BIC A RACIION AT .
TH EMPRESS TONIGHT
Empress—Billie Burke in "Arms
ar.d the Girl.”
"Arms and the Girl,” the Para
mount photoplay which is appearing
tonight at Empress theater, follows
closely the stage version which met
with such success a few years ago.
Billie Burke is the star. Briefly, the
plot is as follows: An American girl,
stranded in Belgium at the opening of
the present war, innocently exchanges
her passport with a Russian girl—a
spy. Another American—-a young
man, also helps the Russian girl by
the loan of his automobile. When
the Germans seize the town the two
Americans who have not been able to
escape are held for complicity, especi
ally the man, who is ordered to be
shot. “The Girl” saves him by declar
ing him to be the fiance she has been
writing for, and as if to prove her
statement, the German general orders
the two to be married at once.
This is done and the two young
people find themselves in a most em
barrassing position. The husband
escapes, however, while in the mean
time Sic real fiance appears. The
latter proves himself to be rather a
cad, so the newly married couple who
are becoming very fond of each other
resolve to do nothing about annulling
the ceremony as they had planned.
Altogether “Arms and the Girl” is one
of the most charmingly humorous and
vivid photoplays of the season.

STORK VISITS RAILROAD
CONSTRUCTION CAMP
ANCHORAGE, March 31—By mak
ing a visit to Kern a small construc
tion camp on the government railroad
seventy-three miles south of Anchor
age and the boundary station between
the Anchorage and Seward divisions,
the stork caused considerable ex
citement to George W. Colwell, assist
ant superintendent in charge of con
struction at Kern, and to other high
officials of the federal transportation
system.
In anticipation of the bird’s visit,
Mr. Colwell, in the middle of the night,
telephoned to William Gerig, engineer
in charge of the Anchorage division,
asking him to hasten a special train
with a doctor and nurse to Kern. No
time was lost in preparing to comply
with the request. But just as a loco
motive and a caboose, with the physi
cian and a nui\e aboard, were pulling
out of Anchorage station, another
message was received from Mr. Col
well saying that the stork had ended
its first visit to Kern and it hftd left
behind, without the least untoward
incident, an eight-pound boy. The
special train service was cancelled.
Mrs. Colwell and her infant son are
getting along exceptionally well. The
assistant superintendent of -construc
tion is treating railroad workers at
Kern and wayfarers passing there -to
cigars from a shipment he had sent to
him from Anchorage.

HIGH PRICES QUOTED
ON FOOD AT UNGA
Food is very scarce in Unga, and
Klondike prices are being charged by
the Alaska Codfish Company, which
has the only available means of trans
portation here since the steamer Dora
left the run. Pfice* are as high or
higher than in the old boom days of
the territory. Coal is $37 a ton;
Carnation milk is 25 cents a can
straight; sugar is 15 cents per pound,
and flour is $17 a barrel, and purch
asers must still take the substitutes.
For a long time now the company
has limited coal to one sack at a pur
chase and a gallon of kerosene at a
time. „
It is earnestly hoped that another
boat will take the Dora’s place this
summer, as conditions here are be
coming unbearable.—Valdez Miner.
