THORNTON LEAVES FOR
 SOUTH AMERICA

Joe Thornton, who lost both his hands by amputation, after they had been badly frozen last winter, left for Oakland on the Spokane last night, Jack Anderson hay ing proffered his services to the unfortunate man as far as Seattle
 Mir. Thornton will go at once to Oakland for the purpose of being fitted with artificial hands, the ones which were ordered upon ar rival here, being found very un- satisfactory, and he will go to the company who made the hands in Oakland and remain there until he is fitted properly.
 After he has been fitted with new hands, Joe will leave for New York, and then sail for Buenos Aires, where he has a brother who tele- graphed money for the trip, and the unfortunate man will in future make his home in the South Am erican metropolis.

RASTUS DIDN'T KNOW
 HIS OWN NAME

Hello, Ed" greeted a man over the desk of the Golden North ho- tel in saluting Ed. Foreman, upon the arrival of the train Tuesday night. Hello, there," answered Ed. q don't believe you know me-" said the stranger. Your face looks familiar, but l don't know your name," answered Rastus. You don't, eh? Well you ought to for it's Foreman" said the stranger, and the two brothers, after a separ- ation of almost twenty years fell on each others neck and embraced as real brothers should.
 MT. J. H. Foreman came to the northland about 23 years ago, and since that time he has followed up all the big stampedes throughout the width and breadth of the great north. For the last eight years he has been located in the Iditarod country, and has come out to see the great white lights. He will re- main here for some time before go- ing on to the states.

PROCLAMATION
 BY GOVERNOR
tContinued from page 1.)

Incorporated towns or local governing authorities do everything within their power in the way of co-opera- tion in the celebration of Librety Day to the end that nothing hu- manly possible shall be left un- done in arousing the enthusiasm and support of the people of Alaska in, the great struggle for the surViV- al of Democracy in which our Ma tion is engaged.
 The people of Alaska are patrio- tic and their devotion to Republic an institutions has been proved by their acts many times and now they are expected to act well their part in the present grave crisis which confronts the Nation.
 Lip service is of little avail in time of trouble; action Is needed, instant and complete, and the belief is expressed that our people will not fail in the great duty which they now owe to the government which represents them ill the conflict be- ing waged between the forces of Hu manity and Freedom against those of autocracy and oppression, re- member liberty will not perish from the earth if Americans do their full duty. Given under my hand and the seal of the Territory of Alaska in Juneau the Capitol this seventeenth day of October in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred aIG seventeen and of the independenc of the United States the one hund- rde and forty second. (Signed) J. F. A. Strong"

The s. s. Spokane arrived in this port last night shortly after seV- en o'clock, the delay in reaching here being occasioned by the ship having run into a hard snow storm which made navigation hazardous, and the further fact that she call ed into the Vogel cannery for a large shipment of salmon.
 She cleared from this port for the south at nine o'clock, with a capacity passenger list, taking from here TO passengers, includ- ed in the list being the contingent of 50 soldiers who were enroute to various military stations in the States after putting in the past three years in Interior Alaska.
 Having taken on her cargoes of salmon north bound, the Spokane will sail direct for Seattle, stop ping only at regular ports of call.
