P AD FOR RESULTS.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 28.—Each of
the four new battlecruisers, bids for
■ which will be opened at the navy de
partment December 6, will be 850 feet
I in length, or 100 feet longer than the
world’s tallest building—the Wool
worth—is high, it was learned today.
The cruisers will displace 35,000
tons each, and will be capable of a
speed of from 32 to 35 knots an hour.
Each will cost not more than $16,
d 500,000, under the terms of the new
naval appropriation. Armor and ar
mament will add another $4,000,000
* apiece.
They will be equipped with 5- and
* 14-inch guns.
> Every effort is being made to has
ten the construction of these vessels.
Bids already are in for a portion of
the armament.
The new battleships, bids for four
of which will be opened tomorrow,
will each displace 32,000 tons, and will
be 624 feet long. They will mount 16
in'ch guns.
The new cruisers, therefor, will be
more than 200 feet longer than the
newest battleships of the American
navy. Their extreme length, it is
said, is necessary to provide room for
the very powerful machinery, neces
sary to propel the vessel at a high
speed.
According to the best information
of American naval designers, the
new American cruisers will be the
most powerful afloat.

THERE IS NO INFLUENCE IN ANY COMMUNITY
MORE POTENT AND POWERFUL FOR THE AC
COMPLISHMENT OF GOOD THAN THAT OF THE
BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONAL MEN UNSELF
ISHLY BANDED TOGETHER FOR THE PURPOSE
OF PROMOTING THE GENERAL WELFARE OF
THE ENTIRE CITIZENSHIP.
The above maxim of James Brice is deserving of your
careful consideration.
There are a number of the most progressive business and
professional men in Anchorage who believe in it, and have
proven the strength of their conviction by joining the Chamber
of Commerce.
HOW ABOUT YOU?
The Chamber of Commerce is a civic organization. It
fosters the school interests; it stimulates civic improvements;
it works for a cleaner city, both morally and physically; it
furnishes information; it promotes and protects the best in
terests of Anchorage.
Mr. Property Owner, Mr. Business Man or Mr. Profession
al Man, whom the Chamber of Commerce directly benefits, can
you afford to permit a few men to carry on this organization
without your help?
Think it over. Get in touch with the affairs of the com
munity by becoming a member of the Chamber of Commerce
and help for a better Anchorage.
DO IT NOW.
The Chamber of Commerce furthers the unified interests
of all the citizens, and is the only effective medium of expres
sion in municipal affairs.
To those citizens who have their money invested here, to
the optimists, to the well-wishers and believers of Anchorage,
we respectfully solicit your application for membership.

NATIVE BREAKS
ONE Of THE 10
COMMANDMENTS
When Moses received the tablet
with the ten commandments inscribed
thereon, there was one particular com
mandment relative to a man’s ox, his
ass, his maid servant and his wife.
The admonition was not to covet or
to Wish for something or some per
son not your own.
This commandment has been hand
ed down for several years now, and
its principles fairly well followed,
especially with reference to the ox
and the ass. There seems to be some
thing particularly attractive about
another man’s wife, nor is this pe
culiarity confined to any one race or
breed.
It is only within recent years that
the aborigines, the first settlers of
America, which includes Alaska, have
been taught to take unto themselves a
wife and cement the union by the
binding ritual of the white man. Pre
viously their custom of acquiring a
tepee- mate or mates was different.
The new way is much the best and
follows civilization.
The Alaskan Indian has done very
well, indeed, on such short notice,
and in the main are faithful in adher
ing to the decree. Every tribe has its
flirt who uses the wiles of the co
quette born to arouse envy among the
maidens and covetousness in the
heart of the buck. At tribal feasts
and potlatches she is at her best in
beaded moccasins, furs, cheap orna
ments and paint.
At a recent potlatch in the nighbor
hood of Knik, Jim Ephim (translated
Jim John) was enamoured by the
wiles and coquetry of Mary Starlight,
the wife of another. Perhaps the
hootch had something to do with it
and perhaps Mary carried the con
quest too far, or it may be that Jim
John just got the covet bug and de
cided to break the commandment. In
any event Jim decided he wanted
Mary and was determined to have her
either by coersion or by assault. Mary
wouldn’t stand for the coercion but
had to stand for the assault, which
caused such an outcry that Deputy
Marshal Harry Brown was summoned
to rescue the maiden. Marshal Brown
was successful and as evidence
brought the cave man from Knik to
Anchorage, where he was tried before
Judge David and sentenced to CO days
of absolute rest in the federal jail.
This rest cure will break ambitious
Jim’s heart, but it may be the means
of more firmly impressing upon his
mind that it is wicked and against
the laws to covet, so strenuously, an
other man’s w'ife.
SOME BABY? SHOW.
Just exactly what it is, is a secret,
but enough is known from the name,
“The Unique Baby Show,” that it
must be all right and a sure fire at
traction. Quite a number of promi
nent men about town have been asked
to take part in it and they have
agreed, not knowing just exactly
what they are up against, (Don’t get
uneasy now; remember that you
promised.) For the benefit of those
who are not in on this and want to
satisfy their curiosity, don’t stop to
steal a gate on Hallowe’en night. Just
go straight to Robart’s Hall. 10-30-lt
