SHIP CREEK BUSY SCENE
 LOT QUESTION UNCERTAIN

at public auction to the highest bid Ter; still others maintain that bio neers will have the first chance to re- tain or acquire lots located by them; while yet others think that it will be quite a while before the townsite is ready for public disposal and be- lieve that the squatters, if they are not in the way, will not be moiested for the time being.
 To add to the problem Is the claim of Thomas H. Jeter, who located a homestead there three years prior to the creation of the townsite re- serve. Jeter does not propose to surrender any rights he may inherit through his entry, and has enlisted the services of his cousin, prominent attorney and a former lieutenant gov ernor of California, to aid him in the matter.
 But complex as the situation ap- pears on its face, it is safe to say that the engineering commission has def

SOCIALISTS STILL WORKING FOR
 PEACE:

THE HAGUE, April 28-Much atten- tion has been attracted throughout Holland by the Dutch Socialist-Demo- cratis congress and the series of res olutions put forward in connection with the war and it's effects.
 Two of these resolutions favored co. operation with all the other bodies working for peace. Others called for strong action by the government in the relief of distress brought about by the war; for an alteration of the sys- tenn of the delivery of wheat and flour so that the price of bread shall be reduced to the level prevailing in August, since when it has risen by one-third; and finally demanding an agitation at the proper time in view of covering the burdens thrown upon the country by war by means of a levy on capital.
 Socialists in The Hague, as we'll as in other cities of Holland, are calling for government action to provide for the payment of house rent and the necessities of life for the unemployed whose numbers are constantly increas-

VALDEZ PROPERTY SOLD
 FOR BACK TAXES

The municipality of Valdez yester- day sold all real property upon which the taxes for the past year have not been paid. Lots sold for as low as 23 cents, and the highest price paid was $1OO. The city bid Tn most of the property on the outskirts of the town upon which the taxes mad not been paid. The owners Of the prop erty purchased may redeem it at any time within two years by the payment of the amount paid and interest at Is per cent.
The Cordova daily times., 1915-04-29

Ship Creek, on Knik Arm, is fast assuming the proportions of a city one constructed chiefly of tents due to uncertainty of the lot ques- tion. If this matter were deter mined and the lots sold or disposed of in some way so that private par ties could build with some degree of certainty as to their status, then the little city would grow with a phenome- nal grokth. As it is all of the one hundred and fifty people now there are as busy as bees, but their labor, for the most part. is confined to building but temporary quarters, because Of the situation.
 Just how soon the townsite will be thrown open, or how the lots will be disposed of, are questions which no one now there is qualified to answer, although conjectures are rife. Some appear to believe that there will be a drawing, at so much per draw; oth- CTS maintain that the lots will be sold

mite plans with regard to the town site matter, which will be announced in due time. Perhaps before the end of the month the announcement will be forthcoming, as Lieutenant Mears, of the commission, has arrived at Ship Creek.
 A water right has been filed with the forest service calling for 5000 min CTS inches of water from Ship Creek, for a water power and electric sys- tenn for the town. Capital is avail able to finance the system.
 There are five restaurants, four lodging houses a ndtwo small stores there now. R. c. Nichols will open a jewelry store. A man is there to open meat market and cold storage plant. s. s.

ELECTRIC PLANT
 FOR SHIP GREEK

A company composed of Eastern capitalists has been formed for the purpose of establishing an electric power and light plant for Ship Creek, and one of the capitalists interested went through to that place on the Ev- ans. Jack McEachern, formerly su- perintendent of the electric company at Cordova, is the moving spirit in the enterprise. He has been at Sew ard all winter but earlier in the sea son he staked the water right on Ship Creek and has had a man work. ing on it all winter at his own ex pense. The company is known as the Ship Creek Electric Company.

Valdez is now in the throes of a wet" and dry" fight. Commission CT Love has appointed c. c. Rudolph and Ray Larson to take the census of the people regarding the granting of liquor licenses. The city council has passed a resolution favoring a continuance of the saloons, and the Commercial Club is a strong advo- cate of voting "yes" on the question, giving good reasons why Valdez should not go dry at this time

MANDY EXPECTING HARD FIGHT FROM
 SEWANEE TIGERS
Curry and Captain Cohen on Injured List-Number of Subsidiaries Will
 Be Used

Nashville November 17-(Special.t } Vanderbilt athletic authorities say that the largest crowd in the history of Van derbilt-Sewanee football games will see the battle between these oldtime rivals on Dudley Field Thanksgiving, The fast, well oiled, and well governed McGugin machine upset all the dope last Satur- day when the big Auburn line was crushed into the mud at Birmingham. They are fighting now for the championship of Dixie
 But every football enthusiast in the south knows that the Sewanee Tiger never fights like he fights on Dudley Field when he faces the Vanderbilt line. Word has come from the mountain that they were never in better form and that they will pull some plays on Vanderbilt that the Commodores have not been trained to meet Additional seats are be- ing provided to accommodate the crowd of i0G00 spectators that local authorities have every reason to expect Special plans for alumni home coming and re- union of Vanderbilt men have been nounced. Vanderbilt alumni are expected from all sections of the south and head quarters will be established at the Hotel Hermitage, where on Thanksgiving morn- ing a Vanderbilt alumni reunion will be held.
 Coach McGugin has expressed conf- denoe in the outcome but it is known that the Vanderbilt team is not in the best of condition after the hard game Saturday. Curry, the fast quarter, was nlade the object of many hard attacks, and Captain Cohen had to leave the game with injuries A number of shifts will have to be made before Sewanee comes and a number of substitutes pressed into service Just now the machine will look wien McGugin completes his task of oyerhauling no one yet can tell.

NOOJIN DENIES THAT THANKSGIVING GAME
 HAS BEEN CANCELLED
Six Regulars Will Be Permitted to Play Against Alabama -Whittsley and Captain Harsh on the Injured List

Coach Lonnie Noojin of the University of Alabama was in Birmingham yes terday arranging the preliminary details for the Thanksgiving game here between Alabama and Mississippi at Redwood Field
 He denied that the game had been can celed because of the fact that six of the Mississippi regulars had been ruled ineligible,
 ''1n a telephone conversation with Coach Robbins at the University of Mis- sippi today" said Coach Noojin, ~'in re- gard to the report that the game was to be cancelled, he denied the report. He said that six of the team had been ruled out, but the faculty would lift the ruling so they could play in the game with Ala bama. MT. Robbins also said his team would be in the best condition of the year to face Alabama, and that his boys would be sure to scalp us. If they do. they'll be goin' some. We are expecting all extra hard game and despite the fact that we will probably be minus the serv- ices of Whittesley and possibly Captain Harsh, we will go in that game to win"

University of Mississippi, November 17. Special )--Haying heard that the report had been spread at Birmingham and the University of Alabama to the effect that the University of Mississippi would not fill her football date with Alabama at Birmingham Thanksgiving, athletic off cials here wish it to be understood that the report is entirely without foundation Due to injuries and the temporary barring of six of her best men on account of deficiencies in studies, the University officials thought it a wise move to cancel the game scheduled with Arkansas Sat urday, November 20, but there has been no thought of canceling the Mississippi Alabama game.
 The barred men are practicing daily and the ban will be lifted by the faculty before the date set for the game Captain Harris, Dawson, Dear and Griffin, who rave been nursing injuries. are working out now and should be able to play the game of their lives Thanksgiving.
 Canceling of the Arkansas game will give Coach Fred Robbins ample time to get his men in better shape than ever before this season.
