Nj. J. CALI1AGHAN ARRIVES
 FROM PORT NELLIE JUAN

Michael J. Callaghan, the well known miner and old-timer, arrived in town Saturday night from Port Nellie Juan, in his launch the Viking, 3 days out. MT. Callaghan has been watchman for the Nellie Juan cannery the past winter and reports that an unusual quantity of snow has fallen in that section. Records kept by him show that 38 feet have fallen this win ter and there is ten feet of snow at the present time on the level. MT. Callaghan reports rough weather on his up-trip, combined with snow fur ries, making navigation both danger ous and uncomfortable. He states that a number of men for the cannery ar rived on the Northwestern, and ar are being made for a big pack.

yer horde will be producing great
 wealth for cannerymen and others.
 Million of dollars will be taken from the sea, and the number of workmen employed will reach up into the tens of thousands. The fishing industry in Alaska is one of its greatest assets. AS yet it is controlled by outide capi- tai, and the rewards go to enrichen outsiders. But with territorial gov ernment much of this will be chang ed. The territory will receive more for its natural resources and everyone will benefit therefrom.

THE PATRIOTIC Meeting Satu

THE PATRIOTIC Meeting Satur- daynight is an indication of how uni versally the community is behind the government in it's war work. The large hall had the s. R. O. sign out long before the meeting was called to or der, and the large audience good nat uredly packed itself into a space far too small for comfort. Such meetings do more than any other one thing to crystalline public sentiment into ac- tive war propaganda. AS the speakers of the evening pointed out this is no time for passiveness or peace talk. The first consideration is to win the war, and every effort is being made by Valdezans to help accomplish this It was a grand and glorious event, and one which made every heart beat in unisn with the sentiment of the occasion.

ALASKA has passed thru one of the worst winters tn her history. There has been more cold and more snow than at any time since the first settler landed, And yet there have been far fewer casualties this winter than at any time for the past ten years. Fewer persons have been froz- en to death and fewer suffered from frost bites than for many winters past. Whether this is on account of a more limited population and the cessation of mining, or is caused by old residents taking greater precau- tions our deponent sayeth not.

MAKE FEM PROVE IT

IN VALDEZ, as is doubtless the case in many other cities, there are a number of people wso assiduously circulate reports that so and so is pro-German, regardless of the work being done by the party accused, for the war cause, and also regardless of the harmful effect upon the person and his business, who is the target for the vile tongues of islander. It is unfortunate that this is the case. There is probably no person in the city whom some person at one time or ano- ther has not been accused of having pro-German tendencies. Personally we favor the organization of a vigil ance committee of a half dozen rep resentative business men whose duty it shall be to wait upon the persons circulating these stories and force them to prove their assertion. If they cannot do so and are only repeating the words of some other person they should be dealt with as an enemy to >the public and be subjected to the same treatment that would be admin istered to a party who is a pro-Ger- man in reality. There is too much of this loose talk going about the city, and it is working universal harm to the community.
 The man who knowingly repeats something he knows has no founda- tion of fact should be severely punish ed. It is no time for man to sit down and shoulder the charge of be- ing reasonable to the government and the victim of these vicious islanders should repel such verbal attacks by any means short of deliberate murder. If A committee could be formed to in vestigate these charges persons would be more careful about attacking men or women who are giving the better part of their time to furthering the war cause. We ask any citizen who KNOWS a man is unpatriotic to re- port this case to the marshal's ofhce. If he does not do so he is an accom- plice of the seditionist.
 Let us stop these unfounded charges at once and make the parties responsible eat their words, or let the town be disrupted by unprincipled gossipers, whose only desire is to stab some party in the back, regardless of consequences: It is the duty of every citizen to inform any man accused of pro-Germanism of the talk going around, and give the accused a chance to force the retraction. A committed for this purpose would be the logical way to handle it.

DOUGLAS FAIRBANKS BEST.

Douglas Fairbanks will be seen at the

ture entitled "Headin' South" Thurs

ling tale of two borders-Mexican and
Canadian-dealing with the capture of
a notorious band of Mexicans who
defy all laws and governmental warn
ings.
The scenario presents Fairbanks IN
a mysterious character who trails his
man from Canada to Mexico and event.
ually turns him over to the authorities.
There is an undercurrent of fascinat-
ing mystery that runs thru the story,
with strong element Of suspense that
is maintained to the very last scene
of the picture. According to Allan
Dawn the public seems to prefer char
acterizations rather than being over
burdened with plot. and in 'Headin'
South" Fairbanks appears in his most
interesting portrayal
Fairbanks is an expert horseman.
and his riding scenes at the head Of
two hundred cowboys are intended to
thrill the most blase patron Of a the
alter. The real Mexican border at No
gales was selected as the background
for 'Headin' South" disclosing views
of conditions that will cause endless
comment.
For THESE scenes special train was
chartered from Los Angeles to Nogales

twelve freight cars, transporting over

Miss Hagler, the secretary, thought
this forenoon. Between $1,000 and ST.

better. Within reports from the latter

subscribed by them.
