Now is
The Time
To advertise. If business is quiet
invigorate it by bringing your
wares before the buyer. No mer
chant ever succeeded by cutting
down his advertising Just because
money tightened up a little. On
the other hand the merchant who
gets the money is the one who
creates a demand for his wares
through the advertising columns
of the newspaper.
If you have something for sale
write up an advertisement telling
its merits. We will bring it be
fore the people and are confident
it will bring results. Try It.

DEMOCRATS FORM
ANOTHER CLUB
| Favors the Nomination of Robert
W. Jennings for Delegate
to Congress
A number of Democrats met at
the office of Smith & Bunnell on
Thursday night and organized a
preliminary cluh to he known as
lln» Valdez Democratic Campaign
Cluh of Valdez and Ileservation
precinct and adopted the follow
ing declaration of principles:
First. We are Democrats and
believe in applying the principle
of local self-government to the
territory of Alaska. To that end,
we favor the nomination of Hon.
Robert W. Jennings for delegate
to congress from Alaska. Mr.
Jennings has at all times ami in
all places been a strong and con
sistent advocate of "home rub' for
Alaska."
Second. It is the duly of the
general government to aid in the
development of the great resour
ces of the territory in the way
of removing and overcoming, so
far as possible, the natural ob
stacles thereto, by the building of
good roads from the coast to and
throughout the interior of the ter
ritory; the extension of the pub
lic surveys over Alaska; the in
stallation of light houses and of It
er aids to navigation along the
coast; the enactment of laws un
der which the coal, agricultural
and mineral lands of the territory
may be acquired and improved;
the location of a U. S. land office
in southwestern Alaska; because
of IJie situation of Alaska, remote
from the departments of the
government having control of the
public domain and the adminis
tration of governmental affairs,
we suggest that a commission of
competent engineers should be
appointed, to reside in Alaska,
which could report and make rec
ommendations upon all contem
plated public improvements re
quiring the expenditure of the
public funds.
Third. I.*. S. revenue cutters
fully equipped with wireless ap
paratus, should be stationed at
"all convenient points along the
coast of Alaska, and all towns
along the coast should be made
wiieless stations with competent
operators in charge at all hours,
day or night. The cable otTices
throughout the territory should
be kept open at all hours.
Fourth. The fishing industry
of the territory should be protect
ed, and a commensurate tax im
posed upon all canneries and
sal I cries.
We hereby pledge ourselves to
vote for and to do all in our pow
er to secure the election of the
nominee of the Democratic con
vention to meet in Valdez 011 the
29th of March, 1912, and at all
limes to support and advocate the
principles hereinabove enunciat
ed.
A committee was appointed to
secure the enrollment of Demo
crats who desire to join the club. J
A meeting will be held at 8:30
I), m. on Saturday, the J7th day
of February, at McKinlcy hall for
the purpose of electing permanent
officers and transacting such oth
er business as may come before
the. club.

James Fielder, I In* min«>i> who
suffered the loss »»f his i*i/-rlit hand
ami whose right letf was badly
bruised and lorn by a premature
dynamite explosion, is progress

is attending the snll'erer, states
that no sign of hlood poisoning
has yet appeared in the leg, as
might happen hv small pieces of
clothing or rock remaining im
bedded in I he flesh.
The physician stales that the
unfortunate's wounds are begin
ning to heal, hut that his vitality
is not as strong as he would wish.
Iled Doussen, formerly em
ployed at the Cliir mine, and who
was recently operated upon by
l)r. Sleem. is improving rapidly
and will soon he able In leave I lie
hospital.
Success for Valdez Sure.
Tlit» outlook for Valili1/. I his
summer was never better. (So! I
ail around and in hark of us; cop
per arross from us, dyke practi
cally assured, and 1 7 hank cases
out of .TJ ordered here for trial,
and it's likely the other 10 will
he here also--means 'i0 witness
es and big business for the mer-'
chants and everyone all summer
and fall.
Politics are warming up all ov
er the country. We have the Dem
ocratic convention, which meets
here the latter part of March and
Republican primaries, and the
elect ion* for delegate and presi
dential nomination and election.
Taken all in all the outlook never
looked heller. Although Valdez
is quirt, it's not the only place,
as there is the same general de
pression all over until the presi
dential aspirants arc chosen and
decided upon. So from a promis
ing standpoint Yahlex outranks
them all on account of having
some of the advantages mention
ed, which no other town in Alas
ka will have this year. The GlilT
is about on a paying basis again,
and look al tin1 new stamp mills
ordered, so there will also he a
big demand for.mining men. The
road commission, which has al
ways done its best for Valdez.
again ask for liberal appropria
tions, and it looks as though, if
all these expectations are realiz
ed, Valdez will have to import help
from other places to carry on the
work.
Bringing this to a close, not
from an advertising standpoint,
it's fair for you to know the Big
Place is again boosting.
