LAUNCHES PREPARE
FOR KANTISHNA TRIP
The launch Kantishna, owned be
Harry Capp, and another launch,
owned by Jaras Alam, are being
prepared for a trip up the Kan
tishna river.
Alam probably will leave on
Monday with Joe Gilchrist and a
few more men, with full supplies,
etc., for prospecting in that region
all summer.
Capp's launch also is almost
ready, and probably will go up the
Bearpaiv to Glacier with a pros
pecting party and outfit.
Both of these launches probably
will take the mails into that sadly
neglected and poorly served coun
try.

INTERIOR WILL
AMT MANY
The Interior country will receive
many additions to its population
during the course of the summer,
in the opinion of Territorial Rep
resentative E. B. Collins, who spent
a short time in Xenana last eve
ning, on his way back to Fairbanks
from the territorial capital.
Every steamer headed for the
Xorth is crowded with passengers,
declared the lawmaker, and there
is nothing to indicate that the in
flux, which started many weeks ago,
is diminishing. Asked if it was
not true that many of those now
coming North were cannery em
ployees, Mr. Collins said that a
large number of the arrivals would
be engaged in that industry, but
that there were very many more, a
large number of whom will eventu
ally reach the Interior.
“Surprising as it may seem," Mr.
Collins continued, "many of the
men who arrived at Juneau and
other points on the Alaska coast
during the time that I was there,
are flat broke and have come to
Alaska to get on their feet. This
does not fit in well with the stories
of high wages and paucity of labor
in the States, but it nevertheless is
true that most of the men coming
to Alaska now are in search of
work, and those with whom I talked
seemed to be mighty glad that they
had gotten away from the Outside,
with its labor troubles, high living
costs and cramped surroundings.
This feeling was especially notice
able among the oldtimers, of whom
a great many have returned Xorth
during the past two or three
months.”
Mr. Collins is of the opinion that
a lot of the new arrivals will ac
cept such temporary employment
as they may be able to get along
the coast, coming to the Interior
later, after they have earned a few
dollars. He thinks there will be
plenty of men available when ac
tive work is resumed on the gov
ernment railroad.
The coast country does not ap
peal to the legislator. He says he
is glad to get back to Interior
Alaska, where the sun shines and
the wind blows in moderation. The
opening of the fishing season has
stimulated business activities and a
lively “summer is looked for, all
along the coast. But climatic con
ditions are not such as to arouse
enthusiasm in the breast of an
"Insider.”
POLITICS.
“The Republicans are going tc
sweep the country next fall,” de
clared Mr. Collins, when asked re
garding his opinion of the political
outlook. “I declared, in a public
address made by me during my
stay in Juneau, that there was not
a man, woman or child within .he
sound of my voice who would live
to see the Democrats in power
again. And I am of the same
opinion still. The Democrats sim
ply have not got a chance—an in
elegant way of putting it, perhaps,
but I mean just that. The hand
writing is on the wall.
“The downfall' of the Democrats
will come first in the States, fol
lowed by rapid changes in Alaska.
The Democrats had things pretty
much their own way during the
session of the legislature, but it
will not happen again. When the
territorial lawmakers meet two
years hence, Republicans will occu
py most of the seats.”
POPULAR STAGE DRIVER
RETURNS TO INTERIOR
_
Harry Martin, for several years
: driver of the Orr stages on the
Chitna trail, arrived back in the
1 Interior on the Washburn lasf
night. He intends to remain in
the Fairbanks district during the
summer at least.
W hen the Brower stage company
took over the mail contract, Harry,
with several other oldtime stage
men, took the horses to the coast,
and from there went to Seattle.
. Arriving at Seattle, he lost no time
in volunteering his services to his
country. ' On joining the colors he
was sent to Camp Lewis, where
he was attached to the military
[police during the progress of the
war. But as soon as Uncle Sam
! did not need him any more, Harry
jwas making plans to return North,
| and followed up his intention by
i catching the first through boat.
Harry says the Outside is no
{place for a man who has lived
jin Alaska and knows it as he does.
FAMOUS PICTURE
AT COLISEUM ON
SUNDAY NIGHT;
For the show tomorrow nigh*, j
the management of the Coliseum J
has selected “Sister of Six”, in j
which Bessie Love plays in the ;
leading role, a story replete with1
thrilling situations.
The story is founded upon actual j
facts in the early history of Cali- i
fornia, during that peculiar and j
picturesque period when the old |
Spanish families were adjusting
themselves to the new order of
things, after the annexation of
California to the United States.
The real scenes for the play were
laid in the San Fernando valley,
at Sunland, California. A street
is shown in the early Californian
period with saloons, gambling hall
and cabins, where Indians, gamblers,
Chinese and cowboys appear. Ar.
old Western coach which ran from j
Sacramento to San Francisco in ]
I860, is used in one of the scenes;
of the play, driven by a real ex- J
cowboy, Ed Burns.
Battles betwen the Mexicans and !
Americans, episodes of the simple I
ranching days and thrilling scenes i
of actual combat and escape make j
this one of the best pictures of its1
kind ever seen in Xenana.
Miss Lucille Diven will play, as
overture selections, a military march
entitled “Pershing’s Crusaders,” by
E. T. Paul, and the song, “Shadow
Time,” by Charles L. Johnson, the
violin obligato beir^r played by Pro
fessor Berggren, with Mr. Herman
Rosberg assisting with the drums
and traps.
A late Pathe News will precede '
the feature “Sister of Six”, which \
is in five acts. Feature prices will 1
prevail, namely, general admission :
50 cents, and reserved seats 75;
cents.
CLOSING EXERCISES
AT HALL TONIGHT
The closing exercises of the!
Franklin K. Lane school will take
place at 8:30 o’clock tonight at the!
Union Hall, and those who have
not purchased tickets for the func
tion will be able to do so at the
box office at the hall.
A very interesting program, the
details of which were published in
the News yesterday, will be rend- j
ered by the pupils, and those who!
have seen the children in action!
will realize that there is a treat
in store for them.
The admission price is fixed at
fifty cents a ticket, the money
obtained to go toward the fitting
out of a library for the school, and
it is hoped that the citizens who j
have the welfare of the children |
at heart will support this worthy |
cause. j
Dance to Follow
At the conclusion of the school
performance, and as soon as the
hall can be cleared for the purpose,
the dance given by the Xenana
Dancing academy, under the direc
tion of Mrs. Belle Campbell, will
be held.
