Gust F. Johnson, candidate for ter

division, is an Alaskan of over twenty
years’ standing. He was one of the
I earliest miners in the Kuskulana re
i gion, and has spent at least half of the
time of his residence in Alaska in road
work for the Alaska road commission
and for the territorial road commis
sion. He was the contractor in charge
of the Kuskulana bridge, considered
to be one of the best pieces of work
done by the Alaska territorial road
commission. From the standpoint of
honesty and efficiency, Mr. Johnson’s
candidacy is deserving of favorable
consideration.
Tn expending territorial funds for
road purposes such men as Gust John
son, having practical experience and
ability, should not be overlooked.
COMEDY WITH GOOD PLOT

and forges a check, takes to the tall
timber and the chase is on. But “con
science makes the coward” and it
wasn’t half as easy as he imagined.!
And a year is a long time. How he
was caught, and yet won his bet forms
the plot for the five reel comedy
“Believe Me Xantippe,” booked at the
Empress to-night. R’s just one laugh
after another, a series of dilemas,
each more funny than the last. The
program is completed with a Ford
Educational, and a short comedy.
