EVIDENCE OF PROGRESS
As shown by (the annual report of
the collector of customs for Alaska,
there has been a steady, if not inflat- j
ed growth in all lines of business
with the volume so evenly spread
that no particular resource may
claim great advances over another,
such as sudden production of large
volumes of precious metals, etc. Ev
idence says the Anchorage Times,
that the railroad belt or the third
division, has passed through its low
est level of business reaction and
emerges in 1922 on the ascendancy
with the outlook never brighter for
continued forward progress may be
noted in all phases of the report.
As has been pointed out from
time to time, the success of the ter
ritory does not hinge upon sudden!
boom or sporadic epoch of prosper
ity so much as upon the gradual
growth of industrial development1
with civic progress keeping pace.
Under this latter system what is de
veloped remains permanent, and sup-'
plies a basis upon which business j
can estimate and labor can plan for
the future. Of the industries de-:
veloped and developing not one may
be said to be threatened with the
smallest element of retrogression,
but on the other hand each year
should see them grow in volume of
output and labor employed.
These conditions make for secur
ity in every line of endeavor in that
the element of speculation is re
moved and the individual may shape
his conduct with a full knowledge
that there can be no disturbing el
ement to thwart his program.
MASS SUNDAY
Ft. Monroe announces that serv
ices will be held in the local Catholic
church tomorrow' morning at 10:30.
followed by Sunday School.
ANCHORAGE STORE ROBBED
The first robbery of its kind in
Anchorage in over a year took place
several evenings ago when F. E
Parkers’ grocery store at 339 Fourth
street was broken into and robbed of
a small amount of cash and a watch
and chain. About 6:20 p m. follow
ing his regular custom Mr. Parker
locked up the store and stepped
next door into the D. D. restaurant
for his dinner. He was completing
the first course when a passing
friend dropped in and said that
some one was in his store. Mr.
Parker immediately rushed into his
establishment and discovered that
the burglar had broken in the glass
in the rear door, unlocked it and en
tered, but had decamped before Mr.
Parker’s hasty return.
Sam Heeter, well known oldtimer
of Tanana. who returned to Nenana
from the States, says Outsiders re
gard the Ku Kluz Klan in much
better light than press dispatches
would have the public believe. He
made it his business to investigate
the activities of the organization,
and found that it is doing a lot
of good throughout the country by
compelling enforcement of the law
in cases where the state and fed
eral authorities have demonstrated
their inability to cope with situations
Regarding the Morehouse kidnapping
case, now under investigation at
Bastrop, Mr. Heeter says it is
a common report in that section
that two bodies found in the lake
were taken from a graveyard, to
make it appear that Daniel and
Richard had been done away with,
to frighten other lawbreakers. The
two men ere driven from the corn
two men were driven from the corn
been seen after the recovery of the
bodies.
NENANA ICE POOL WILL
BE STARTED NEXT WEEK
In response to numerous requests
for tickets, the committee which
had charge of the very successful
ice pool last year has decided to
start the 1923 pool and itickets
j will be ready for distribution with
1 in the next few days. The selection
of a committee and other details
in connection with the annual clas
| sic will be given attention later, the
| only concern of the old committee
' being to get the pool started.
Guessers, of whom there appear
to be more this year '.than usual,
will have about six weeks in which
to mark their (tickets as the pool
probably will continue until the
latter part of April. One of the
features of the pool this year will
, be the presence in Nenana during
] the breakup of a company of mov
ing picture acttors, with the pos
sibility that the awarding of the
pool will have a place in the big
i Alaska feature film.

HORSES ARE CAUGHT IN
QUICKSAND!—SAVED!
The script called for horses to
flounder in dangerous quicksand—
and the quicksands were most unex
pectedly there!
There's a chase scene in “North
of the Rio Grande,” the Jack Holt
Bebe Daniels Paramount picture
which will be shown at the Coli
seum Theatre tomorrow, where Mr.
Holt escapes across a sr.ream when
the men following him are supposed
to be caught by the treacherous
sands.
And the creek picked proved to
have a quicksand bottom. The cow
punchers found they really had to1
get down and work in order to get1
out of the stuff. Therefore it’s not j
a feigned, but a real life struggle I
the camera has caught.
“North of the Rio Grande” as.
directed by Rolin Sturgeon. Will j
M. Ritchey adapted it from “Val of
Paradise” by Vingie E. Roe. The
supporting cast is excellent.
