During the past few years Deeming
Wheeler, an Indiana banker, has been
making Cordova his headquarters,
while enjoying the outdoor lift of Al
aska, and his long “mushes” over the
frozen trails with dogs teams appear
to have excited considerable curiosity
for no other reason than the fact that
he did not herald his business to the
natives, and others, in interior camps.
This is the pen picture drawn of him
in the Nome Industrial Worker of Feb
ruary 27:
“A man named Wheeler, who ar
rived recently from the Outside will
leave tomorrow for Dawson. It has
to be confessed that there is some
curiosity about Mr. Wheeler, owing
to the fact that he 1b quite a regular
winter visitor, but when a man keeps
his business to himself people will be
come curious and conjecture many
things all wide of the mark. It is un
derstood that he will return via Daw
*
1
son.”
The Ruby Record-Citizen of March
20 reprints the above and makes the
following startling discovery:
"That's the fellow. He arrived at
Ruby last Sunday evening and went,
on up the river Thursday. By a ruse
he was placed placed in a fix here
where he either had to disclose the
first part of his name or appear un
necessarily rude to the hesitatingly
gave his signature as D. Wheeler.
On another occasion he was heard to
confess an admiration for good dogs.
That is all that has been learned of
the intimate affairs of Mr. Wheeler in
his numerous pigrimages through this
smiling land. As the Nome paper
suggests, there is ‘‘some curiosity”
about him, all right.”
With an Alaskan Flavor
In the latest number of Saturday
Evening Post, Mrs. van dampen, of
Latouche has a write-up about these
parts of Alaska. The article is ac

('apt. A. E. Eathrop, the managing
owner of the Empress theatre, who
has just returned from an extended
stay in the states, has perfected plans
whereby he will establish a chain of
moving picture shows In Alaska.
While in Seattle he made arrange
ments for securing some of the best
photoplays that are shown in films,
and was only able to do so by con
tracting for the use of the same in
several different theatres.
While in Seward the other day.
Captain Eathrop closed a deal for a
central location for the establishment
of a new theatre. He has also a
building at Valdez, which will be trans
formed into an ideal theatre. Both
of these playhouses are to be fitted
up in a manner that will be creditable
to the towns in which they are locat
ed, and a monument to their owner,
ns whatever the Captain undertakes
he does well.
Cordova, Valdez and Seward will
be the first links in the great theatri
cal chain that our townsman intends
to possess. If conditions warrant it
Ship Creek and Knik may also be ln
j eluded in the circuit that Capt. Eath
■ rop is establishing.

NEW SCHOOL BOARD
MEETS AND ORGANIZES
I ,ast night the new school board or
ganized with A. J. Adams as presi
dent. Mrs. Wm. J. McDonald, treas
urer. and Duard Mosser, clerk. The
applications for positions as teach
ers were read, and there were many of
them. In fact there are more people
desirous of coming here to teach the
“young Idea how to shoot” than we
have pulpls. Some of them are of
the male persuasion, but most of them
are charming young ladles, judging
from the photographs submitted. The
board adjourned until Saturday, May
1, without having made any selection.
Cordova schools are being so well con
ducted. and have reached such a high
standard of efflclensy that In all
probability Miss Ware and Miss Crabb
will be tendered their present posi
tions as an evidence of appreciation
of the faithful and excellent service
rendered during the past two years.
CANNOT IMPORT
FIGHT FILMS
TDU.S.
NEW YORK, April 1C—The New
York custom house, and all custom
houses along the Atlantic seaboard,
have been instructed to watch for an
attempt to import the Johnson-Wil
lard fight pictures into the United

destroyed. Jess Willard, the new
champion, says that no attempt will
be made to import the pictures, and
that the law will be obeyed.
CHi™ BRIDGE COES
OUT WITH THE ICE
The floating Ice In the river thin
morning took out one bent of the
railroad bridge at Chltlna, and the
probabilities are that more damage
will result. This Is a usual occur
rence In the spring, and Just as soon
ns the Ice stops running, the pile
driver crew will go to the scene and
rebuild the wnshed-away part of the
bridge. In the meantime all traffic
above Chltina will have to be suspend
ed. Just how long this condition of
affairs will continue Is problematical,
although It Is not likely to be more
than a couple of weeks.
SEATTLE, April 16—The steamet
