MEETS DEATH AT
COOK INLET CITY
FORMER RESIDENT SEWARD IS
ACCIDENTALLY KILLED AT
SELDOVI A, REPORT.
William Lowell, half-brother to
Mrs. Andy Simons, of Mile 20, was
accidentally killed this morning at
Seldovia, according to a telegram re
ceived at noon today, from “Shorty”
Beach, son-in-law of the dead man.
Mrs. Simons left Seward a number
of weeks ago for the Anchorage hos
pital where news was forwarded to
day of the death of her brother. No
details were received of the acciden
tal death, but according to the wire
additional details ase being forwarded

William Lowell, was quite well
known in this city, and for the last
several years has been making his
home in the Cook Inlet country. It

met his death in Lake Kenai some
years ago.
Further news relating to William
Lowell was received just prior to go

their own home at Seldovia
From Seward, the father of the

NEILAN’S TESS
BRINGS FAMOUS
NOVEL TO FILMS
iimiiimmmiic
THOMAS HARDY’S WORLD-LOVED
STORY AT LAST REACHES
THE SILVER SCREEN.
Blanche Sweet Takes Lead
Featured Player Does Greatest Work
Of Her Entire Career. In
' Title Role.
Marshall Neilan’s filming of Thos.
Hardy’s “Tess of the D’Urbervilles,”
which comes to the Liberty Theater
tonight, brings to the screen one of
the outstanding novels of all time.
Neilan has transferred this tale to
•the screen as the author wrote it.
He has retained all the power, all
the appeal, all the beauty of the
original. The young directoh who
has so many film successes to his
credit, has invested the dramatic
progress of the atory with a pic
torial beauty that adds to its in
terest, and the development of the
plot is done in scenes that gratify
the eye as well as grip «the mind.
Another advantage “Tess of the
D’Urbervilles” has, is that the ex
terior scenes were photographed in
authentic locations. Neilan made
the rural episodes in the Hardy
Wessex country in England, which
enforces the drama by having the
absolutely correct atmosphere.
The only change from the orig
inal Neilan made has been ,to ad
vance the time to the present day,*
which makes the story far more
interesting for present day con
sumption. The director considers
“Tess of the D’Urbervilles” £o be
a story fitting all time and con
sequently feels this is not, taking
a liberty.
“Tess of the D’Urbervilles” tells
a story of a country maiden in
Wessex who falls victim to the
brutality and passion of a wealthy
and unscrupulous young man.
Later, Tess meets and marries the

ELLISBALLCHILI
MILLS FIND SALE
MINE OWNERS
IDEAL MILL FOR SMALL MINING
OPERATOR WHO DESIRES TO
DEVELOP PROPERTY
The Alaskan agency of the Ellis
Ball Chili Mill announce that they in
tend to erect buildings capable of
housing three mills of the Indepen
dence Type complete, also two mills
of the Type B-l or the Banker, and
the local company will also carry extra
parts on hand at all times, so owners
of Ellis Ball Chili Mills in Alaska
can be supplied from Seward in place
of San Francisco, thereby eliminating
the loss of time in waiting for orders
and extras.
The local company will carry Ellis
electric amalgamators and cyanide
plants and the Ellis automatic grip £
sheave for rope powoer transmission,
and the Ellis air ways.
The local agency announces that it
is the desire of the agency to serve
its patrons as sufficiently as possible
and since so many of these mills have
been erected around Seward and in
Alaska, the company and the agency
have come to the conclusion that a
large supply of parts and supplies
will be carried at Seward.
