In spite of the all too prevalent

In spite Of the all 100 prevalent crltcisIii, It IS aaily DecOIiilng cIed. e that the puUiic Ot Nome are WaninS up Io liIe IaGt that the p4esent chamber ot COn- nierce Is an exceedingly lively bouy ana IS really engasea Tn try Ing 10 uo sonAetnlnS TOT the lin- piovenlent and oeveiopment ot l,.ls seellon ot the terrltory.

 heie are Still many wno are lncnned to Scon at the work Of the chamber Tn the belief that it's projects are based upon nothing at all and will either prove aDor. tive or that they Will gradually lapse into desuetude and finally dle of neglect. They are assur- edly not to be blamed for the opinion for 1t must be admitted that this has been the ultimate fate of practically every move ment along the same lines that has started here in the past. There has at varying times been grand hurrah, an enthusiastic huDbub about one thing or an- other, but all have finally come to naught. Several times we have become very busy in attempts to further some particular project which promised benefits, but all have failed of results, for one req son or another, but most of all because of a lack of sufficient energy to carry them over the rough places to final success.
 However, this time we venture to say, things will be different for the reason that we are dealing with a different set of men, men who have taken a new view uf things and are employing differ ent methods. The Chamber of Commerce is proceeding about its business with seriousness that betokens firm determination to succeed in it's undertakings if success be within the range of human province There is, in sharp contrast with the past, no great noise being made about what is being accomplished and there IS an entire absence of any attempt to advertise what is con templated but the chamber is none the less busy.
 It is sober, serious business and the organization is apparent ly not looking for any fireworks. Perhaps the best proof of this is that the public has not been in- formed of one-ffth nart of the projects that the chamber has heen working on for months. What thev have done are willing to talk about but they are more or less reluctant concerning rranv things contemplated. This. in itself. is excellent evidence that thev are not looking for anything but results. The spirit displayed since the charher was reorraniz- ed some mouths ago has bsea at

TOMORROW IS ELECTION DAY
 IN FAIRBANKS
RESIDENTS OF CITY TO ELECT COUNCIL AND MEMBERS
 OF SCHOOL BOARD.

Tomorrow is election day in Fair banks. Which means that the voters of this city will be given the chance to vote for members of the alder, manic body which will govern the deStinies of Fairbanks for the next year and for a school treasurer and a school director. The election is to be slightly different this year tscm the custom which has pro, vailed at past elections in that the school and city elections take place on the same day Another slight difference is that the mayor is to he elected by the voters in con formance with the law enacted by the last Alaska legislature instead of by the council as in previous years.
 The school director is to be elect d to serve out the uneXplrod time Of r. A. knowIton. who tendered his resigndtion some time ago. The treasurer who is chosen by the voters will be elected for the ful' term of three years provided by law, in place of J E. Moody, the outgoing incumbent of the office.
 But little interest is being taken in the municipal election Onl, one full ticker is in the field, al though two other candidates have Si2niticd their intention to ente: the rae for councilmanic honora. and their names will be on the off, ciaI ballot together with those which are on the completed ticket The fact that names were not properly recorded with the city clerk in time to be placed on the official baIlcr. however. does not deter anyone from making a race for place on the council, as their names may be placed n the ballot by t'.o voter The same is true in the matter of the school election.
 Two separate official ballots will be provided for the vote1s One dates For the mayorship and alder manic honors. while the other will! cOnt3in the names of all Of the car iidatcs for clerk and treasurer of the school board who registered their names with the city clerk in time to have them placed on the official ballot
 The name of Dr, R R Myers is the only one which will appear on the official ballot as candidate for mayor of Fairbanks. The candi- dates for councillor hcnors running on the same ticket as Dr Myers are George Nj. Smith. E. H. Mack, Henry T Ray, John A Mcintosh, R. J. Geis and August Burglin. The name of W. H. Adams will also appear on the official ballot as a candidate for councilman. MT. Ad- ams is running independently. The udIlt Ol MI~. J. II. IlONtS dS q | candidate was also registered with the city clerk during the past week, but it is understood that it has been withdrawn
 There are two candidates for the treasure. ship O. the $ hoo board whose names will appear on the official ballot They are G. E. Beraud and James c Moore. Three are out fo! the school directorship. two of the candidates being women. They are Mrs. J. H. Russell, Mrs Cora N. Hamilton and R. $. Mcdonald, But little more interest is being taken in the school election than Tn the l city election,
 The polls will be open tomorrow from a. m. until 8 D.. m. The polling place will be the city hall. | rnIrD

