DON'T FORGET
 BUT REGISTER
Hundred and Seventy Have En- rolled Here-Only Eight
 Days Remain

Only eight more days remain in which men of military age can reg iSter and be within the law. After that date every man between the ages of 2l and 31, not carrying his regis tration card showing his number and name will be subject to arrest, fine and imprisonment.
 There is no doubting the patriotism of local men, for they have not only registered but many are seeking to enter various lines of the service. The only danger is that someone in re- mote camp or out the line may neg lect to register until too late.
 There are registrars at Seward, Roosevelt, Moose Pass, Mile 52 and Kern Creek, so no one should overlook his duty
 The total number enrolled here was 179 at noon.

General changes in marine routes and sea schedules on the North Pacific following the commercial opening of the Matanuska coal fields being contemplated by the shipping interests of countries both sides of the Pa cic which extensive to practically revoutonize sea traffic from North America to the Orient
 The full value of hgh-grade bituminOus coal to the Pacific has not yet been realized here people being too close to the situation to take in its full scope
 An idea can be gained, however, by considering the fact that coal from England and from Virginia is con- veyed by ship ports in every part of the world ncud ing the Pacific Coast and Asia It is at apparent that the shorter haul from Alaska will mean that CTS both sides of the Pacific will avail themselves of this opportunity once the coal is on the market

ANOTHER ANGLE
 U. s. ALLIANCE
Popular Cashier Long Under Stars and Stripes, Is Admitted to
 Full Citizenship

This morning, at U. s. Commis- Sioner Whittlesey's office, another Anglo American alliance was consum- mated, the occasion being the grant ing of final and full American citizen credentials to Harold s. Balderston, popular cashier of the Bank of Sew ard.
 The well-known taker of coin has been in possission of his first papers practically since he cast aside the short coat and "bowler" of his early days in America but his host of friends declare that it was only when our President came to the front and took over the fight that was really getting too hard for King George, and slightly beyond his power to handle, that Mr. Balderston decided it was up to him to celebrate and show his appreciation by taking the final plunge.
 MT. Balderston ably puts it as fol- lows:
 q will always look with pride on the actions of my native England, and while l feel that the advent of the United States in this war only hast ems the inevitable outcome, which will be the complete triumph of the AL lied troops, l feel that l should do all in my power to show President Wilson that l am in the most hearty accord with his actions and to that end have renounced my allegiance to His Majesty and from now on l am an American citizen and jolly we'll proud of it."
 MT. Balderston is the recipient of many good wishes and congratulatory messages today from all sides.

 Manufactured Material

SEATTLE, Aug. 23.-The Central Labor Council voted last night that all lumber mills and camps throughout the Northwest, in which the eight-hour rule is not adopted before September 1st, will be listed as unfair.
 The result will be that union labor will refuse to handle lumber manufac- tured by mills not granting an eight hour day.
 Many of the mills are holding out and the enforcement of this order will cause considerable delay both in the shipyards and at the American Lake cantonment, unless the government intervenes.

Government Weather And Crop Report

serve Gin 1900 during this period was
IL million bushels larger than the pres
ent farm reserve. The farm stock of
oats is also materially depleted, there
having been but two years Gin 1908
and 1909) when the farm stocks of
this grain were lower on March 1. The
stock of barley Is also considerably
lower than that usually remaining on
farms on March 1. The unusually low
volume of the reserves mentioned is
due to comparatively small crops last
year. the uniform high prices which
have prevailed since last summer, and
to a consumption of the feed-stuffs,
corn, oats, and barley, and especially
the first mentioned, which, despite the
high prices, has been comparatively
heavy.

Officers Arresting Him
ARRAIGNED; rs NASTY
Mayor Fines Him $5 And Costs, Send
Ing Him To Jail When He Is
Unable To Settle; Another
Arrest

TWO charges, one for intoxication
and the other for resisting an officer,
faced William Mueller, one of the en-
ployes in the molding room of the G.
6, G. Cooper foundry, when he was
arraigned before Mayor C. A. Mitchell
Thursday evening at o'clock. The
offender was arrested by Patrolman
Taylor on South Main street Thurs
day afternoon about o'clock for be-
ing intoxicated and the second charge
followed his arrest.
Patrolman Taylor spotted Mueller
on South Main street between East
Ohio avenue and Gambler street.
When he attempted to arrest the man,
he was resisted. The officer strug-
gled with him and soon had him down
on his back in the street. Chief of
Police Parker was passing and assist
ed the officer in putting the chain
about Mueller's wrist.
Covered with mud, Mueller was
taken to the corner of Gambler and
Main streets where the patrol was
called from the booth on that corner,
While the trio was awaiting the ar
rival of the patrol, the man struck at
Chief Parker, but was soon quieted by
the chiefs giving him return blow
with his flst-and 1t was no love-tap.
When the patrol arrived, Patrolman
Taylor started to place the drunken
man in 1t, but Mueller braced himself
against the step and it was with diff.
culty-and few more blows from
the chiefs fist-that he was put In
the wagon"
When arraigned Thursday evening
Mueller said that he was employed at
Cooper's in the molding room. The
affidavit for intoxication was read to
him and he acted unconcerned. Later
ne made several nasty remarks.
The mayor fined Mueller So and
costs and, as the man did not have
the price of his liberty, he was com
mitted to Jail to await his arraign
ment on the charge OF resisting al
officer.
One other offender was landed by
the local police Thursday. The charg,
against him was that of being intoxi
