SIDNEY LAURENCE—ALASKAN ARTIST
In a recent issue of Harper’s Bazarr we saw with
much appreciation where the Northern Pacific Railway
had a full-page advertisement titled “Lure of Alaska.
That kind of publicity for this poor old country so rich
in natural resources and wealth, is great; but we were
particularly and forcibly struck by the accompany mg
illustration by that famous master an Alaskan at that
Sidney Laurence. It was a new painting on us, one
which heretofor had missed. Backed by glistening
golden hills, with a cabin, falling in decay, in the foot
hills, a magnificent totem pole soars. At its base kneels
an Alaska Indian worshipping before a pyre.
What stories a picture of this sort brings to the
imagination but greatest of all is the amazement at the
talent displayed by the artist who, with what appears
to be but a few simple strokes of a brush, biings
forth a masterpiece. _

where the new S. S. Aleutian cost
SI.000,000.000 to recondition.” tel
ephoned in 12,000 subscribers last

lousy millions between friends?

For want of a better name at ;
the present writing, M. E. Hol
ben's new business enterprise in
the former location of the Union
Grill, will be known until the j
most appropriated name has been
selected from the hundreds sub
mitted in the contest now under- j
way, as The Electric Bakery. And
it will open for business Monday
morning, Mr. Holben stated today.
“The very best of bakery goods
will be served,” Mr. Holben said,
“and one special meat order will j
be served daily. The prices will be
very attractive. In one of the
large display windows I am plac
ing electric waffle and doughnut
irons; the other window will be I
for the display of our breads and j
! pastries. One of our features will i
be catering to parties and cakes |
, for such purposes, and weddings, ,
| will be made on short notice.
“Ample tables arc provided in
the dining room, as well as a large
lunch-counter; the bakery, and
, kitchen, as well as the pantry
and store-rooms, have been re
modeled with the view of giving
the quickest service possible to
our patrons. Everything has been
repainted and is as spick and span
as any house-wife could desire.”
The modern electric range, the
first of its kind in this part of
Alaska, anyway, is installed and in j
a test yesterday, functioned per- j
fectly.
The staff, as far as has been se- j
lected up to today, will comprise j
Mrs. Hitchcock, pastry baker for i
three years at Bolte’s, Seattle;
George Saxton, chief baker; Wil
man McCormack and Alva Peter
son. waitresses.
A certain section of the Rich
ardson Highway is going to catch
heck in a few days by reason of
the fact the Alaska Road Com
mission forces are gathering for
the summer’s campaign. Yester
day Bill McLean drifted into towm
from Fairbanks heading toward
Chitina where he wall be charge
of a crew working in that area.
With Bill came Jack Wells, one of
Alaka’s famed chef d’ oeur vre’s,
who will take care of the inner
man. Julius Miller, another fam
ous Alaskan kitchen generalissimo
will be along in a few days enroute
to Valdez to join a crew.
Chas. L. Kemp, well known An
chorage resident, came into town
last evening.
The S. S. Tanana, of the A. S.
S. Co., is enroute to the Port of
Seward with a heavy cargo con
sisting of ties, autos, trucks and
tractors.
