FORMAL OPENING
OF COAL MINE AT
MOOSE CREEK
SEVENTY-FIVE EXCURSIONISTS
GO OUT TO WITNESS EPOCH
AL EVENT IN LOCAL
HISTORY.
Hon. J. C. Cotton, attorney for the
Alaskan Engineering commission,
with offices in Washington, D. C., who
is visiting Anchorage in the capacity
of special representative of Secretary
of the Interior Lane; Chairman Edes,
Commissioner Mears, District Engi
neer Warren, Superintendent of Con
struction O’Reilly, Dr. E. S. Reedy,
head physician for the Commission,
Bishop P. T. Rowe and Mrs. Rowe,
and 75 residents of Anchorage, mem
bers of the Chamber of Commerce
and citizens generally, went on the
excursion under the auspices of the
Commission yesterday, the occasion
being the formal opening of the first
interior coal mine located at Moose
creek.
The trip was a revelation to local
citizens, who went on the excursion,
as many of them had never before en
tered the fertile Matanuska valley,
and when they saw physical evidence
of the growing agricultural products
and vegetable crops in profusion,
their eyes were opened as to the pos
sibilities of the country.
Arriving at 1.30 o’clock p. m. at
the Moose creek station on the rail
way line, the excursionists enjoyed a
hearty luncheon served by the Com
mission. After luncheon the excur
sionists walked to the Doherty coal
mine, where the informal ceremonies
attending the loading of the first car
load of interior coal from the bunk
ers to the car were held. Miss Mar
tha White, who enjoys the distinction
of being the first white child born in
the Cook inlet country, dumped the
first coal from the mine into the big
coal bin at the railroad, the crowd
cheering heartily in honor of the
event.
P. S. Hunt, official photographer
for the Commission, was on hand with
his motion picture machine and cam
era and took splendid views of the
features on the occasion.
The excursionists returned at 8
o’clock last evening, highly pleased
with the outing and more than ever
convinced that the big railway project
is a development scheme of the first
importance and that already the re
gion traversed by the railway shows
life and industry on every hand. The
opening of the Doherty coal mine
marks a distinct epoch in the history
of Alaska.
TAKEN IN CUSTODY
SAN FRANCISCO, August 15.—
The bark Callao returned to San
Francisco harbor this morning. The
members of the crew that engaged in
a mutiny were taken ashore and jail
ed, pending trials. Officers on one of
the tugboats employed in the search
boarded the bark in the ocean and
placed the men in irons.
A drama of compelling interest is
to be shown at the Empress two
nights, beginning this (Tuesday) eve
ning, August 15.
It is called “The Plunderer,” a
screen version of Roy Norton’s best
known and most successful novel, and
an unusually powerful one, giving
William Famum unlimited scope for
the display of his dramatic ability in
his heroic photoplays .
Harry Spingler, the most popular
juvenile man in America, plays oppo
site to Mr. Famum in the striking
and sympathetic part of Dick Town
send. Mr. Spingler brings to this role
all the skill and finesse that have
made him such a warm favorite with
patrons of high-class motion pictures.
William Riley Hatch, formerly Wil
liam Gillette’s leading man, has a
part which brings uot all this well
known actor’s great talent. He gives
a splendid portrayal of a bully, the
best feared and hated man in Gold
pan.
Supporting Mr. Famum, there are
| seven screen favorites, every one a
' star in their respective roles. 8-15-lt

ANCHORAGE WINS
YESTERDAY’S GAME
SEWART>, Alaska, August 15.—Be
fore the-1: t crowd in the history
of local be - 1 11 Anchorage out-play-j
ed, out-batted, out-fielded, out-classed, |
out-eve ■ jut inged Seward in the hard-I
est game eve. seen here an<l won by 1
the close --core of 5 to 3. Every play |
was hotly contested and many close I
decisions were called by Umpire H.j
E. Ellsworth, of Seward, whom the i
Anchorage fans claimed favored Sew- !
ard at every opportunity. Local dope
sters figure that 10 to 2 in favor of
Anchorage would express matters i
more nearly as they should be.
The game opened with Man they and
Lee performing for Seward and Linn
and Amundsen handling the pellet for
Anchorage. Linn loosened up and
pitched the greatest game of his ca
reer. Amundsen was right on the1
job and handled everything that came!
his way with the perfection of a man 1
who has woi'ked all his life catching !
igannon balls in a munitions factory.
. Mills at center, credited with seven
put-outs, covered himself with glory,
and endeared himself forever'with the j’■
i little crowd of Anchorage roots. .-,
who gathered in a bunch in the g mid
stand, ; -lied, stamped, spoke pieces
—with gestures, and pleaded with they
boys to come through and deliver.
Nieholls the Star.
|;
The brightest young star in the gal
'axy of firmaments however, was | i
Nichols at second base who played fie
j game to a l'are-you-well. The second
inning jinx blessed him with a broken
I finger but he kept on playing and fin
ished thelgame with the band playing '
and his colors flying. His playing was ’
nothing short of remarkable and his!
quick work saved the game for An-;
ehorage many a time. He opened up
the lucky seventh with the longest
drive of the whole game, which in
spired Amundsen and Powrey with '
such zeal that they knocked Manthey
out of the box.
Lucas, who had been warming up
in preparation for just this catastro- '
I phe, went in to relieve the situation,
but couldn’t caulk up the Seward boat 1
before she sank. 1
The attitude of Seward seemed to
have changed since the first game, 1
and the feeling was very bitter. The
Seward rooting was very partial, and 1
against such odds as this and the fact
that Lee, the catcher along with Wil
liams, the pitcher in the first game
of the series, were imported from the
Northwestern league outside, it is a
wonder that Anchorage had as much
of a look-in as lac would buy at a
peep-show.
The whole town of Seward is base
ball crazy from bank president to col
ored pedal-polishers, who stop off long
enough between shines to lay a few
nickels on their home team. Not even
the world war, peace propaganda, nor
the election of James Wickersham to
