1 i^ml ANNIVERSARY OP INDE
PENDENCE DAY TO BE
GREATEST IN
HISTOKY
With groups representing 22 na
tionalities planning to take part,
indications are th*t the celebra
tion of the one hundred and forty
second aniversarv of Independent
Oay, July 4th. 1918, probably will
be the biggest ever undertaken in
the United States. On May 21 rep
resentatives of 22 nationalities ap
pealed to President Wilson to issue
u proclamation to the native-born
Americans of the Nation to unite
with the foreign born in order that
everyone may Join In commemorat
ing the anniversary of not only na
tional freedom, but of universal free
dom.
Forty-six representatives of so
cieties, including Armenians, Assyr
ian, Belgians, Chinese. Czecho-Siavs,
Oaxies. Dutch, Finns, French,
French-Canadias, Germans, Greek
Hungarians, Italians, Japanese. Li
thuanians, Norwegians, Poles, Por
tuguese, Russians, Roumanians,
South Slavs, Swede, and Swiss, unit
ed in the following appeal to Presi
dent Wilson:
To the President of the United
States:
Un the *'ourtn or juiy( k <o, me
founders of this Republic began
tile movement for human liberty aid
the rights of nations to govern
themselves. One hundred and forty
two years later we find the world
democracy, of which this Nation
was a pioneer, formidably- assailed
bv the powers of reaction and au
tocracy.
We represent those peoples whose
sons and daughters cam© to this
land later tnan the founders of the
Republic, but drawn by the same
ideals. The nations and races and
peoples wnich we represent are
taking their part, in one way or an
otner, in the struggle. Some, hap
pily, enjoying a political entity, »ra
fighting openly and with arms
against the enemies of progress.
Otiers, unhappily submerged, can
give out a passive opposition. Oth
ers have been forced against their
will into the armies of the com
mon enemy. Finally, a few still re
main outside, hard pressed, threat
ened by the mailed fist, dreading a
lik© to be drawn in and to be found
apart from the rest when the hour
of settlement arrives. But all, thru
infinite suffering, struggle either
blindly or open eyed toward the
same end—the right of people to
govern themselves as they them
selves see fit, and a just and last
ing peace. >.
The highest interests of the races
which we left behind haYe become
identical, in this significant year,
with the higher interests of the U-*
nited States. We regard ourselves
now not only as members of an A
merican commonwealth, one and in
divisiDle, but of a world common
wealth, equally indivisible. United
for the principles of that denxr
cratic world-stato which is fighting
now for its being on the battlefields
of Europe we intend, on uJly 4,
Ert6Hs>.'W6m6i\ otiarahtecmQ «
■next 'VeafrA Tood ^SuppTy
1918, 'to manifest, by special cele
>rations, our loyalty to this country
and to the cause for which we fight;
iad we respectfully request that you
call the attention o* your fellow citi
•ens to this fact, in order that they
may join with us in oommemorat"
ng this, the anniversary not only
of national freedom, but of uni
versal freedom.
THE Tl'RX OF THE TIDE
■The inevitabl parallel which his
torically Inclined minds find in the
present military situaton in France
is Gettysburg. The action along
the Marne now is thought by these
commentators to be the Gettysburg
o' the present war. In that case we
are not to have Peace speedily.
Though the power of the Confedei
acy waned constantly after the
high water mark of Gettysburg, it
"wag nearly two jears before the end
came. With Germany it is likely
to be still more delayed, because
the German Empire, even in its
existing dre Btrats, is much more
nearly self-supporting than the
Rebel States were. When we are
Planning for three or four million
men under arms, we are planning
for exactly what will be needed:
Plentv of men and a ffood deal of
time will *e required before Ger
many Is beaten.
SERVICES IN KETCHIKAN
ARE VERY IMPRESSIVE
Ketchikan, June 21. — A sen
ice that is not often witnessed in
Ketchikan or Alaska, and a most
impressive one. was held in St.
John's church, when the Rt. Rev.
P. T. Rowe, D. D., for twenty-three
years Bishop of Alaska, ordained to
the Holy Order of Deacons Mr. Rid.*
ard C credit Jenkins, to have charge
of the church, hospital and school
under the Bishop in Ketchikan.
After .Morning Prayer preparation
the service—consisting of the Holy
Communion, Litany, sermon and Or
dination — was conducted by the
Bishop, assisted by Dean Christian,
of Juneau ,v. ho presented the can
didate, certifying to hip examina
tion, good character in the Congre
gational ministry from which he
had come, etc. Rev. Harry Corser,
of Wrangell, assisted in the Ordina- j
tion, also.
The Rev. Mr. Jenkins is a native
of Wales, was educated in Eng
land and had charge of a Congrega
tional congregation near Seat
tle. He and his wife '
and daughter have taken resi-!
deuce in the Rectory. He expects
to make Alaska his life work, and
has already made an impression on
the community for his earnestness
ajid devotion to his high cailng. i
The Bishop on Wednesday eveuln j
confirmed a class of eleven persons
in Ketchikan, and four persos at
Wrangell.—Juneau Empire.
CHINESE JOE'S OLD
BUILDING TO DISAPPEAR
'
Judge N. L. Burton, United States
| Commissioner, has signed an order
to have China Joe's House on the
| corner of Main and Third streets
torn down, says the Juneau Empire.
China Joe's House was built in
the e^rly '90s from some of the
I first lumber sawed at Sheep Creek.
A saw mill was one of the early
industries on the channel. China
Joe by trade was a baker and ae
estaollshed the first bakery in Ju
neau. Still in the early '80s there
was flour famine in Juneau. The
boats were few and far between in
those days. The flour was con
trolled by a few merchants who had
it in stock—and by China Joe.
China Jo© came to the rescue and
loaned his flour to the prospectors
in Juneau, on condition, that they
would pay it back to him when the
boats arrived in the Spring:. In
this way he won a warm place in.
the hearts o' Juneau's old-timers.
In 1886, about the time of the
anti-Chinese agitation which was
stirring the whole West against
the Orientals, there was a crew" of
Chinamen employed by the Tread
well Company (this was before it
wag the property of the present
owners) and the people around the
channel, urged by the feeling that
was causing riots in Seattle and in
other coast cities, decided to drive
them out of Alaska.
The sourdoughs immedately came
to the rescue of China Joe. He,
who had saved the day in the win
ter of the flour famine, should not
'>e driven from them in this man
ner. China Joe, of all the China
men in Alaska, was allowed to stay.
His business thrived and he be
came prosperous, but his bakery al
ways occupied the same little build
ing.
China Joe remained in Juneau an
became one of its most respected
citizens. He died here last fall.
His little garden (did you ever
know a Chinaman who didn't have
a garden if he had a square foot
of soil to cultivate?) is still being'
..iken care of, though it is having
a hard time to grow in the shade
• f the City Hall and the Arctic
Brotherhood building,—and the last
his historic home will soon be
torn down because of its dilapidat
d condition.
AXOTHKK BEAR IS KK
("I'KKD BY GEORGE POLTA
George Folta, stenographer for
Gov. Thomas Riggs, Jr., killed his
leventh bear Saturday night on the
other side of Mt. Juneau.
Hearing that bear had been seen
>n Mt. Juneau, Mr. Folta figured
that they had gone down on the
other side of the mountain. Sat
.•dav night he climbed to the oth
•r side of the mountain by way of
Salmon Creek, saw game and got It.
Mr. Folta has a habit of getting
a bear about every week and It Is
rumored that he saw some more
this time that he is going to get
on next Saturday and Sunday. —Ju

