ALAS!-ALASKA

Have any of those you correspond With, ever claimed to have written letters to you which never arrived? There are several req sons why this mail may not have reached its destination and below is the explanation of perhaps the most important one.
 Do you realize that there are ten towns in the States that are railway stations, bearing the name of Cordova? You can ride by rail to a town named Cordova in the states of AL abama, California, Illinois, Iowa, Maryland, Montana, Nebraska, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee. There are other smaller towns that are not reached by rail which also bear the same name, well as sev- eral places in Canada.
 Mail addressed with pencil, not entirely legible after being handled few times, could easily be sent to the wrong state. And one of the best reasons why so much mail goes astray is because of the similar abbrevlatlon of Alaska and Alabama-Ala. for both Ala bama and Alaska Too often Ala. is used as the abbreviation of Alaska, or Alas written carlessly may look like Ala
 And when you place your return address on your mail, don't neglect to write Alaska ' out in full. The fact that you don't may explain why mail sent by you to others Out- side is not returned when there has been a change in an address, a mistake on your part in addressing, or an insufficient address.
 Help Uncle Sam's Post Office Department by writing "Alaska' with all her six letters and suggest to those with whom you corre- spond that they do the same and immediately the Alaskan mail that goes astray will be greatly diminished

THE VANITY OF THIEVES
"BODDY'S VANITY CAME OUT IN HIS E GEPNESS TQ POSE FOR pICIIIRES ''

"BODDY'S VANITY CAME OUT IN HIS EAGERNESS TO POSE FOR PICTURES. y
 We quote the foregoing from the account ot the capture of desperate young New York thief who murdered two detectives by sud den gun play while under arrest.
 And there you have it. Young mel-mor- ons--with the education and brain develop ment of boys of 10 or 12, go wrong and there after take pride in their misdeeds. The more desperate and murderous they are, the more pride they take in the reputation they have gained for vicious daring.
 This young man Boldly, aged 19, was caught with bunch of newspapers in his possession. They were all opened to the pages that con tained his name dozen times and which told of his hopeless badness.
 And then when they took him in he posed for his picture willingly, knowing full well that he would see his own portrait in all the papers the next day.
 We give too much publicity to thievves and nul derers. Such publicity panders to the de- generate and immature brain If the story of thief must be told in the newspapers, he should be given number, and there should be a law against publishing his picture outside of a rogue's gallery. .. .}

NOW AFTER LAND OFFICE

With the continued travel to the Cold Bay oil fields, why ask for the establishment of land office at Seward? There appears to be little necessity of resi-

 The First Second and Fourth divisions have land offices, why have at Seward-Seward Gateway.

PRAISE MAKES WHEELS RUN SMOOTHER

Constructive criticism is good, but when it tends to tear down instead of build up, it is stumbling block in the way of progress. Commend where commenda- tion is due don't keep quiet about it. Praise always makes the wheels smoother. It is even more con- structive than constructive criticism That why the resolution passed by the Ketchikan Post of the American Legion last Friday night is going to be of unestin1able good-Ketchikan Chronicle

POLICEMAN TIERNEY
 RESOLVED ON CHARGES
(Continued from Third Page)
Parker Starts on

1uTker Stdrts VII
 Commissioner Parker said that the Tierney case appeared to him as one where an officer had been q little over jealous, yet trying to do his duty as he saw it. The commissioner said that on the testimony of the police and private citizens the accused could not have been in Q very bad condi- tion
 Dunn's Views Chairman Dunn said that he be- lieved one witness was not telling the truth. ell also said that some of the policemen testified that they were not close enough to Tierney to detect the odor of liquor. and for time he was of the opinion that Tierney might have deliberately stood far enough away to prevent this odor from being detected; but several other witnesses later told of being close enough, and not finding any trace Of liquor odor.
 No Evidence to Convict
 Commissioner Jackson said that he could not see where sufficient amount of evidence had been presented to find the accused guilty of the charges as presented. Commissioner Lange said that as he saw the case, basing it on testimony, the accused was not under the influence of liquor. He favored in giving the accused the benefit of the doubt.
 Anent a Hangover
 Commissioner Jackson called at tention to the reference made by Ser geant King to Tierneys appearance as that of having a hangover Chief Hart spoke of the sickness re- gently in Tierney's family.
 Discipline, But Justice
 missioner Jackson said that there must be discipline in the depart ment, and that the sergeants must be upheld.
 We cannot allow an injustice be done to uphold the sergeants,' said Chairman Dunn.
 Commissioner Jackson moved that the accused policeman be found not guilty on the testimony as presented, and the motion was seconded by

REV. i. M. M|SSIRIAN
 TO WE'D ON SAT.
Former Local Minister to Marry
 Brooklyn Girl

Rev. c. M. Missirian, former pastor of the Stanley Memorial church of this city. now preaching in the First Presbyterian church of Fresno, Call fornia, made a short visit to friends and former associates in town las, week, being entertained at the home of O. A. Marsh, of AT Stanley street.
 To Be Married Saturday.
 Rev. MT. Missirian will be married Saturday evening of this week to Miss Katherine Elizabeth Manisajia of 44o7 Fourth avenue. Brooklyn. N. Y. The ceremony will be performed in the Fourth Avenue Methodist church at the corner of Forty-seventh street. Miss Manisajian Is graduate of Anatole College of Asiatic Turkey, where her father was professor of physics and chemistry for many years until the world war and resultant up heavals drove the family to this coun- try. She later studied piano in Con- stantinople and England. Professor Manisajian and his son have charge of Armenian relief work in Wisconsin and Michigan respectively.
 0U NcW MemDcrS. ..
 The church in Fresno of which Rev Mir. Miss!rian Is pastor has a mem bership of $50 of which 50 have been added since his taking up the work. The present church building Is prov ing too small as the morning congrega- tions average 500 to 500, so this win ter building fund will be tablished looking forward to a larger up-to- date church building in the near fu- ture.
 25 Piece Orchestra.
 One of the features of the evening services is a 25 piece orchestra, the leader of which Is coronetist in the Fresno Symphony orchestra. Much enthusiasm has been shown by the young people since Rev. MT. Missirian took up the work and the evening services in English are largely made up of this group. A brotherhood of over hundred members was organ ized and is growing steadily. A part time church secretary has been added to the staff this year.
 A cottage has been rented as par sonage until the plans for new church are matured and a parsonage will then be bought or built in con- nection with the group of church buildings.
