NENANA REPUBS
FOR RTBRIDE
AND HAZEET
Nenana, March 16.—Following the
action of the majority of the Repub
lican clubs throughout the territory,
the Nenana Republican club has for
mally endorsed the candidacy of J. C.
McBride of Juneau for national com
mitteeman, and George C. Hazelet of
Cordova for delegate to the nation
ItMconvention at Chicago. There was
mo opposition to the action, all of the
members present giving their sup
port to the motions of endorsement.
The meeting was well attended and
a number of new names added to the
membership roll. Attorney Cecil H.
Clegg, prominent in Fairbanks Repub
lican circles, was present and gave
the members an interesting talk on
the political situation, assuring them
of the desire of Fairbanks to co-op
perate with the local organization.
He spoke favorable of the candidacy
of George S. Smith and said that both
Nenana and Brooks could count on
the support of Fairbanks in the
forthcoming primaries, it being the
desire of the Republicans of the up
per town to distribute the represen
tation over the division rather than
|| attempt to confine it to Fairbanks.
J. C. McBride, whose candidacy
the local club will support in the
primaries^ is a substantial business
man of Juneau, being at the head
of the largest hardware concern in
the territorial capital. He was presi
dent of the Juneau Republican club
until a short time ago, having been
ousted - from control when an oppos
ing faction took possession of a
meeting unexpectedly. He has the
support, however, in his candidacy
for national committeeman, of the
men who superceded him as con
trolling factors of the club.
George C. Hazelet, whom the club
also has endorsed, is a pioneer resi
dent of Cordova and wras recently
honored by appointment as a mem
ber of the Republican committee on
policies and platform, being the of
ficial representative of Alaska on that
committee.
Both candidates have been en
dorsed by nearly all the Alaska clubs,
-the Fairbanks organization being the
last to act prior to last night. The
McCarthy Republican club, which was
organized about a week ago, with 67 ;
members, endorsed McBride and!
Hazelet at the first meeting held.

MUCH DAMAGE BONF
FROM FOREST FIRES
MISSOULA, Mont., March 16 (by
Associated Press).—Forest fires in
the first forest service district, which !
had headquarters here, did damage j
estimated at $2,150,000, according to !

age of 12 days each in combatting the :
flames, and at an average of $4.50 a I
day. It is estimated that it costs as
much to maintain a man in the fields
as he receives in wages so that it cost
for fire fighters close to $9 per day. j

made by the Vancouver Board of
Trade to induce the Provincial gov
ernment to grant the application of
the D’Arcy Exploration Company for
a concession to prospect for oil in the
Peace River country south of Pouce
Coupe.
The D’Arcy Exploration Company is
a British concern, in which the Im

this company the government devel
oped the Anglo-Persian oil fields, it
was stated.

area sixty miles square in the Peace j
river district was rejected by the

INVITATION AND PULLS j
STUNT NOT ON PRFGRAM
BRAZIL, Ind., March 16 (by Asso
ciated Press).—The “town wag”
mailed an invitation to the Rev. Ed
ward Rosier to attend a “select
dance” at Clay City recently. The
minister caused a sensation by ac
cepting and including in the program
much more than was expected.
Accompanied by his wife, the Rev.
Mr. Rosier paid his dollar entrance
lee and passed into the dance hall.
He then attacked dancing and after
his address saidjhe would offer prayer
for the “sinners” if they would kneel.
Several did kneel and the minister j
prayed.
Following the prayer the Rev. Mr. I
Rosier gave the dancers another short ‘
sermon and declared it an insult to
send a minister an invitation to a j
dance. After the service the dance I
went on, but it was admitted not
with the customary merriment.
