* TRANSPORT TO
The Alaskan engineering commis
sion has made a tentative arrange
ment with the war department for the
use of army transports to bring labor
ers from San Francisco to Seward and
Anchorage, says the Seward Gateway.
Between 500 and 1,000 men will be
^brought north, according to advices,
for work on the railroad now in course
of construction.
The initial trip will be made some
'time this month. Colonel H. P. War
ren is now en route from Chicago to
San Francisco and it is expected he
will confirm the agreement for the use
of transports in bringing laborers to
Alaska. It is understood the men will
be brought to Seward and sent by rail
to stations between there and the end
of steel.
COMEDY OF CHARMING
SIMPLICITY ON PROGRAM
TONIGHT AT EMPRESS
“Castles in the Air” is a delightful
comedy of refreshing and charming
simplicity, in which May Allison, the
“golden girl of the screen,” displays
a wide range of talent.
She is seen as Fortuna, a romantic
little usher in a fashionable theatre.
"^She believes that romance, excepting
in novels, is all “bunk,” for no such
wonderful experiences as she reads
of in “The Barmaid’s Romance” come
to her. Still, she hopes for a million
aire husband. She meets her million
aire, and it leads to her own pretty
life-romance, as well as to happiness
for the millionaire, but that does not
mean that she marries millions. Just
how the threads of her young life
touch those of the weary man of the
^world, and where it leads, and how,
forms a story in wliicn Hashes of bril
liant humor blend with real heart ap
peal.
Together with a travel film and a
short comedy, “Castles in the Air”
forms tonight’s program at the Em
press
UNALAKLEET NATIVE
" AND AFFINITY ENTER
INTO SUICIDE PACT
A native of Unalakleet recently
made a suicide pact with his affinity,
but failed to carry out the program
before he was arrested by the civil
autkoritites. The dusky Romeo is
married to another woman, but cast
covetous eyes upon the wife of his
neighbor. He thereupon hied to the
commissioner and applied for a di
vorce, all same Mary Pickford, but
the commissioner refused his plea for
escape from matrimonial entangle
ments. Thereupon the native and his
greasy soulmate planned to leave the
world behind and find a haven of love
in Elysian fields. They -were prepar
ing to charter Mr. Charon’s vessel to
cross the River of Desire, when the
mother of the girl heard of the ar
rangements and sent a marshal after
them. The law’s interference was ob
jected to by the would-be-decadent,
who seized his trusty seal gun and
told the deputy to vamoose and let a
man die, or Eskimo to that effect.
He also stated he was sorry the dep
uty was not accompanied by the com
missioner as in that case it would be
desirable to take him along as they
wanted to get married beyond the
Stygian shore and he would be right
there to do the job up right. The
marshal discreetly withdrew, and the
dusky swain succeeded in shooting
himself through the shoulder.
