ONE OF THE RESULTS
 OF VOTING WE.

The Miner Man was told the othe day that Kasaan was going to hay celebration of it's own this comin Fourth of July, and when we raske, why such was the case were tolo that it was because it would take the greater part of week for tn cannery and fishing crews to "sob CT up' after the celebration if they came to Ketchikan. Here's somt thing for the businessmen of tn community to think over. Ketchika, depends on the fishing and minin, camps of this region for her busin css, and the employers of the peopl, in those camps are afraid to let theil men come here because they vii get drunk and unfit for work for some time afterwards. A "wet' town may be all right for the saloons but how is it for the man with the stock of clothing-the butcher, the baker. the candlestick maker-and all the rest of uss

Berlin, June 26-The German note to the United States will make the statement that Germany has neith er the desire nor the intention of ieop- ardizing the interests of neutrals on the seas. She is fighting for the freedom of the seas the note will say and is willing to accept mediation so that an understanding can be arrived at between her and England looking for modification of the British blockade of the ports of Germany, in return for which she is prepared to retrench to some extent in her sub marine warfare. In fact the Germans State Department has minated that they are willing to negotiate along the lines laid down by Wilson in his second note. Germany believes, how ever that Great Britain will abso- ultely refuse to abate its blockade of Germany's sea ports, in which event there is little likelihood that any notifications will be made in her submarine warfare methods. She Is prepared however to concede equ ally as much as England conced ed, but will not give ground alone. The contention by Germany has been that she declared her submarine war fare February IS, only after Great Britain and France had put into eff feet their blockade of her ports, and it was only because of that blockade that she has pursued the course she has.

Tokyo,-Advices from Vladivostok are that munitions of war Intended by Russia for use in the war in Europe are arriving at that seaport in great quantities. They are coming from the United States and Canada and Japan. The arrivals are so great that the facilities for forwarding them by rail through Siberia are made quate, and Russia is placing i'm mense orders in the United States for locomotives and rolling stock of all kinds in order to relieve the pressure and hasten their delivery at the front
 In addition to the equipment that is being shipped through Siberia from Vladivostok, thousands of tons of munitions are being shipped from Japan through Manchuria to Russia Japan has consented to the loan tc Russia of all the available rolling stock in Manchuria and Korea tha' can be spared from that locality.

Amsterdam, June 25-Rumors com ing from Berlin and Vienna are rife to the effect that the Germanic forces are planning a great attack on the Russian line west of Warsaw. Im- mense numbers of new troops, many of them the 1915 and 1916 classes, mere boys are being gathered at the camps scattered between Posen and the Vistula line. This attack will probably occur as soon as matters can be considered settled in Galicia The eastern battle line is now in the form of a huge bow, with Libau on the north end. Warsaw approximatelv at the center, and Lemberg on the south. The Germans are thus In 8 position to attack the Russians on the Warsaw line from the front and both wings, and it appears as though the latter must give ground when once the former attack.

A very enthusiastic gathering co

A very enthusiastic gathering con vened at the Council Chambers last night to talk over the mater of Ket- chikan celebrating the Fiftieth ami versary of the purchase of Alaska by the United States. J. L. Me Pherson. secretary of the Alaska Bureau of the Seattle Chamber Of Commerce, was present and outlined the suggestion of the body he rep resents that every town in Alaska should make arrangements for cele. bration of the event. This provides for the gathering at Seattle of an excursion party some time during the early summer of 1917 who should make the trip to this territory in specially chartered steamers calling at the different towns en route, then proceeding down the Yukon to the Interior in time to be present at Fairbanks proposed fair and cele- bration. Each town is to prepare q celebration to be held at the time the excursionists are there, embrac- ing an exhibit of the resources of the region.
 Speeches endorsing the plan were made by many of those present and the following resolution unanimously adopted:
 Whereas: The year 1917 will be the Fiftieth anniversary of the ac- quisition of the territory of Alaska by the United States, the transaction drought win great possibilities for this Northland of ours, and without which this great empire would today probably be as much a desert as is Siberia,
 Be it Resolved that it is the sense of the Commercial Club of Ketchikan. Alaska, that the event should be commemorated by celebrations throughout Alaska on dates that will not conflict, and which will permit of the greatest participation by of ficial representatives and visitors who should be urged to visit the Ter ritory for that purpose, and that every effort should be made to se- cure as large an official representa- tion for such celebrations as pos sible.
 And be it Further Resolved that the Commercial Club of Ketchikan believes that Ketchikan should pre- vide for one days celebration, to be held at date in 1917 to be fixed at some future time, when an ex- hiblt should be made of the resourc- es of the territory tributary to Ket- chikan.
