Cordova has a right to be proud of
the art exhibit at Hegg’s, where E. P.
Ziegler has twelve pictures on dis
play. These pictures are thoroughly
Alaskan in their coloring and selec
tion. It is hard to find any country
that can equal this Northland for its
riotoous array of colors, and Mr. Zieg
ler has caught and used the individual
tones as only an artist with a true
sence of beauty can. Mr. Lauretz, an
artist of note, who has spent many
summers in Alaska, making a spe
cialty of the vivid coloring matter to
be found here, is enthusiastic over Mr.
Ziegler’s work, and compliments it
highly.

The third of the very enjoyable
dances given this season by the P. A.
F. cannery management for the pas
sengers and crew of the Alameda was
held last Monday evening at Port
Ashton. As a rule the Alameda car
ries one talented pianist at least, but
this time she failed to produce, and
the start of the dance did not look
promising until Captain Johanson
solved the problem by having the
ship’s phonograph taken ashore to
the cannery dance hall. Loud cheers
greeted the captain as he forced his
way through the crowds, followed by
four men bearing the machine. Capt.
Johanson put on the first record, and
thereby turned the tide of affairs, for
the dance was a complete success.

A more truly delightful social affair
has never been witnessed than the
gathering of the people of Chitina and
vicinity at the A. B. hall for the pur
pose of complimenting and welcoming
the new bride and groom, Mr. and.
Mrs. G. E. Ketchum, Miss Johnstone,
the school teacher, and Mr. and Mrs.
Swartz, who have just returned from
duty overseas, and are interested in
the welfare of the natives of Alaska.
The hall was appropriately decorated
and excellent music was furnished by
local talent. The Jazz band, a spe
cial feature of the evening, was com
posed of Harry Hoyt, band leader,
playing the banjo; Mr. Tibbs, drum;
Louis Day, trombone, and Mr. Bates
the cornet. Encore after encore, was
played by this clever band, until finally
the drummer became so tired that he
had to resort to a tambourine. The
dancers were very much disappointed
when the players decided that they
were too exhausted to continue with
the music. Mrs. V. J. Dwyer, Miss
Johnstone and Mrs. Swartz played
several selections on the piano for the
dancers, which-were very much appre
ciated. Mrs. Hayes sang two solos,
and a buck and wing dance by Harry
Hoyt added much to the entertain
ment of the evening. A very dainty
supper was served by the ladies, after
which dancing was resumed. The out
of-town guests included Mrs. A. Mc
Leod, Mrs. V. J. Dwyer and Mrs. J.
Walsh of Strelna, Mr. and Mrs. J.
Nefstead of Tonsina, Mr. and Mrs.
Steward of Kenny Lake, and Roy De
Leo of Cordova.
