DORA IS AGAIN
 ON WESTWARD RUN.

The steamer Dora, which was with
 drawn from the westward run last spring and replaced by the Santa Ana, has "come back" and will make her regular trips to the westward along the Alaskan Peninsula and the Aleu- tian islands. When the Dora went
 south last spring people living along
 the west coast bid her good bye, be- lieving that she was destined to be dismantled, or would be converted into a cannery tender, but the staunch
 little steamer back again, ready to battle with the worst storms which sweep the shores of the Pacific.
 The Dora brought a cargo of ex- plosives north and is under the com
 mand of Captain Victor Westerlund,
 a well-known pilot in the service of the Alaska Steamship Company.
 Capt. c. B. McMullen, who was in
 command of the Dora for six years
 on the westward run, was captain of
 the big freighter Edith, which he
 was forced to abandon recently when
 her cargo of ore shifted during a heavy sea.
 The Santa Ana, which is being re- placed by the Dora, will be placed
 on the Southeastern Alaska run, do- ing a combined freight and passen- ger business of the westward, and
 may possibly be back on the run next summer but the Dora, which has nev-

PREPARE CLEANING CAMPAIGN
Civic Bodies show Interest in Work
to Be Done.

Although from April 10 to May 1
is the specific period OF the cleanup
campaign. vigorous activities already
have started, and this is to be known
as "get-together week" in these pre-
liminary activities. The interest be-
ing shown by the Board of Trade,
Chamber of Commerce. Retail Mer-
chants Association, and various other
civic bodies indicates that the 1915
campaign will be more successful than
any previous ones.
The street cleaning and health de-
partments will give special attention
to the collection of refuse during the
campaign period. and the citizens are
urged to keep the officials of these
departments advised Of any insanitary
conditions that come under their
Jurisdiction.
DR.. Arthur L. Murray. secretary of
the clean city committee, suggests
that the cleanup campaign is a good
time not to swat the fly but to wipe
its breeding places out OF existence.
1t is already becoming apparent that
the campaign will give work to many
who have been depending upon charity
throughout the winter. The painters
expect a busy spring.
