ANDERSON BROS. & NERLAND
!
The Ued Cross benefit, which
is to be given at the Coliseum
on .Monday evening under the
the direction of tin* ladies of
Xenana will afford the public
an exceptional opportunity to
assist a worthy cause. Excep
tional because of the excellence
of the program that has been
arranged and because of the
fact that the show is to be fol
lowed by a dance of metropol
itan proportions.
The program will consist of
a number of local motion pic
tures taken bv Mr. Higgs since
the commencement of the rail
road work; a recitation by Mr.
Pennington, a vocal solo by
Miss .lane Anderson, an origi
nal poem by Mr. Morris, danc
ing by the Sheldon Sisters,
| 7Vy Our Bread
| THE TAVERN j
| Cafe and Bakery ji
and a patriotic Pathe and a
comedy by the Coliseum man
agement.
Tlie various committees nam
ed hy Mrs. Riggs to make tlie
arranyements for tin* heuetit
are as follows: advertising com
mittee, Mesdames Love, Smith.
Ryus, Kllenson and Redman;
music, Mrs. Cramer. Miss And
erson, Mrs. I turns; refresh
ments, Mesdamys, Foster, llnli
hach. Rust. Fowler. Adams,
Moore Alderman, Lund. Hall,
I’revig; tickets, Mrs. Lawrence.
The following voting ladies
will devote their time during
the evening to the sale of pop
corn, peanuts and programs:
Misses Kohlie, Foster, Delaney,
Russell, Slippern and the
Misses Anderson.
The funds realized from the
benefit will go to endow a bed
in an American hospital in
France for tin* use of American
soldiers. Mrs. IJiggs has been
advised that the sum of £000
will suffice for an entire year
for that purpose and the ladies
are hopeful that the benefit
will enable them to place Xe
nana on the honor roll.
The admission charge for tin*
benefit, including entertain
ment and dance, will be the
small sum of one dollar. The
ladies wish it understood, how-]
ever, that there is no limit to'
the number of tickets that any]
one person may purchase.
Mr. and Mrs. Ed Rust have \
returned from Fairbanks, af
ter a brief absence in the up-1
per town.

IIAI) TO DO IT
ltirkenliead—In an address
delivered here vesterdav, Dav
id Lloyd < leorge declared that
the Germans did not deride to
invade Ktissia with the sword
until it was evident that the
revoltitiot i ry plans had mis
carried. 'lie said further that
he was convinced that the sub-1
marines of-tire Germans never
would he aide to heat down
the strength of the i’ritish cm
pin* or defeat the ships of the
Allies. i
Anchorage Wireless Station.
A permanent wireless station
to replace the temporary plant
now inoperation. is being erect-j
ed by the Alaskan Engineering ]
( ommision on Government
Hill, overlooking the Anchorage)
terminal yards. The present
plant is housed in the power
house, which is situated so near
the machine shops that the j
noise from the shops and pas
sing locomotives interferes with
the effectiveness of the appara
tus.
The new installation involves)
the erection of two 200 foot j
fir masts, a six-wire aerial with ;
a spread of thirty by four hun
dred feet, and a building 27 x
27 feet. The building will con
tain an operating room, gener
ating room and living quarters
for two men. A 2-KW 500
cycle transmitting aparatus and
and one of the latest types of re
reivers with supersensitive
audion detectors and ampli
fiers will he included in the op
erating equipment. All power
and transmitting panels, con
trols, etc., will be located in
the operating room, making it
unnecessary for the operator
to leave* his post in order to
start or stop the mechanism.
For the present power will he
obtained from the alternating
plant in the terminal yards.
The apparatus now in use has
an operating radius toward the
sett of about 500 miles, suffici
ent to communicate with Kodi
ak. the Alaskan peninsula and I
boats off the inlet. Even
under the adverse conditions
now obtaning messages origi
nating more than 1.000 miles
from Anchorage have been
heard by the local plant, and
uontqpttsm peAojdmt et[t i|jt.w
conditions of the new station
the receiving radius will be
greatly extended.
Fairbanks— The machinery
for a new dredge, to take the
place of the one now in opera
tion on Fairbanks creek, will
arrive from the Outside be
fore the (dose of navigation
and will be hauled to the creek
during the winter and installed
in time to begin operations in
the early summer. The new
machine "ill cost approximate
ly SIMM1,(1110 by the time it is
ready for business.
Fairbanks—Mrs. A. D. Far
dee, who is visiting Fairbanks
with her husband, has pro

month. An additional gift of
Sol Ml as made to put the li
brary on its feet
Mr. Pardee knows the son
of the founder of the library
and it was through that ac
quaintance that the visitors be
came interested in the disabled
institution, which the town
lias been unable properly to
support.
