Owing TO the pressure of business,
and our unintentional oversight, we
neglected to mention in our last weeks
issue, the very creditable presentation
OF the "Man From Borneo" i'm the City
Hall Auditorium on May 2eth last, by
the Cloverland Comedy Club, under
the auspices OF the corrigan Mckinney
band. The play was rendered with
great fidelity to life, each character be-
ing portrayed with surprising skill
winch delighted a crowded house for
rover two solid hours.
: Every member of the company de
serves great credit and the cast as a
whole was well balanced. We have
heard only unstinted praise from those
who witnessed the performance, and
every one so far as we can ascertain
received their moneys worth"
We understand the Cloverland
Comedy Club is to be a permanent
organization and we are TO favored
with another laughable comedy In the
near future

SCHO0K LOSES
CASE AGAIN
SUPREME COURT HANDED DOWN
DECISION LAST WEEK
ANOTHER CHAPTER CLOSED
Crystal Falls Man Is Unsuccessful
In Latest Circuit Court
Proceeding

Another chapter in the noted
Schook case has been written.
AS noted in these columns several
months ago, after the decision of the
Supreme Court, reversing the decision
OF the trial court and dismissing the
bill OF complaint, Mr.. Schook, through
his solicitors, attempted to have the
case reinstated in the Iron County
court, for trial on the law side. Judge
Flanagan ruled against Mr.. Schook,
whereupon a mandamus was sought
in the Supreme Court to compel
Judge Flanagan to reinstate the case.
On June first, the Supreme Court
handed down its decision, denying to
Mr.. Schook the writ OF mandamus
which he sought.
In this proceeding, Mr.. Schook was
represented by Attorney Fred III.
Abbott, OF this city, and Attorney
NJ. j. Sherwood, of Marquette. The
defendants, the Estate Of the late
Colonel Zimmerman, railroad magnate
and multimillionaire, Joseph c. Clutts
of Wellston, Ohio, and Spring Valley
Iron Company, were represented by
Attorney Charles II. Watson, of this
city. and Attorney NJ. S. McDonough,
OF Iron River.

STATE is NOT BROKE

Auditor General Fuller says there is
little chance that the state treasury
will be empty at the end of the pres
ent year, as the strong box of the
state now contains a balance OF more
than $5,O0O,0OO, and unless something
entirely unexpected happens there
will be sufficient funds TO meet all ex-
penses during 1916
Some of the county treasurers have
not remitted the total amount Of
their state taxes and he estimates
that there is still $1,OO0.OOO outstand-
ing that should have been paid by

AET'S HAVE A
REAL FOURTH
MASS MEETING WILL Be CALLED
~ EoR TUES. EVENING JUNE 20
y C5MMITTEE SHOULD ACT NOW
Policy of Letting Some One Else
Celebrate For Us ShouId Be
Knocked Out

Will Crystal Falls celebrate the
fourth this year? That's the question
that is being popped by many just
now. We have been approached by
several business men with the same
question and they all want to see
something doing in this city on inde-
psndance day.
With the end in view mass meeting
will be called for next Tuesday evening
June 20, in the city hall auditorium
to get the buiness mems views
on what kind of a celebration TO hold
! this year, If any. The mass meeting
will be called for at o'clock, and
everyone interested are requested TO
be on hand
The Corrigan Mckinney band have
an offer to play at Florence this year
but will not accept until they learn the
results of the mass meeting.
Crystal Falls has been backward for
many years when il comes to putting
on a real Fourth OF July celebration,
and on this day, for many years. back
the streets always presented a very
lonesome appearance. We have the
material here to put up celebration
that would eclipse anything on the
range. We have a band (that can hold
their own with any OF them) TO fur
nish music throughout the day and
our streets and parks are in the best OF
condition for carrying of a big pro-
gram OF sport. There is always some
thing doing for the kids, however,
but nothing in the line OF sports for
the young men and ladies and the
grown ups, who on this day would
either hike to the woods or spend the
day helping some other town cele-
brate.
If we are going TO have real cele-
bration for the old and young alike
it's time right now to get busy and de-
eide on what's going to be done.
Many OF the business men have al
ready expressed themselves as will
ing to donate to the fund II some one
starts the ball rolling. Who will
take 1t up? Crystal Falls is altogether
too big to pass up anything like
Fourth OF July celebration and let
some other town do the celebrating
for us. Some committee should call
on the business men and learn their
views towards making the Eagle
scream louder this year than i'm pre-
vious years Judging from the wages
that are being paid at the present and
every one working this would be
fine year to hold a good big, boosting
celebration. Anyway, which ever way
II goes, we shouldn't forget the kids.

NAY ORE CLIMBS

Statistics on the shipments OF ore
from the ST. Paul docks here during
the month OF May show heavy in
crease over shipments during May.
1915. despite the fact that a shortage
OF vessels was a severe handicap dur
ing the past month.
The figures, as furnished by George
Stoik. the dock agent. are az follows.
May, 1915 .................. 195,074
May, 1916 .,........,.,...,. 3lS,Al
Increase ...............,... 123,l67
That the present season will be a
boom period in comparison TO last
year is demonstrated by the fact that
the shipments from the 81. Paul docks
so far this year are more than half as
much as was shipped during the an
tire season last year. The shipments
from those docks last year amounted
TO 400 900 tons. while in less than a
month and a half this year the ship
ments aggregated 2ls.000 tons.
At the same time. the May ship
ments show a decrease over the April
figures. allowing for tho length OF time
navigation was open in April. Ship
ments from this port in April this year
totalcd Sss.2i4 tons, including both
docks and on April 20 only one boat
had cleared from this port

WICK AN ALARMIST.

