HARRY DAVIS FRANK TAYLOR
The steamer Tanana, which ar
rived in port this morning from Fair
banks, brings the report that the
barge in tow of the steamer Shu
sana was sunk in the middle of the
river opposite “Eat-em-up” Franks
roadhouse. The barge is said to be
almost completely submerged, only
a small portion of a corner of it
appearing above water.
The steamer Shusana sailed from
Nenana yesterday morning, towing
the barge American, which had a
load consisting of 320 55-pound
rails, 40 kegs of spikes and bolts,
500 angle bars and two drums of
gasoline, each drum containing 110
gallons.
The cargo was to have been un
loaded at Chena, where a special
derrick had been erected for the
purpose of unloading this material.
The extent of the damage to the
barge and cargo is not known defin
itely and it is quite probable that
a Commission employee will be sent
up to the Shusana for the purpose
of rendering assistance to salve the
cargo.
HISmPLAY
WILL BE SHOWN
AT COLISEUM
In his great film “Intolerance”,
which will be presented at the Coli
seum on August 30th and September
1st, D. W. Griffith has visualized
imaginings such as one might have
after reading Arabian Nights, but
never expected to enjoy except in
fancy. There are not superlatives
enough to do justice to this creation,
particularly that part of it recreat
ing ancient Babylon and showing the
scenes attendant upon the taking
of that city by Cyrus the Great and
his horde of Persians.
Mr. Griffith in “Intolerance”,
with its four parallel, co-related
stories, has set a mark in spectacu
lar motion picture production that
may never be surpassed. It is safe
to assert that if it is surpassed it
will be done by Mr. Griffith him
self, and not by any of his rivals,
clever and resourceful as some of
them are, because “Intolerance”, is
so much vaster in conception and
more masterly in execution than any
thing which has gone before that
it is logical to assume that anything
bigger will come from the brain
which gave it birth.
The ethical purpose of “Intoler
ance” as its name suggests, is to
show that narrowness and bigotry
and lack of human sympathy have
been responsible from earliest times
until now for most of the misery
under which the world has staggered.
The historical incidents taken by
( Mr. Griffith to illustrate this truth
are the betrayal of Babylon to the
Persians by the priests of Baal; the
persecution and the crucifixion of
Christ; the parallel modern story
shows how the pharisees and bigots
of today, including the holier-than
thou-reformers, retard social prog
ress and make a mockery of law
and justice.
’ j Each of the separate stories has
| its separate characters and each in
turn is interrupted to give way to
one of the others. The whole is in
tended to show the prevalence and
iniquity of intolerance in all ages.
The most spectacular features of
the entire picture relate to Babylon
and its fall. The battle scenes, in
troducing all the ancient methods
of warfare, are on an indescribably
stupendous scale. How many per
sons are employed in the picture
no one but the director himself prob
ably knows. There seemed to bt
thousands and then more thousands
, Dare-devil feats were numerous anc
the turmoil and excitement of some
of the scenes became almost mad

NENANAITE JELLS
OF ARMY LIFE
NEAR THE FRONT
Late Employee of the A. E. C.
Is Helping to Build Roads
In France Now.
Lyman Longfellow, who was for
some time instrumer.tman in the
employ of the Alaskan Engineering
commission, is now a sergeant in
the 318th Regiment of Engineers
in France. j
His regiment arrived ‘Over There’
last May, and are now preparing
to go to the front, where the ac
tual fighting take place, soon. Ly
man has been permitted to men
tion in his letter to a friend in
Nenana, the name of the town in
which his regiment is stationed tem
porarily, which he says is called
Gievres, and is somewhere near
Paris. ii
They are engaged at present in
construction work on the railroads
of France, and Lyman is doing
transitman’s work, but ever so much
more of it than he was ever called
upon to do here.
He speaks of having visited a
nearby town, provided with a pass
from his commanding officer, where
he had a pretty good time. France,
he says, is not a dry country by a
long way.
i From all accounts the former
Nenanaite is getting along well and
says he likes his work and that
he expects soon to be given an op
1 portunity to take part in actual
battle.
