A Chance To Invest Your Savings

A Chance To Invest Your Savings
 The Wrangeu Electric Light and Power Go. have effected an organiza- tion. E. II. Lyons has been elected manager, L. J. Cole, treasurer, and Lauros Mi1ligan, secretary. The nee essary legal steps have been taken to incorporate and the incorporation will be perfected at an early date.
 The Company will incorporate for $5,000, and this is to be divided into 200 shares of $25 each. Over one half of the stock has already been subscribed, and the remainder is of fered for sale. The terms of sub seription are one-fourth in cash at the time of subscribing, and the re mainder in three monthly install ments. The cost of operating the plant will be reduced to a minimum. Until the demands of the business make it absolutely necessary for more help, one man has agreed to do all the engineering and electrical work. The plant is located where fuel may be had at the lowest possi- bIe figure, and everything points to a good dividend from the beginning. The company is only allowed to run in debt to half the value of the plant. Watering stock is prohibited by it's franchise, and there is no reason why this stock should not be a gilt edged investment from the first.

The Whooping cough is quite prev alent among the youngsters of town. The ailment is not fatal but at this season of the year it is well to keep the little folks from taking cold else 1t will bother them all winter.
 At the meeting of the Town coun= ell last Thursday evening, the con- tract for building that Second street walk was let to Edward Ludeckes at 51 cents per running foot. his bid be- ing the only one submitted. The school board asked that 40 per cent of the monies arising from licenses within the town be set aside for school purposes and it was so order ed. The council also ordered some additional school furniture.
 Ernest specht is again driving development work on his Elephant Nose property. and will continue to extend the tunnel, which is quite a distance. shrewd mining experts have examined the rock from this claim and pronounce it rich, and we are justified in the belief that 1t will some day prove one of the very best mining properties in southeastern Alaska.
 The Humboldt came in from the north Monday morning, bringing lot of freight that she should have delivered as she went up. We don't see what use it is for boats to come in here at all. Of course a town that only pays the steamboat lines an av- craze of $100 per day for freight and passengers is hardly worth touching at. Of course not.
 Several parties who have been prospecting up on the Eseoot for some weeks came down last week and in answer to the question of what they found up there, remarked that "there is plenty of the yellow color up there-that is, the wash from the iron in the rock makes a yellow color" Notwithstanding this, they further stated that there is some very good rock up there. These men have been out for J. A. Mason, and we have not learned whether it is his intention to send them out again, or not.
 The Philip F. Kelly was in at this port last Friday, having on board Judge John R. Vim, receiver of the P. P. & N. Co.,, and Hon. John ". Dudley, register of the U. s. Land Office, Juneau. Mir. ". was here on a tour of inspection of the properties of the company in this section, and MT. Dudley was his guest. They vis- ited Girard Point, Petersburg, Santa Ana, and other canneries in this sec tion and found them in good shape. While here the gentlemen looked about and expressed themselves as at our beautiful town site and the many improvements under way and when they came to Red Mems hall and were shown through it they declared it the finest building they had seen in Alaska.

MOST DRASTIC SHAKE-UP
OF U. S. POLICE HISTORY
ORDERED IN PHILADELPHIA

be reduced to the rank of patrol
man or fired.
Goaded by the failure of his po-
lcemen TO clean up the city after
six weeks of grand jury investiga-
ton, Mackey has decided to resort
to the most drastic police shake-up
ever ordered in a large American
city.
1t was about a month ago-after
the grand jury had unearthed evi-
dence pointing to wholesale bribery
and the existence of a liquor syndi-
cate that had made profits of ap-
proximately $40 ,O00, ,000-that Mackey
sent out the word for police to clean
up the city in twenty-four hours.
Three days after that order went
out special detectives working under
John Monaghan. district attorney,
still we're raiding distilleries in the
shadow Of city hall. Thirty-four
policemen are under arrest and
Nor aghan predicts that others will
be taken into custody soon.
Today every police captain in the
city will receive orders to file a re-
port Monday on conditions in his
district.
Every policeman in the city will
be moved to new district, with
none of them knowing his destina-
ton until he gets his orders.
Their reports will be checked
against those of the captains.
Monaghan announced that indict-
mentS would be returned against
several policemen Monday and that
the defendants would be put on
trial as fast as the courts could take
care of their cases.
Joel D. Kerper, who pleaded guilty
to selling liquor to persons high in
Philadelphia society, was fined
$4,000 and sentenced to fifteen
months in the Federal penitentiary
at Atlanta Friday. It was the
heaviest fine ever assessed in Fed
eral Court here.

But it was always to get part

Turns Down AngIo-FrenCh
Proposals as Handing
America Short End
NOTES MADE PUBLIC
Washington Ready to Listen
to New Plan, Reply
Sets Forth.
BY MAURITZ A. HALLGREN

United PrcSS stan Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Sept. 29.-The
United States Government stood
ready today to listen to any new
disarmament proposal. fully protect
ing American naval interests and
national needs. But it opposes the
Anglo French naval pact because
that obviously is intended to limit
American sea strength while ma
terially enhancing Franco British
offensive power.
This was revealed clearly today as
Americas position on the Anglo
French naval plan. following publi-
cation of identical notes Secretary
of State Kellogg sent France and
Great Britain. These notes said:
No program that might place this
country at a disadvantage oon the
seas need be submitted. The Anglo
French arrangement not only would
have had this result, but also would
have led ito a recrudensence of ma
cal competition" the notes declared
Light Cruisers Endorsed
This firm stand on the naval
question is expected to have serious
reverberations in Europe. according
to well-informed opinion here.
Summarized. the notes, replying
to request for Americas opinion of
the Anglo French plan. set forth
the following as reasons for diSap-
proving that plan:
It provides for the limitation of
cruisers carrying eight-inch guns,
which are peculiarly suited to the
needs of the United States" while
leaving unlimited light cruisers
carrying guns of six-inch or smaller
caliber, which England requires.
This section Of the proposal the
United States considers "even more
Objectionable than the British pro-
gram submitted at Geneva last year.
and rejected BY the American dele
CATION
Insufficient Limitation
It provides for no limitation on
submarines under 900 tons. which
France says she needs. According
to American opinion. ships of this
size ARE formidable cornbatant yes
sells"
It conflicts with the American
theory that any limitation of naval
ornaments to be effective should
apply to all classes of combatant
vessels"
1t leaves unlimited a very large
class of effective fighting ships and
this very fact would inevitably lead
to a recrudescence of naval competi-
ton"
Reply to Secrecy
Publication Of the American reply
was looked upon by observers as
President Coolidge's answer to Sc
crecy with which England and
France, attempted to hedge their
understanding and to the garbled
publicity later given that agree
ment following unSubStantiated re-
ports of supposedly sinister motives
behind the agreement.
