PRIZE OFFERED

The Prospector received the fol- lowing letter from Seward this morn ing. which is highly interesting If we knew what it was about. The writer says:
 After a thorough perusal of your publication of January 26. we wish to compliment you upon the splendid manner in which the paper is gotten up. The many items of telegraphic news, local news, etc., are very in- teresting, particularly the two arti- cles of the ninety-eighters, and Doing in Valdez in 1s1s"; Holiday season.) We might add, however. that in some cases. you deal quite strongly with the "Bolsheviki."

THE PUMP THAT FAILED

DID you ever hear of the Valdez fellow who sent to SqueersSawbuck for a pump? Well, he received 1t all right, and for time he chuckled over the idea of his neighbor paying a dol lar more for his pump at the local stores. One day this mans imported pump got out of order. He sent out to the catalog house for repairs, and borrowed water for three weeks from the neighbor he had tagged as fool ish for trading at home.
 He received his parts by the last boat, and there was some mistake in the order or carelessness on the part of a shipping clerk, for the parts do not fit, and he will be forced to send them back, and again borrow water from his neighbor who trades at home.
 Six weeks time wasted to save dollar. The woman of the house must be saving with water. and a general spell of bad temper hangs over the once happy home.
 Had the man bought his pump at home in the first place he would have had the parts in place an hour after the old water wagon stopped run ming.
 There are lots of fellows buying pumps in Valdez today. Men who wonder why they never get farther ahead than their neighbor altho they work as hard and try to save every nickel.
 The reason is that they are trying to lift themselves by their bootstraps. They are trying to make living in one town and build up another. They are tearing down their own payroll and the money which should come back to them is lost forever.
 A dollar is not much money. Some times it appears not worth more than 25 cents on the dollar, but if spent at home it will pay a thousand dol lars worth of debts in time. If sent outside it pays one dollars worth of the mans debts who sends 1t outside.
 But remember the man with the pump. and BUY AT HOME.

GETTING INTO THE WAR

Gradually we are getting deeper into the worlds red war. Our en- trance is different from that of most of the other beIligerents. Instead of being thrown pcll nell we are edging in by degrees. The ability of the other allied nations to hold the enemy and even to make progress against him make it possible for the United States to prepare fully before it engages the foe.
 There was a thrill some months ago when it was announced that the Am erican troops had entered the trenches for training. This was repeated with the announcement just made that our troops have occupied a sector of the French front in Lorraine. number of casualties have been sustained dur ing the training period-though in reality they were insignificant so far as numbers go-but it may be assur- ed now that the casualty lists will be- come longer weekly. We are shortly to have half a million men in Francs. and that means that when the spring drive opens a considerable percentage of these troops will be on the firing line.
 However. there is comfort in know ing that our army will not bs hurled against the seasoned Germans un- trained. In addition to the training obtained in this country they will be given battle practice behind the lines and then trained in the trenches. Sir Douglas Haig, generalissimo of the British forces, recently said that con- plete training was absolutely essent- ial and the same view has been taken by General Pershing. The great disas- ter suffered by the British at Mons will be spared the American forces.
 It is gratifying to know that Persh- ing's men will be assigned to sector of their Own-that there will be an American sector-rather than distri- buted among the armies of the Brit ishand French as filters of gaps. II will stir the national pride to know that our men will fight as a unit.

OUR SHIPPING PROGRAM

One of the most discouraging de- lays in our war program has been our failure to measure up to our own standard in the construction of ships with which to meet the inroads of the U-boats. To date the country has not accomplished what it could accom- plish if it were 100 per cent efficient
 or even less by B per cent.
 Fortunately. some headway has been made. The everlasting personal quarrels which have handicapped con- struction have not completely para lyzed the national energy. But there are grave doubts that the shipping board will be able to carry out it's program calling for the construction of 6,0OO,000 tons of new shipping this year. Most of our tonnage access sion in the past has come from the seizure of enemy vessels and the communicating of those already building in this country. In the fu- ture nothing but new tonnage will count.
 It was realized when we entered the war that our most important single contribution to the allied cause would be to supply the need of what Lloyd George called ships, more ships and yet more ships" A state ment of Sir Eric Geddes, British first lord, made few days ago. diplomat ically urges us to speed up our pro- gram.
 " Ships and yet more ships," he said. lis still the most important corollary of the war. How far can we rely on American efforts for these ships? I have no doubt the United States will do it's utmost but I want to urge again the vital importance Oi it's merchant shipping program. When we first asked the United States fol ships there was a quick response. In no way can the United States helI more than by building ships. Is she succeeding? Is she throwing her best brains and energy into it? It is g worthy contribution to our great cause l hope she is."
 Sir Eric Geddes knew, as we know that our best brains and energy are not exercised in the production of merchant bottoms. It is with a sense of humiliation that the people of this. country must confess the fact but our ship building program has been the least efficiently and the least successfully managed for our various activities. Where the biggest results were called for the smallest have been attained.

T HE TOWN OF VALDEZ
 is situated at the head of
 Prince William Sound, and is city of probably one thou sand population. It is the center of the mining industry on the Sound, both copper and gold. and is adjacent to and within easy hauling distance of the salmon grounds, many fresh water rivers and streams in Valdez Bay bring ing the fish in great numbers to within sight of the town. The city has one good cannery, which will operate two lines the coming season, employing probably one hundred and fifty persons.
 The city offers good opportuni. ties for fish saltery, a fertilizer factory, a glue factory, tin can factory and a box shook factory, all subsidiary to the fish packing business. The city owns its own wharf and the Valdez Dock Com pany, which also owns a splendid wharf is willing to give prospec- tive investors a chance for sites.
 VALDEZ has a progressive citizenry. with good high schools, churches, free reading room and library, good clubrooms and many lodges and organizations. Rents are very cheap, and living is but little higher than in the Statess
 Many gold and copper mines are contiguous to Valdez, making this city their quitting port, and drawing from its reserve of labor. The climate is very healthful the extremes of heat and cold being rarely experienced. The mercury rarely falls below -ls in the win ter and 70 above is the highest summer temperature. The sum- mers are delightful and the win ters far better than those of the Northern Central or Eastern States.
 VALDEZ is the coast terminal of the government military high way to the Interior. During the summer months autos may reach Fairbanks from Valdez in 36 hours running time, over . fine road. through the most magni6- cent scenery on the North Amer ican continent. In winter teams or dog sleds may be had at all times.
 VALDEZ has a number of first class hotels and restaurants, and the traveller and miner can be as- sured of comfortable lodgings a minimum expense. Parties de- string to outfit for mining or pros pecting can do so sr our stores far cheaper than in the States, with men of experience to help se- lect their outfits.
