GET ON THE HONOR ROLL
"The bullets from a machine gun
shine like a silver ribbon in the sun
on a bright day,” said a Canadian sol
dier back, with wound, from Ypres.
It takes a myriad of golden ribbons,
stretching from loyal pocketbooks to
Washington, and thence across the sea
to France, to keep the magazines of
those machine guns choked with steel
jacketed missiles that "shine like a
silver ribbon,” but they cut down the
Hun like a sickle of death.
The first and second Liberty loans
sufficed to put into France the rail
road builders and the foresters and
the first units of the forces for which
those pioneers made ready.
It is up to you, through the third
Liberty loan, to provide the bullets
and the guns for the American host
which is now ready to swoop down on
the German line, the host that will
throw back the Boche from his rush on
Amiens—hurl him back across his own
borders
If you would not have him falter in
his stride because he lacks a gun, a
<c)ip of bullets, or a bayonet; if you
would not have the artillery cease fir
ing because of lack of shells just when
he needs support the worst; if you
would not have the hospitals that dress
his wounds powerless to alleviate his
.pain because of lack of supplies—
Make your share of the third Lib
erty loan a wide and heavy one.
Cordova has thus far responded
nobly to the call for subscriptions,
and has not only passed her quota
of $47,000, but today nearly reaches
the $75,000 mark, and is likely to be
over $100,000 before the end of the
week. Telegraphic advices are to the
effect that Cordova has already been
awarded an honor Liberty flag, and
we should now all work to have a
couple of more stars added to it.
This can easily be done through a
ili little effort.
\ rro' night Cordova will launch
Bfelts Home Guard military company.
* BL'rom over two hundred names en
lied the first unit of 125 is to be
^ganized, and as the rifles and am
n'.mition are now on the way from
■Washington, it will not be long before
a well-drilled and disciplined company
will be in existence.

The affairs of the city will pass into
new hands today, and as the council
men-elect are all representative busi
ness men and citizens, the taxpayers
can look for a wise and economic ad
ministration of the municipality dur
ing the ensuing year.

WORK PROGRESSES
ON INTERIOR END OE
GOVERNMENT RAILROAD
That reports from the States to the
effect that there will be no work on
the Interior end of the government
railroad during the coming summer
are positively erroneous is emphat
ically stated by recent arrivals from
Fairbanks. At the present time more
than 500 men are employed at Fair
banks and Nenana, and preparations
are under way to put others on the
pay roll. Advices from Seattle are
that a call for bids for large quanti
ties of material has been issued, and
the contracts are to be awarded
within a few days, in order that some
of the freight may be started north at
once, to connect with the first river
boats.
As to other conditions in the In
terior, Fairbanksans say that all the
larger mining plants that worked last
year will operate again during the
coming summer, and the number of
small outfits will be about the same.
The agricultural industry, which has
developed greatly during the past few
years, will be given more attention
than ever. While the farmers of the
Tanana valley have supplied all the
"vegetables needed during the past
three years, this summer they will
give much more attention to wheat.
A movement is now on foot to import
machinery to manufacture as much
as possible of the flour needed for
home consumption.

A GROUP OF FOOD DISHES.
—
As we are not all alike fortunately
| In our tastes, each may find some dish
which he likes in
the good things
constantly being
combined.
Tripe Fricassee.
—Scrape a pound
of tripe, cut it In
small pieces and
cover with cold
water. Let it
stand for 15 minutes, remove the wa
ter and put over fresh water, wash
again and cover with cold water, then
simmer gently for five hours, add one
small onion chopped, after cooking,
drain off the water and add two cup
fuls of milk, a grating of nutmeg, salt
and pepper, stir until it boils. Re
move from the heat, add a yolk of egg,
mix well and serve hot.
Sardine Canapes.—Cut brown bread
in circles, spread with butter and heat
in the oven. Pound sardines to a
paste, add an equal amount of chopped
hard cooked eggs, season with lemon
juice, and Worcestershire sauce.
Spread on rounds of bread, garnish
eacli with the center circle of hard
cooked white with the riced yolk in
the center.
By adding potato to our bread we
will not only help in conserving the
flour but we will produce a product
which is both wholesome and palata
ble. Doughnuts, rolls and biscuits are
all improved by the addition of mash
ed potatoes.
Potato Bread.—Take one-third of a
cupful of hot water or milk, add two
teaspoonfuls each of salt, sugar and
fat, three cupfuls of mashed potato,
six cupfuls of flour and a half cupful
of yeast or a half cake of compressed
yeast and a fourth of a cupful of wa
ter. Put the hot water or milk, salt
fat, and sugar in a bowl, add the mash
ed potatoes to it and mix well, soften
the yeast in the wmter and add it to
the potatoes. Add one cupful of flour
and knead thoroughly, then the second
cupful kneading and stirring, then the
remaining cupfuls. This dough will
seem very stiff and difficult to knead,
but all the flour must be added or the
dough will be very' soft at the second
kneading. Let rise until double its
bulk, knead again and shape into
loaves. Let rise until double Its bulk
and bake in a moderate oven for 60
minutes. This will make two loaves.
There must bo no new cracks in out
Liberty bell now. Support our boys
with your Liberty bonds. The coun
try calls you to do this in the third
Liberty bond.

DELEGATE CONGRESS
Alaska
"In deciding to enter the primaries as a candidate for Delegate to Congress
'rom Alaska, I feel impelled to make a brief statement to the people of the
;erritory. It is now nearly a year since I was seated in the House as Alaska’s
•epresentative to congress. During the most of this time the United States
tas been engaged in a world war, and every resource of the nation, including
money and man power, is being devoted to the single purpose of winning this
jreat war. Every member of congress in considering legislation for the na
ion has placed the country s war needs above all needs and requirements and
tas subordinated his desires to the military establishment of the United States
“Alaska has responded nobly to the nation’s call. She has given her share
willingly and unstintingly. When the Democratic party went before the peo
ple of Alaska in November, 1916, it stood for a certain constructive
program which embodied as its principal elements a wider measure of
dome rule for the territory, and a sane and rational policy in the develop
ment of natural resources and every possible aid to the pioneers of the coun
ty.
“I have introduced among others the following bills in congress which I
lm pressing for passage as opportunity affords:
“Granting Alaska full territorial form of government with home rule the
iominating principle.
“Regulating the fisheries of Alaska along lines that will be fair to all, and
:he protection of the salmon supply from depletion.
“Making changes in the homestead laws by abolishing the eighty rod
reservation.
“Authorizing free surveys of homesteads in isolated sections.
“Changing the game laws so as to give the people a better opportunity to
use the game of the country without its being slaughtered.
“Extending the federal farm loan act to Alaska.
“Providing for the care of Alaska’s insane within the territory.
“At all times I have endeavored to keep constantly in mind the needs of
the territory and the people of the territory. In spite of the war some meas
ure of progress has been achieved. I have assisted in passing a law which
helped the prospector by suspending assessment work on claims during the
years 1917 and 1918. The extension of the wireless and cable system in Alas
ka has been accomplished with bright prospects for a further extension.
“Recognition has been forced for Alaska in the matter of appointments to
the second serids of training camps for officers. Contracts which prevented
the farmers of the interior from supplying army posts with their vegetables
are canceled.
“Suggestions and requests that I again go before the people of Alaska hare
jome to me from Alaskans all over the territory. Reiterating my desire to
serve the best interests of Alaska I am submitting my name as a candidate
for the democratic nomination for Delegate to Congress.”
