NEW EMPRESS THEATER
GIVEN GOOD BOOST IN
JUNEAU BY CORDOVAN
In speaking of Captain A. E. La
throp’s new theater and apartment
building to a reporter of the Juneau
Empire our townsman, Representa
tive Henry A. Slater, said:
“Without a doubt the new concrete
building will be the first of its kind in
Alaska. Juneau can boast of a sky
scraper, a magnificent department
store building of concrete and real
elevators, but Cordova will take first
place for a theater building. I grant
that the furnishings of the inside of
the moving picture hou.es in Juneau
also are as fine as can be found any
where, but that it not having an entire
building of concrete, you know. The
fine homes and business buildings
v/hich are becoming a part of every
town in Alaska remind us old-timers
that our dreams of a commercial em
pire for Alaska are becoming true
much more rapidly than most of us
imagine. It was only a few years ago
that pessimists were saying that Alas
ka was only good for a place in which
to make money and get out, that it
would never support a permanent
population.”
REPRESENTATIVE SLATER
INTRODUCES BILL FOR
NEW NIZINA BRIDGE
representative H. A. Slater has in
troduced a bill in the territorial legis
lature for an act providing for the
appropriation of $25,000 for the com
