EXPANSION SPELLS ACTIVITY
We are making splendid progress with our store altera
tions. While the remodeling is going on, we are so
y very busy that we have not had the time to tell you
> about the new goods that are due on the next two
boats, and the strenuous strain put on us of re-ar
ranging our large stock of goods is only part of the
work of enlarging an establishment.
In our next ad we will tell you more about it. We can
mention that we are just opening up a shipment of
Winter Caps, and new arrival of Mackinaw Coats
A and FALL CLOTHING, which in quality and style
are way beyond our own expectations.

PRECINCTS
The Daily Times publishes, in to
day's paper, an “ order and notice of
slection,” giving the different voting
precincts in the Knik Recording Dis
trict, together with the boundaries and
polling place for each precinct.
In the matter of estimating the
probable vote that will be cast in the
Anchorage precinct it is difficult to
come to anything like a reliable esti
mate or even a guess. Postmaster
Wood says that his office serves in
the neighborhood of 6,000 patrons but
this number includes the men on the
line; the same holds good in refer
ence to the membership of the Alaska
Labor union which numbers about
3,500. Then the fact remains that
the majority of these people are for
eigners, and, therefore, ineligable to
vote. This especially is true in refer
ence to the Labor union whose mem
bership has been estimated as being
made up of at least two-thirds for
eigners.
The government payroll includes
approximately 3,600 names; the ma
jority of these are Americans but
many of them will be unable to vote
on account of the territorial law re
quiring a residence of one year in the
territory and 30 days in the district.
The city census, taken this summer,
totaled 2,572. This number is practi
cally the same at this time but the
laws governing the right to vote will
eliminate a large proportion of this
numhpp
The last school election polled some
thing over 400 votes but this is not a
fair criterion as the matter was pure
ly local without any particular rivalry
attached to the issue and the election
laws are not similar. Nor can the
vote be estimated from the 200 school
children as the ordinary ratio govern
ing adults from this basis is not ap
plicable in Anchorage.
Mayor J. G. Watts, who is in con
stant touch with the situation, claims
a population of 3,000 in the city, di
vided as follows: 2,500 males and 500
females.
Mayor Watts gives 1,200 as his es
timate of eligible voters in Anchor
age proper but says that of this num
ber at least 350 or 400 will not turn
out to vote and estimates the total
vote that will be cast November 7th at
ii00. Judge Leopold David said that
he figured there would be 1,000 votes
cast at the November election. From
all indications the vote will probably
run between 800 and 1,000. And in
this connection it may be well to ad
monish the citizens that they use their
prerogative right of American citizen
ship and cast their ballot at the No
vember election.
The estimated vote of the Knik Re
cording district has been placed at
1,800 which is conservative. Under
the new ruling any person entitled to
a vote may cast his ballot at any vot
ing place in the division and it is nec
essary to register at the time of vot
ing.
The polls will be open from 8 o’clock
in the morning until 7 o’clock in the
evening. The Daily Times has arrang
ed for extra press service for election
day and night and in their usual up
to-minute manner will give the people
of Anchorage regular metropolitan
service.
