THE BUBBLE BURSTS
Certain facts are presented in Emery Valentine’s
statement today which the good people of this division
should not lose sight of.
He denies all knowledge of the alleged affidavit
against Tom Marquam, purported to have been signed by
him. That’s one fact!
The notorious Rev. S. Hall Young letter was never
written by Rev. Young. That’s another fact!
And he assigns the authorship of that scurrilous doc
ument and the Rev. Young letter to James Wickersham,
Sutherland’s right hand man. That’s also a fact!
Flat on his back for nearly fifty days, unabki to raise
his voice in protest in regards to the wanton use of his
name, Mr. Valentine, contrary to the belief, shall we say
hopes~of Mr. Wickersham and his cohorts, recovered
from his serious illness and at the first opportunity
BRANDS AS FALSE THE AFFIDAVIT CIRCULATED
ABOUT, BY SUTHERLAND HIRELINGS, in an effort
to defeat Mr. Marquam’s candidacy for delegate to con
gress. Was there any mud slinging prior to the circula
tion of that document? NO! Then came the Rev. Young
letter attacking Marquam. BOTH UNDERHANDED,
UNDERCOVER, DIRTY POLITICS! Marquam, on the
other hand, has confined his accusations of Sutherland
BACKED UP BY OFFICIAL* RECORDS, out in the
open for all to hear and judge.
Mr. Valentine calls ’em cowards and traitors. He
can do that because he came back when, literally speak
ing, ‘he had one foot in the grave.’ They did not get away
with their campaign of character assassination because
Mr. Valentine did not die.
And so, the bubble which grew to the size of a bal
loon, when pricked with a truthful array of facts, burst!
PERSONNA NON GRATA
The missing link has again been discovered, but tell
it not in Dayton, Tennessee, nor in Alaska.
Just what is the wave length of a piece of limburger
cheese?
The crossword puzzles having exhausted their vogue,
some one might devise a game of “Find Aimee’s cabin.”

MORE 1 NAVY DAY
(Continued from Page One)
ceive the time o£ arrival of vessels
through the naval radio communica
tion service. During cable interrup
tions your newspapers are still deli
vered to you with the days happen
ings by means of the naval radio com
munication service in Alaska, bridg
ing over the break.
All U. S. government and territor
ial traffic is handled free, therefore
we participate in assisting to reduce
the cost of the government doing
by handling commercial traffic is
business. The money which we earn
turned into the U. S. Treasury to be
reappropriated by congress for any
project, not necessarily radio work.
There is scarcely a distress call in
the Pacific ocean made by a vessel
that some naval Alaskan radio sta
tion does not receive. All radiomen
are thoroughly drilled in the fact that
distress messages from vessels at sea
are our most prior traffic during
peace times. Immediately upon re
ceipt of a distress message each sta
tion endeavors to transmit the infor
mation to headquarters at Cordova,
even if radio interference has permit
ted them to receive only fragments.
At Cordova we piece these reports
from two, three or four stations to
make a complete report. Immediate
ly the work commences to notify all
shipping in the North Pacific; Cor
dova keep a record of their move
ments; U. S. Coast Guard service at
Unalaska, Juneau and Seattle and the
naval authorities at Puget Sound as
well as the press.
We feel that it is a pleasure to
serve Alaska and Alaskans. We also
feel that we are an asset to Alaska
and are helping to build Alaska. We
believe in the word Service and rea
lize that the more Service we can
give to Alaska the larger asset we will
be. Navy Day is the Navy’s oppor
tunity to extend to the public an in
vitation for inspection. It is a day
for receiving the citizens of our coun
try on board ship and at the various
shore stations. We regret that the
Navy department has been unable to
assign ships to visit the various Al
askan ports, so that you could be giv
en an opportunity of seeing the navy
at work and at play.

DOROTHY CANFIELD’S
“The Home Maker”
Starring
ALICE JOYCE —CLIVE BROOK
Here is a startling picture that seethes with
human drama, that upsets all your pat conventions
of woman’s place in the home and man’s place in
business. It is vital, big in conception, sensational
in its revelation of unspoken truths.... It is a picture
even more powerful than the widely read novel.
