It might be well for the Anchor
age Chamber of Commerce to look in
to the matter of establishing a naval!
radio station at this place. Lieut. C.
H. Maddox recently made a hurried
trip of inspection in regard to the
feasibility of Anchorage as the prop
er point but left without giving out
any definite information as to his de
cision. However, it is understood
from government officials that Lieut.
Maddox’ trip was merely preliminary
and in the meantime action on the
part of the Chamber of Commerce in
connection with The Daily Times
might bring about the desired and
plausible result.

Shattered Dream
of Two Knikites
A partnership of unusual interest
was recently formed in Knik in which
two local characters and four live bob
cats were the contracting parties.
Alex Frazier, who is a second Dan
iel Boone, captured, with his bare
hands, four live, spitting, snarling bob
cats in the adjoining woods and
brought them captive to Knik. Farm
er Mitchell, a direct offspring of Cin
cinnatus and the model gardener of
that community, put the 50-50 propo
sition to Alex and the deal was made
and the papers signed before the ne
cessary witnesses.
Farmer Mitchell got his hunch from
recent literature sent out by the Hud
son Bay Fur company giving quota
tions on bob cat furs that have taken
an unprecedented jump in the quota
tion columns on account of the unpar
alleled demand for furs by the Rus
sian soldiers. Alex Frazier, being of
that spirit and ever on the lookout
for an opportunity just naturally took
a chance.
On paper the life of the contract
was for three years but in reality the
partnership lasted exactly from 4:00
o’clock Monday afternoon until some
time the following morning. It seems
that the four bob cats were not tak
en into consultation nor were their
feelings considered and it was back
to the woods for them. Farmer Mit
chell is additional loser of four fat
hens, a valuable malamute pup and a
| house cat and with Alex it was anoth
er shattered dream of wealth.
Mr. Mitchell and Mr. Frazier are
still on speaking terms.
Loussac Buys
Northern Drug
The Anchorage Daily Times is au
thorized to announce the sale of the
stock and fixtures of the Northern
Drug company to Z. J. Loussac, who
took possession yesterday afternoon.
The Anchorage store, a branch of
the Northern Drug company, of Cor
dova, was under the management of
V. A. Schmitz, who will remain in the
city a few weeks to attend to busi
ness matters and collect the outstand
ing bills.
A. J. Adams, one of the principal
owners, will leave on the steamer
Mariposa to resume his connection
with the Cordova store.
In buying the Northern Drug com
pany’s stock and fixtures Mr. Lous
sac further identifies himself with the
business of Anchorage and shows his
belief in the future of this city.
It is Mr. Loussac’s intention to re
model and rearrange the interior of j
the building in keeping with the par
ent drug store, with Mr. Colpe in
charge.
“SHORE ACRES.”
This stirring five-reel film is of
course based upon the ciassic by the
late James A. Herne, of the same
name. The scenario was written by
Louis Reeves Harrison whose judg
ment as to film values is of the best.
Augustus Thomas, the playwright, is
the producer of the All Star Feature
corporation. This fact guarantees the
scenic and dramatic value of “Shore
Acres,” w'ere any guarantee needed.
“Shore Acres” is interpreted by a
cast of Broadway favorites. Among
them are: Charles A. Stevenson,
: William Riley Hatch, Violet Horner,
Conway Tearle, E. J. Connelly, Harry
Knowles, Gladys Fairbanks, and many
•thers.
Talented as these players are, they
had an advantage not often given to
the player of film drama. They acted
before the camera in the scenes which
the manuscript of the original Heme
play described, on the coast of Maine.
“Shore Acres” will be shown at the
Harmony theatre for three nights,
conjmencing tomorrow, Thursday.
The usual admission of 25 cents will
prevail. 9-12-lt
