WOLVES ARE SEEN
 JUST BELOW THANE

Wolves have been seen on the beach just below Thane. Almost every night their bowling can be heard by the people of that place. A hunter few nights ago while after ducks saw two of them, one big fellow and another young one, in the vicinity of the Gold Belt Mining Company's power site on the beach less than mile below Thane. The hunter took a shot at one of the ami mals but missed.
 The wolves seen near Thane with. out doubt have been driven by hun ger and cold from the Taku river country where there are many of them.
 The bounty on wolves Is $15 and about the same amount can be re alized from the pelt. All that Is ne- cessary to do is to first kill the wolf The whole pelt must be taken to q United States Commissioner and an oath taken Part of the left fore Leg of the animal must then be sent to the Territorial Treasurer accom-. panied by the affidavit taken bzefore the commissioner.

'RhTTLERS" TO GIVE WARNING
 ON THURSDAY

Are you a rattler? If not. why not? The rattiesnake is a distinctly American reptile and for it's efficacy in combat there is no creature more deadly. It always gives warning if not tread upon. The founder of the American nation used the emblem oi the rattlesnake as its first symbol or flag, and the people of Alaska are using the same symbol to pcrpetuate the nation so founded.
 The rattlers, more specifically the members of the Territorial Order Americans, who are staging big patriotic mass mee rg at Elks hall tomorrow evening at 8 o'clock be- lieve that the nat.on founded by Washington. Jefferson, Franklin and their cohorts, defended by Lincoln, and developed by the people of the nation, north, south east and west is too precious heritage to be endangered by movement born. bred and largely developed outside of our country, and unacquainted with our history, traditions and aims. Such a movement is on. Therefore, for the perpetuation of our Govern ment and it's institutions and the eli imitation of it's traducers, the order Iof Americans has been created throughout the Territory of Alaska.
 At the meeting tomorrow evening at Elks nall 100 per cent Americans will be heard in rapid fire success sion; there will also be excellent music and quartette singing. The Stars and Stripes at this big meet ing will take on a new mstre. Gov ernor Thomas Rigks Jr will preside Everybody cordially invited to be present.
 Get the habit; join the Americans; pin on your "Rattler" and proclaim to the world that you stand ready to combat and overcome all efforts to destroy our glorious government. In dica.lons are that Elks auditorium tomorrow night will he filled to over Sowing: so come early. get a good seat, and be prepared to breathe and enjoy the fragrance of "the Flower of Liberty" of which Oliver Wendell Holmes wrote:
 What flavor is this that greets the
 morn,
 It's hues from heaven so freshly
 born?
 With burning star and flaming band It kindles all the sunset land; o tell us what It's name may be- Is this the flower of liberty? It is the banner of the free. The starry flower of liberty. q

STATEMENT

Regarding the voting contest for the Ladies' wrist watch, for the popular young lady of Juneau, which was recently held at the Catholic Church Bazaar, I wish to make the following statement:
 Following my suggestion, Miss Ruath had deposited in the ballot box 964 votes which was the count given in the evening paper of that date. The check for s1S5.00 which we heard so much about, was given by me, in lieu of miscellaneous checks, currency and silver, which was deposited with me by Miss Ruath and her many friends. is- sued the check and deposited 1t in the ballot box as matter of con- venience and this gave her a hand some and winning majority, with out help from me. The 150 votes deposited with the check were giv- en by me personally.
 I exceedingly regret that any
 se statements or i'll feeling should develop over what considered a friendly contest for a worthy cause.
