of the Presbyterian church was omit
ted from the Saturday issue of the
Pioneer.
J. W. Wright, formerly fore.-r.aL
of the ofllco of the Seward Oi'.evay.
arrived on the Mariposa to ucCupt
the-position of superintendent of tie
median <i (< ;.a'’i cut of the Pi‘

In order to avoid misunderstand
ng of any nature, the Pioneer
v'shes to announce that all changes
or advertisements in its columns
oust be handed into the ofllce the
iflernoon or night before going to
iresc the following day.
The Pioneer wishes to call atton

ichool house. The ways and means
committee appointed to look into the
matter of a public hall will make a
report, also the committee in charge
of obtaining a Carnegie library for
Anchorage.
it’s a long time until Christmas,
but the genial, fun-loving Joe Spe
nard certainly played the part of
Mini a Claus to about one hundred
school children yesterday. Joe
dressed in his famous suit of yellow,
with top hat to match, took the
youngsters, in relays, for an automo
bile ride through the streets of An
chorage, and Judging from t,be smile
that Joe also wore, the singing and
laughter of the children, the plea
sure of the trip was mutual.
Whether it was the lure of the
gold or Just the ordinary spirit of
wanderlust, in any event, George E.
Potter and W. J. Stewart left on the
steamer Mariposa for the new placer
strike in the Innoko district. Mr.
Potter will represent the Pioneer

benefit of the children’s playground
was an avowed success socially and
financially; the moral and physical
suocess, which Is the paramount ob
ject of the Parent Teachers’ Asso
ciation, will be evidenced when the
playground Is ready for the children.
The affair Saturday night waB large
ly attended, the program exception
ally well rendered, the music out of
the ordinary, and the whole affair
delightfully managed.
The proceeds were $133. and the
expenses were. Incidentals $11.
music $30, and hall $20, a total of
$61, leaving a net profit of $72,
which amount will be added to the

work will probably commence this
week on the grounds. The social
committee In charge of the affair,
through the Pioneer, wants to thank
those who so kindly assisted in the
affair and the Anchorage people for
their loyal and financial support.
It is really a pleasure to refer to
some one as coming from some other
vicinity than “fresh from the
creeks;” it is an added pleasure to
be able to refer to a young lady in
this connection. Like Mahomet and
and the mountain, It was impossible
for Anchorage to make the trip to
New York at this time, so Miss Inez
Adams, fresh from that city, came to
Anchorage via the steamship Mari
posa and iB stopping at the Crescent.
In addition to other striking qualifi
cations, Miss Adams posses a perfect
“36” and is the one sent before, the
forerunner, of Mrs. Maude D. Cattle,
also of New York, who will arrive
on the steamer Farragut. Mrs. Cat
tle. in her chosen vocation of ladies’
ready-to-wear, has made a distinct
success, and has been in this busi
ness for some fifteen years, and with
Miss Adams as assistant and model
will have on display in the Nyberg
building, corner of Fourth avenue
and C, an unusually attractive dis
play of suits, costs, street and even
ing gowns. There will be hosiery,
waists, underwear, in addition to
several unnamable and unmentioon
able articles; a miniature reproduc
tion of Wanamaker's and Marshall
Field’s, a display that will be a plea
sure and a solace to the ladles, an
opportunity for the husband and
lather and a revelation to the sour
lough’ ,
Through the extreme courtesy of
Miss Clark, principal, and her assist
ants, the Pioneer Will publish every
Monday a column devoted to the

the Intention to publish this column
in today's Issue, but owing to the
extra cable news, the line being
down Saturday, there will not be
space. However, this will appear in
tomorrow’s Issue and in every Mon
day’s issue from now until the close
of school.

ASSURED FOR ANCHORAGE
The city administration ie doing
all within its power in regard to the

arrival and take immediate steps for
he completion of this much-needed
plant. It is the intention to estab

This department has labored un
der distinct disadvantages from the
fact the commodities pertaining in
any way to copper are very hard to
obtain, and in fact it has been al
most impo««tble to get delivery on
account or me uuuuns iiivuivbu m
the European war making such a
demand for copper. However, even
with the shortage in copper and the
scarcity of electrical material, the
administration expectts to have
everything in shape for the opera
tion of the electric light by the first
of September.

CONSIDERABLE ACTIVITY
ALONG THE RAILWAY LINE
A. C. McMasters returnedfrom his
mail and express route Saturday and
reports considerable activity along
the line. He went as far as Kska
croek, CO miles from Anchorage, on
this trip, and says the government
Is doing lots of work on the wagon
roads; that the road from the Land
ing to Moose creek is in fine shape
for travel, and that the road from
Moose to Eska creek will be ready
for heavy travel in about two weeks.
As Mr. McMasters makes this trip
from the Landing up to Eska creek
on horseback he is in a position to
know, and this building of wagon
road sis exceptionally beneficial to
the farmers of the great Moose creek
district. The records show that this
part of the country is being rapidly
taken up by the homesteader, and
Mr. McMaster says the oldttimer and
the new homesteader are all busy
putting in their gpring crops; that
there are quite a number of people
at Moose creek now and more com
ing In daily, with the view of locat
ing and getting in on the ground
floor.
