PROTEST AGAINST
PROHIBITION Bill
The Cordova Chamber of Commerce
has passed and forwarded to the na
tlonal capital a resolution protesting
against the passage by Congress oi
any legislation providing for the pro
hibition of the sale of liquor in Alas
ka. unless the people of the territorj
shall by a majority vote express theii
approval of such a law.
The resolution Is as follows:
"WHEREAS, a bill has been intro
duced In the Congress of the United
Stntes providing for prohibition in the
Territory of Alaska.
“AND WHEREAS, the people ol
Alaska feel, that as American citizens
they are entitled to share to some ex
tent in the passage of the laws thal
afTect them;
AND WHEREAS, in those states
where the prohibition question hat
been raised, it has always been set
tied by the vote of the people;
"THEREFORE, be it resolved, that
we, the Chamber of Commerce, of Cor
dova, Alaska, respectfully petition the
Honorable Congress of the United
States of America, that the people oi
Alaska be extended the same privilege
and rights granted the people of the
states on the ^prohibition question,
and that no prohibitory law shall be
valid in Alaska, unless the people ol
Alaska, by majority vote, approve the
same.”

MOSHER FREEZES FEET
AND WILL LOSE TOES
H. C. Hall was brought into Seward
a few days ago suffering from badly
frozen feet, and as a result will lose
several toes.
Hall left Seward to go to Portage
bay to meet a party of friends, but
on arriviing at that place found they
had left for Port Wells. He then
started to return to Seward, and at
Spencer glacier stepped into some
water that was hidden by a covering
of snow. He was compelled to walk
16 miles to Kern Creek with his feet
freezing. He is now In Seward, under
the care of Dr. Romig, who states that
the man will lose the great toe of the
right foot, and parts of the smaller
toes of the same foot. He will also lose
some of the toes off the left foot.