ARRESTED UNDER SECRET
 INDICTMENTS
ALL ARE CHARGED WITH RAPE AND ARE HELD IN JAIL
 WITHOUT BAIL

The minds of the residents of Fairbanks and vicinity were set at rest early last week when arrests were made ii the five secret in dictments returned by the recent grand jury, in four of which cases Judge Charles F.. Bmnell had pre- viously ordered that the defendant be held without bail. When the order was made by the judge in open court, FairbanksanS generally rightly surmised that the indict ments were for the crime of rape, for four different men are now in jail charged with that crime. The fifth indictment in which the court had ordered that the defendant be given his liberty under bail of 5000, was for the crime of assault with intent to commit rape.
 The defendants in the proceedings are J. P Rose, Alferd Sutton, G. 5. Williams and Edmund CamirEd, the latter being generally known about Fairbanks as Cameron. Tho chief witnesses against them at their trials will be Grace Carey and Laura Herrington, the two young girls, still under 16 years of age who figured prominently in the tri als of W. H. Woodbridge and Dan Callahan, who have both been con victed on like charges. Two indic!- mentS were returned against Sutton who is charged with the crime O. assault with intent to commit rape on the person of Laura Herrington or the bailable offense among the secret indictments.
 Grace Carey is the girl in the Rose case. The indictment against Rose alleges that he committed he crime of rape with her on June l. 1913.
 The Carey girl is also connected with the charges against Williams and Sutton. The indictmeu; against Williams alleges that the crfme was committed on May l, 1913, while that against Sutton likewise alleges that he committed the same crime tIl September l, 1913. Th~ crime of which Camirnd stands accused IS ai'eged to have been committed with Laura IIerrineton oG August i5, 1915.
 All of the defendants Edrn plead cd not gunty" to the crime cAarg- eG They all made thet appearance !, court at ariou5 'ines during tnc past Wee,. when G'murr4rs to [ Q indictments or motions to qdash '.c indictments were brought arto y01lt by their attorneys. And all ,I sajU demUrrerS We oyeTruled and motions denied by JuI"a Eun- nell.
 The trial of Rose is now in pro gress and will probably not be end ed before this evening or tomorrow. He is being defended by Lo4ia K. Pratt. The trial of Sutton oI the rape charge will follow that of Rose. He asked the (p's.t 10 ap- point an attorney for him in both of the cases against him, and s. II. Millwee, d young attorney bEt lately arrived in Fairbark5 from Juneau, was named.
 The trial of the case against Will liams will con next Thomas A Marquam, who defended Woodbridge and Robert Jones. the latter of whom was found not guilty by the jury, Vii defend Williams ". II ..dams has been appointed to defend Cam irnd, whose trial follows that of Williams, The trial of the assault with intent to commit the crime charged against Sutton, will be Eeard last.

gagged in shoveling in the dream. But at any rate he had become ac- climated and had begun to enjoy life as best he could in the surround ings amongst which he had been placed.
 His post ot duty was near tho gate 10 the place and, consequently, he had a good chance to see all who came through the aperture. Some few he recognized as people he had known during his lifetim" in Alaska and others who were friends of bygone days in early day Colorado mining camps and in the Occur DAlenes.
 One day he was working as usual when he happened to notice a Ca miliar looking individual coming through the gates He couldn't place the man at first but finally decided it was Joe Miller, of Fair banks. Naturally he was glad to see anyone from the north, so he started to investigate. Much to his surprise it was District Attorney Roth instead of MT. Miller.

 Billys popularity originates with the ladies For they are all fonG
 of Billy.
 And their friendship for Billy is
 reciprocated, for that matter. That | fact, however does not keep him 1 from looking for new fields of en- deavor or hearts to conquer. Con seuuently, when he happened to be at a masquerade dance recently held
 at Chatanika and saw what ap- peared to be a likely looking dam sel, with "cheechaco' written all
 over her, Billy lost no time in en- gazing dance.
 So when he had danced one dance
 with her he decided that one was
 not enough and that he would like
 to get better acquainted. In the meantime he had made inquiry of the seeming damsel as to her iden- tity, but had met with a polite re- fusal from the lady in the matter
 of divulging just who she might
 be.
 The second dance started and found Billy on the floor with his lady. The music was fast and the dance furious. Suddenly somebody
 got hold of the wig worn by Billy :
 lady. And he. much to his sur
 prise, discovered that his lady love
 was no other than Bendt Johnson the Chatanika barber.
 Then Billy started down the rail
 road track for Little Eldorado, And
 it is stated that he has not been back 10 Chatanika since.
