they are saying shocking things atout

THE GREATEST GOOD.

A communication signed bys Tax payer, in last weeks Forty-Ninth Star says: Now is the greatest chance that the people of Valdez ever had to settle petty differences that have kept this town agog and in a turmoil for years; that opportunity lies in annexing the waterfront of the town"
 Taxpayer may be right, but it will require considerable stretch of the imagination to find out how taking the waterfront into the town will set tie squabble that started many moons before there was the slightest agitation to absorb that section.
 Taking in the waterfront will not settle personal animosities which have been a fertile source of strife, nor will adding to the limits of the town bring about feeling of broth erly love for ones enemies. In fact, it will but add to it, for if the tide flats are voted into the town it will mean endless lawsuits at the city's ex- pense over the right of Jurisdiction over land owned by the war depart ment; and taken into the city with out it's consent. (The fact that the city does or does not alter the status of ownership.) After the expense of survey, court costs and election costs the question will be as far from solv- ed as it was when our late lamented council passed its brilliant ordinance barring steamship companies the right to land anywhere but at their direction.
 it can be accomplished by each one forgetting the grudge he may have against his neighbor and turning to and working for the common good. Perhaps if you do your share to build up the town you will find your SUD- posed enemy is as interested in it's growth as you are, and that he is working side by side with you for the good of the community. By forget ting your spite against the individual and showing your good will toward the whole people, and by this means only, can the people be brought to- gether and peace restored. The great est good to the greatest number can be secured when the greatest number are working for that good, and when this is accomplished things must right themselves.

THE ALAMO.

The Alamo, one of the most cele- brated buildings in the world today, on account of the brave defense of a handful of Texans, during the strug- gle for Texan independence in 1s35-6, stands in the town of San Antonio de Bexar, in western Texas. Formerly built for a mission, it's walls were thick and strong, although but eight feet high.

| After several minor skirmishes be- tween the Texas patriots and the Mexican troops, one morning in Feb- ruary, 1886, Santa Ana, the famous Mexican general, appeared in the vi- cinity of San Antonio with strong force of over a thousand men. The Texans retreated into the strongest place in town at the time, which hap pened to be the old mission, and sent messenger out for achievements to Col. Fannin, at Goliad, who started to their assistance with force of 300 Texicans, but owing to the break ing down of the wagon containing the munitions and supplies of the lit ! tie party, was forced to return to Goliad.
 | Col. w. Barrett Travis, in command of the Texans, after second appeal for assistance, fortified the Alamo with eight pieces of artillery, all he had at the time, and upon a sum- mons to surrender from Santa Anna, whose forces had increased to over four thousand men, replied with a shot from one of the siX-pounders, and unfurled the Lone Star Flag of Texas to the breeze. Thirty-two men managed to get through the Mexican lines and joining Col. Travis force, making a total of 1SS defenders for the improvised fortress.
 Early the next morning the Mexi cans charged the small band of de- lenders with scaling ladders. but were met with so bloody fire that they were forced to retreat in disor- der. Out on the plains Santa Ana re- formed his troops and threatening to shoot any man who retreated, the MeXicans again charged in over- whelming numbers. Ladders were the low walls and the attacking par ty swarmed into the enclosure. The Texans, whose rifles had been render ed useless by the hot fire, with no chance to clean them, were beaten down and killed to man.
 Davy Crockett, the celebrated from tiersman and rif1e-shot, Col. James Bowie. inventor of the famous knife which bears his name. and duelist of note even in those parlous times; Col. Travis, and a dozen other we'll known plainsmen were killed in this historic battle. The only persons saved were Mrs. Dickinson, wife of one of the defenders. and her child, negro servant, and two Mexican wom- en.
 One hundred and eighty-eight Americans held off the flower of the Mexican army for two days, inflicting a loss of over five hundred killed and fifteen hundred wounded, and were only defeated by cutting them down to a man. Like the old Spar tans at Thermopylae, they did not re- treat or ask for quarter, but died as they lived-without fear and leaving behind them a record which will en- dure so long as the deeds of brave men are told in song or story.
 Col. Fannin, commander at Goliad, was afterward besieged by Santa Ana at that place, and with his 400 men, surrendered to the Mexicans upon promise of being treated as prison CTS of war. They were disarmed and taken out on the prairie and killed to a man.
