 Case will be Appealed.

l Owing to the absence of Mayor
 Boyle from the regular meeting of the Valdez city council Tuesday eve ming an adjourned meeting was held
 last night with Councilmen Hockey, Thomas, King and Von Gunther present, with Mayor Boyle in the chair. ,..~a r The ordinance granting the Hes Light & Power company franchise to operate Eithin the corporate limits of the city and to erect poles in the streets and alleys, was given it's third reading and approved. A rep resentative of the company asked for advice as to whether the new con- pany's wires would have to be strung above those of the present company serving Valdez or if shorter poles could be used The matter was left to the city attorney to determine. The city treasurer reported that approximately $46OO in tax monies had been received to date, leaving more than $11,000 still uncollected. The property owners have only few more days in which to pay their taxes before they become delinquent and subject to penalty of ten per cent.
 The matter of accepting payment of taxes from property owners who ap- pealed from the assessments. and in which car:&S the district court had re- gently decided against the city or had reduced the valuation. was discussed. will take all appeal from the decision of the court in some of the tax cases that the city treasurer should require the contesting property owners to present an order from the court re- quiring the treasurer to accept the taxes as determined by the court.
 The question of the city's taking an appeal from the courts findings in the case of the Valdez Dock Company vs. Town of Valdez. was entrusted to Mayor Boyle and Senator o. P. Hub bard, city attorney, to decide. MT. Hubbard stated that the question of municipal ownership of the water front was of vital importance to the towns of Alaska and he believed that other towns in Alaska might be in duced to helD bear the burden of talk ing the case to the higher courts or securing the passage of law by con- gress granting municipalities juris- diction over the waterfronts.

REV. fR. CR|M0NT
 |S VALDEZ VISITOR
Returns from Westward where He Accompanied Sisters wl,o Will Have Charge of Hospital.

The Very Rev f'r. Crinont is the eues: of Father Corbett the priest
 in charge of the Valdez Catholic church. As F'r. Crimont holds the highest office in the gift of the Cath olic church. that of Prefect Apos- tolic, his movements are of interest to the Catholics of Alaska. and to his many friends. As he has the weighty responsibility of providing for the religious wants of all the Alaskan Catholics he is perforce obliged to continually travel, ever exposed to dangers and privations on sea and on land.
 Leaving his headquarters at Ju- neau in the early summer he jour- neyed to Fairbanks. visiting all the missions on the Yukon, then sped to Nome From Nome he took ship for the Ek8tes to persuade the Sisters of St. Joseph to open and conduct a much-needed hospital at Seward. Having been successful in his nego tiations he hurried back to Juneau. On the arrival of two brave and Ca pable Sisters he again took ship for the westward and confided them to the care of the incumbent of Sew ard, Rev Fr. Van der Pol. Having arranged for their introduction to the public of our sister city of Sew ard. he proceeded on his way to visit the struggling flock of Anchorage.
 His kindly interest in Anchorage almost made him martyr of char ity. As no guarantee of the return to the Farragut of those who took .he first launch. he prudent]y waited for it's return.
 Meanwhile, Rev. Fr. Shepherd, the parish priest of Anchorage along with several other prominent men of the and city had boarded the Farragut. an attempt was made to send all passengers ashore with three lighters, but after a struggle of five hours in the ice. those responsible for the lives of others and the safety of the merchandise dispatched a gas oline boat to the Farragut and soon passengers and freight were again on the Farragut. After two days search, the floating dock. Sperm, was found stuck in the ice. Then the Farragut with a fleet of smaller boats. made for Seldovia and safety.

Ellis as to the amount of gold which has been taken from the Cliff mine since he assumed the management of the mine last summer It is stated in the com plain1 that $60,0O0 has been taken from the mine and that the plain tifs, as co-owners. have received no accounting as to how the money was expended H. E. Ellis is said to have recovered values to the extent of $35- 900 since beginning work last fall, and that the further sum of $25,O 900 has been taken out by J. F. Hughes. property.
 The complaint also charges that the plaintiffs have been excluded from the property and have been de nied the right to investigate the mine.

latest owner of the Times was Martin
A. Brown, the lumber magnate. He
took over the paper after giving fnan-

rected its course through the journals

that he has found by experience that

Action Well Taken.
Barre Times.

Vermont s livestock commissioner,
Fred l.. Davis, again acted promptly in
forbidding the shipment of livestock
from the states of Massachusetts and
Illinois into Vermont because of the
outbreak of the foot-and- mouth disease
in those two states. The situation in
Illinois is not of such great concern to
Vermont as is that in Massachusetts,;
and in the latter state the disease has
made such progress that the great
stockyards at Brighton have been
closed on the orders of Commissioner
Lester H. Howard, head of the Massa-
chusetts board of animal industry. The
disease appears to be the most wide
spread in Worcester county and the
prohibition at the Brighton yards is
intended chiefly as a bar against live
stock and even men from that region,
for it is said that the foot mouth
disease can be carried on the clothing
or on the shoes of men who have been
wor king about infected herds. There
is some protest in Massachusetts
against the closing of the Brighton
| yards, but the protest loses its point
when the possible severity of the out
break is appreciated. Indeed, such
prompt steps are necessary.
Likewise, the steps taken by the Yer
mont livestock commissioner are neces-
sary if Vermont is to be kept free from
the ravages of the disease; and Com
missioner Davis s promptness in closing
the doors to shipment from the tive
states mentioned, chiefly, of course
| Massachusetts, will receive the approx
al of practically everyone in Vermont
: Once having gained a foothold il
Vermont, the foot -and-mouth disease
would not be easily dislodged. The time
for drastic methods is before the dis
ease gets into the state.

The MeddLer
IF the coat fits you. pat Il on"

Persons who the interested in the
welfare of the West River valley
towns-and that class certainly in
cludes the greater part of Brattle-
boro s merchants are apprehensive
over a rumor to the effect that the
Central Vermont railroad is considering
a curtailment of the present train
schedule on the West River branch.
1t is understood that the plan is to dis
continue the train which leaves here
for South Londonderry at 9,45 a. m. and
Breaches here from that town at 1.50 p.
m, thereby giving the West river val
ley but one passenger train a day each
way-the morning train which arrives
here from South Londonderry ct S.45
and the north bound train at 6 p. IN.
Such q curtailment would work a
, noticeable hardship not only on the res
, idents of the valley towns but on
many local persons and concerns that
have business dealings in that locality.

TURN HAIR DARK
With SAGE TEA
Grandma kept her locks dark, glossy
and thick with simple mixture of
Sage Tea and Sulphur.

The old-time mixture of Sage Tea
and Sulphur for darkening gray,
strealled and faded hair is grandmoth-
er S treatment, and folks are again
using it to keep their hair a good,
even cclor, which is quite sensible, as
we are living in an age when a youth
full appearance is of the greatest adj
vantage.
Nowadays, though, we don't have
the troublesome task of gathering the
sage and the mussy mixing at home.
All drug stores sell the ready-to-use-
product called "Wyeth s Sage and Sui
phur Compound for about so cents a
bottle. 1t IS very popular because no
body can discover it has been applied.
Simply moisten your comb or a soft
brush with it and draw this through
your hair, taking one small strand at
time; by morning the gray hair dis
appears, but what delights the ladies
with Wyeth s Sage and Sulphur is
that, besides beautifully darkening the
hair after few applications, it also
produces that soft lustre and appear
ance of abundance which is So attrac
tive; besides prevents dandruff, itch
ing scalp and falling hair.

Instead of hammering legislatures and
