WIRELESS ORDER IS PRACTICALLY
 RESC|NDED

Captain Fred Warner. of the steam. CT Alaska, brought word that the re- cent orders of the navy department with regard to the use of the wireless within the three mile limit. have been modified by more recent order. which permits the use of the wireless within the three mile limit in case of necessity or accident.
 According to the latest orders of the government, radio apparatus may be used within the three mile limit Tor the transaction of urgent busi. ness or in case of emergency or accj dent. However. all messages must be submitted to the commander of the vessel before they are sent.
 vessels plying on Alaska inside passage routes, which are at all times within the three mile limit, will be permitted to use their wireless appar- atus for the transaction of urgent busi- ness. Merchant craft on other routes must not use their wireless apparatus within the three mile limit except in case of accident and in reporting the presence of enemy submarines off the coast.
 The antenna need not be taken down as at first ordered, but must be dis connected from the apparatus and the wireless room sealed by a government official when the vessel arrives in port. The seals must not be broken until after the vessel sails.

HISTORY OF ALASKA TO
 BE ENACTED IN FILMS.

Judge John B. Marshall, formerly United States commissioner, and Fla. ther A. P. Kashevaroff, the priest of the Russian church at Juneau, have written a historical romance founded on the Russian occupation of Alaska, and its taking over by the United States, and arrangements have now been made with a great film com pany to produce 1t.
 The company's representatives, players. etc., will arrive within three weeks at Sitka, the old capital where many of the scenes of the romance have been laid, to begin the work. The scenario has already probably been written and the way is clear.
 The story tells of the arrival of Baranoff, the Russian governor, the fighting with the Indians in most ro- mantle surroardtnSa, snc-iovA x na. ranoff for the daughter of the In dian chief, his marriage to her, the arrival of Governor Razanoff, and his trip to California, his romance with the daughter of the Spanish governor, the coming of the Americans to Alas ka, the raising of the Starry Banner, the rivalry of two young American officers for the hand of the beautiful and aristocratic Russian girl, their re, sulting duel and the death of the one chosen by the girl, the final tragedy of her life and many other absorb. ingly interesting incidents.

APPOINTMENT IF. OFFICIALS |S
 HELD UP I

| All federal appointments, which in clude J. NJ. Tanner for marshal and Robert w. Jennings, for federal judge, are held up in the senate. The ap- | pointment of Tanner is held up by a protest from the prohibition people of the territory, but will probably be ad- justed very shortly. All the other re- appointments and new appointments will be gone over with fine comb before being affirmed by the senate. As a result of the Tanner delayed confirmation telegrams have been for warded from Juneau and elsewhere urging his confirmation. The follow ing telegraphic correspondence be- tween Marshal Tanner and Rev. Ped erson, of Skagway, gives the newly ap- pointed marshals opinion on the en- forcement of prohibition laws. which was the cause of the protest against his confirmation by the prohibition people of the territory.
 The telegram from Rev. Pederson to MT. Tanner was as follows:
 Present appointment frankly causes much concern among dry vot- CTS. Christian fairness to you and Golden Rule suggests you be given opportunity to declare your attitude toward enforcement of present liquor laws, and those effective next Janu- ary, as we'll as kind of men contem- plated for appointments. Sixty-two per cent dry vote of all Alaska is ex- pression not to be ignored. Am act ing independent of any group or or ganization and ask permission to use your reply as I see fit Specific re- ply by Monday evening appreciated.
 L. H. PEDERSON."
 The Reply of Tanner.
 Replying to your wire. will state: My attitude in regard to enforcement of present liquor laws and those to become effective later is as follows:
 All liquor laws and all other laws will be enforced to the best of my ability. My deputies will be appointed from men who will see that the laws are enforced No deputy will be re- tained in office who does not bend his best efforts for tfs- enforceynent Of all laws. AS senator I voted to bring it before the people; they decided by their ballots in no uncertain terms against the liquor traffic The law or laws bearing upon this matter will be enforced by me and deputies. The people of Skagway did not deem it dangerous to give me two hundred and eight votes to represent them in the senate last fall as against sixty-two for my opponent, and one-hundred and sixty-eight dry votes. 1 have received many telegrams of congratulation throughout the division from all par ties. I have been endorsed in strong testimonials from two bishops, min isters and some of the strongest tenn perance persons in the district. By the judge, district attorney, city councils of three towns, bar association, mem bers of the supreme court, members of the legislature and leading citi- zens. I see no reason why any person from my own town should think l would be unfaithful to my trust.

How Much Does Your
Country Mean to You?

Put the question straight up to
Yourself in these hours when your
country is fighting to make the world
safe for democracy-safe for your
country, your home and you.
You answer in your subscription
to the Second Liberty Loan. By the
ready warmth of your response, you
measure the depth of your love for
your country, and your gratitude for
the comforts and advantages its de-
mocracy gives you.
Picture what your life would be
in a country bereft of freedom; pic
ture what you might be, had it not
been for the opportunities u land
of liberty gave you; picture the future
Of your child in the grip of the iron
fist; put the question to your mind and
sum up what your country means to
YOU in sentiment and self-interest; for
all that strikes at your country strikes
at you and your home.
Then proclaim your answer in the
buying Of all the Liberty Bonds you
can.
Buy until the buying pinches. The
world offers no better investment.
Your dollars will be fighting for your
country, and storing up an income for
your home.
Go at once to your bank and buy.
