A GREATER VALDEZ RISING FROM THE ASHES

With the ruins of their former places of bushes and homes still smou1dering majority of the business men who suffered in the fire have se- sured temporary quarters and are ready to re- sume business when new stocks arrive. Those who were fortunate in saving portion of their goods are busy. The fact that the fire swept away all building material has delayed opera tions until the arrival of stock of lumber which was cab1ed for within hour after the fire had been brought under control. Workmen are busy clearing the streets and removing the miles of burnt and now useless electric transmission and telephone wires. The Valdez Dock Co.,, which suffered heavily, immediately placed big crew of men at work and within 30 hours autos and teams were enabled to meet steam CTS. The big piles of household goods and per sona1 effects which had been taken from the burning buildings have disappeared into the temporary homes. The ruins are being remov- ed as the owners preparing to build. S. Blum, president of the First Bank of Valdez, and the s. Blum & Go. store, is doing business in the Northern block. and has announced that a concrete block will be erected as soon as the material arrives. A big crew of men are clear the lots. The Daily rospector has cabled for a new plant. It will be the finest ever brought to Alaska Those who suffered losses receiv- ing the sympathy and assistance of their more fortunate fellow citizens and all are determin- ed to make Valdez better city than ever. The residents of Valdez are of the kind whom diversity does not discourage but urges to put fourth greater efforts.

failed last week to chronicle the
visit of Mr.. and Mrs. S. d. Taylor
of Boise, to their old home town.
Mr.. and Mrs. Taylor were able to
spend only three days here and
were unable to see all of their old
friends in such a short time as they
were compelled to spend most of
their time looking after their real

CHEAPER RATES
ON K. Y. Line
Main Line Rates to Apply on Kootenai
Valley Railroad after The 25tb
Of This Month
MEANS BIG SAYING TO RANCHERS
Will Result in Quicker Development Of
the Kootenai Valley

For the past several years the
members of the Kootenai Valley
Commercial Club have co-operated
in their efforts with Great North
ern Station Agent A. B. Ashby to
secure a reduction of freight rates
on the Kootenai Valley railway, a
branch line of the Great Northern
railway running from Boomers
Ferry to Creston, B. c.
That these efforts have proven
successful was assured this week
when Agent Ashby received word
from the headquarters of the Great
Northern railway company at St.
Paul that the freight rates on the
Kootenai Valley railway had been
cut seven cents on the hundred.
The new rates will go into effect
April 18th.
This will prove to be the most
welcome news which has reached
the ranchers and land owners OF
the Kootenai valley between Bon
ners Ferry and Porthill in many
years as it means the saving oil
many hundreds of dollars which
have heretofore been paid for
freight shipped in and out of the
valley.
The new rate will assure the
largest savings on shipments to
points on the main line. Hereto
fore the rate per hundred pounds
from Porthill to Standpoint has
been GO cents; the rate from Port
hill to Libby has been IS cents
Now the rate will be AZ cents to
Standpoint and 81 cents to Libby
The rates to all main line points
will be corresp ondingly reduced.
1t is not probable that the Great
Northern railway will lose through
the reduction of the freight rates,
and it is more than probable that
the company will gain as result
of the increased amount of freight
hauling made possible through the
lower rates.
This reduction in freight rates
will probably do more to help the
development of the Kootenai valley
than any other project which has
been proposed for the general wei
fare of the district in many years.

