INFLUENCE STILL FELT

No need to look on the calendar TO
see the date, today. Just look for
shamrocks, green ties, green carna-
lions, and green everywhere, and the
story is told. This is st. Patrick'5
day, and while the anniversary OF ire
lands greatest son is not being formal
ly observed here, the sentiment Of the
day is not forgotten nor Is 1t going
aforementioned.
The legends and stories which clus-
ter about the name of st. Patrick are
numerous. There is little doubt about
his work towards the outstanding
of ireland, and for which he is best re-
membered. He has been called the
christian origin of Ireland's greatness.
and his influence is felt even to these
times in the land he converted to the
christian faith. His birthplace Is in
doubt, France, Britain and England,
all claiming the honor.
Most historians place the time of
his birth as 396 in the British-Roman
province of Valentia, at a place near
the Clyde. In 432 he Is said to have
begun his missionary work, and to
have established 365 churches, and
with his own hands baptized 1900 per-
sons. His death occurred at Saul,
near Downpatrick in Ago.
When he was 16 years old, st. Pat
rick was carried into Ireland by a
band Of barbarians and herded cattle
for them. These people believed in
the Druid gods. ST. Patrick soon con-
verified them to the lessons of the
christian faith. Such was the founda-
ton he helped to build on the island
which has become known as the
island of saints and scholars"

BRIDGE ORDINANCE
PASSED BY COUNCIL

upper or vehicle deck of the bridge
to First street. This eliminates the
heavy grade between Water street
and First street that vehicles now
have to climb in coming to this city
from the other side of the river.
Another advantage is in the separa-
ton of vehicle and rail traffic that
will be made in the reconstruction of
the bridge and in the building Of the
viaduct and roadway.
The yiaduct to be constructed
across the leyee and Water street
will be Of iron-work construction.
This viaduct will be landed on it's
eastern end on a paraphet in block
five about half way between Water
street and First street and just inside
the south line Of Blondeau street. Be-
tween the end of the viaduct and
First street the roadway is to be con
structed on fill. The roadway will
be paved with brick and will have
concrete sidewalk on either side. The
roadway will be constructed In the
shape of curve toward Main street.
1t will be SO feet wide and 1872 feet
long, while the maximum grade of
the roadway and viaduct will be "a
percent, as stated before.
Work on Roadway.
Work on this roadway will be start
ed in time for it to be finished and
ready for use some time before the
reconstruction of the bridge has been
completed. Notice of ninety days
must be given by the city before this
work can be started and this notice
probably will be given within short
time.
When the ordinance has been final
ly passed by the council on the TWEEN
ty-fourth of this month, the city's part
in the negotiations for the reconstruc-
ton of the bridge will be completed.
The right Of the city to give or re-
fuse permission to the bridge COM
pany to la1d their approach inside
the city has been the means by
which the council has secured the
most favorable plans for the approach
from the iowa side for vehicle traffic.
The city council Of Keokuk also has
been influential through this same
means in securing an approach from
the Illinois side, the plans for which
have met with the entire approval of
the people Of Hamilton, so the
plans for the approaches to the bridge
from both sides have met with the
approval of the people Of Keokuk and
Hamilton and will be great improve
ments over the present conditions.

FRAME PLANS AUTO
 LINE TO TOLOVANA

Grover Frame, who has success fully operated an auto stage line be- tween Fairbanks and the coast dur ing the past summer has announced that he will try to operate his ma chimes to Tolovana during the winter. He is of the opinion that he can make the run from Olness to Brooks as the snow does not lie sufficiently deep on the divide during the winter to prove handicap. Grover believes the Tol- ovana run will possess decided ad- vantages over the long run to the coast as the distances between Fair banks and Chitina passes through too many different kinds of country to suit him. He says he will be like Bob Sheldon who operated all winter last season and found that he had made just 65 cents for his months of toll and worry. Frame says he has had all the worry he wanted during the summer and will have none of it this winter.

MORE ARRESTS
 :; :. BOMB CONSPIRACY
 >'ps # tF
German Agent to Perfect Clock work Bombs for Ships.

NEW YORK, Oct. 26.-A sensa- tion was created here today when it was announced that Dr. Kreinzie, manager of one of the largest watch factories in the state, had been arrest ed in connection with the German conspiracy to destroy intuition fac tories in the United States.
 Lieut.. Fay, the German officer, is reported to have inadvertently dis closed the identity of Dr. Krienzie as the person who assisted him in per fecting the clockwork bombs which were to have been used for the destruction of steamers.
 It is reported that many other prominent German-Americans are involved in the conspiracy and more arrests are expected. The United States government has been active in it's efforts to disclose the identity of the conspirators who were responsible for the numerous explosions in the intuition factories and powder mills in this country. Agents of the gov ernment are reported to have visited Europe in order to gain the confi- dence of the conspirators and learn the workings of their plans.

