ALASKA WILL SEND A
TEAM TO RIFLE MEET
(Juneau Empire.)
Alaska will be represented by a ci
vilian rifle team at the Jacksonville
rifle encampment and the members of
the team will leave Juneau tomorrow
night on the Prince George.
A joint meeting of the Treadwell
and Thane club members was held
last night at Treadwell and fourteen
men signified their willingness to go
under the regulations as laid down.
The men will furnish their own sub
sistence but transportation will be fur
nished by the government.
It is understood by all of the men
on the team that there is little chance
for them to win anything in the con
tests, but the experience is what they
need and for that reason they are go
ipg. Many of the men on the team
have never fired a Springfield rifle and
have never had any experience on a
military rifle range, and for that rea
son do not expect to be among the
winners. This is only the start and in
years to come the experience gained
by the men on this trip will be invalu
able to future teams.
Fred V. Berger, of Juneau, has been
chosen as the team captain, as he is an
expert shot and has had years of ex
perience on rifle ranges. The team
consists of twelve men and will be
picked from among the following:
Fred V Berger and Floyd F. Gibson,
of Juneau, K. K. Durum, Hugo Ander
son, W. J. Anderson, L. J. Higley, A.
R. Edwards, O. C. Allen, George Swar
va and William Christensen, of Tread
well, F. M. Jardine, W. Nelson, James
Serrott and Colvin, of Thane.

HEBREWS START CAMPAIGN
FOR $2,000,000 CHARITY FUND
NEW YORK, Oct. 10.—A system
atic campaign to raise $2,000,000 for
charity by December 1 was started in
New York today by the Federation
for the Support of Jewish Philanthro
pic Institutions.
Dispensation of the fund will take
place during 1917. The federation will
act as a co-operative clearing house for
both collection and dispensation and
thus hopes to abolish duplication of ef
fort amongst the 100 odd New York
charities gathered under its banner.
Under the regulations each of the
participating charities is to have at
least as much money applied to it as
in average years heretofore. In addi
tion to the fund for this distribution
the federation intends to collect a sur
plus of $200,000 for general work.
This brings the total needed to $2,000,
000. A decreased soliciting cost and
goodwill on the part of the givers, be
cause once giving they will be assured
of not being solicited again, are de
pended on to yield the sum aimed at.
UNIQUE COMEDY AT
EMPRESS TONIGHT
“What's His Name,” with Max Fig
man, the inimitable comedian in the
principal role, should prove a very in
teresting photoplay presented at the
Empress theatre this Thursday and
Friday, October 26 and 27. It is a
unique comedy of stage life. The
Btory has to do with man’s jealousy
of the attention paid his wife, who
has won success, a big salary and
arouses intense interest of a million
aire man-about-town, after raising
from a chorus girl to the star of the
show in which she appears. Infatua
tion for the millionaire man-about
town, wine and expensive suppers, the
wife leaves for Reno, for the purpose
of securing a divorce. Shortly after
her arrival at Reno, second sober
thought convinces her that she has
been disillusioned by the millionaire
man-about-town, and, after seeing
both sides of life she decides to go
back to the old, the better side. The
added feature is to be Pathe Weekly
News, always interesting, entertain
ing and edifying.