IF WICKERSHAM believed the Territory was being robbed by the alleged fish trust why did he wait until election to prefer charges against this colossal combination? If he believed the steamship companies were charging usurious rates why did he wait until the eve of another Congressional campaign to sound the tocsin? Why is our Delegates most strenuous efforts put forth just about the time he needs another $i,500 a year job? The fisheries and the steamships have been operating in the Territory for many years. Why pick cut the present time to throw q bomb into their midst? Wickersham has been in office eight years. What kind of watchman do you consider a man who allows the people to be plum dered" for that length of time ant cries wolf" only when he wishes an- other term of office? Doesn't his line of argument appear pretty thin? We believe it does and we believe the voters of this Division will so consider it. Wickersham is an alarmist of the most pronounced type. He shouts for the watch after his patrons have .othing more to lose.

SOCIALISTS TURN WICK DOWN.

THERE IS dissension in the ranks of the Wickersham men at Anchor age. according to correspondence re- teived by Inc Prospector from the metropolis of the peninsula. Wick orsham has been playing with the So- cialists. He had them all lined up through the policy of Herron's pa pcrs, which even started and is print ing a Socialistic sheet for the alleged Wickersham sheep. But the best laid plans gang aft agley. The Socialists took the promises and the paper at their true valuation, and are lined up like a brick wall for the candidate of their party, Lena Morrow Lewis, who is creating dCfection in Wicke sham's ranks wherever she appears. X brilliant orator, with a winning per sonality. Mrs. Lewis has welded the Socialist votes to her by hoops of steel, and also many Republican votes who were lined up against Wicker sham and yet dislike to vote for the Democratic candidate.
 WickCrsham's managers in Anchor age are deeply disappointed, as they lave been grooming the Socialist vote all summer with the evident eApecta- tion of an avalanche of votes from the communists at the November cleo ton. And yet, an alleged Republican candidate expecting Socialist votes would be an anomaly indeed. The Delegate has nothing to offer the So- cialists that they would not receive threc-fold under either Lewis CT Sul- ger. A Socialist voting any other ticket than a party ticket has never heen known. and probably accounts for their wonderful vote at election time. Wick has been tried by the Independents. the Progressives, tn {, Democrats and the Republicans, and found wanting by each party. His rejection by the Socialists and Labor itcS makes it unanimous.
Valdez daily prospector., 1916-10-31
SOME MIx-UP-wHAT?

THE ANCHORAGE TIMES, avow- edly Republican in politics, is never theless not supporting the Republi- can candidates as a whole. Wicker sham, for reasons long sought for but never ascertained, is receiving the unqualified support of that publica- ton for Delegate, but when it comes to Attorney-General Grigsby, the Democratic candidate is being boosted highly to the detriment of Schofield. the Republican nominee, whose de- feat is being strenuously sought by that paper.
 Frank B. Cannon, a Democratic candidate for member of the Territo- rial Legislature is also being boosted by the Times, while comparatively lit tie in favor of the Republican nomi- nees is being published. The paper does not even take any decided stan1 against Honest John Frame th- head of the Progressive Democratic ticket, and says little for Dooley, the Republican nominee.
 Honest John," with his Forty Ninth Star, is boosting Honest John to the limit, but he appears to be playing for the vote for himself and pays little attention to the rest of the ticket, with the possible exception of Thos. Jeeter for Road Superintendent his own candidate, and it is report. ed that he has a trusty blade in hid ing with which to knife another can uidate on his ticket when the proper time comes.
 The Labor News is apparently part Republican, part Labor and part So, tialist, with no particular political policy.
 Owing to these political mixups and Inconsistencies it is reported that 6 majority of the people of Anchorage are not particularly impressed by any of these organs, and at this time are in a receptive mood, which MT. Sul. ger will find distinctly to his advan. tage.
Valdez daily prospector., 1916-10-31
WHICH IS THE TRUTH?

IN ANOTHER column of the Pro '- pector is a copy of an affidavit made by F. l.. Alstrom, Secretary of the Douglas Island Miners Union. Be tween his statements and those of Ol- son there is a wide variance which cannot be reconciled by any other reasoning than that one of these men has stated an untruth. Which one is the most likely to do so?
 We do not believe there is Union miner in the Territory who will not give the fullest credence to tho state ments of MT. Alstrom, over his sigma ture and attested by the seal of the Union he represents. He is an official of the Miners Union and they know and he knows that the organization is so jealous of it's endorsements that if his statements were untrue it would cost him dearly.
 To become Secretary of this great organization a man must not only be personally popular, but he must have the confidence of his fellow work men, and no man would wilfully sac rifice this confidence to further the political fortunes of any man.
 MT. Alstrom's statements have all been borne out by other evidence, and there is not the slightest doubt in the mind of any thinking man as to where the truth lies.
