LABORERS WARNED AGAINST
CANADIAN OFFERS OF JOBS
—
CHICAGO, May 16.—-Warnings
are being sent broadcast throughout
the United States to inform laborers
that inducements to them to go to
Canada supposedly to receive good
jobs are merely blinds for the pur
I ose of getting them across the bor
der so that they may Join the British
army.
The warnings are being sent out
by the bureau of Immigration in
Washington. Details of the sup
l osed plan to get Americans for the
Canadian forces were given out yes
terday by Dr. Pe*cy L. Prentis, head
jf the local bureau of Immigration
and employment.
It is reported, he said, that plans
are being made to advertise for 30.
000 men by the Canadian officials.
“None Knew Him But to love Him.”
Frank B. Cannon, who ha» been
hibernating in Knik, came out of his
winter quarters yesterday and paid
Anchorage's visit of a few hours. It
is a pleasure to meet and know a
gentleman of Mr. Cannon’s type,
courteous, loyal and the soul of. hon
or—truly a gentleman of the old
stock. Frank Cannon is proprietor
of the Pioneer Hotel at Knik, usually
called Cannon's roadhouse and Is
known from Seward to the Kusko
kwim. from the Broad Pass to the
Inlet, and is without doubt the most
popular boniface in Southern Alas
ka. Cannon and Cannon c road
house are household words In this
country; the old-timers swear by
them and for cause. It would be a
very easy matter to fill this column
with anecdotes and experiences of
Mr. Cannon; It would be a very great
pleasure to fill another column ex
tolling his many sterling characters,
tics which can so truly be summed up
In the lines—"None knew him but to
love him; none spoke of him but to
praise."