Washington, July 1.—The U. S.
Shipping Board has allotted three
steamers to the Brazilian coffee
trade, to New York only, clear
ance July-August, rate $1.70 per
Dag. Suace on these vessels »1'1
be given by the War Trade Board
to importers of record for the cal
endar years 1916 and 1917. This
snould relieve the situation some
what. Care must be taken in the
program of cargo space economy
not to be to restrictive in dealing
with the coffee of Brazil. * A few
weeks ago the report was circulat
ed that imports of Brazilian eoffee
were to be materially reduced. It
has become a necessity in this
country, and last year we imported
1,287,000,000 pounds, of which
70 per cent came from Brazil.

because their owners wouldn't pay
the $25 tax on them; taxes on.
the remaining 10,000,000 dogs
would bring the governmeent $250,
000,000; the hides of the dead
dogs would furnish, leather for 290,

A STITCH IN TIME
Slokfffav People Should Not Negjeet
Thelrr Kidneys.
No kidney ailment is unimportant.
Don't overlook the slightest bacK
ache or urinary Irregularity. Nature
mav be warning you of approach
ing dropsy, gravel or Bright's di
sease. Kidney disease is seldom
fatal if treated in time, but neglect
may pave the wav. Don't neglect a
lame or aching back another day.
Don't Ignore dizzy spells, head
acnes, wearinees or depression. If
vou feel you need kidney help begin
using the reliable, time-tried rem
edy,- Doan's Kidney Pills. For 50
years, Doan's have been found ef
fective. Endorsed by grateful peo

C B. Wright, 1062 Second St..
Santa Rosa, Calif., says: "It was
several years ago and I Buffered
from backache and other symptoms
of kidney trouble. I had severe
pains across my kidneys and often
I could hardly get up or dowji. The
action of my kidneys was irregular,
causing me to get up several times
at night. A burning sensation at
tended the passages'of the kidney
secretions. Several boxes of Doan's
Kidney Pills regulated the action of
my kidneys and removed the back
ache."
