' PURVIS IS ARCHITECT
FOR NEW THEATER TO
BE BUILT AT HYDER
The Hyder Theater Company has
been organized in Seattle for the pur
pose of building a large, up-to-date
moving picture house in the town of
Hyder, on Portland canal. Eastman
& Purvis, architects, are now working
jpn the plans and specifications. The
theater will be 50x100 feet and will
have a seating capacity of 700. Mr.
Pmrvis is well known to Alaskans as
the architect who planned and built
the fine moving picture houses for
Captain A. E. Lathrop at Anchorage
and Cordova. He specializes in the
ater building, in which he has been
engaged in New York city, Chicago,
San Francisco and Seattle. This has
been his occupation for the past thirty
years. It is probable that Mr. Purvis

“Wired Wireless”-and Everybody Talking at Once
PERFECTION of a method of “wired wireless,” by means of which at fewest
ten and possibly 50 conversations may be carried on simultaneously by
means of a single wire by persons thousands of miles apart, will soon be an
nounced by Maj. Gen. George O.
oquieri, ahici umirtri ui i lie jiriny. ;
The method, it was said, makes
long-distance telephone communication
virtually limitless. Conversations
from Argentina to Alaska will he a
matter of course, provided single
wires are strung between the points
i mentioned, fThe new method will save
telephone and telegraph companies
large suras^ of money, as by its use
one wire will do the work now riimu
by ten or more.
“Wired wireless” is a system of guiding radio currents by means of
a wire. The currents travel through the air alongside the wire, which guides
them to their destination, it was explained. The method eliminates one
fault of the ordinary radio which sends the messages broadcast in all direc
tions. Under the Squier method the wave currents stay close to the wire,
thus insuring reliabilty and secrecy.
The high frequency current travels along the wire, but not in it, passing
through the ether as do radio waves, with the difference that instead of be
ing'diffused it travels in a path of which the w’ire serves as core.

WE ARE THE LARGEST DEALERS IN RAW AND MANUFACTURED
FURS IN THE NORTHWEST, and all we ask of you, Mr. Shipper, is to give
us the chance of a trial shipment and we will convince you that we pay more
for furs and make quicker returns than you can get anywhere in the country.
We ha\e been in business in Alaska for 36 years and have built up a very"
extensive trade. We sell manufactured furs in all parts of the United States..
Canada, and in a great many European cities.
By shipping to us you are not only helping an Alaska industry but you ara
helping yourself to build up a business that belongs to Alaska.
We eliminate the middleman entirely, as*we buy direct from the trapper and
trader and sell direct to the consumer: thus we are able to pay you a better
price than you can get elsewhere. WE MAKE RETURNS THE SAME DAY
SHIPMENT IS RECEIVED.
If so desired, when your shipment amounts to $100 or more, we will wire out
bid, and if not entirely satisfactory you may wire at our expense and we will
j skip to any place you designate.
All we ask of you is to be fair with yourself as well as with us, and make us
a trial shipment; the result will make you a steady shipper.
