 At Nome F contacts from the steamship Victoria are being isolated There is no uncontrolled influenza at Nome.
 Spanish influenza under control These cases all were taken off yes sels arriving in Juneau. It does not appear that there arc any known cas- es of Spanish influenza in Juneau although there are a number of cases of what is probably ordinary influen ga. The Mayor of Juneau and the Governor are working in perfect har mony on all quarantine measures | and public announcement will be made if danger of an epidemic ap pears. At the first appearance oi danger to the public health. all in door meetings will be forbidden in,
 
 cluding theatres, schools, churches, etc.

init the Territory to have control over the subject were the principal steps in the right direction. He de- clared that as far as details are con cerned, he had sent his bill out and had written letters asking for suggestions. It was his plan that these suggestions would form a basis for the discussions that would take place before the House Committee on Marine and Fisheries.
 Temperance Question
 Delegate Sulzer declared that he had done nothing to cause the re- opening the prohibition question in Alaska, and that he would do noth- ing for that. He called attention to the fact that he had favored prohi- bition, and was member of tbe Leg islature that had submitted it to the people, and voted for it.
 Wickersham Against Home Rule
 Delegate Sulzer showed that Judge Wickersham had been opposed to Home Rule for Alaska. He proved it by reading documents that showed that Wickersham had claimed that he tried to write the Organic Act so that the Territorial Legislature could not give themselves an honest cleo tion law because, he claimed, he was afraid the people would destroy themselves if they had the power. He showed how in certain sections of the Territory uneducated Natives, Natives who could neither read nor write and who admitted through an interpreter that they lived in tribal relations and acknowledged the au- thority of tribal chiefs, had been fixed" and voted in droves for Wick ersham in various elections, and that desired to make it easy to continue such election frauds.
 He showed that Wickersham had declared that he wanted for Alaska less power than any other Territory ever had, and that he wanted the powers of the people so limited that they could not use it for or against themselves.
 The Delegate showed up the fallacy of Wickersham's contention that the resolution doing away with assess ment work on mining claims for 1917 and 1918, and showed that his dec larations on that subject were doing the country a great deal of harm, and causing a great deal of indigna- ton in places where there is so much actually necessary work needed
 Fighting the Administration
 He denounced Wickersham for talk ing patriotism in one breath and then endeavoring to discredit the Governor of the Territory and the Territorial Courts in the next, and in doing all that he could to bring the administration of President Will son into contempt. He praised Gov. Riggs for doing all within his power to aid in the development of Alaska.
 Speech splendidIy Effective
 Delegate Sulzer's speech here has been splendidly effective. It con vinced the people that they have a hard working, able and effective Dele gate in Congress. Citizens in all the walks of life have complimented the speech. and all agree that it had an excellent effect in clearing away the chaff and making people see AL aska and Alaskan matters from broader viewpoint than ever before. Many citizens said. Slippery Jim

MARY PICKFORD
 AT THE LYCEUM

Hundreds of people who heretofore
 never really understood why Belgium
 although a weak combatant in the
 great war that is now sweeping Eu-
 rope and into which thousands of
 American boys have rushed, is &C.,
 credited with being with France the
 greatest sufferer from German cruel ties, received a. clearer idea of what German atrocities are, the past two days, by viewing The Little Anerf- can," Mary Pickford's latest motion picture offering. at the Lyceum the- ater.
 Whenever tales of wrongs com mitted by the Germans during their initial drive through Belgium and into
 France until stopped by Joffre at the Marne drifted back to this country, as they did in 1914, they were re- ceived with a considerable degree of scepticism No civilized people such as the Germans could do such things, the popular verdict declared. The sanctity of a woman would never be trampled so such a. degree, nor would lust of destruction overcome a peo- nle like the Germans were said to have been.
 But now, all that has changed. America is in the war, and we are ready to believe anything of our ene- mics. When we realize that cap- ! tured American boys have had their
 throats cut is it not just as easy to
 believe that those same Germans or
 their fellow-countrymen would com-
 init robbery, rape. or any other crime
 on unprepared Belgium and France?
 We are forced now to realize the sort of enemy we are combating, and we
 should be anxious to learn just what
 Belgium and France did suffer in
 those early days. No clearer concep
 ton of the incidents of 1914 can be
 secured than through this picture, ac-
 claimed the greatest of this kind. Miss
 Pickford is seen at her best, the story
 is gripping, wonderful, startling; scenic effects are marvelously execut- ed, and there is something back of it all that makes us think. Today is the last day for the great picture, and anyone who has not yet seen it owes

