In order to help defray the expen
ses of the Seward trip the baseball
boys are going to give a dance Satur
day night at Robarts’ hall. Seward
has guaranteed $300, but this amount
will not be sufficient to meet the ne
cessary expenses. The proceeds of
the dance will be turned over to the
baseball management after deducting
actual expenses of music, rental and
incidentals. Miss Marion Reed and
trap accompaniment will furnish the
music and everything possible will
be done to make the dance a success,
even to a cool, refreshing punch that
will be free to the dancers.
There is one important industry in
Anchorage that is little known but
whose products demand a ready sale.
The Young brick yard located near
Chester creek, about one mile from
Anchorage, has turned out 70,000
brick to date and C. J. Young says
the season’s output will reach in the
neighborhood of 200,000 brick. This
yard has supplied most of the brick
for chimneys and fire places in An
chorage and compares favorably with
outside brick and were used for the
facing in the Chamber of Commerce
building.
Mr. Young has only the one kiln at
the present but is planning on doub
ling the capacity of the yard next
year by the installation of an addi
tional kiln and making further im
provements in connection with this
important industry.
Tourists Did Not
Go Over the Line
Twenty-seven of the thirty-one
tourists on board the Mariposa came
ashore at Anchorage and without ex
ception expressed themselves as being
very much disappointed in not being
able to take the excursion trip to the
Matanuska valley, as planned.
Officials representing the Alaskan
Engineering Commission and the city
administration did all in their power
to give .the tourists an opportunity to
see this country and the government:
widely advertised on the outside.
A notice was posted in the social
room of the Mariposa at Seward under j
the signature of Chairman Wm. C. >
Edes, advising the passengers that j
the Alaskan Lngineering Comm’ssior
would run an excursion from Anchor
age to Farmington Siding for tU"tr
benefit; tl.«: officials ji this enr had
the engine in readiness end the obser
vation car spotted waiting tire a rival
of the tour.sts. All arrangements
had been made for the comfort and
pleasure of the party and what would 1
have been both a pleasure and an ed- ]
ucutton and one from which Anchor- !
age and vicinity would have received
country-wide advertisement and pub
licity was frustrate! by- the Alaska
Steamship company.
As mentioned before these tourists
wanted to and expected to make this
trip as they naturally wanted to see
what the government was doing and
felt that when they were within 40
miles of the great Matanuska valley
that they should have been allowed
the privilege.
There were representative people,
in this party, from every section of
the United States; Alaska is unknown
to them but they are all interested in
this government project and have
more or less kept in touch with the
developments of the Alaskan Engi
neering Commission. This would
have been a good opportunity not on
ly to have seen with their own eyes
the splendid progress of the railroad
but the wonderful fam.'.ng country ’
and developments of this section of |
Alaska as well.
The officials of the Commission de
serve credit for the thought and their
efforts; it is unfortunate that satis
factory arrangements could not have
been made with the steamship com
pany officials whereby the tourists
making this trip would have the op
portunity to see more of Anchorage
and the surrounding country.
The Alaskan Engineering Commis
sion stands leadv to do their part and
are anxious that the world may know i
just what has been accomplished at I
Anchorage; the business men of this
city will co-operate with every move- |
ment to this end and the tourists are
certainly anxious that some arrange
ments could be made whereby they j
can spend a few hours in inspecting a
government project that is of nation
al importance.
If such an arrangement cannot be |
reached then the people on the out
side, especially at Seattle, should be
advised of the fact and publicity giv
en the matter.
MOOSE SMOKER
The Moose smoker held last even
ing in Robarts’ hall was a decided
success from start to finish and was
enjoyed by 150 members and their
friends. Punch and light lunch was
served and at the tap of the gong the
chairman of the entertainment com
mittee started the sporting events of
the evening. The vocaiisis picked by
the committee to render selections for
the occasion were slow to respond,
thereby necessitating a calling of a
court session, Bro. Sutherland presid
ing as judge. His clients pleaded for
clemency, but this was the judge’s
night off and he showed no mercy.
He refused to be bought off and up
held the law to the letter. After couit
adjourned the happy throng indulged
in story-telling and singing, selections
being given by Bro. Le Mevel and
Scotty Patton.
Musical selections were rendered by
a young man of exceptional talent, as
sisted by a snare drum player who
understands how to put it over. Not
until Father Time pointed to the wee
sma’ hours of the morning did the
merrymakers journey toward home,
all present vouching that when it
comes to sociability the Howdy Paps
are hard to beat.
CONTRIBUTED BY ONE PRESENT
Mr. and Mrs. Glen Carrington ar
rived in Anchorage this morning on
the steamer Mariposa and immediate
ly started on a still hunt for a furn
ished residence with the intention of
spending the balance of the summer
in this city. Mr. Carrington is rep
resenting the Spaulding sporting
goods among other high class lines
and reports a very successful trip to
the coast towns he has recently visit
ed. In speaking of the Anchorage
Seward baseball series Mr. Carring
ton says that in his opinion the games
will be closely contested and are
causing a great deal of excitement in
Seward.