KEEP UP THE
GOOD WORK

Considerable interest and activ-
ity in cleaning up Boomers Ferry
have been manifested during the
week. Let the good work contin-
tie! Not just for the present but
until we have city to which we
can point with pride. Few places
can boast of so much natural beau-
ty, but on every side the landscape
is so decorated with piles of tin
cans, heaps of decaying boards.
old shoes, and the like that the Wis
itor or traveller passing through
the town is chiefly impressed with
the aspect Of tumble-down neglect.
Certainly there are many well kept
places in Boomers Ferry, but the
good effect is los. when the eye is
greeted by dilapidated fence next
door or an untidy street in front.
Clean up your yards, repair your
sidewalks, cooperate with your
neighbors to keep vacant lots and
your whole street in good condi-
ton. You will enjoy the results
and so will everybody else.
And don't consider your duty
done when you have dumped your
refuse over the back alley fence or
in the nearest vacant lot. Burn
whatever will burn, and see that
everything else is hauled to the
proper place and left there. Set
out trees and plant flowers. Nature
is ready to do her full share with
fertile soil, long summer season.
and natural vegetation in album
dance. Why can not we do our
little part to help her, and make
Boomers Ferry real gardenspot!
1t is generally the towns without
natural resources that do the most
towards identifying their locations.
Why shouldn't we, with every
thing in our favor, with beautiful
trees of every variety to be had
without even the asking, and
shurbs on every hillside, make our
homes and streets more attractivef
The railroad goes through the CEN
ter of town, and the view from the
train is anything but inspiring and
certainly not 10 our credit. The
Great Northern is ready to help,
but can we expect it to keep its
right -of-way clean when our wor-
thy citizens continue to deposit
rubbish along the track?
Let's cultivate civic pride along
with our yards and gardens. Let's
get together. Let the childen help
and let everyone do his part to-
wards making Boomers Ferry a
better, cleaner place in which to
live and a place which travellers
and visitors will mention with ad-
miration and remember with pleas
ure-Mrs. Harold ] Mccoy.

"Clean-U Up Week" Great Success

The idea of cleaning up" and
making the town attractive in ev-
cry way possible, which was started
by the Civic Improvement Club,
spread rapidly and it required but
little effort to get everyone in town
to fall in line and aid the move
ment. As result many tons oil
rubbish and alley accumulations
have been burned or removed to
the city dump grounds this week
and the town presents A cleaner
and brighter appearance than it has
for years. 1t TAX the women to
do the work.

INDEPENDENT"
TICKET FILED
Every District Of Boomers Ferry Rep
resented on Ticket of Proposed
New Village Trustees
PROBABLY Be NO OPPOSITION
General Satisfaction Expressed Over
Present Nominations

What has been designated as the
Independent Ticket" was filed
with Village Clerk Richardson yes
terday morning only ticket
which has been filed for the COM
ing municipal election to be held
April 9th, and according to those
prominent in municipal affairs, the
only ticket which will be filed.
For number of years the regu-
lar village elections have passed
very quietly and it is probable that
the one approaching will occasion
no factionalisms.
Business men and citizens of all
parts of the town have expressed
themselves as being satisfied with
the men nominated on the indie
pendent Ticket and ii is generally
admitted that these men will prove
capable and conscientious in the
administration of the affairs of
Boomers Ferry should they be
elected.
The men selected on the indie
pendent Ticket represent practical
ly every portion of Boomers Ferry.
George R. Gray, former mayor
of the town and who, during his
residence here, has served some
10 years as member of the village
board of trustees, heads the ticket
and represents the resilient district
on the school house hill. w. H.
Richardson, village clerk for the
past three years, represents the
Northside district. D. w. Parks,
wellknown contractor, represents
the Park addition. G. A. Elliott,
contracting filler for the Boomers
Ferry Lumber Company, and
Frank Zimmerman, one of the pro-
prietols of the City Meat Market,
represent the resident districts on
both sides of Main street.
These men have consented to
act as village trustees on the con-
dition that they receive the loyal
support of the citizens of Boomers
Ferry and that no opposition ticket
be filed and thus necessitate cleo
pioneering for an Office which car
ries no salary and requires a great
deal of self sacrifice on the part of
the individual accepting such an
office.
Citizens of Boomers Ferry should
make it point to register and 10
cast their votes on election day to
express their loyalty and willing
ness to aid the new village officers
to be elected in everything they
may do for the welfare and ad-
vancemeut of ROnners Ferry

an unusual accident and was prob
ably caused by a particle of dirt
