MRS. DONER IMPROVING
According to recent advices re

Mr. Doner writes that they make

ful resort where they spent their

Mr. Doner says he is not coming

tinue in the employ of the Alaska
Railroad.

and raising feed for their feathered
flock and themselves.

THE CUP OF LIFE
Since Marco Polo first dared the
hidden dangers of uncharted oceans
to journey his way from Europe to
the mysterious shores of India and
the Orient, the colorful kingdoms
and empires lying “somewhere east
of Suez” have beckoned the ad
venturer with the lure of beauty,
romance and glamour.
Singapore, the trade center of the
Orient, a port of ancient traaitions
and modern business, where today
rubs shoulders with yesterday, is
the alluring background of Thos. H.
Ince's latest special production, The
Cup of Life, which is announced as
the feature to be shown at the Col
iseum tomorrow night.
The story is a tremendous drama
of a father’s love for his son and of
the unjustified vengeance of a pow
erful Chinese merchant prince. De
lightfully combined with a delicate
love story, and scenes of stirring ac
tion, are revealed the fundamental
differences that will forever separ
ate the Orient from the Occident—
the dividing line of races.
The cosmopolitan atmosphere of
Singapore has been exploited to the
fullest advantage in attaining pow
erful and effective contrast, and in
reaching the tremendous dramatic

KANTISHNA MAIL SERVICE
VERY BAD SAY ARRIVALS
Recent arrivals in town from the
Kantishna district declare that the
people of that section are up ir
arms as a result of the inadequate
mail service now provided by the
postoffice department. They agre«
that something will have to be done
and done quickly to relieve the situ
ation if development plans are to bt
carried out. Under present condi
tions of service, it is declared, it is
difficult to induce men to go into th«
district because of the isolatior
resulting from the infrequent anc
uncertain arrival of mails.
It is stated that only one mai
has reached the district this sum
mer, and N'enana business men ar<
urged to take some action that will
result in improved service.
A freight train arrived from the
coast today, with freight from the
Alameda. It will leave for the south
