BLANCHE SWEET
IN PHOTOORAMA
ATCOLISEUM
For tonight’s show at the Coli-;
seum, the management has selected
the Jesse L. Lasky feature, entitled
“The Thousand Dollar Husband,”:
featuring the famous screen artist;
Blanche Sweet.
In all her previous Lasky pro
ductions, Blanche Sweet has had
husbands thrust upon her. She
had been pursued by hundreds of
admirers and had many at her feet,!
but in her forthcoming production,!
“The Thousand Dollar Husband,”.
she buys a husband and strange as
it may seem, the purchased does not j
welcome the sale. In this produc
tion Miss Sweet is first seen as a
Swedish maid of all work in a col-1
lege boarding house. She is madly
in love with one of the students
and when she suddenly becomes
wealthy and the young man faces
ruin, she offers to pay his debts i
if he will marry her. How the |
wealthy bride of the loveless marri-1
age is set upon by a band of crooks j
and howr she is eventually saved and \
wins the love of her husband goes t
to make one of the most unusual I
photodramas ever presented.
The Jesse L. Lasky company has:
surounded Miss Sweet with a casti
of unusual excellence including
Theodore Roberts, T. Forman, Jane
Wolff, Horace B. Carpenter, Luic-ile;
LaVarney and others.
Popular prices will prevail to
night, the general admission being!
25 cents, with reserved seats 251
cents extra.
BOXING FANS OF
TACOMA ORGANIZE
TO PROTECT SPORT
TACOMA, Wash.—Lovers of box-;
ing here have organized with a;
view of protecting this sport in the j
future from the disrepute which j
often attaches to it as the result:
of questionable actions by both pro-j
rnoters and boxers.
Under the title of the “Western ■
Washington Association for the1
Government of Boxing,” an associa- j
tion of sportsmen was formed, with ;
Daniel Salt of Seattle as president.
The United States service boxing
rules will govern. Just what con
trol the organization will exercise
has not yet been determined.
The condition of Postmaster T.
H. Deal, of Fairbanks, who was
taken ill several days ago with what
appears to have been ptomaine
poisoning, is recovering rapidly and i
will be out of the hospital within
a few days.

That there were not two great
! marine disasters instead of one,
! during the fateful month of Oc
tober, last year, was due more to
i good luck than to the exercise of
care on the part of steamship of
‘ficials, according to a recent ar
rival in Nenana from the States.
The steamship ' Alameda, which
'sailed from Cordova just after the
■ Sophia had foundered in Lynn
canal, was storm-bound for several
days on the voyage south, and at
i one time even the bravest aboard
the ship believed their time had
come. The vessel lay practically
stationary for 24 hours, making i
only eight miles in that time. Great
waves broke over the ship, burying j
it beneath their weight of water and ;
taxing the strength of the craft to i
the utmost. But she plowed steadi-i
Iy, although slowly, forward and j
eventually, after many hours of |
anxiety, reached less disturbed wa-:
ters and completed the run to Pu
get sound without further trouble.
But while experienced seamen
grew uneasy during the great storm,
none realized, until they reached
the quiet waters of Puget sound,
how close to death they had really
been. Here the steering gear of
the Alameda suddenly collapsed,
leaving the vessel powerless to pro
ceed, but within easy reach of as
sistance, which responded promptly.
Had this accident occurred dur
ing the storm off the Alaska coast,
the loss of life doubtless would
have been as great as that of the
Canadian boat, but much less would
have been known of the cause. With
steering gear gone, the vessel would j
have swung quickly into the trough i
of the sea, and there the passen- j
gers and crew would have perished, j
for no small boat could have reach
ed shore, it is claimed, in such
storm as was then raging.
I
While the Alameda was held sta- j
tionary by the wind, distress calls |
reached the wireless room from the I
Canadian steamer Galiano, which j
was reported sinking at a distance I
of only twenty miles from the j
liner. But the Alameda could not I
go to the rescue. She could hardly j
hold her own, and any attempt at i
maneuvering undoubtedly would I
have demolished the rudder, •which ■
managed somehow to hold togetherj
through the trying hours of the j
storm.
The Galiano, which was reported
sinking on October 30, and from i
which nothing was heard afterward,{
was a Canadian lighthouse tender, i
enroute from Triangle island to j
Ikeda, Queen Charlotte island5, j
with a crew of thirty on board.
The Cascade Laundry has plenty
of hot soft water at all times. New
bath rooms, fully equipped and san*
itary, with special rooms for ladies.
You get ’■ebate with $2.50 laundry,
which applies on bath, or pay 50c
per bath.
HEIMBERGER TO OPEN

undertaking outfit for A. W. Heim
berger, who plans to establish a j
first class undertaking business

of years ago in Indiana. And dur
ing his reecnt visit at Fairbanks,
he was examined as to his qualifi
cations and authorized to engage
in business in Alaska.

