COOPERATION
It is encouraging to know that
our Commercial Club is taking
such an interest in local condit
ions: and the Arctic Brotherhood
is laying a sound financial founda
tionfor itself, taking in new mem
hers and making elaborate prep
arations for entertaining the
Townspeople in future.
Business conditions re rapid
ly adjusting themselves under
the Bone Dry Law both for the
betterment of the Merchant and
the purchaser.
Ecclesiastical meetings held
here lately have been well attend
ed, even the little bo,y s will soon
realize that the Sunday School
was not created for girls benefit
only - - here-to-fore every effort
to co-operate had fallen flat
but our citizens ate all loyal to
the backbone and realize that it
is only by co-operation our Town
will meet with recognition.
it is too bad that at this time
when all our minds are centered
in Europe that labor troubles
should become an issue in our
midst.
Mistakes have probably been
made on both sides, and will
continue to be, but in a crisis
like this, it certainly does not
help win the war, when Union

between employer and employee
Unions are surely for the bet

PRO 1 ’OSED .ASSESSMENTS
FOil FiRE-=F*KOTE(. 'MON
At a meeting of the Fire
committee held last week it w is
decided to assess all pioperty
owners in McCarthy for the pur
pose of buyingrhOO feet of h.ose
picks and ladders etc,& built i ig
a shed for same. Tlie”e was also
quite an exi>gxiditure in the last
order which 4ms been up to now
borne by a fqw men only, and it
seems only right that each per
son in this town should bear his
share of this “expense.
We all knoWLwhat Valdez anc
other towns tnjthe interior have
' suffered in the-past and we trust
that all interested parties will
j cooperate far this protectior

The following -lisf has beer

committee—based- on location;
and business values, probably
there are seme^.which are to<
high and others-too low, but thi:
