QUALIFICATION OF
VOTERS, NOVEMBER 2
Section 23 of the 1915 session laws
of the territory of Alaska provides as
follows: “Any person who can quali
fy as a legal voter in the division in
which he or she attempts or offers
to vote, may qualify and vote in any
election precinct in such division.”
This provision of the law is intended
to enable residents of the territory to
vote wherever they may be on elec
tion day; provided they are citizens
of the United States, twenty-one
years of age, and have resided one
year in the territory and thirty days
in the division.
A quartet of local hunters had poor
luck yesterday wiien they scoured
the head of the bay and the Nash
road vicinity for birds. The sports
men, Leon Urbach, Joe Badger, Andy |
Novak and A. E. Rucker, brought
back but two lame ducks.
Once in awhile a movie of excep
tional merit comes to Seward. To
night is one of them.

w For Better Rubbers
Don’t ask for “Pacs” but ask for
THE “BALL-BAND” YUKON
especially designed and built
for the men of Alaska.
Only the best quality of pure gum rubber is used and the
shoe is vulcanized by Special Process, thoroughly uniting
all parts of the upper, the sole, the stays and linings into
a one-piece construction that defies hard wear. The
sturdy rubber bottom is well reinforced where other
rubbers soon wear through.
Rubbers built like these will stand freezing, scuffing,
stubbing and the daily grind of working in rock or wet
gravel.
l
Set a pair of “Ball-Band” Yu
kons beside a pair of any other
brand—compare the finish and
the workmanship — you can
easily see that the “Ball-Band”
shoe is superior.
Then remember that “Ball-»
Band” footwear is worn by nine
and one-half million people, who
have learned by experience that
the Red Ball trade-mark stands
' for the utmost in quality,
service, and satisfaction.

SHORT CUSS MINING
BEGINS HT COLLEGE
PRACTICAL SHORT COURSE IN
MINING SHOWS LARGER EN
ROLLMENT YEARLY
The gold pan is a useful tool for
valuing gold bearing ores but too firm
a dependence upon the gold pan often
plunges the prospector into difficul
ties. When it is desired to know ac
curately how much the ore averages,
assays should be systematically taken
as a check on panning.
Failure to do this led to many dis
I appointments and financial losses. The
| quartz miner in Alaska, because of
I previous placer experience, depends
iupon the gold pan more than does the
! miner in any other section on the con
j tinent. All quartz mines on a produc
ing basis should have a daily assay
'control over both the operation of the
mine and mill.
There is nothing mysterious about
the ordinary fire assay for gold and
silver, and for this reason this work
is offered to the Mining Short Course
men at the Alaska college. This
course under Professor Weiser has ,
always been a popular one, the men 1
enjoying the actual operation of 'the !
'assay furnace. The prospector cannot'
transport assay equipment about with j
him in the hills but the small mine j
operator can put his training to good
use and it is chiefly for his benefit
that this work is offered.
The Short Course starts November
first. Board and room can be secured
at the college dormitory for $55.00
per month which beats “batching.”
Those who desire to live in the dormi
tory should make reservations as ear
! ly as possible.
1885. He served as grand secretary
and treasurer of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive firemen for many years,
1880 to 1893 and was then elected
president of the American Railway
Union which post he held from 1893
to 1897.
In 1897 and 1898 he served as chair
man of the National Council Social
Democracy, and in 1900 was the can
didate of the Social Democratic party
for President of the United States.
As president of the American Rail
way Union he won a large strike on
the Great Northern R. R., and while
managing a still larger strike of
Western roads in 1894 he was charged
with conspiracy, but acquitted; then
he was charged with violation of an
injunction and sent to jaiL for six
months for contempt of court.
He was four times the candidate
of the Socialist party for President
of the United States, in 1904, 1908,
1912, and 1920.
In 1915 he was appointed Chancel
lor of the People’s College, working
class institution at Fort Scott, Kan.
He was convicted of violating the
espionage law by opposing the draft
laws in 1917, and was sentenced to
imprisonment for 20 years. In spite
of this he was nominated for the
presidency by the Socialist party in
1920.
