Anti-Saloon League
Is Getting Very Busy

To All Voters in Codington County:
During my short stay in Watertown
and vicinity, | have talked with quite
a number of voters, democrat and
republican alike, who have not reg
.istered.
This impels me to appeal to all
voters TO visit the office of the town
clerk, and register on or before May
iiste at the county auditors office, and
this must be done before May 18th.
My observation as one of the state
speakers of the Anti-Saloon League,
during the past five months convinces
me that by thorough and systematic
work we shall be able to carry the
state for prohibition by a substantial
majority in the November election.
This will make it necessary that
at least the following officers be Sc
lected, with the utmost care, at the
coming primary, May 23rd:
Members of the legislature, both
senators and representatives.
Sheriff and prosecuting attorney.
The adoption of the prohibitory am
endment to the state constitution
will make it incumbent upon the next
Legislature to enact a wise p%rohibitory
law. To enact this law will require
the best and most conscientious law
yers and temperance men, whom it
is possible to select from every coun-
ty OF the state, and it is hoped that
no county will send a man whose rep
utaticn or record is such that there
can be any reasonable doubt about
his standing, for the most effective
p~rohibitdry legislationL liz. case the
people shall declare for statewide pro
hibition.

WARSAW. Feb. 3. - General yon Beseler, governor of Poland, has is sued a decree according to which that portion of Russia now occupied by the Germans shall henceforth change from the Julian to the Gregorian cal endar, and therefore conform to the standards of a majority of the coun- tries of the world.
 Heretofore Russia and Poland, have gone by the calendar introduced by Julius Caesar in the year 47 B. C.. which varies by 13 days from the Gregorian calendar compiled in the Sixteenth Century, and adopted by most countries in the Eighteenth Century.

PRINCE ASSASS|NATED
 SAYS REPORT

PARIS, Feb. 4. - Cherif Pasha, the leader of the Turkish revolutionists. said today that the official announce ment sent out by the Turkish govern ment to the effect that the heir ap- parent, Yussef Izzedin, had commit ted suicide because of i'll health, was false. Cherif Pasha claimed that he had received secret advices from stating that the young prince had been assassinated by his personal suite at the order of the com mittee on union and order. This com mittee is the managing head of the Young Turks party, and it is asserted that Izzedin had revolted against the direction of the Young Turks, and stubbornly refused to any longer fol- low their advice on matters of state.

ON WAY TO HOLD
 NETTING

Chairman Chasles F. Heron and Committeeman Charles Kennedy, of Candle, and George Irving, of Juneau, were in town last night on their way to Seward to attend the Republican Territorial committee, which will meet at the latter place Monday. George C. Hazelet joined the party, and with the proxies of the commit teemen from Cordova and Chitina, iourneyed to the westward with the politicians.
 The meeting will fix the time and place for holding the convention, which will nominate candidate for delegate to Congress-. national com mitteemen and candidates for both Houses of the Alaska Legislature.
 It is generally understood that Seward will be selected as the con vention city. and the gathering will likely take place early in April. Thus far the only candidate seeking the nomination for delegate to Congress on the Republican ticket is the present incumbent, Judge Wickersham. There was some talk of w. A. Gilmore, of Nome. and Senator Willard, of Valdez, entering the race, but the former has positively declined the honor, and the latter has not as yet thrown his hat in the ring. The friends of Elmer r. Ritchie, of Valdez, are insistent that he be chosen as the national commit teeman.

GERMANY NEXT MOVE WESTERN
 FRONT

LONDON, Feb. 1. - The military observers, writing for the London pa pers are devoting much space to dis cussing the next move of the Teuton forces, now that the object of the drive through Serbia has been accomplished. They practically all agree that the German general staff will now turn it's attention to the western front. They believe that the Teutonic al lies are planning an offensive on an unprecedented scale against the left flank of the allied line in France and Flanders. Germany is said to be pre- pairing to blast her way through to Calais and Dunkirk by the use of strong bodies of infantry supported by enormous masses of artillery. Great guns of the largest calibre have been prepared and tested and are being steadily brought forward to the front by the Germans and placed in posi- tion, who have been working with feverish energy.

