pictures. “The Eternal Frontier” will
be the first, and as soon as this pic
ture is completed, work on the next
one, “Seward’s •Folly,” will be under

* the nature of an historical picture,
dealing with the days when the U.

Russia.
Mr. Lewis is something of a sour
dough himself, having entered the !
Yukon basin and mushed to the
Arctic shore, as a boy, in 1885. He
was concerned in the production of
the great Alaska picture, “The Che
chakos.” Mr. Coi’lew is a former

“EVIDENCE”—ALL “HAPPY”

ive inmates of the city jail in the
house of the “stilly night” bent a
corner of the sheet iron plates which
formed a part of the partition be
tween their cell and another cell
which is used as the receivable for
“liquid evidence,” and fished out
seven bottles of bottled-in-bond evi
* dence, one each, and each man imbib
ed the entire quart. Next morning
the jailer found them lying on the
floor of the cell dead to the world,
the seven pathetic empties mute
witnesses as to the cause of the pri
soners’ woes. The names of the
bibulous seven are W. Forkey, Pat
Tobin, Bill Larkin, J. J. Rohr, J. Mur
ray, Warren Evans and E. D. Bar

Great Euture
For Aviation
NENANA, Alaska, Oct. 7 —Aviator
Noel Wien is u very young man.
Very agreeable and \tn, fond of the
airplane with its powerful 150-horse
power motor. Mr. Wien has travel
ed over 4,000 mi'es in this plane
since June. While in Anchorage in
June and early July, he took some
150 people for short trips in the air,
and since arriving in Fairbanks twen
ty-two trips have been made to Liv
engood; other trips were to Eagle,
Circle, Hot Springs, Chena Hot

BROOKHART’S PAST STATEMENTS
UPHELD IN WHEELER'S CAMPAIGN
SPEECH DELIVERED TACOMA, WN.
TACOMA, Wash., Oct. 7.—Senator Wheeler, Third
Party nominee for vice presidential honors in the coming
election, in an address here yesterday afternoon said that
“General Dawes is the head of a large bank in Chicago,
and that some years ago, William Lorimer, who had been
thrown out of the United States senate because of the
urrupt manner in which he was elected, also organized a
bank in the same city. This wns a National bank, and
wTas about to fail, and Lorimer developed a very clever
| idea of changing it into a State Bank; and, to get a State
| charter, he was required to show the state auditor $1,
250,000 in cash. He didn’t have the cash, so what he did
was to get Chas. Dawes, the man running for vice presi
dent on the Republican ticket, to exhibit to the auditor
$1,250,000 which was to be “taken” out of the Dawes bank
for the time and to lead the state auditor to believe it be
I longed to Lorimer’s bank. I am not making these state
| ments wildly, as they are based on records in the courts
! of Illinois. On the very day that Chas. Dawes was chosen
as Coolidge’s running mate, the Supreme Court of Illi
nois handed down a final decree, requiring Dawes to pay
more than $100,000 for having misrepresented the condi
tion of Lorimer’s bank to the state’s auditor.”
Coolid&e and Work Have Secret Contract
SEATTLE, Oct. 7.—Vice Presidential Nominee W. A.
! Wheeler charged that President Coolidge and Secretary
! the Interior Work entered into a secret contract with
the Morgan and Guggenheim interests to betray the tax
payers in turning the Alaska Railroad over into private
ownership. Senator Wheeler in his speech added that
he has asked for an immediate investigation into the en
tire affair. ^

\\ ork Orders Immediate Search of Records
W ASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 7.—Secretary Hubert
Work of the Interior department of the United States,
upon advice of Senator Wheeler’s charge made in Seat
tle, ordered an immediate search into the Interior ‘de
partment’s records for the alleged contract.
Wrheeler Says Party Deserted Him
PUYALLUP, Wash., Oct. 7.—Denying that he had
deserted the Democratic party ,but that his party had de
I serted him and the common people, with and for "horn
he had fought all his life, Senator Wheeler late this af
ternoon brought cheers from an audience at the Puyallup
Fair grounds, which estimated an aggregate congregation
of 20,000 people of all classes and walk in life.
After discussing the platforms and the candidates of
of both the Republican and the Democratic parties at
present, he said that they were identical in that
they misrepresented their interests in not allowing the
people to know of the corruption in wealth in conjunction
with corrupt politicians which l ave Lad the parties. The
speaker characterized them as he ‘‘Gold Dust Twins,”
and added that “the real issue in the forthcoming cam
paign is not ‘common sense’ expressed by Coolidge, nor
is it the ‘common honesty’ as claimed by Davis; it is
whether or not we are to establish in these United States
an economic and industrial freedom now, just as our fore
fathers established political freedom in the great contest
of 1776.
Republicans Fear Sen. Brookhart.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 7.—The Republican lead
ers have taken steps which they hope will placate Senator
Smith Brookhart to the extent that it will prevent him
from openly going over to the SaFollette ticket. They
take the position that if Brookhart is driven out of the
Republican party at this time he will carry enough votes
to insure Iowa casting its electoral votes for the LaFol
lette Wheeler ticket.
