FORMER N. Y. GOVERNOR *
GUEST OF DOUGHERTY’S
Former Governor Wm. Sulzer was
the guest last evening at dinner o
Mr. and Mrs. Dougherty. After
wards they attended the movie, and
saw “The Lure of the Yukon,” a pic
ture filmed in the North. It is our
bet that Sulzer and Dougherty—old
Yukoners, could have staged a better
show. “The Lure of the Yukon” is
not as alluring as Dawson staged.
