COL. HEEZA LIAR
CAUSES MANY
There are many people who see
the animated cartoons which are a
part of the Pathe Weeklies that are
being shown at the Empress Theatre
that wonder how these cartoons are
drawn. ; Por their ’Information the
following article Is reprinted from the
Moving Picture World:
’’Mention the name of ‘Colonel
Heeza I.iar' to almost anyone and
you’ll see his or her face light up and
a smile spread all over It. Who does
not know the funny little colonel?
Who hasn't laughed at his antics as
he hunted wild beasts In central Af
rica, outwitted cannibals on the Riv
er of Doubt, cultivated his farm with
some strange assistants and hunted
ghosts In Castle Clare?
"J. R. Bray Is the originator and
creator of these dratngs, and he was
the first to put motion into the draw
ing Itself. Mr. Bray started his ex
periments over seven years ago. To
day he Is the head of an organization
devoted to making his pictures, has
a corps of artists working under his
supervision, and has patents on his
process which cover the use of trans
parent material made by any agency
whatever in the making of animated
drawings.
nn„ ...___ 1.1 l__ ik. _
Hence to do Mr. Bray's work. It
takes between four and five hundred
drawings to make 1,000 feet, or one
reel of film. In addition to the colos
sal toll of the art work It takes a
week to photograph the drawings,
one at a time. Great speed, united
with unvarying accuracy, is essential.
Kvery stroke of the pen must count.
“Mr. Bray works so fast that be is
able to keep four trained artists
‘inking in’ the outline drawings which
he makes. The necessity for accu
racy is evident when it is learned
(hat the drawings are magnified on
the screen to at least 500 times. Mr
Bray was born In Detroit, Mich., and
has lived in New York since 1901. He
was for seven years a newspaper ar
tist. being also a steady contributor
to the humorous weeklies, such as
Tdfe, Puck and Judge. He took his
Ideas to Pathe Freres over three
years ago, since he felt that such a
house, with Its many foreign branches
could give him a large International
■irculatlon.
“The Pathe officials at once saw
the value of his work, and from that
day to this he has dealt only with
Pathe. Millions of persons have
laughed, and are laughing, at the
'Heeza Liar' and ‘Police Dog’ series,
and his political cartoons in the Pathe
News, the motion picture weekly,
have attracted widespread newspaper
comment. Mr. Bray has truly origin
ated a new school of art."

FAIRBANKSAN HAS NARROW
ESCAPE FROM DEATH,
Henry T. Hay, townsite trustee and
formerly Grand Arctic Chief of the
Arctic Brotherhood at Fairbanks, had
a miraculous escape from death when
he fell through a trap door at the
fire hall. He fell to the bottom of
the cellar and as he fell he hit a chain
which brought the trap down on top
of him. When the firemen rushed
to his aid in full expectation of find
ing hltn dead, they found that he
suffered only from cuts and bruises,
which will soon heal.
SEAMAN’S ACT AFFECTS ALASKA
STEAM ER8.
All vessels running to Alaska will
be compelled from this time forward
to cut down the number of passen
gers. The Northwestern, which was
permitted to carry 38.2 passengers,
can only carry 269 in future, and all
the other ships have had to cut ac
cordingly, on account of the new Sea
man’s Law. The law reduces the
number of passengers in accordance
with the number of life boats carried.

BELIEVES IN° ELIMINATING
BOTH SHACK AND WICK
While In Valdez Chairman Herron
met several of the leading Republi
I cans of Valdez, and staled that he
I had been In communication with the
j party leaders of the other divisions
and believed that Seward would be
selected as the place where the con
vention will be held. The date of
the convention has not been arranged
but It is believed that It will be held
late in March or early In April.
It Is understood that Herron is de
sirous of eliminating both Wicker
sham and Shackleford from control
of the party, believing that the only
way upon which the ranks of the
party can be united. In tho past he
has been a staunch supporter of
Shackleford, and may continue to do
so If the latter does not attempt to
foist Wlckersham on the party.
If the threatened break between
Shackleford and Herron for control
of the party materializes, it will be
a pretty fight before the convention
next spring, as both men are work
ing to secure the support of the dif
ferent divisions.—Valdez Prospector.
BIG SHIPMENT OF GOLD DUST
COMING FROM IDITAROD.
William Good, who arrived from
Ruby, reports that the 2,800 pounds
of gold coming out in charge of Haley
and Griffis from Iditarod. cannot
reach Seward for several days yet,
and possibly not for two weeks. He
says the impression around Knlk was
that it was due there at any time,
but that they were held up at Ta
cotna for nearly two weeks on ac
count of the dogs tiring out, and be
cause of the extremely cold weather.
When Mr. Good left Tacotnn the tem
perature was 58 below, and they had
that weather for several weeks. —

GENERAL ELECTRIC COMPANY

Frank E. Youngs writes F. J. Cot
ter that negotiations have been com
pleted whereby the General Electric
Company of New York, the largest
electrical manufacturers in the United
States, if not in the world, purchased
the holdings of the Valdez Creek Min
ing Company. This piece of placer
is one of the largest and most valu
able of any in Alaska, and was de
veloped and managed by A. H. Bry
ant. formerly of Seward and a part
ner of Mr. Youngs. The electric
company will take charge of tho mine
immediately and carry on operations
there on a larger scale than ever be
fore—Seward Gateway.

FAIRBANKS IN JANGLE III
NATIONAL CAPITAL
—
i A recent dispatch from Fairbanks
j says:
‘•Considerable controversy has :
i arisen over conflicting accounts which '
are now being received from Wash
ington from Delegate Wickersham and I
Marshal Erwin regarding the work1
of construction on the railroad at
this end from Nenana to this city 1
Each is a casing the other of knock '
ing the railroad and almost every-1
thing else. It Is the general belief j
here that Erwin is acting the part j
of a ‘•butinsky." He was called to j
Washington In the first place to an
swer charges, and not represent the
people. The most ridiculous advices 1
are being received from Washington
constantly here, and It is clear that
lie greater part of the so-called in
formation Is only being guessed at.
The whole district regrets the fight
at the national capital, as they fear
such disputes will have a bad effect."