TAXABLE PROPERTY
 Btth INCREASED
cent Levy will be Required to Meet Expenses of City.

The equalization board of the city council finished it's labors last night and determined that the tax levy this year will be two per cent. The board has spent considerable time in equal |izing the assessments protested and in making other properties to conform
 with the changes made by reason Nf the protests.
 It is reported that majority of the protests have been amicably adjusted to the satisfaction of most of the property owners and in cases where
 no changes were made the council
 will defend it's assessments in the courts if necessary.
 The estimates covering the proba-
 ble expenses of the city government during the year were not received as the committee had been too busy on the equalization board, but as the to-
 tai taxable property of the town was
 but slightly in increase over that of
 last year it was determined to levy a two per cent tax which would pay all expenses and reduce the indebtedness of the town to the extent of nearly $5,00O.
 Property owners on the City dock approach as well as the hay, grain and coal of the Valdez Dock company will not be subject to tax this year owing to their not having been included in the assessors first list. The council, at recent meeting, instructed the as- sessor to place valuation on this waterfront property and to notify the property owners, but acting under le- gal advice, decided that litigation might result from the assessments not having been made as by ordi- nance provided. The lumber of the Valdez Dock company, valed at $5000 however, it was determined should be assessed as it was included in the original assessment.
 It will surprise many citizens of dez to learn that the taxable property of Valdez has increased during the past year despite the great losses suf- fered by the July fire, when third of the business section of the town was destroyed. The increase has largely been effected by taxing the capital stocks of both the First Bank of Valdez and the Valdez Bank & Trust company, amounting to $50,- 900, the Valdez Dock Co.,, with its lumber stock, assessed at $17.000, and a general increase of personal property which has been overlooked by previous assessors. The taxable property last year amounted to $742,- 900 and this year the books show that 1t has increased to $79S,000.

 Capt. Snow, the pilot of the Burn side, was one of the first navigators to come to Valdez bay, and was here before there was cabin on the beach.
 MT. Bruck, the electrician, is also a former Valdez resident, having been connected with the local office of the Signal Corps, and is meeting many old friends.

FAULT IN CABLE
 FOUND IN VALDEZ
Cableship Burnside Repairs Breaks
 Near Sitka and Wrangell and Traces Defect to Valdez.

The government cableship Burn side arrived at the Valdez dock late last night and bright and early this morning a large force of men were at work unearthing the cable from tidewater to the cable office to deter mine a defect which exists on the tidefat. The work was kept up un- til the tide forced the men to suspend operations
 Lieut.. H. w. Gregg, of the U. g.. Signal Corps, is in charge of the cable laying and reports that the Burnside found the cable parted in two places. The first break detected was at point about forty miles north of Sitka, where the original cable had parted, at a point where the water is 500 feet deep The Burnside was three days in making the splice, as a terrific storm was raging. On the third day the weather moderated and the crew kept on the job from early morning until midnight.
 The second break was found near Wrangell, where a new cable had parted under earth movements. The cable had been snapped clean show ing that tremendous pressure had been exerted.
 The local Signal Corps office has been experiencing trouble for some time in communicating with Cordova and Seward and it was believed that a defect existed in the cable near the junction. The instruments on the Burnside, which indicate where faults exist, proved that the source of trou ble was near Valdez and finally To- cated the defect on the tideflat
 During the past summer the Burn side laid more than sixty miles of new cable to replace the wornout one over which the Signal Corps opera tors were trying to receive messages.
 Lieut.. Gregg states that vast im- provement has been made in the class of cable now being used by the Uni ted States government, and expresses the belief that the life of the Ameri- can cable now being manufactured

CREATE AN ESTATE TODAY

WHAT are you working for? Isn't it
to build up an Independent future for
yourself; to provide for your loved
ones so that the comfort OF your home
and the happiness Of those about you
will not a at yor death or IN your
age2 A great many men fail to re-
alize this desire through Incidence and
lack OF foresight in the very years
that should be the most beneficial.
Their intentions are good-but inten-
tons pay no bills, buy no food, dress
no widow and children, pay no rem
or interests, lift no mortgages, buy no
home, nor do they keep you in your
declining years.
If you were offered a credit of a
few thousand dollars, to be paid to
your family at your death, or to your
self 20 years hence, should you be
alive, II in consideration of that
credit you pay a minimum annual
interest on that sum for 20 years,
YOU would consider 1t an easy way
of securing an estate-an opportunity
of providing yourself and dear ones
against possible want. You would not
hesitate a moment to grasp ii.
That's Just What Insurance
Amounts To!
