RED CROSS POOL
ON BREAKUP FOR
IOE YARN FUND
Ladies Will Be Out With Lists This
Afternoon, Inviting Public to
Help.
The Red Cross ladies of Xenana
have started an ice pool, which will
be launched this afternoon and con
tinued until tomorrow night at mid
night. The ladies will be out in
force this afternoon, just as soon
as the lists are ready, and all ladies
who desire to assit are urged to
call at the Cooney hotel, where they
will be supplied with lists.
Guesses on when the ice will move
will be fifty cents each, and the re
ceipts will be div.ded fifty-fifty—
half to go to the winner and the
other half to the Red Cross Yarn
fund, which stands greatly in need
of assistance.
The pool was decided on at a
meeting of the ladies, held at the
Xenana club rooms this afternoon,
and they are hopeful of raising a
considerable sum of money in this
manner. The cause is a worthy one
and the public of Xenana is urged
to make the pool a success.

Chena Slough Rising Slowly, But
Still Far From Mark Permitting
Ico Movement.
Advices received from Fairbanks
today state that the ice in Chena
slough apparently is still as solid
as it was at any time during the
winter and the water has risen s o
slightly that there appears little in
dication of a breakup. The rise re
ported is only seventeen inches, and
it is believed that the water will
have to come up another two or
three feet before any ice movement
can be expectd. There are many
who believe the ice will not go out
of the slough before May 15.
The water also must rise consid
erably in the Tanana river before
a breakup can be expected in front
of Nenana, the rise being variously
estimated at from a few inches to
several feet. There are those, any
way, who are willing to wager that
the ice will not move this week,
their opinion being based on the
absence of water and the continued
cold weather.
REV. Z1NN APPOINTED
DELEGATE FROM ALASKA
Rev. Geo. John Zinn, of Valdez,
has been appointed a delegate by
Bishop Rowe to attend a conference
of the Episcopal church of the Pa
cific coast states. Alaska, Honolulu
and the Philippine Islands, to be held
some time next fall at Seattle, Wash
ington. Two delegates will be ap
pointed from the territory and Rev.
Zinn has been named as one of
them, the other having not yet been
named.
Two heart beat one no.
PHYSICALLY PERFECT
1
Dr. Jos. A. Silverman, of Valdez,1
states that the young men appear
ing before him for examination in
connection with the draft are the
finest body of men he has ever seen.
He has been compelled to reject
one man out of the lot and states
that the balance were physically
perfect, not even a tooth being miss
ing. This shows, says the Valdez
Miner, that Alaska has a healthful
climate and that the strenuous
sports of this country aid in the
physical development of her people.
Repairs and alterations have been
made to the Government cottages to
accommodate the soldiers of the 14th
Infantry detachment, who recently
arrived in Seward for guard duty.
A sentry house and gate have been
built at the wagon approach to the
Seward docks, and none but those
holding passes are permitted to ap
proach the docks after dark.

