LOCAL TALENT
WILL BE USED
IN PHOTOPLAY
Two-fisted fighting men attention.
Here’s a tip for some of you big fel
lows that are just honin’ for a scrap.
Hershel Mayall, known all over the
world as the greatest fighter on the
screen, is coming to town. He’s the
star in the big Alaskan photoplays
the Beaux-Art Features Co. is produc
ing, and the director has framed up
some fighting scenes for him that are
said to put all of Mayall’s previous
tussels in the shade.
Now this is just a word to the wise.
The picture director refuses to com
mit himself, but when we told him
there were some real husky boys in
town he sort of smiled. You know
that “show me” glint in the eye. So
we’re of the opinion that the right
man stands a good chance of per
suading Mr. Director to give him a try
at Mayall. Go to it, boys.
It ought to be some scrap. All
the prettiest girls in town will be
there looking on. (Oh, yes, girls—
there’s a big dance hall “set” in one
of the pictures, and we are authorized
to state that the youth and beauty
of Cordova will be given a chance
to appear in the films. The Beaux
Art people have already staged scenes
in Anchorage that are said to out
class a Ziegfeld pony ballet for pul
shritude—and never let it be said that
the Anchorage girls have anything on
our Cordova belles).
Local talent to the front.
“The steamship Victoria is certainly
a treasure ship this trip,” said W. F.
Code, manager of the Alaska Dream
theater at Nome, who spent the day
here in consultation with Captain A.
E. Lathrop in reference to the mov
ing picture business in the territory.
“We are taking out furs valued at
over a million dollars on this trip of
the Victoria,” continued Mr. Code.

“The trapping and trade game in Si
beria has been most profitable, and the
pelts secured there have meant a rich
harvest for those fortunate enough to
get them. Captain Swanson is on
board the Vic with 693 sable and tons
of white fox. On his shipment he
carries insurance of $400,000.
“We look for a larger winter popu-1
lation this year than last. There is
considerable activity at Nome now, on
account of the dredging of the har
bor, which work is only being handi
capped by a scarcity of labor.
“The Alaska Bank and Safe Deposit
Company has been absorbed by the
Miners and Merchants’ Bank, and Joe
Sheldon, cashier of the former insti
tution, came out on the Vic. but he
stopped over in Seward.”
LONGMIRE SPRINGS
ARE ACQUIRED BY
PARK ASSOCIATION j
SEATTLE, Aug. 6 (by Associated
Press).—Complete unification of facil
ities for the convenience of the pub
lic has finally been effected at Rainier
National Park, in accordance with
the expressed wish of the National
Park Service on the matter as a gen-1
eral policy for national parks.
The Rainier National Park Com- j 1
! i
pany, which holds the government
concession in the park for transport-j
ation and hotels, this month acquired
control of Longmire Springs, a tract
of 19 acres and the oldest settled
portion of the park. It was acquired 1
originally by James Longmire, a pi- j I
oneer of Washington, as his home- |
stead in 1883.. The tract is rich in j I
wonderful sulphur, iron, soda and j g
other kinds of mineral springs, and j |
the old-fashioned hotel erected on it j g
by the old pioneer marked the be- j
gining of tourist travel into the park. , |
Mr. Longmire, dead for some years,;
was one of the first venturesome;
group to travel across Naches pass
in 1853. At the time of the death of j
his Avife a few years ago, she had 168
decendents.
The park company’s lease on the fa
mous site extends to 1936.
Walter J. Manahan who for sever
al years Avas in charge of the Marconi
station at Juneau has been released
from the service and wil return to
Juneau in ,the near future and take
the position of cashier in the office of
the Pacific Steamship Co.
