FOLLOWING VP
Our last Advertisement, we are glad to state, that no one claimed
the reward, for two reasons;
lhe first reason is that we are $1000.00 to the good.
The second reason is that we have demonstrated to the
public the unreliability of rumors, and we are sorry to say that
owing to the same persistent and pernicious agitation many of
#
our citizens are placing confidence in such malicious rumors
which are intended to injureXome for some hidden purpose.
The true development. of Ideality is never based on a mush
room growth it takes arduous and patient work to bring and keep
section prospering. BjgJ ;
At this time more than any other time (Excepting few war
conditions which no good American will run away from)
Nome's future looms up brighter than ever and those who remain
to assist in bringing the daynearer will reap the benefit.
TEST YOC FORGET
AVe want to also impress upon your mind that we have not relented
in the grocery business, we carry the best of goods and we are sell
ing them at right prices.
POLET STORES
BOLSHEVIK! DEMAND
SUDJEGTS SURRENDER
COPENHAGEN,—The Bolshevik
are said to be extremely hostile to
the Allies in Russia and to be much
more bitter against them than the
Germans.
It is announced in dispatches which
come thru German sources that the
Bolsheviki are demanding the sur
render of the Allied subjects who
have taken refuge in the American
consulate in Moscow. These are said
to be British and French subjects.
LONDON,—There is some trouble
in determining the actual conditions
of things in Russia.
Telegraphic advices from Moscow
via Berlin state that the British and
French subjects who took refuge in
the American consulate are now being
called upon to surrender or to be sur
rendered to the Bolsheviki.
Inasmuch as the Consulate has been
closed and Consul General Poole is
reported to be at Finland, the dis
patches do not seem intelligible.
STRIKE IS SETTLED ON
ENGLISH RAILROADS
LONDON,—The strike of five
thousand railroad workers in England
was settled satisfactory to the gov
ernment and to the employees it is
announced as a result of the confer
ence held at Gardiff.
The conference made several wage
scale adjustments and the men ac
cepted the decision reached there by
a practically unanimous vote and the
trouble is over.
The British workmen ar.fi main
taining their right to strike if their
! grievances are not attended to.despite
protests upon the part of employers
and the press.
SUPREME COURT KNOCKS
OUT PROGRESSIVES
SAN FRANCISCO,—That progres
sive Supreme Court of this state has
again aided the reactionists in elimi
nating the two most progressive can
didates from the gubernatorial con
test.
Francis J Heney and Mayor Rolph
had their names stricken off the dem
ocratic ballot upon motion duly filed,
the court holding that the primary
law did not allow a candidate to be
nominated by the two parties as these
were. The Republicans will now fol
low suit, and ask that the candidates
be stricken off their ballot because
of their being nominated on the dem
ocratic ticket. The situation is unique.
The gang that tried to force Fickert
on the people and who were repudiat
ed at the primaries is now trying to
make Mooney be the price of the sup
port given the candidate. If Stephens
will refuse to take action in the
Mooney case he is promised the solid
support of this element.
ATTITUDE OF LABOR
IS CRITICIZED
SYDNEY, N. S. W.,—W, A. Hol
man, Premier of New South Wales,
made some outspoken statements re
garding the attitude of the Labor
Party during the tour of his consti
tuency. He pointed out that labor
has arrived at the parting of the ways,
the loyal section having to decide
whether it was going to throw in its
lot with the Industrial Workers of the
World.
If the country, Mr. Holman further
declared, was not to be handed over
to revolutionaries, Bolsheviki and ig
norant incendiaries the course to pur
sue was to link up with the national
party. At present labor was divided
into two sections, one of which was
avowedly antagonistic to the Empire
and the Allies and the other had not
yet decided what its exact position
was.
AMERICAN CARGO GOAT
VICTIM OF SUGMARINE
WASHINGTON,—The Amerlcai
cargo steamer Buenaventura was sub
marined off the coast of Spain oi
August 20, announces the Navy De
partment.
21 are missing from those on board
the total being carried being 95.
LONDON,—The British Admiralty
announces that a British monitor sanh
i in a harbor following an internal ex
plosion. The explosion killed twenty
seamen and fifty-seven others are
missing and it is presumed, sank with
the vessel. No attempt is made to ex
plain the causes of the explosion
which it is recognized must remain a
matter of conjecture and will prob
ably never be really known.
TENANT LEAGUE GETS
ACTIVE NEW YORK
NEW YORK,—Oct 1, which shares
with May 1 the title of “moving day,”
this year will witness a new and
strange sort of exodus from the city's
many apartment and tenement houses
if success accompanies the plan which
Mcs Mary Mardfin, Socialist and Wo
man’s Trades Union leaguer, has orig-j
inated, for it was her idea to organize
dwellers in apartments where land
lords have advanced their rents un
duly in an attempt to get generous
shares of inflated war profits.
The Tenants League is what the
new organization is called. This de-j
mands the passage of the Grosser
Bill “to prevent extortion and to im
pose taxes on excess profits in rents”
or the passage of some rent-regulat- j
ing measure at a specially called ses
sion of the State Legislature before
the 1st of October. If neither of these
MUST PROCEED SPEEDILY
WASHINGTON,—Provost Marshal
Crowder notified the local draft
boards that they must proceed speed
ily with the physical examination of
all class one registrants for immediate
induction into service.
Crowder orders that these physical
examinations be made in the order
of the numbers drawn by each regis
trant as his name is recorded.
DEPUTATION TO GRAND VIZIER
AMSTERDAM,—Members of a
deputation from Kars, Batum and
Ardahan in Russia Armenia and
Transcaucasia have reported to the
Turkish Grand Vizier, according to a
dispatch from Constantinople, that
a referendum held in those territories
resulted in an overwhelming majority
in favor of the return to Turkish na
tionality. The Grand y'isier told the
delegates that the Ottoman govern
men would hasten the re-annexation
formalities.
RUSSIANS ORGANIZE
LONDON,—A number of Russians
living in London have formed an as
sociaion entitled “Union of Russian
Commonwealth” (“Narodopravstvo”)
with the object of uniting all Rus
sians “Who (1) repudiate the so-call
ed Bolsheviki rule, as tending to dis
integrate the Russian state and as
endangering the independence of the
people of Russia; (2) advocate the
events come about, according to Mrs
Mardfin, then the tenants will strike.
By her plan the league will find tem
porary refuge for members who are
driven out of their homes by inor
dinately increased rentals, the more
fortunate members helping them to
move and store their furniture as
cheaply as possible. She even sug
gests that halls may be hired and turn
ed into temporary barracks.
The league is busy listing landlords
as to the fairness of their demands.
A mass meeting is scheduled, to be
held at Cooper Union, Sept. 25, to urge
action by State or nation, but if none
is forthcoming by moving day, then,
says Mrs Mardfin, executive secretary
of the Tenants League, here will be
a strike, with picketing and all the
usual accompaniments.
summoning of a democratically elect
ed Constituent Assembly as the only
expression of the free will of the
whole people; (3) consider the re
publican order to be the surest guar
antee of the peaceful and free devel
opment of Russia; and (4) believe
that only in close union with the Al
lies can Russia regenerate her
strength and avert the menace of
German domination, aggravated by
the whole foreign policy and orienta
tion of the present rulers of Russia,
of which the Brest-Litovsk peace is
the most disastrous expression.”
