ANGUS CHISHOLM
 TAXES OWN LIFE
FOUND DEAD IN HIS BEDROOM
We'll Known Business Man Found This Afternoon With His Throat Cut-Had Been Dead for Nearly Twenty-Four Hours.

Bathed in his own blood, and with his throat cut from ear to ear, the body of Angus Chisholm, one of the pioneer business men of Valdez, was found in his room over the Senate sa- loon about 2 o'clock this afternoon He had been dead for some hours
 So far as can be learned there was no cause for the rash act, nor had signs that such an act was contem- plated. He had not been in the best of health for some tine past, but his ailment was not of such character as to lead to despondency.
 Yesterday noon MT. Chisholm, who was interested in the Senate saloon, relieved Sam Jenson while the latter went to dinner and on MT. Jensen's return he sat in his office for time and then went up to his room over the saloon. He was apparently in his usual jovial mood and m' de no ref erence to feeling badly or that he contemplated the rash act. AS he frequently kept to his room for 24 hours at time, nothing was thought of the fact that he did not come down stairs this morning.
 About o'clock MT. Jenson re- ouested J. D. Hamilton to go up to Chisholms room and see if he did not wish something to eat On en- tering the room Hamilton was hor- rified to find Chisholm covered with blood and gaping wound in his throat. He immediately gave the alarm and Doctors Boyle and Silver man were called in. An examina- tion by these physians led to the dis covery that the body was cold and that the victim had been dead for probably "A hours, indicating that he few minutes of the time he went to his room. On the bed. by his side, was a razor, covered with blood, giv- ing evidence as to the weapon em- ployed.
 MT. Chisholm had been a resident of Valdez for number of years, dur ing which time he had gained wide circle of friends and acquaintances. Of most amiable disposition, he al ways had a smile and a pleasant word for everybody, and is probably the last man in Valdez who would be ex- pected to take his own life. For sev- eral years past he has been engaged Ter in the Senate saloon.
 MT. Chisholm was born in Nova Scotia, and was about 45 years of age. He was unmarried.

CHAMBER WORKING
 0N MAIL SERVICE
COMMITTEE GATHERING DATA Will Make Determined Effort to Se- cure Summer Service Between Here and Fairbanks and Yearly Service to Sound Points.

The Valdez Chamber of Commerce held a meeting in the city hall last evening, and considerable business of importance to the community vas taken up.
 One of the most important actions ty the Chamber was the appointment of a committee to secure data regard ing the Interior and Sound mail ser vices. This committee, consisting Of W. N. Cuddy, J. c. Martin, E. E. Ritchie, and H. H. Jones, were in structed to gather and forward to the postoffice department all the neces- szry data regarding the necessity fer the establishment of mail services from Valdez to various sound points and to the Interior, and to consult vth prospective bidders as to the f4 bbable cost of handling the, mail on these routes.
 The activity of the Chamber along these lines was stimulated by letter from Chief Clerk of the mail service, Alvah Flames, to Postmaster Todd. in which he states that in due time the emergency service for the summer of 1917 will be advertised for handling a limited amount of mail from either Chitina or Valdez to Fairbanks, the service to be performed by auto. The service will be advertised from both Valdez and Chitina. but one route will be selected. He asks for sugges- tions regarding the running time, pe- riod of service, weight of mail, ire quency of service and class of mall to be handled. The committee will gather such data as is asked for and such other as may be advisable to pro- mote the interest of Valdez in the proposed route and service.
 kThe data to be gathered and sub mitted to the department for the Sound service will be for the purpose of securing if possible, regular mail service between Valdez and points in Prince William Sound. It is believed that a showing can be made to the department which will result in re- sumption of this service, which for several years was in operation, but which was dropped by the department two or three years ago. At the pres ent time there are more persons to be served by such a service than at any time in the history of the Sound, and a determined effort will be made by the Chamber to have the service again established.