ALASKA BREAKS COMMERCIAL
 RECORD

Tn the commercial record breaking period covered by the calendar year 1915. in which the United States made such marked advances industrially and in trade, the territory of Alaska occupies a worthy place and continues in the march of progress toward an important position in the nation" says Customs Collector Pugh, in his annual report, received in last nights mail.
 While it was hoped that the total value of commerce might reach the hundred million dollar mark, the i'm crease of more than twelve millions over last year is gratifying.
 This report treats of commerce and trade, and only by the results shown in the movements of commodities is the extent of production indicated The increased imports, largely con sisting of merchandise from the United States, entered into the mining development of the southeastern and the railroad exploitation in the south ern sections. The increase in exports affects all parts of the territory eX- cept the Yukon valley, the products Of which, consisting mostly of placer gold. have been steadily declining for the past five years. The balance of trade in favor of the territory, gradu- ally increasing with each years re turns, has in 1915 reached value of nearly twenty-seyen millions of dol lars.
 The decrease in value of merchan- disc from foreign ports is largely due to the value of foreign coal consigned to Alaska entered at Seattle, While the figures are not available, it is believed that with this addition the amount would equal that of last year.

SEATTLE, Feb. 1. - The snowstOrm which has tied up all traffic in this city for the past few days came to an end yesterday. The total fall of snow was twenty-nine inches, and a great deal of damage was caused to which caved in because of the tons of wet, heavy snow that col leeted on the roofs. The worst acci- dent occurred when the dome of St
 James Roman Catholic cathedral went down with a tremendous roar The roof and dome went clear to the floor of the building, tearing everything in their way and smashing the pews and church fixtures to small bits. The whole interior of the edifice was wrecked, and the financial loss to the building is estimated at seyenty-five thousand dollars. The only fatality so far reported from the storm was

There are no street cars running, and people living in the outlying sections were compelled to remain at home to- day. None of the railroad lines en-- tering this city are operating trains, and the only telegraph wire still up is that running to San Francisco. Thousands of men have secured em- ployment removing snow, both from the city and from private individuals. The officials of the street department are facing a new problem as the snow

REDMOND MAKES APPEAL IRISH
 RECRUITS

DUTSLIND, Ireland, Feb. 1. - John Redmond, the leader Of the Irish Ma tionalist party in the House of Com mons, addressed d great outdoor meeting here today on the war. He issued a stirring appeal to the young men of Ireland 10 join the army and fight against the enemies of Great Britain and France He told his hear CTS that the very continuance of pro perty interests in Ireland depended upon the success of the allied cause. He assigned as a reason for this statement that under the present az ricultural bill the land was being taken over by the Irish people, and Iandordism abolished, while if Eng land was beaten by Germany, the vic torious Teutons would take away the land from every Irish tenant and di- vide it up among their own nobility. He recited the evidence of good faith towards Ireland shown by the present administration, which had given Ire land home rule, and removed her from the provisions of the compulsory service bill, and asserted that Ire land should respond by sending her manhood into France to defeat the enemies of the empire.

REVENUES THAT TERRITORY

The following summary of the work of the office of the chief counsel for the territory in the collection of re venues was received by the Times in last nights mail
 Back taxes collected

 ments obtained for taxes,

 The back taxes in the first and third divisions have been nearly cleared up. There are a few only against whom suits have to be brought in these two divisions.
 From the second and fourth divi- sions returns and payments have been fairly well made from laundries, tele- phone companies, attorneys, doctors, and automobiles. But very few pay ments, or even returns, have been made by the mining industry. Many operators who. are known to have made large profits have so far not only failed to pay their taxes, but have ignored all letters sent from this of flee demanding a compliance with the law.
 It has so far been the policy of the territorial officers to administer the law in a spirit of fairness and liberal ity. All who in good faith desired to test the law were given the opportun- ity to do so. without being penalized, and those who desired to settle their debts to the territory were allowed to do so, by paying the amount of the taxes and accrued interest. The policy of fairness to all will be con tinued. But it is intended to exact penalties hereafter from all those who have consistently ignored the law and refused a compliance with the provi- sions.
 In some sections there appears to be an impression that the laws passed by the people of Alaska through their legislature are mere jokes, and that they can safely be ignored. Steps will shortly be taken to correct this view
 While with the incomplete data now on hand no very definite statement can be made as to the amount of taxes still due to the territory yet there is enough to safely say that if the revenue laws of the territory are sus- fained by the court of last resort the treasury will have a cash balance on hand when the next legislature meets of not less than $25O,OOO. It may ex- ceed $300,000.
