'FAIRBANKS CLUB URGING
PASSAGE OF BONUS BILL
The Fairbanks Commercial Club
has sent the following telegram to
Senator Tasker L. Oddie. committee
j on mines and mining, urging favor
able action on the pending gold
bonus bill, and N*enana is requested
to take similar action:
"We sincerely commend your
Senate Bill 4040. Are keenly a
waiting its progress. In Alaska on
ly bonanza or specially economic
types of gold deposits are profit
ably operating. Mines which ordin
arily yield modest profit are closed
with workings and equipment de
teriorating. Alaska gold output
. synchronizes with world production
j as influenced by general economic
factors. Decline began in 1915 and
continues sharply downward each
year. Production last year but 44
per cent of 1915 figure or decrease
of nine million dolars. Government
and other competent authorities a
gree with this to primarily due de
J pletion reserves. Geological survey (
estimates only one-half recoverable
* placer gold in this district mined.
I Gold lode production this district
; declined eighty per cent 1916 com
* pared 1915 and is still practically
j dormant.”
j Inasmuch as the gold bonus pro
1 position practicaly originated in N'e
nana, the Nenar.a Commercial Club
being first organization in Alaska
| to advocate that means of stimul
; ating mining; the request of the
. Fairbanks organization a: this time
| undoubtedly will receive hearty co
operation. Mr. R S. McDonald,
former U. S. Commissioner at N'e-’
nana. is credited with origination
of the bonus plan.

. ident Engineer J. J. Kestley retura
i ed from Fairbanks today and re
port That a number of live wires
in ;he upper town are planning
to come to N'enana for the Pioneer
Minstrels next week.

GORGEOUS CABARET SCENE IN
NEW WARNER PICTURE
COLISEUM TOMORROW
An elaborate fashion review anil
some unusual scenes of an unusual
cabaret frequented only by the
elite are but two of the many high
| lights to be seen in "Why Girls
Leave Home." featuring Anna Q.
, Xillson and produced by Warner
Brothers, which will be seen at
iColiseum Theatre, tomorrow.
The fashion review is staged :n
i a high class department store, and
'• in the trend of unfolding many i
i beautiful gowns of the latest design !
are brought to view for the first
time. In order to film this lavish i
| scene a number of beautiful models
were engaged, and as they reveal
: the stunning costumes the spectator j
! is given an insight into one of the j
reasons why girls leave home. An- j
other good reason is said to be’fur-'
| r.ished in the splendor^that vivifies
[the carabet scene—the Palais Des
| Arts. j
j Here where only men of the finan I
cial world, men whose incomes run '
into five or six figures annually, i
can hope to meet the bill for thej
evenings entertainment without the
flicker of an eyelash, are seen dis
porting in all their glory’. The scene
is lavishly invested with a beauty
that defies description. The enter
tainment afforded the cabaret pat
rons is strikingly unusual. For in
stance, oce of the feminine dance
artists drops slowly from the ceiling
enveloped in a silk balloon and as
it strikes the dance floor she emer
ges much to the surprise of the
crowd, and with the music in full
swing she holds the spectator? spell
bound with her entrancing move
ments.
