?f you miss seeing Tile Oheechako
at Tiie Liberty tonight, you will miss
one oi me best pictures shown here
io ra long while The scenery is be
yout. description and the plot is good
—tar better than most oi the movies
that are shown here. The only fault
to be tound is that it passed uj Sew
ard in its piologue, showing Anchor
age and Cordova with their streets
thronged with people, while the view
of Seward is taken from the hil'top
to the west of the city, giving the
wharf and only a portion oi the town.
But with that, the picture is a good
■one; far better than the average and
ranks up with Robin Hood and some
of the best sellers in interest and ac
tion.
Let us ail get in and make 1924 the
"best year for Seward the town ‘ha
yet experienced.
Delegate Sutherland has asaed Con
gress to give us a lighthouse at the
entrance to Harding Passage for a
New Year’s present. Wlvle it will do
others more good than it wilt u- it is
thankfully appreciated nevertheless.
The old biblical injunction that
‘•Fools walk in slippery places.” may
also applv to wise men. if they walk
at all, as our silver thaw is on hand,
with iced sidewalks and roadwrays.

BRITISH DRUGS IMPURE
AND INACCURATE, CLAIM
LONDON, Jan. 2.—That one pre
scription in every five made up by
stores in England is inaccurate is the
charge made by the Ministry of Health
analysis experts in their annual rep
port just issued.
“Of the 429 prescriptions analyzed
96. or about one in five, were found to
be inaccurate, as compared with 29 out
of 178 in 1921,’ ’says the report.
Coupled with this statement of
the apparent carelessness of the Eng
lish drug store clerk is the disquiet
ing information to the Britisher that
the percentage of adulteration of drugs
increased from 6.7 per cent to 7. 3 per
cent during 1922. Adverse reports
were made on 423 samples out of 5,
863 samples taken.

“The Cheechakos”
Made by Alaskans, jj^y Theatre
in Alaska 1
I
^his is a picture timed by the
Alaska Motion Pictures Corporation
la^o Sring and Summmer. The
scenes taken are well known places
from Mt. McKinley down this way—
over to Cordova—and up to the Miles
and Childs Glaciers. Many well
mown Alaskans are seen in the play.
This is the first and only real Al
aska feature produced entirely on the
ground, and consequently should be
seen by everyone within reach of the
theatre.
We will not delay for late-comers
so get there early to avoid the rush
at the last minute.

In a recent telegram received in
Seward from Ruby de Graff, secre
tary for Capt. A. E Lathrop, pres
ident of the Alaska Motion Pictures
Corporation Miss de Graff said
that “The Cheechakos” drew the
crowds away from first run pict
ures by Colleen Bawn, Mary Pick
ford and Charlie Chaplin, large
audiences greeting the pictures
nightly. So large were the audi
ences that the pictures were leas
ed for another week, at a better
rate than previously given the
producers. Wherever “The Chee
chakos” has been shown it has
