In the waters off the entire coast of Alaska, hair seal are found in large numbers and are not strangers to Resurrection Bay, particularly during this period of the year when they gather here for the breeding season. Here is an opportunity with latent possibilities and an accessible market worth investigating. April 5 will be the Finnish of Finland’s dry law. Hundreds of thous ands of bottles of liquor have been ordered to celebrate the discarding of the obnoxious law. The man who sits around town wondering what will happen and predicting slim pickings for the summer, ought to take a hike out and watch the tie-hackers making their own prosperity. The trouble with many who get into the limelight is that they ne glected the lime juice too long. T lLlu ! Illii 3 i ii! Llilui “Again I take this means of tell ing the voters that I would like to be elected Mayor at tomorrow’s election. During the past year I have discharged the duties of the office to the best of my ability. I l have made some mistakes, but, from them I have learned a lot which, I believe, will enable me to be a better executive this coming year, should you see fit to keep me in office. “I have not been ‘persuaded’ to run for office by any individual or clique seeking to control city af fairs. “I have made no agreements, either verbally or written, with Councilmen, candidates or voters. I believe it is an unhealthy public policy for an officeholder or can didate to place a restriction as to whom he will, or will not, serve with. If elected I shall be glad to serve with anyone the voters place in office. “One of the oldest political tricks is, by insinuation, to create the be lief that opponents foster an act that would be obnoxious to the voters. To dispose of such propa ganda. I wish to state here that I have not. at any time, advocated curtailment of necessary school ex penses and neither has the present Council. They proved their strong support of the school by unani mously giving the School Board everything asked for; including the extra expense cf $25 a month to ward the rent of Dreamland Hall for a gymnasium. “The assumption of one group of candidates that they have a great er right to the title of taxpayer than the others is unwarranted “I believe it is easily shown that the Council, this past year, has ac complished more, dollar for dollar, than any preceding administra tion. The expenditures were, I think, something like $15,000 less than the year before. “The Council meetings for the past year have been orderly and free from acrimony. There was no favoritism or attempt to coerce. “I will do my utmost to have the city budget balanced and will dis courage any new and unnecessary expenditures. “In conclusion, I thank the mem bers of the Council, and the citi zens, for the many courtesies shown me the past year. “DON CARLOS BROWNELL.” (Paid Advertisement) WHERE ALASKANS MEET HOTEL ATWOOD Ted Taylor, Prop.
