will be patterned after the up-to-date
show-houses of the Outside. The furnish
ings will be purchased by Mr, Howell,
and some of them, at least, will be ship
ped in to Nenana over the trail.
Advices received on the last steamer
from Lituya bay state that only two men
are in the district at present, and that
they are having a hard tune existing. The
camp lias proved a fizzle so far, as amin
1 ing section, the pockets found being few
and far between. Several Tnneauites who
returned early in the fall are convinced
that the camp is not even a poor man’s
district, and more money has been sunk
there than will ever be taken out.

SHOW MAKES HIT;
Dethlefsen Benefit Nets
I
Good Sum And Is
Much Enjoyed
The entertainment and dance given at
the Coliseum last night for the benefit of
James K. Dethlefsen, former town watch
man who recently lost the fingers of both
bauds as the result of freezing his hands
on the night of the Cramer fire, was a
huge success in every way—artistically,
socially and financially—and reflects
much credit on those in charge of the
arrangements. The exact amount real
ized had not been determined at the time
of going to press, owing to the fact that
a number of tickets had not been account
ed for, but it is believed that the pro
ceeds will aggregate $500.
The program consisted of an excellent
two-reel comedy entitled “Mabel at the
Wheel;" recitation, Steve O'Neil; solo,
Little Miss Persons; cartoons, Carl Col
leen; songs, quartet consisting of Messrs.
Crawford. Mouib, Maharaud Richardson;
boxing exhibition, Masters Dick Poster
and Jack Brevig; Russian dance, Sam
BetofT; original poem, Dick Morris; solo,
Miss Jane Anderson; harmonica solo, An
thony Letray.
All the numbers were so excellent, and
so thoroughly enjoved by the large audi
ence, that it would lie difficult to say
which made the biggest hit, unless it was
the bantam fistic encounter, which took
the house by storm.
During the dance which followed the
entertainment, Bob Crawford and Bob
Mahar sang “My Northland," one of
Mr. Crawford's own compositions. The
two boys, by the way, came all ihe way
from their place at Joyce Lake to take
part in the entertainment. Another fea
ture of the dance was the raffling of a
beautiful birch bark painting, which was
given to the cause by Fred Zickwolff. It
I was won by Charles Leckie, who immed
iately put it up at auction. It was sold
several.times in this manner, until final
ly bid in by Mr. Riggs and carried off
i by him as a souvenir of the occasion.
! More than ;>50.00 was realized in this
manner.
The committee responsible for the suc
i cess of the affair consisted of Commission
er Robert K. Burns, Herman Rosburg,
Doc Ehlan, Victor Durand, Ivarl Welli
ver, Andy Hoey, Win. Gagnon and Joe
Burns. The management of the Coliseum
donated the theater for the night and
furnished the pictures, and Mr. Durand
tendered his servtces both for the enter
tainment and dance
