THE LAST STAMPEDE
One by one the old-timers are going over the great div
ide. confident and unafraid. When we look about the town
and note the vacancies in the ranks it brings a feeling of
sadness to those of us who knew the old boys when their
backs were straight and they were youthful and vigorous,
imbued with hope and careless of hardships. Up to the
present time this year, two of the best known and most-miss
ed veterans of the trail have departed on their last mush:
Thomas Hunt and Ed Banzer. By the end of the present
year a number of others will probably join the last stam
pede. Their day is past; they have fought the fight, and
now rest in the silent city of the dead. Could they come
back to the world they have known within the next one hun
dreds years what changes will they find?
The oldtimer has filled his day. He has penetrated the
fastnesses of the frozen North: he has opened up great dist
ricts of hitherto unknown country: his feet have trod where
none have gone before. In his eagerness to see what lay
beyond he has scratched over great areas in search of gold,
often finding nothing, but never discouraged. His adven
tures and narrow escapes from death are taken as a matter
of course and one never hears of them, save by accidental
conversation.
The younger generation can never follow in his foot
steps because they are more gregarious and less hardened to
the intense toil to be found in prospecting. They love the
white lights and comforts of the towns and camps. In time,
they too, will become grizzled and bent; racked with rheu
matic pains and bad stomachs caused by sedentary lives.
Some day a monument will be erected to the old pros
pector. His memory will be perpetuated in bronze. But
to those of us who have known him as he was we need no
monuments to cherish his memory and appreciate his deeds.
We will never see his type of manhood again.—Valdez
Miner.

between organization on one hand and lack of it on the other.
Too often business men do not understand and appre
ciate the value of organized cooperation.
Cities that want to keep their proper place in the March
of Progress and Development must keep awake.
Home city boosters always have the same object in
view, and that is making the home city a better, bigger,
brighter and busier city.
When home city boosters have the support of the entire
citizenship there is little question about the growth of the
city. The only question could be “How fast will it grow?”
BARRYMORE IS
STARRED FILM
DREAMSUNDAY
The spirit of courage and enthus
iasm which President Roosevelt
championed in his inauguration ad
dres- finds dramatic expression in
L. nel Barrymore’s newest tarring
vehicle. "Looking Forward” which
comes Sunday to the Dream Theat
re as a new production from Met
ro-Gold wyn -Mayer Cosmopolitan
who recently produced the sensa
tional "Gabriel Over the White
House".
Sponsored by President
Dedicated to the hopeful attitude
e emplified by the President, the film
employs the same title of "Looking
Forward" which he used for his best
selling book, although the action of
the motion-picture is not based on
the Roosevelt work. The following
sentence, however, from the book
is used as the screen play’s foreword:
“We need enthusiasm, imagination
a d ability to face the facts—we need
the courage of the young.”
The picture, wrhich deals with the
lives of two business men is unique
in respect to its handling of two
stories in one. The life of a mil
lionaire department-store owner
whose wife deserts him when he
faces financial ruin is counter-balan
ced with the story of the humble
employee who likewise is baffled by
his ability to meet his payments and
keep his home together, but whose
family prove their loyalty when he
most needs it.
Lionel Barrymore plays the lead,
assisted by Lewis Stone, Benita
Hume, Elizabeth Allan, Phillips Hol
mes, Colin Clive Alec B. Francis,
Douglas Walton Viva Tattersall
Lawrence Grant, George K. Arthur,
Charles Irwin and Billy Bevan.
"Looking Forward" is based on
the C L. Anthony stage play, ‘Ser
vice,’. The picture was directed by
Clarence Brown, who has produced
most of the Joan Crawford and
Greta Garbo successes. It is the first
production since “The Son-Daugh
ter".
