 UP NEW CITY FLUHdE

The boards placed in the bottom of the channel were torn out in places and at the Broadway bridge pat of the ground at the bridge approach was washed away. The work of strengthening the creek cost EyUe over $500 few weeks ago. It is now predicted that some new method must be found to corral the steam.

COMMUNICATIONS

Valdez, Alaska, Sept. 2, 1916. Editor Valdez Miner.
 May I ask you to kindly give pub liyity to the following:
 My attention has been called to a small pamphlet being circulated in Alaska entitled:
 Address to the People of Alaska" by Mir. James Wickresham.
 On page 10 of this pamphlet, in a paragraph with the caption of "Hiyu Cultus Wawa," he repeats an old charge against me of having aided in the opposition to his bill for the ere ation of an Alaskan legislature. This is false, as he we'll knows, and he knows also that was urging Some form of self government for Alaska when he was supporting and aiding Governor Hoggatt in opposition to it.
 It is perhaps unnecessary to make this denial as my position on this sub ject has been we'll known in the Ter ritory to all who cared enough to in. quire, but 1 call attention to it as l suspect Mir. Wickersham's real pur- pose referred to is to convey som, kind of subtle insult by his interest ing caption of "Hiyu Cultus, etc."
 It may be form of humor on his part, or it may be a sort of war cry that he has adopted to terrOrize the administration and congress into granting him appropriations and other Legislation he claims to have gotten through for Alaska.
 One could hardly suspect it of be- ing his native tongue, and yet sounds "so like him."

COBB STARTS CAMPAIGN
 DOWN AT VALDEZ

The following cable was received this morning from Valdez by the Gateway. It may be stated that it was sent as press news and the Gate way had to pay for it although it is plainly a message intended to boost the candidacy of Mir. Cobb. How ever, it is published here as it comes, word for word. It is as follows:
 VALDEZ, Sept. IA. - Campaign opened at Valdez. Hon. John H. Cobb, chief counsel for the Territory and a candidate for the office of at
 torney general, at the November elec- tion, held a rousing political meeting at Valdez Thursday night. He fully explained to the people his efforts in securing judgments against the large cannery and mining companies which had netted the Territory over three hundred thousand dollars to date and would eventually place in the Terri torial treasury over one-half million of dollars for appropriation by the next Territorial Legislature. Judge Cobb was given hearty reception by the people of Valdez and he wSll re- ceive a large vote in the Third judicial division of Alaska as an endorse ment for his faithful and efficient work on behalf of the people of the Territory. He closed his interesting and eloquent address by just and glowing tribute to Governor Strong.

LOSE FIGHT TO
 PREVENT JUNIOR
 B. H. s. BUILDING
Linwood Avenue Residents Receive Setback By De-
 cision of Judge Gager.

Linwood avenue residents who sought to prevent the erection of the new Junior High school in that street received a setback today when Judge Gagev of the superior court handed down a decision refusing to grant an injunction restraining the city from proceeding with the construction of the school.
 In his memorandum Judge Gager said it had been shown that the erection of the school was an immediate neces- sity. He said the rigf-ts of the plain tiffs would be fully protected for they could bring individual suits against the city if they claimed their property had been damaged by the presence of the school. Inasmuch as neighboring property owners had adequate remedy at law he did not tllin.- an injunction should be issued.
 The petition for an injunction was filed by Joseph Barratt, Jesse Lund Louis Luhd and other Linwood avenue property owners. They claimed that when the property was purchased from A. J. Middlebrook there was clause in the deeds stating that no structures housing more than three families should be erected. Their claim was that the building of pub lie, school violated this clause. They declared the school would decrease property values and keep light and air from neighboring houses

BIJOU THEATRE

Commencing Monday and continu- ing Tuesday and Wednesday, there will be shov3n at the Bijou theatre a daring photoplay, "The Unborn, (which deals with a universally discussed subject, Birth Control" As the title implies this screen version of George Eliot, Jr.'s, drama dwells upon the fate of the millions of unborn babes that never see the light of day. The treat ment that is accorded the theme by means of this picturization is bold and almost brutal, because of the lat itudes afforded yet the authors are careful not to offend the sensibilities.
 Birth control heretofore has been spoken of only behind closed doors, but its practices have now reached such stage that newspapers through out the country have taken up the subject and are devoting much space to its discussion There is a vital moral leson taught in ''The Unborn and 1t is a matter of record that high officials of women's clubs and welfare societies encourage mothers and fath- gre to take their sons and daughters when over 16 years of age to witness its revealments. There will be four performances daily, at 2:30, 3:;45, 7:15 and o'clock.
