VALDEZ STR0NG : FOR SULZER AS
 NEXT DELECATE:

Down in Valdez. where they take politics seriously and have Tom Donohoe to contend with the year round. pre-primary activities are ap- parently going under full steam. It is also apparent that Candidate Ma honey is not strong with the Valdez club, and Chas. A. Sulzer, delegate from Alaska, has made himself solid with the aforesaid Donohoe and his Democratic club.
 At least that's the way it would strike one. And as further evidence of these facts we append hereto a telegram which was received yester- day evening by The Citizen. The fact that the telegram was paid for at the Valdez end bears out the above opinion. The message follows: March 30, at a. large and en- thusiastic meeting, the Valdez Demo- cratic club unanimously endorsed Hon. Charles A. Sulzer, candidate before the Democratic party for dele gate to congress, and pledged him loyal and earnest support in both the coming primary and the fall election It further condemned the action of Wm. Maloney in announcing himself as candidate for delegate on the ground that Maloney is not act ing in good faith, but is working in the interests of Wickersham, and will endeavor to fraudulently vote electors heretofore affiliated with the Wickersham Republicans in the Democratic primaries. It was fur ther charged that Maloney's politi- cal packers and campaign managers are we'll known Wickersham sup porters, notably Aldrich and Hub bard. Much enthusiasm was arous- ed whenever Sulzer's name was men, toned. His record in congress was reviewed and heartily approved.

0. E. s. DANCE
 FOR YARN FUND
 IS PROGRESSING

Preparations for the dance to be given by Midnight Sun Chapter No. 6, Order of the Eastern Star, are going forward with great dispatch. Those attending may be assured that nothing has been left undone to make the affair one long to be re- membered.
 As a means of diversif1cation from the usual dances that are now in vogue, the committee has arranged for a number of folk dances" that will be entertaining. These dances will be under the direction of Mrs. L. B. Willson, who needs no intro duction as a master of dances.
 As an added attraction there will be a four-minute speech. This fea- ture is also out of the ordinary, as the speaker will be prominent woman of Fairbanks and will be the first appearance of woman four-minute speaker before the pub lie here.
 The price of admission has been fixed at $1.50 per couple, with a charge of fifty cents for extra ladies. This extra charge is made for the reason that every dollar shown on the net side of the affair will be given to the yarn fund and every cent will be made to count in pro. curing the yarn for socks and sweaters.

NO TRAIN NOW

 Due to the indictment weather. the residents of Chatanika are to be isolated from Fairbanks as far as train service is concerned. For sev- eral days the T. V. R. R. has had men engaged in shoveling out the drifted cuts and where the drifts have covered over the track. but to no avail. as the snow is blown back nearly as fast as taken out.
 Finding the weather conditions to be against them. the management of the road has decided to abandon the trips to Chatanika for about ten days, or until the weather is more favorable. The regular run to Gilmore will be kept up. however. and some arrangements made to pro- vide for the mail to those stations farther up the line.

NOTED AUTHOR PRAISES WORK
 OF RED CROSS

Ella Higginson, who has written a great deal about Alaska, and whose book, Alaska, the Great Country, is we'll known. has the following to say of woman's work for the Red Cross:
 If you have been sewing or knit. ting. or assisting in any way in the Red Cross rooms in any community. near or far. you must have been i'm pressed by the atmosphere of kind ness. patience and helpfulness per. vading the rooms. No woman is ever so busy with her own work that she cannot find time to teach another how to purl a wristlet or Kitchenerize toe, or baste a cor. rect hem on pair of pajamas. It is not the place for society; 1t is not the place for visiting or EOS. siping, or criticising one another's clothes. It is a place to which ev. eryone goes to work for the comfort of the fine young men who have gone bravely, unquestionably forth to defend their country-and for those others who are lying on beds of torture, while the gates of life stand ajar to the land of shadow. :"
 'In such a cause, what woman would not work? Every hour that is spent in wearisome knitting. sew. ing or packing. or directing. or de. livering goods-or whatsoever it may be-is surely Tightening the anguish of someone's son on a foreign bat. tlefield. *
 Tt is not easy for most of the women of any community to give their time to the Red Cross work; the great majority of those who work day after day do their own work also and have large families. We'll. 1t does not matter If our hous. es be a bit untidy these days-it may be that the trenches are not so very tidy. either! Perhaps no bed Is ever made in the trenches-until the last bed of all Is made. Do not say q can't come down today; this is my busy day"-all days are busy days in the trenches and on the fields of life and death."

NOTE IN SOCK
 UNANSWERED

In shipment of knitted goods sent Outside by the Red Cross there was enclosed pair sent from Chata- nika with note requesting the one receiving the socks to let the knitter know how they fit. That they fit well is evident from the follow ing received from the recipient:
 Camp Lewis, Wash, Mar. 6, 1918. Dear Mrs. Troseth:
 "The socks fit fine. Pm saving them to wear in France. I've no idea when we will go.
 "They are splendid, warm socks, and I surely won't get cold feet when wearing them.
