About Town
Mr. and Mrs. Fred Kincaid, of Knik
were the guests of Wm. Martin for
luncheonat the Frisco today in honor
of their first wedding anniversary.
Mr. and Mrs. Harry Shough are
down from their Willow creek mine
for a few days and are guests at the
White House.
Chas. E. Herron, publisher of The
Anchorage Daily Times, returned last
night from a trip of several days to
his quartz property in the Willow
creek district.
The malamute dog is daily taking
on an additional value and the closer
the time comes to snow and sleds so
will the value of these winter indis
pensables increase.
Post Hole Pete McCartin was in
town yesterday and left this morning
with a force of 12 real potato diggers
who will spend the next 30 days in
harvesting the big Matanuska valley
potato crop.
Miss Inex Adams and Miss Lulu
Wilkins returned to Anchorage yes
terday evening from Knik on the
launch Swan. Misses Adams and Wil
kins have joined the majority and re
cently staked some quartz claims in
the neighborhood of the Mable mine
in the Willow creek district.
A derelict of the Paderewski strain
happened in Anchorage yesterday and
is making himself popular with the
many patrons of the Montana Pool
hall. This young man of unknown
connections and unquestionable abili- j
ty is certainly there on this piano stuff
and has a Repertoire ranging from the
sublime to ragtime.
The lecture by Jack F. Dunstan at1
the Labor Temple Sunday evening will
be on the subject of “True Social Ser-1
vice.” The meetings will commence!
at 7 o’clock, and the first few minutes
will be given to a discussion of some
questions that were left over from last
Sunday’s open forum. Those interest
ed in this discussion are urged to be
on time. A fine musical program has
been arranged by C. G. Bacon.
In order to meet the demands of
his growing patronage and keep in
line with other business improvements
Jack Robarts has let the contract for
a 25-foot addition to his building and
further making the place popular by
the addition of another bowling alley'
and automatic pin setters.
With the installation of a new Eng
lish billiard table and two regulation
billiard tables this will make tho'TJo
barts lb'I'aid and Bowling Parlors I
one of the most modern north of Se
attle and one of the largest in Alaska.
In many places in the states it often
happens that two and often more rail
road lines parallel each other. The
contending lines frequently race their
trains for many miles into some im
portant town, much to the satisfaction
of the natives.
This is all very well on the out
side where the people have the oppor
tunity to see a train or so every day |
but why the rival steamship compa
nies should revert to this practice ;.rd
race to Anchorage is not known.
It is hardly fair for them to reach
here on the same day and the people
really do not care who makes the fast
est time but they do want more of a
variety and it will be all right with
the people of Anchorage if they dock
here on different days.
The steamer Mariposa and Admiral
Watson are due to reach Anchorage
sometime this evening.
MRS TURNER HONORED
PREVIOUS TO DEPARTURE
Mrs. I. Koslosky opened her modern
apartments in the Fowler block yes
terday afternoon with a charming
luncheon in honor of Mrs. J. Turner,
who has engaged passage on the
steamer Alameda for the outside
where she will spend the winter in
southern California.
The rooms were beautifully decor
ated with briliant autumn leaves and
a profusion of flowers. The afternoon
was delightfully spent in playing
bridge with Mrs. G. Carroll winning
first prize and Mrs. B. F. Watson the
consolation.
Mrs. J. Turner will be greatly mis
sed in the Anchorage social circles
this winter and her charming person
ality has won her many friends with
the people of this city. Mrs. Turner
will continue her vocal musical educa
tion under a noted instructor this
winter and will return to Anchorage
next spring.
Mrs. Koslosky was assisted in serv
ing a dainty luncheon by Mrs. N. Pil
ger and Mrs. Ramsey. The guests
invited to enjoy the afternoon were:
Mesdames Carlson, Carrol Cort,
Jafl’e, Brown, Lamson, Golden,
Krumm, Pilger, Polley, Peterson,
Fleishmann, Watson, Freyd, Reed, Si
mons, Rigby, Rock, Ramsey, Freid
man, Weaver, Levin, Turper, and the
Misaee-'Meison and Francisco.

Banquet in Honor
of Mr. McPherson
Showing their appreciation of the
great work accomplished in behalf of
i Anchorage, the Anchorage Chamber
j of Commerce tendered a banquet to J.
L. McPherson, secretary of the Alaska
| bureau of the Seattle Chamber of
; Commerce last night in the banquet
1 room of the Frisco cafe.
The banquet in itself was perfectly
appointed and together with the elab
orate table decorations and the flow of
wit and wisdom, the affair was a suc
cess.
Leopold David, the mainstay of
these functions, acted as toast master
and the responses to his calls were, in
the main, appropo. Many questions
of moment for the good of Anchor
age were discussed and plans laid for
the culmination of civic and commer
cial issues.
While the important subject of
“Good Roads” did not bring forth tha
discussion it was entitled to, other
matters, such as the situation of the
Anchorage public schools and the
proriiised harbor improvements were
entered into in detail.
Many minor matters were discussed
and many suggestions made relative
to the betterment of Anchorage and
pro bono publico. Commissioner
Mears gave a resume of the work ac
complished by the Alaskan Engineer
ing Commission and a brief outline of
future plans, further displaying his
faith in Anchorage.
Mr. McPherson’s expressions of his
views of Anchorage and vicinity were
gratifying and he offered at all times
to co-operate with the Anchorage
Chamber of Commerce in all things
legitimate for the advancement of the
community. His remarks in regard to
concentration of action and the value
of harmony were well received and
did much to further cement the busi
ness men of this city for a campaign
of united action in all things pertain
ing to public improvement.
In addition to Mr. McPherson, the
guest of honor, Ed. L. Smith,
Frank I. Reid, Milo Kelly and T. D.
Corlew, the following members of the
Anchorage Chamber of Commerce
were present: Lieut. F. Mears, Dr.
E. S. Reedy, Leopold David, George
M. Campbell, A. A. Shonbeck, E. J.
W'arner, S. K. Kildall, F. B. Wood, A.
S. Koch, J. Bjornson, F. Evans, O. An
derson, L. De Hon, B. F. Watson,
Newt Pilger, Carl Bolte, Jack Rq
barts, Z. J. Loussac, Stewart Maxwell,
and A. J. Wendler.
Moving Pictures
of Big Parade
Next to the Anchorage Daily Time''
the moving pictures of the parade.'
different scenes and sport events tak-!
en Labor Day will do more to adver- j
tise Anchorage than anything that j
could have happened. True, the 2,000
tourists who visited this city this sum
mer will all be boosters and tell of the
wonders and glories of Anchorage
and vicinity to their friends in the
states but they can not posibly reach
the thousands of people who will learn
of Anchorage by the means of the
moving pictures.
While the Anchorage Daily Times,
the best advertising medium in Alas
ka, is mailed to hundreds of people in
every state of the union it cannot cov
er the field as effectively as the mov
ing pictures.
J. H. Kaiser, who took the
pictures Labor Day informs The
Times that the results of his efforts
are very satisfactory and that when
the films unroll they will reproduce
the entire proceedings, from the vast
parade to the automobile race.
The pictures of Labor Day in An
chorage will take their place with the
Pathe News and other educational pic
tures and will be shown in thousands
of cities and towns throughout the
country and be viewed by hundreds of
thousands of people, many of whom
will, in this manner, get their first
ideas of Alaska; these impressions are
effective and without question will
bring good results.
MRS. CORA VOUGHT
WILKENSON PASSES ON

pital at 1 o’clock this morning. Mrs.
