Sourdoughs of the
Nome stampede dur
ing 1899 and 1900 are
given jun opportunity
I® of earning some easy
fjt money by Monte M.
yf Katterjohn, a Califor
nia motion picture pro
'Monte m. ducer. According to
Katterjohn; announcements in San
Francisco, Seattle and Portland, $500
in cash awards is to be given for let
ters detailing the most memorable in
cidents of the great Nome rush, no
reservation being made regarding the
incidents, which may concern any
happening that appeals to the sour
dough as memorable.
Mr. Katterjonn, who created the
' i photoplays, “Carmen of the Klon
dike” and “The Flame of the Yukon,”
is soon to undertake the production
of his most pretentious Alaska photo
story, and desires to employ actual in
cidents of the gold-mad days of Nome
when picturing his newest film play.
“Any man who was in Nome during
1899 and 1900 may supply the desired
incident,” says Mr. Katterjohn. “I am
seeking the sourdough’s individual
opinion of what was memorable. The
incident may be deep with pathos, or
rib-tickling in its funniness; tense
with virile action or joyous in its ro
mance. One person may think a cer
tain incident was memorable while
an utterly different matter appeals to
someone else. Actual names and dates
are desired, though these will not be
divulged. Style and manner of writ
ing will not influence the decision of
awards. Every letter received will be
seriously considered, whether written
in ink or with pencil, despite length
or brevity, and on any kind of paper.
High-sounding words will have no
value. The incident is the thing, and
almost any sourdough is likely to fur
nish just what is wanted.”
The total award of $500 will be dis
tributed as follows: For the incident
deemed most suitable, $200; second,
$100; third, $50; and payments of $10
each for the next fifteen accounts of
■memorable events. Where the let
ter is accompanied by pictures and
photographs, $5 will be paid for the
use of them. These pictures and pho
tographs will be returned unharmed.
The only stipulation is that all letters
should be mailed from Alaska before
August 20, 1919, and addressed to
Monte M. Katterjohn, Waldorf build
ing, Venice, Cal.
It is claimed that more than one
hundred thousand dollars will be lav
ished on this greatest of all Alaskan
film dramas, and no effort or expense
will be spared to make it the most au
thentic picture of its kind yet pro
duced. As yet untitled, it will be re
leased as a Katterjohn special of not
less than seven reels length—a full
evening’s entertailment.
LECTURES ON
ALASKA LIFE
IN PORTLAND
A story of Northern romance,
Alaska husky dogs, scenes of Alaskan
hunts, fishing, mining, agricultural and
other industries, with the portrayal of
the lives of Eskimos, was pictured in
6,000 feet of film at the Heilig the
ater in Portland recently, when the
Alaskan Society presented Judge M.
F. Moran for a lecture on “Pioneer
Life in Alaska.” Judge Moran has
been a prominent figure in the history
of Alaska, having been a member of
the legislature and a United States
commissioner for nine years. He
dwelt on the future possibilities of
trade relations with Alaska and the
United States.
“The objects of the Alaska Society
are entirely altruistic,!’ said E. H.
Collis, secretary. “It has in mind the
advertising of Portland in Alaska by
means of posters, booklets and other
methods, and it was through his knowl
edge of Alaska that Judge Moran was
asked to give the public the result of
his interesting experience.”
Judge Moran expects soon to return
to Alaska. He says his aim will be
to spread the gospel of Portland, to
assure the Alaskans of the friendly
interest of Portlanders, to establish
closer relationships and to invite them
to visit Oregon. The films were se
cured through the courtesy of B. B. j
Dobbs, formerly of Nome.

Bound over on the serious charge j :j
of robbing the United States postoffice
at Petersburg, and other burglaries,
four Petersburg boys are in the United
States jail at Juneau. Deputy United :j
States Marshal Howell arrived there j:
with the boys during the past week, j:
Their names are Cecil Allen, Martin :j
Samuelson, Elmer Wilson and Harold •:
Fanning. j:
Allen, Samuelson and Wilson are
charged with having robbed the •:
Petersburg postoffice of $800, as well j:
as stores of Petersburg, including the j:
Wilson drug store and the Sons of :■
Norway store. The Fanning boy is j:
charged with receiving and concealing :
the stolen goods. •:
The officers at Petersburg have :i
been attempting to trace these rob- ••
beries for more than a month, and :■
suspicion was directed toward the boys •:
by their liberal patronage of candy :j
and soft drink places at Petersburg. j:
In fact, two of the boys were appre- <
hended just about the time they were j;
intending to take a boat to Juneau, j:
where, it is claimed, they had planned •'
a startling career of crime.
