PARKING lines
WILL Be MARKED
ON ALL STREETS
Police Department Announ-
ces That Parking Ordin-
ance Will Be Strictly En-
forced

Haphazard parking of cars on the
principal streets of Brownsville will
soon be thing Of the past. accord
ing to an announcement made this
morning by the city police depart
ment.
Last night parking lines were
painted on Eleventh street. Twelfth
street will be similarly painted to-
night, and parking lines will also be
painted on Elizabeth street from
the Miller Hotel to the postoffice.
The police department is also ar
ranging to paint guides at all the
principal corners to prevent auto
lists turning short or cutting across.
"These parking lines are not be-
ing painted with the object of beau
tifying the streets" Lieutenant Of
Police Armstrong stated this morn
ing. "They are put there for the
purpose Of showing drivers where
they may park their cars, and the
owner Of any car not complying
with the rules and permitting his
car to extend beyond the parking
line will be given an opportunity to
explain in municipal court"
Several weeks ago the announce
ment was made that the parking
ordinance would be enforced. but
the announcement had little effect.
Drivers would invariably assert that
they did not know they were too
far from the curb when they park
ed their cars. but the painting OF
parking lines will not permit such an
excuse. Drivers who have been in
the habit of "nosing" their ears in
10 the curb. leaving the rear extend
ing several feet into the street, prac-
tically obstructing traffic. on mar
row streets will be obliged to mend
their ways or pay a fine. which will
be increased with each repetition of
the offense.
"We have no intention Of impos-
ing a hardship upon anyone" Lieut.
enant Armstrong stated. Traffic
on the principal streets has reached
such proportions that unless the
parking regulations ARE enforced. the
parked cars are not only a source of
delay but are also constant menace.
being the cause of the major portion
Of the accidents which occur in the
city. Chief Linton has given orders
to enforce the regulation, and we
are going TO do it. to the letter"

A BRILLIANT ALASKAN

The death of Major Dan Pullen, at Washington, D. C., last week, from sleeping sickness, deprived Alaska of the services of one Of it's most bril- liant men. Major Pullen was born in the states but came to Dyea with his mother, Mrs Elizabeth Pullen, in 1897. in 1906 received the appointment to West Point, this being the first ap- poinment to the military academy ever made in the Territory. In 1916 Lieut. Pullen was made a captain; in 1917 he was commissioned major; and was then sent to France as colonel in charge of tn efamous Thirtieth di- vision, Tank Corps, where he served honorably and we'll, being decorated nine times.
 A crack athlete, having won many prizes on the gridiron and in the boat crew of the University of Washington, where he received his education, he carried the same determination to win into his arm service. At all times considerate and careful of his men, he was beloved by all with whom he came in contact.
 In the death of Major Pullen, the country loses a stalwart American; man who was willing to lay down his life for his principles; and Alaska has lost one of her most brilliant sons.
