NO MILITARISM IN ALASKA
Alaska, with a surface of SOO.OOO
square miles, is garrisoned only by 190
doughboys, according to reports com
piled at Ninth Corps Area headquar
ters. There are about ninety members
of the Signal Corps in Alaska, in
charge of most communication in the
territory, including the Washington
Alaska Military Cable and Telegraph
Service, which links Alaska with the
United States.
There are 353 members of the Unit
ed States Army in the territory, in
eluding officers, infantrymen, Signal
Corps and auxiliary branches.
It has been suggested that the fifty
seven varieties of bureaus having to
do with Alaska beloaned to Europe
to readjust her economic affairs. What
has Europe done to merit this?
With Uncle Sam feeding half of Eu
rope and now called upon to get her
out of her economic tangle, verily it
is a case of “bring up father.
Judging by the number of people
crowding the hospitals in New York
as a result of slipping on the ice it
would appear that even subway signs
have failed to teach the easterners tc
watch their step.

fOUR GREAT FEARS
41 COUNT'EM
Four great fears accompany you from
your home to your work and remain
with you throughout the day—
1* The fear of your family being
left unprovided for;
2. The fear of a penniless old age
for yourself;
3. The fear of loss of income from
total or partial disablement;
4. The fear of losing what you
have accumulated.
TVould it be worth anything to you to have these
fear* eliminated from your life—to know that you
were shielded by a complete circle of protection?
A line to us will brim? you full details without com*
mitting you to any action.

nation today of Wm, D. Coppernoll,
Seward attorney, for the position of
United States Attorney for this dis
trict, the Third Judicial Division of
the Territory of Alaska, comes as a
pleasing climax to many years of loy
alty and endeavor. And so today, Mr.
Coppernoll is justly receiving the con
gratulations from his many friends,
and they are legion. It is a foregone
conclusion that his nomination will
be confirmed by the Senate.
Wm. D. Coppernoll was born at Can
ajoharie, N. Y., on June 9, 1S64. He
was admitted to the Bar of Illinois, at
Chicago, in 1897. In 1S94 he went to
Montana; practiced law there until
1S99, moving then to Idaho where he
remained during the years of 1900-01.
During the latter part of the year of
1901 he went to Nevada locating at
Tonopah. nl 1904 he moved to Austin,
Nevada, and resumed the practice of
law. In 1910 he was elected a mem
ber of the legislature from Lander
County. He left the latter place in
1912, for Alaska, where he has been
located ever since.
Attorney Coppernoll located in Sew
ard in the month of April, 191!j, and
the following year, 1915, was appoint
ed city attorney by the City Council
! of the Town of Seward. At the mu
j nicipal election of 1916 he was elected
j City Attorney of Seward. During the
j years of 1922 and 1923 he served, un
der Judge E. E. Ritchie as United
States Commissioner at McCarthy.
Since that period he has been prac
1 ticing law in Seward.
CITIZENS APPROVE ACTION
Many expressions of approval have
been voiced by citizens of Seward*
over the action of the town council in
having the sidewalks and streets clear
ed of the heavy snow, permitting the
resuming of regular traffic. In par
ticular, the action means the fire haz
ard is cut down to a minimum as the
department may now reach any fire,
which may occur, without being handi
capped by snow conditions.
Pedestrians may now walk in com
fort instead of plowing thru snow
; knee-deep. Visitors commented on
the fine condition of the walks this
morning, especially those going to
the depot. Automobile are running to
all parts of th town with little diffi
culty.

ferent occasions, Cooper has remain
ed steadily in Alaska. Those two
trips Outside lasted but a few weeks
each time. Together with his broth
er, Cooper now owns one of the most
promising looking placer properties
in the Cache Creek region. In all they
have about twelve claims each one
having an excellent showing of gold
which runs in size from the size of
rice to a coffee bean. Lack of water
to the property has handicapped op
erations thus far but it is hoped that
this difficulty will soon be overcome.
Shoveling in last summer the broth
ers startled themselves with the large
amount of gold recovered within a pe
riod of a few days. To date they have
invested a considerable sum of money
in development work and in equip
ment, but as to the future outcome
of their investment they have not the
slightest doubt in the world. Mr. Coop
er expects to get back on the ground
sometime next month. His brother
will probably arrive from Seattle, some
weeks later.
