fitting for the balance of the season
and left some promising looking
specimens at this office. Mr. Hays
is stopping at the Alaska Hotel and
brings in the report of a small placer
strike on Oshetna creek, made by
John Sells, but said the reports he
had received would not justify a
stampede.
Scotty Watson, who has been run
ning a lodging house at the Landing,
came in Iasi night for a few day's
visit with Anchorage friends and
says that the people are moving
away from the Landing and locat
ing at Matanuska Junction and
Faramington Siding. He expects to
establish a road house at the Junc

port of a Fourth of July picnic held
by the farmers of that vicinity on an
island in Five Finger lake. There
wore 150 farmers of the district
present, including 21 school chil
dren and 'the event was a decided
success. Mr. Conway says they are
endeavoring to get a school estab
lished in his neighborhood and the
number of eligible school children
justifies the movement.

night coming from the Gold Bullior
mine in the Willow creek • district
where he has been employed. It will

cently received painful inj'uries as s

press theatre this morning, while eat-1
ing breakfast at the Two Girls Cafe,
said that the people of Anchorage, in
fact the whole of Alaska, should feel j
proud of this play house and in speak-!
ing of prevailing prices and the show I
of last night in which Marie Dressier,
Mabel Normand and Charlie Chaplin
kept the audience convulsed with
laughter in the production of “Tillie’s :
Punctured Romance” probably you j
people do not realize it, but these pri-1
i ces are very reasonable and I had to *
