A. G.. MCBRIDE is APPOINTED
DEPUTY REVENUE COLLECTOR

Mr. Arthur Mcbride, who was ap-
pointed last week deputy revenue
collector for this district, will be-
gin active duties about the middle
OF the month, with his office most
likely at Marietta. The position is
a responsible one, but Mr.. Mcbride
is competent and capable of filling
it. During the world war he serv-
ed overseas and made splendid
record, holding the rank of sergeant
at it's close Soon after his dis
charge he was employed with the
Pennsylvania railroad, during which
time he was promoted and doubt
less would have been farther ad-
vanced, had not hard times forced
them to let very large number OF
their men go.
This is practically the first politi-
cal plum that has been handed out
to resident Of this place, and the
appointment will meet with favor
among the majority of Republicans,
and is also very gratifying among
the members of the opposition party
who recognize Mr.. McBride's ability,
and splendid services as soldier
in the late great war.
He received official confirmation
of his appointment Wednesday of
this week.

to give them instruction in all the
latest and most modern methods of

tives usually spend week or ten

resentative visited Mrs Patterson
at the Alice Beauty parlors Monday

SKATING CARNIVAL
 FOR TOMORROW NIGHT

A skating carnival by the light Of the full moon and an enormous lake shore bonfire, and to music rem dered by the Cordova Band, Is the unique jollification planned to take place on Eyak Lake tomorrow night under the auspices of the band. Taking advantage of the fullness or the moon, which will rise tomorrow night about half past seven, and the condition of the ice, which offers some excellent skating in certain sections, the Carnival is planned as an entertainment in which the whole town, whether skaters or not, may participate and at the same time share in a worthy cause. With head quarters at a point along the Eyak road. the Carnival will be directed by the Band There will be con tests in fancy skating for both men and women, prizes for which will be given. In the comfortable glow of big bonfires spectators will have "box seats" from the bank, where they may regale themselves with sandwiches and hot dogs, which will be sold on the spot. The proceeds from the sale of eatables and from other sources of small revenue
 which are being planned, will be turned over to the Near East Relief, the drive for which is on throughout
 the Territory this week. The Car
 nival promises to be gala occa- sion and 1t is expected that the beau
 tiful lake in the valley back of the
 town will be the scene of one of the
 jolliest publications of the winter. lGet your skates sharpened and your
 skating-legs on, you skaters, and
 turn out for the contests. And you I that don't skate, come along pre- ] pared to enjoy an exhibition that for beauty of setting and pictur- 4 sequences of scene can't be beaten anywhere in the world.