Large Numbes of Oldtimer* Gathe
At Union Hall and Enjoy
Entertainment.
Notwithstanding the fact tha
many men have left town during th
past few days, in response to th
eall of the Alaskan Engineerin
commission for additional workers
the smoker given by N'enana Igloc
Pioneers of Alaska at Union hall o:
Monday evening was one of the mos
largely attended affairs ever stage
by the organization of oldtimer!
And the program rendered was on
of the best seen in Xenana.
The hit of the evening, of course
was the three-round “go” betweei
Pete Schmidt’s bantams’ Ira (Snow
'ball) Campbell and Clifford Noellei
the two forty-pound youngsters wh<
made their debut recently at th<
Coliseum. The boys showed market
improvement in their bout at thi
smoker, having developed both speec
and ring generalship to a profes
sional degree ander the carefu
tutorage of Pete Schmidt.
The exhibition was so thoroughlj
enjoyed that money was thrown intc
the ring from every part of the hall
the testimonial totaling twenty-three
dollars.
The other members on the pro
gram included: an address by Steve
O’Neil, vocal selection by Messrs.
Palmer and Hancock; instrumental
duet, violin and guitar, by Berggren
and Sellander; reading by Geo. W.
Pennington: poem by R. C. Morriss;
stories by Frank Rourke; address by
H. C. Curtis, and remarks by E. E.
Dilley and George Moody, visiting
members from Fairbanks.
The program was followed by a
sourdough spread.
Remember the place, ladies. The
schaolhouse, on Saturday.
SMITH WILL DRILL TONIGHT
Sergeant Louis Smith announce;
that he will conduct the drill at
Union hall tonight, the work to start
at seven o'clock. In addition tu
the regular instruction, Sergeant
Smith will explain the different
forms of trench digging and de
fenses, that new art in modern war
fare which has developed to a high
degree during the present war.
It’* for a good cause and your
help is needed on Saturday.
NOTICE
Will holders of overdue library
books please return them just as
soon as possible.
There are books out long past due.
Unless ubscribers cooperate with
us in living up to the necessary rules
the library will have to be removed
to a place where it will probably
be less generally useful, but possible
to keep tabs on it.
k-12 H. B. JOSEPH.
A telegram received at Valdez
recently by the steamship office
states that at the request of Food
Administrator Gunnison and to en
able the farmers in the vicinity of
Anchorage to dispose of their sur
plus stock, and also to avoid a
shortage of food products, the ship
ping board has been asked for au
thority to publish a rate of four
dollars per ton, effective immedi
ately, on potatoes shipped from An
chorage to Southwestern ports of
call, good on all Alaska steamships.
This will materially help the con
servation of foodstuffs says the Val
dez Miner, as farmers of Matanuska
are reported to have a large stock
of old potatoes on hand which they
are unable to get rid of.
On March 1, there were 18 inches
of snow on the ground at Anchor
age; on March 31, there were 11
inches. To March 31, a total of 76
inches of snow have fallen since
October.
The Valdez aerie of Eagles have
subscribed $500 n|§pe to the pur
chase of Liberty Loah bonds, 'mak
ing $24,000 now invested by the
Eagles in War Saving Stamps and
Liberty Loan bonds.

CAMPBELL’S ARE
COMING A! COLISEUM
A picturization of what is re
corded in history as perhaps one of
the most dramatic of war occur
rences, will be presented at the
Coliseum tomorrow evening, under
the name of “The Campbell’s are
Coming.”
The story deals with the relief
of Lucknow, in Interior India, dur
ing the famous Indian mutiny, and
in the presentation of this play the
directors have used two thousand
five hundred people.
General Havelock, with a small
force of British soldiers was shut
up in Lucknow, besieged by thous
ands of the murderous Indians. En
cumbered by women and children,
he was unable to make any offensive
movements against the foes, even if
his troops permitted, and was forced
to remain there in hopes that help
would come.
In the meantime the British gov
ernment was hurrying reinforce
ments to the aid of the general os
fast as possible, and Sir Colin Camp
bell was placed at the head of a
force of “kilties” to effect the re
lief of Lucknow. He had need to
hurry. Exposed to the incessant
fire of the enemy, whose shot
pierced every part of their retreat
except the cellars, where the women
and childrn found shelter, the Brit
ish soldiers at Lucknow were falling
fast. Month after month rolled
away without a sign of succor, and
the horrible tragedy impending
seemed nearer each day.
Finally, on the day when the In-!
dians were making the final pre
praa,tions for their drive on the
gates of the city, one of the young
I
■
women heard, beyond the circle of
the yelling, bloodthirsty foes, the
distant sound of Highland music,
and as it earner nearer, caug-ht the
familiar notes of the well known
sir. The Campbell's Are Coming."
The thrilling: manner in which the
rescue is effected and the splendid
complement of scenic views, com
bine to make the picture an excep- *
j tionally strong: attraction,
j The usual popular prices will pre
vail, namely, admission 25c, with
reserved seats a quarter extra.