MRS. J. H. RUSSELL
! MAKING TRIP AFTER
18 YEARS IN NORIH
Mrs. J. H. Russell, who left for
: Seattle on a visit to her son, Leith,
| is making the trip after a continu
jous stay of 18 years in the North
land, and she expects to enjoy a
well merited and we® earned holi
i day.
Mrs. Russell first came North
;with her husband early in 1898, and
| they settled in Atlin during the
; boom times of that camp, where
Mr. Russell engaged in business,
i He built the Russell house and the
wharf there, as well as the brewery
; and other buildings.
in the summer of 1899, the Brit
ish Columbian authorities enacted
, a law which prohibited aliens from
holding or in any way acquiring
mining or other property. The law
went into effect the same year and
all Americans, who had practically
opened up the country, were ob
liged to relinquish their claims.
The majority of them pulled up
stakes and left the country, and in
an incredibly short space of time
the once flourishing camp dwindled
down to a small community. This
pernicious law was repealed the
next year by the Dominion govern
ment at Ottawa, but the damage
had been done, and Atlin was class
ed among the second raters.
Early in 1900, the Russell family
moved to Whitehorse, Y. T., . and
in the following year they went
Outside on a short visit, returning
to Whitehorse the same year.
The town of Dawson, during this
period, was the main camp in the
Yukon territory, and offered many
opportunities in a mercantile and
mining way, and in 1902 the Russell
family moved thither, Mr. Russell
engaging in mining on a nearby
creek with little success.
About this time, Fairbanks was
a flourishing mining camp and was
enjoying boom times, fortunes were
being rapidly made, the population
seemed to be ever increasing and
business of all kinds possible. In
1905 the Russell family moved to
Fairbanks, which has been their
home town in the North ever since.
Five of the younger Russells were
born in Fairbanks and the family
has the rare distinction of having
no less than seven native sons and
daughters of the Golden North
among its members.
Mr. and Mrs; J. H. Russell and
family are well and favorably
known throughout the Northland, ;
both in the Yukon and contiguous
territory and in Alaska proper; in
fact, it would be hard to find any- i
one in this great territory who has
not met at some time or other, at
least one member of this much re-'
spected family.
Mrs. Russell is relinquishing the j
cares of a large family, which she j
has so well reared during the past j
years, to visit her son in Portland j
and incidentally have a good free j
time, free from all care, knowing!
full well that her well trained |
daughters will worthily “keep the |
homes fires burning” and see that
Dad Russell gets the necessary
quota of fussing over, and that her
absence will not be keenly felt.
The children have split up the
household duties among themselves
and the Russell home on upper A
street is now always the scene of
j a vast activity, everything is spick
and span and shipshape against the
arrival of mother. The kids are
determined to show by actual
achievement that the lessons she
has taken so much pains to teach
them have borne fruit and that
they, too, can keep house almost
as well as mother can.

NOTICE
—
On account of what must be a1
misunderstanding by the public re
garding the order io exclude people :
from the docks, I desire to make
it plain so that people who may not j
be permitted on the dock will have
no cause to complain or feel they
have been treated unfairly.
It is the positive order of the j
commanding officer at Fort Gibbon
and of Mr. Browne, engineer in ■
charge, that “No One” be permitted j
to pass through or be in the dock j
other than actual employees en- j
gaged in discharging cargo and
passengers leaving or going aboard
the steamers.
Should visitors be permitted in
the dock or allowed to pass freely I
to and from the boats, it would
be possible for a careless person or
one intent on damage to cause fire1
or otherwise harm the government
property.
There is no one authorized to j
give you permission to break this j
rule, except those who issued this j
order; therefore, any attempt to
argue the right or wrong of the
case, while trying to get through j
into the dock, is only wasting the j
time of all concerned. You and j
your special business does not differ
from any one else, and it is to
be hoped those who have the in
terest of safeguarding the govern
ment property at heart will not
make a request to pass to and from
steamers, nor to stand inside the
warehouse.
The situation here is different
from other towns. This dock is
government property, and used only
in the manner the officials in charge
may order. What may or may not
be done in other places has ab
solutely nothing to do with the
case here. Further, “A pass on the
Commission grounds IS NOT a pass
through the docks.”
Will you kindly help enforce the
order by not attempting to break it.

Agent.]
Sylvester Howell and R. E. Burns
left Fairbanks this morning on a
hurred trip to Stiel creek. They
expect to return to the upper town
