The story of the stranding of the Silver Wave on the kotZcbue mud flat was nothing very sensational. The vessel landed thereon when about to make the channel into KCtzebue It became a violent storm immediately and they could do no- thing. When it abated some they hove the boat off, but again had to pull her on when the storm started to blow Violently again as they were thus free from breakers. This had to be repeated three different tiraes but on the fourth day they got finally of and went towards kotzcbue where the fates were still untoward the Silver Wave grounding upon the bar in the channel, putting their rudder out of commission. They rigged up a jury rudder and finally got in and hauled the schooner out at the can nerv to make repairs. This was not quite so easy as it looks as there had to be considerable hauling and had onlv one line of inch circum- ference to do 1t with.

LOCAL ITEMS.

Reports coming from the hills by mushers who have travelled ovCI those sections of road which the Alasya Road Commission has been engaged Tn building this summer are all very favorable. Mushers are loud in thcir praise for the work that has been dore, some which was of somewhat difficult construction.
 Although there hes been no word received as to the probable arrival of Judge Fuckers successor, Judge Holsheimer, it is not improba ble that if the latter comes in time be- fore the departure of the Bear, Judge Tucker may leave for the Outside on the Coast Guard boat.
 The Silver Wave arrived yester. cay morning with the following passengers; From kot7ebne: Mrs. White and three children, Al nc npSCn' Al berger HoPeIl MdI tel, Geo Stanley and Sig A1onson.

all aliens regardless whether citi- zens or subjects of enemy powers, which are resident in Germany, to take up arms for the Central Pow CTS is stirring up considerable in dignation. It is pointed out that the American decision to draft aliens carefully excluded enemy aliens from military service. The Germans will make no such dis crimination in the purpose of the draft.

DO YOUR BIT,

President Wilson appeals to the ma
ton to unite in acts to win victory.
THE supreme test of the nation has
come. We must all speak, act, and
serve together!" I'VE are fighting for
what we believe and wish to be the
rights \of mankind and for the future
peace and security of the world. To
do this great thing worthily and sue
cessfully we must devote ourselves to
the service without regard to profit or
material advantage, and with an en-
ergy and intelligence that will rise to
the level OF the enterprise itself"
To farmers, he says make your land
produce more and work together with
others in the sale and shipping OF your
products. To men. and boys, go to the
farms and help cultivate and harvest
the vast crops we must have. To mid
dlemen, take only small profits and or
ganize and expedite shipments.
To railway men, see to 1t that moth
ing binders swift and ready shipment;
keep in order 'the arteries of the ma
tons life" To merchants, take small
profits ana give quick service. To
shipbuilders, speed your work, for sthe
life of the war depends upon YOU" To
miners, if you "slacken or fail, armies
and statesmen are helpless"
To manufacturing men, speed and
perfect every process" for the nation
must have your best service. TO gar
deners, make and plant gardens and
you can help greatly to solve the prob
lem of feeding the nations" To house
wives, avoid waste and extravaganza
TO editors and advertising agencies,
send this appeal to as many readers
as possible.

STOCKS ADVANCE.

New York, June 23.-The Times says;
Stocks continued their gradual adj
vance in a market left generally to
professional element. The list was
rather dull, the public apparently being
out of the market while so many UNI
certaintfes remained. The undertone
was good but good floor traders char
acterized the market as being so thin
that it needed only small increase In
the buying demand to put prices up or
q small sized bear drive to bring them
down. The steel companies are to be
given an opportunity to agree among
themselves on prices that they consid-
er fair to both industry and the gov
eminent 1t is hoped that their quota
tions will prove acceptable to the COM
mission without any drastic cut. There
are so many factors entering into the
prevailing war time prices that 1T
would require a most exhaustive study
on the part of the outside agency to
determine what proportion of the in
crease is necessary by higher cost of
labor, pig iron, coal and coke.
