the Civic club. as that body was instrumental in hay ing the ordinance drawn up. The letter of the Civic club was placed on file and nothing more was done in the matter, indicating that the ordinance will remain as it is.
 A report of the health committee showed that a supply of antitoxin had been ordered in case of a diph- theria epidemic. The health com mittee also reported that Judge Bun, nell has agreed 10 relieve the city of the support of an indigent per son now in St. Joseph's hospital. Mayor Nerland also stated that the Sister Superior at the hospital had agreed to reduce the care of the said patient from $105 per month to SS0 per month.
 All of the bills were ordered paid as read, with the exception of that Of Mrs. Frank Brido, which was for $l2 damages to goods in her store during the Columbia hotel fire. The bill was not paid for the reason that it was not shown that the damages sustained were the fault of the firemen.
 Lavery X Bailey secured the monthly bid for fire department supplies for $145. A man who was fined $3 for the impounding of his horse, was ordered reimbursed, as it was shown that the horse was wandering in the streets without the knowledge of its owner
 The matter of giving more money to the school board resulted in a decision not to allow more funds unless majority of the members of the board were present when pointed out that such decision is necessary by reason of the fact that only one member of the school board is in town at the present time, and that the other member who is now in the territory J. F. Moody, refuses to resign, even though he is not here to attend to busi ness. The matter was put as a motion, all of the members voting for it, with the exception of Gala han, who opposed it.
 The climax of the evening came when Councilman Callahan and Chief Buckley, of the fire depart ment, got into an argument over how 'cng it takes to dry hose and why the water was not turned on at a recent cabin fire. The chief stated that the reason that water was not turned on was that the chemical was ably handling the fire and that water would have done more harm than good. The discussion ended when Councilman Myers suggested that Councilman Callahan prefer charges against the chief if he felt that such procedure was necessary, after which Mayor Nerland ruled that the whole dis cussiop was out of order.
