The entertainment at the Liberty
theatre last evening as presented by
Charles W. Hamley, world’s champion
memory expert, who is on a vacation
trip, and incidentally holding classes
in some of file towns visited, as
tounded his audience with the memo
ry feats performed. At the conclusion
of the program the audience filed out
of the theatre amid a buzz of con
versation asking each other how it
was done. “I don’t see how he or any
one can do it, etc.” The mental
stunts w'ere brilliant and today Mr.
Hamley will be undoubtedly be looked
upon by some as "being gifted with
powrers extraordinary. This is not so,
Mr. Hamley stated to his audience,
for after four lessons he guarantees
to turn out each student 100 per cent
perfect and each will in turn be able
to provide the same entertainment j
which he demonstrated last evening.1
A packed house greeted the enter

of Mr. Hannon, wielding a piece of
chalk on a blackboard. Having me
morized the calendar for a period of
900 years, Mr. Hamley answered many
questions in this respect. He recited
from memory a series of digits which
were selected at random, and ran the
full distance across a six foot black
board, backwards and forwards. The
same was done with reference to a
list of thirty names. He played men
tally the “knight’s tour” on a chess
board, starting from a given number
named by the audience, directing Mr.
Hannon’s chalk marks about the board
without once returning to the same
numbered square and winding up cor
rectly at the starting point. Just
prior to the conclusion of the per
formance Mr. Hamley again recited
backwards and forwards the numer
als and names, and as there were a
number of touruists in the audience
who came north on the Yukon last
week at which time a program wras
put on, Mr. Hamley correctly recited
the tests demonstrated on the vessel.
Mr. Hamley is remaining in Seward
all week and during his stay here is
putting through a good sized class.
The lessons will be from one to one
and a half hours each in length and
will start this evening at 7 p. m. at
the Methodist church.

Many Men for Various
Camps In this District
The Belmont lodging house in Sew
ard owned by Joe Hofman is rapidly
becoming recognized as a port of ha
ven for men seeking work. It has
become a habit for the Alaska head
quarters at Anchorage, the Alaska
Road Commission, and the Bureau of
Public Roads when wanting men to
let their wants be known to the pro
prietor of the popular lodging house
and he generally secures the desired
number of men.
The most recent and the largest
number of men wanted, to be posted
on his blackboard this year, came in
Saturday. The railroad wanted six
men for the north division; three
cooks and a section hand for Mile 40.
The Alaska Road Commission wanted
20 men for road work at Valdez, and
several men were wanted for miscel
laneous jobs. It is stated the greater
number of men have already been
furnished and sent on their respective
ways.
REELROMANCEIS
BASED ON FACTS
“SUNDOWN,” A NEW WESTERN
THRILL DRAMA, SHOWS 100,
000 CATTLE IN SCENES
The passing of the Old West, the
cattle barons, and the tremendous
herds of cattle which roamed the
plains, has been immortalized in
“Sundown” to be shown at the Lib
erty Theatre this evening and tomor
row night.
The news feature of the announce
ment is that the picture will be fact
rather than fiction. The big scenes
in the photoplay were taken during
the movement of the largest herd of
cattle in the history of the West.
This tremendous movement of cat
tle began as First National cameras
ground. The cattle, more than 100,000
converged from the north rim of the
Grand Canyon, from Flagstaff, Ariz.,
Columbus, N. M„ and Texas, and were
driven south to Mexico.
A battery of ten cameramen rode
with the cowpunchers.
The movement of the cattle was
made necessary by the encroachment
of the smaller farmer—the “nester”
in the vernacular of the cattlemen—
whose small farms and holdings year
by year are slowly driving the big
range into comparatively small spots.
This epic of today, the passing of
the big herds, with adventure and
romance, is the theme of “Sundown”
for which scenes of the big cattle
run were taken as a historical back
ground for the romantic love story
told by the stellar cast of which Her
bert Bosworth. Bessie Love, Roy
Stewart, Charlie Murray, Arthur Hoyt,
Charles Sellon, Charles B. Crockett,
Bernard Randall, Wilfred North, Hal
Wilson and Jere Austin were mem
bers.
