DESERVED TRIBUTE PAID
TO LOCAL ENTERTAINERS
.
On the part of the Young Men’s
Christian Association, I shall pre
sume to thank Mrs. McConnell and
her company for the entertainment
given on Tuesday evening last.
The fact that the entertainment
was given as a benefit to both Cath
olic and Protestant organizations is
a tribute to the democratic policy of
both.
This demonstration on the part of
‘‘Billie” MacConnell's minstrel and
vaudeville show is but one of the
many evidences that Christianity does
not consist merely in a costly church
or a fashionable throng, but in a filial
trust in God. and ardent, impartial,
overflowing love to man, particularly
to the man, whether Catholic or
Protestant, who is now fighting for
the defense of our freedom.
All thanks to Mrs. MacConnell for
the generous gift, not only of money,
but of sacrifice of time, gifts and her
grace of enthusiasm for such worthy
and unselfish causes.
REV. E. P. ZIEGLER.
The local committee of the Knights
of Columbus war fund wish to ac
knowledge with thanks the donation
received from “Billie” MacConnell
and. her company, representing one
half the proceeds of the entertain
ment given Tuesday evening. As
soon as all returns from ticket sales
are in a meeting of the committee
will be called to act upon a formal
acknowledgment, and suitable resolu
tions of thanks to “Billie” for the
handsome donation. It was a big
town entertainment in a noble cause.
J. L. GALEN,
Chairman Local Committee.

BE CULLED OUT
Alaska draft men answering num
bers from local boards 1 to 8 -will be
called to the colors and report to Fori
Seward within a very short time.
Commander Jones recently wired
I the department it would require five
j months’ training at Fort Seward to
j season the Alaska draft men, and un
less the date was advanced it would
be impossible, owing to climatic con
ditions in the North.
Captain J. T. Hunt announces that
the calling of the quota of the Alaska
local boards numbers 1 to 8, inclu
sive, has been advanced by the pro
vost marshal general, upon the rec
ommendation of the governor’s office,
from approximately June 30 to May
1 This means that local boards No.
1, at Douglas; No. 2, at Haines; No.
3, at Juneau; No. 4, at Ketchikan;
No. 5, at Petersburg: No. 6, at Sitka;
No. 7, at Skagway, and No. 8, at
j Wrangell, will be mobilized between
the 1st and 15th of May.
As soon as details can be arranged,
this portion of the quota will be sent
to Fort William H. Seward under
command of Captain A. M. Jones of
the First battalion of the Fourteenth
infantry.
The chief reason for mobilizing a
quota from Southeastern Alaska at
Fort Seward at. this time is that the
open season, practicable for outdoor
military instruction, commences about
May 1 and continues until about No
vember 1. Target practice at Fort
Seward begins about June 1, and it
is desired that the Alaska quota -be
given as much training this seasjon
as possible.
It has not been definitely settled,
but it is very likely that quotas from
local boards No. 10, at Anchorage;
No. 11, at Cordova; No. 12. at McCar
thy; No. 13, at Seward; No. 14, at
Valdez, and No. 18, at Iditarod, will
go to Fort Liscum, near Valdez, al
though Iditarod men may be sent to
- --
St. Michael. I
The quotas from No. 16, at Eagle;
No. 17, at Fairbanks; No. 19, at Ne
nana; f>fo. 20, at Ruby, and No. 21,
at Tanana, will very likely be sent
to St. Michael. The quotas from lo
cal board No. 9, at Nome, will be sent
to Fort Davis, at Nome. No quota
from No. 15, at Chena, will be drawn, ;
for the reason that there were no j
registrants from there.

The minstrel and vaudeville show
which delighted a large audience on
Tuesday night last wrill not be re
peated, as it is impossible to get all
of the cast together for another per
formance. This will be disappoint
ing news to a great many people who
failed to gain admission to the first
show.
