Proposals Asked
for Carrying Mail
—
The post office department is pay
| ing more attention to this little city
1 of Anchorage and the many com
plaints of poor service that have been
scattered broadcast have commenced
to bear fruit.
Tne very latest matter of import
ance that will be of interest to An
Ii chorage people is the call for bids for
the emergency star route service be
tween Anchorage and Seward, which
reads as follows:
CORDOVA, Alaska, July 29, 1916.
Proposals are asked for the perform
ance of Emergency Star Route service
from Seward to Anchorage, Alaska,
one round trip per week, for the pe
riod from the close of navigation at
Anchorage in 1916, to the opening of
navigation at Anchorage in 1917.
® Bidders are requested to submit
two bids—one for the handling of
twelve hundred (1,200) pounds of
mail per single trip (in each direc
tion) and one for the handling of six
teen hundred (1,600) pounds per sin
gle trip in each direction.
These proposals will be received at
the office of the chief clerk, Railway
Mail service, at Cordova, Alaska, un
til August 25, 1916.
ALVAH EAMES, Chief Clerk.
In regard to the 1,600-pound mail
service between Anchorage and Sew
ard, that has been decided upon for
winter service, the Anchorage Cham
ber of Commerce has wired Postoffice
Inspector Neil and Chief Clerk Lames
to try and change the original ruling
of one 1,600-pound mail delivery a
week to two deliveries of 800 pounds
each per week,
It is thought that the authorities
will acquiesce to the request and that
the winter mail service will be great
ly improved by this twice-a-week mail
service between Anchorage and Sew
ard.

“WOMAN’S RESURRECTION”
DREW BIG HOUSE
Betty Nansen, a great actress at
the full height of her overwhelming
genius, supported by a magnificent
company of noted actors and actres- i
ses in the superb picturization of 1
Count Leo Tolstoi’s “A Woman’s j
Resurrection,” was the offering at
the Empress theatre last night, and
the packed house gave convincing
proof of the popularity of this sen
sation of the silent stage.
Three great dramatic stars, each
noted for abounding genius, appear
together in this wonderful photo
play, lending to this screen drama
extraordinary strength and forming
a combination of dramatic talent that
could not be seen in any two dollar
theatre in the country.
It would be superflous to point
out in detail the aims that Tolstoi
had in view when he wrote “A Wo
man’s Resurrection,” in which Miss
Nansen is so magnificent and to
which William Fox has given such a
lavish setting. The great writer of
the Russian land has in this work,
above all others, labored for the ben
efit of his fellow man showing them
in the erring Katusha Maslova, with
her bestial abandon and final recla
mation for better things, a glorious
lesson of the eternal truths of hu
manity. “A Woman’s Resurrection”
will be repeated at the Empress this
evening.