Filled with curiosity to see this room which appealed so much to William, I followed the old chap to the barn and looked in astonishment about the room he called 'an awful nice place. It was a large, low ceilinged attic above the carriage room, with rafters heavy with cob wehs-a room that would be hot in summer and cold in winter, and which, to my eyes, couldn't possibly be used by a human being.
 Why Madge Decides.
 ''Why. William, you could never live in this." 1 said. Tt isn't fit for anyone to live in"
 You ought to see the place I'm stayin' in now,' the old fellow said simply.
 With a quick flash of memory my mind went back to the apartment in which Dicky and I had gone to keep ing house, and the tiny room, nothing more than a. large closet, in which Katie had taken such delight, saying it was such a nice large room to herself after her experience in sleep ing with two or three of her cousin s children.
 Evidently I had much to learn about
 
 Trumbul and his kind. With a quick flash of pity I resolved to give the old chap the room of a home which he craved so ardently, provided l could win Dickys consent to the project. My decision wasn't altogether altru- istic. I knew that I would feel much safer in this picturesque but decidedly lonely home if honest, faithful William Trumbull with his tremen- dous strength and his fighting bull terrier lived in the barn.
 "Ill speak to MT. Graham, William, v I said finally, and if he's willing you can come and try the place for a while, anyway.
 Might jest as well move in right now, Mis- Gramie.'' William said with what he evidently imagined was an ingratiating smile, but which would have struck terror to the heart of any, one who didn't know the real worth beneath the old chaps twisted mus cles. MT. Gramie he do whatever you like, you know
 Nevertheless, I will speak to him about the matter first, William,' I re- turned. Come tomorrow and I will let you know what he says"

 ROUGHS IT AGAIN
Back to the blue shirt!


 William Farnum, in all the manly bravery of the parts the public loves so we'll, is coming to town. Tn "The Heart of a Lion,' the stalwart William Fox star makes his reappearance bringing with him d story of absorb ing interest and excitement
 At Foxs theater. on Sunday, The Heart of a, Lion" will begin a three days run. It is undoubted that all lovers of William Farnum will be un- able to see the photoplay in that length of time; but the print of the picture allotted to this territory is in such demand that no longer engage ment can be played.
 The Heart of a Lion is taken from novel by Ralph Connor called ''The Doctor" MT. Connor, whose real name is Charles W. Gordon. is now a major in the Canadian High flanders. "The Doctor' is one of his best known and most popular works, as are also "Black Rock and The Man from Glengarry.'
 The story of this magnificent pie ture revolves about two brothers Barney Kemper (Mr. Farnum) and Dick Civilian Courteigh, Jr) Dick is a worthless sort of youth who does not awaken to a realization of his own shiftlessness until Barney catches him

 Did you ever have a doctor say tos you that one dearly, beloved to you would perhaps be out of danger in a. week? And did you think How can I wait through that week to know he is safe?" Well, think of the months of waiting which these women face. Did you ever dread the rings of the telephone or the coming of the post man? And they must live with that dread all the time.

 Of course, I don't want you to for get the soldier but I want you to remember his wife and family. Look about you to see if there are any cases of privation on account of the war in your neighborhood. Go out of your way to bring diversion and cheer to those who are not in material want Give them in any way you can the honor that they deserve. Surely nowhere else could honor to whom honor is due be more worthily paid.

pressed a strong prejudice against the old chap, but her aversion to him was as nothing to that of Cousin Agatha. I might be able to win my nother-in- laws consent to the proposition, but I could foresee an endless chain of fault finding and sly verbal pin bricks from the woman whom I so thoroughly disliked.
 Mother Graham's words flashed into my mind. ''Too, bad somebody couldn't break a limb somewhere among Agatha's relatives. That's her one strong point. She's a crackajack nurse'' I mentally echoed the wish, and a moment later was conscious stricken at my own evil thought, as I generally am when I allow myself to give way to petty emotions.
 Katie's high pitched voice scream ing my name startled me. There was a note of terror in the sound that made me run as fast as I could for the house.
