GOVERNOR SAYS BANQUET
WILL BENEFIT TERRITORY
"The Alaska dinner in Seattle was
a great success,” said Gov. Scot C.
Bone upon his return to Juneau
recently from the spirit city.
“From every standpoint the din-,
ner was a success, and it is sure
to do Alaska a great deal of good. :
There were editors there from ev
ery place in Washington and others
from other states and all were en
thusiastic in their desire to learn'
facts about Alaska.”
The governor is busy now prepar- ■
ing for the approaching session of
the legislature and for that reason ;
hurried back to Juneau sooner than
he would under other circumstances.
G. W. Langer, representing the 1
U. S. Rubber Company, arrived
from the coast this morning, en
route to Fairbanks. He will re
turn to Nenana on the Friday train
-j
J. A. Cameron, who came down ;
from Fairbanks last week, accom
panied by Mrs. Cameron is enroute
to the States. j
FINNEGAN SECURES FUNDS
FOR DOCK AT NEW OIL TOWN
Word was received recently at
Cordova that J. J. Finnegan who
left for the states about a month
ago had financed a large wharf at
Kanatak, and work would be started
on the structure immediately upon
his return from the states.
With a good wharf Kanatak will
be enabled to cheapen freight and
transportation charges from 25 to
50 per cent, as all freight landed at
the' present time must be lightered
to the beach, and then hauled to its
destination.
Deputy Marshal A. B. Webster
arrived from Tanana today with
three prisoners in his custody. The
prisoners were Bailey, and Brown,
charged with violation of the dry
law, and Mitchael Rose charged
with grand larceny.
Paul Palfy came back from Fair
banks yesterday on a freight train.
R. C. Morris returned from Fair
banks yesterday.
HALIBUT FISHERMEN LOSE
BOAT IN COAST BLIZZARD
— I
Having sold their cargo of 10,000
pounds of halibut at 18 1-2 cents
straight, netting them a goodly sum
of $1,850, Captain Bjerke and his
crew of six men were on their way
back to Ketchikan from Prince Ru
pert when a* blinding snow storm
caused them to get off their course
and their good boat Flora, a 52 ft.
vessel, was wrecked January 24,
on Whale Rock in Danger Pass be
tween Duke and Mary Islands.
When the boat struck the rock
it commenced at once to fill with
water and the men took to the only
dory carried by the Flora. But
when they were a mile from shore,
the dory overloaded, swamped and
the men had to swim back to Whale
rock and seek safety on the Flora.
In their soaked clothing, shivering
in the icy wind, the men remained
on the rock all night, finding what
shelter they could on the boat,
from which the water had partially
been evacuted when the tide went
out so that there was a little space
that provided them with very cramp
ed quarters until 5. o’clock in the
morning of January 25, when they
were taken off and taken to Ketch
ikan on the Eidsvold by O. J. Han
sen, skipper of the Vera.

That spicy sweetness, which so appeals to you
when you eat FRYE'S DELICIOUS HAM and
FRYE’S DELICIOUS BACON comes only with
the skillful blending of the high grade ingredients
used in the curing. And the sweet hard wood smoke
gives the appetizing tang.
It’s economical and it’s convenient to buy a
half of a FRYE’S DELICIOUS HAM (either half)
Once in a while cut a thick slice and prepare as
follows: Rub well with mustard; place it in a cas
serole and cover with milk. Bake one hour in a
moderate oven, removing the cover of the casserole
the last fifteen minutes. Serve with mashed pota
toes, buttered carrots and celery; Apple Betty for
dessert.
FRYE’S WILD ROSE LARD is of the same
qualitv as FRYE'S DELICIOUS BRAND HAMS
and BACON.
Most good Alaska Dealers handle these pro
ducts. If yours does not we would much appreciate
being advised of the fact.
MINSTRELS SCORE TRIUMPH;
RECORD CROWD ENJOYS SHOW
With every seat in the Coliseum
occupied chairs filling the aisle and j
men standing at the entrance, local
talent put over a minstrel show
on Saturday night in a manner that
was highly pleasig to the large
audience and gratifying to the com
mittee which had the affair in
charge. It was a riot from start to j
finish and the final strains of the
closing chorus found the crowd
reluctant to leave their seats. The
local hits were good and went over
with a bang, and there were a lot of
them, fresh-made for the occasion.
And there were many splendid mu
sical numbers, solos, duets and
choruses, all of which were en
thusiastically received. The program
also included a step dance and the
show was brought to a close with
a one-act skit entitled “A Crooked
Man and His Crooked Wife” very
creditably presented under the dir
ection of F. J. Date, who also ap
peared in the cast, assisted by Mrs.
R. G. Southworth and Frank Teuful.
The minstrel setting took the
form of the regulation half circle,
with all of the members of the com
pany in black face and the costumes
of the end men represented the
last work in dark town afire. f The
circle also included two lady solo
ists, Miss Catherine McMahon and
Mrs. Colwitk the latter having come
in from Healy to help out with
the musical end of the program.
There was a third lady minstrel n
the company but it developed during
the evening that she was Len Hea
cock. very cleverly arrayed in fem
inine attire.
One of the pleasing features of the
show was the rapid fire manner in
which the program was carried out.
There were no tiresome delays and
no confusion, the entire show mov
ing with a smoothness that bespoke
good management and experience on
the part of those in charge.
Music for the show was provided
by an orchestra of six pieces, the
musicians being Mrs. \V. A. Coghill,
piano; Mr. and Mrs. F. O. Robinson;
violins; Lloyd White, banjo; Ed C.
P,au trombone; B. W. Miller, comet.
Captain C. G. Jones, who was
delegated by the Pioneers to act
as director add general manager of
the minstrels, and to whom much
credit is due for the pleasing re
sults achieved, appeared as inter
locutor, and his end men, all of
whom gave generously of their
time and talent, were John J. Kest
ly, Franklin J. Rogers, Charles Car
roll, Vincent P. Rogers. George
Markle and Ralph Norris. Others
who appeared in the circle and in
special numbers were Miss Catherine
CcMahon, Mrs. Colwick. Len Hea
cock, A. B. Phillips. Dr. J. R. Bowen
Billy Ford William Jerome. Joe
Fischer W. A. Coghill, Dominic Grilli
Lloyd White and Walter Czubav.
