NORTHWESTERN IN
THIS MORNING
The steamer Northwestern
of the Alaska Steamship com
pany’s fleet, arrived up from
the Sound at three o’clock this
morning. Her passengers for
Ketchikan were Mrs. George
Morrison and little son, Stella
Roberts, M. A. Bussanich, J. B.
Lockward, Mrs. Stachel and
Maud Webber.. She left 55
tons of miscellaneous freight
for local people.
While the Mariposa was in
harbor the other evening her
wireless operator was in receipt
.of a message direct from Ju
neau, the first ever received
here direct from that station.
Operator Boots, formerly sta
tioned here, has been at work
on the plant at Juneau, remod
eling same, and the incensed
efficiency of the plant there
is the result. The message re
ceived was addressed to Glen
Bartlett of the Revilla, arid con
veyed the regards of Mr. Boots
to his many Ketchikan acquaint
frees. This is another demon
Oration of what the Marconi
company will he able to tin in
the way of handling commer
cial business as soon as they
get the new high power plant
erected and in operation here.

THE FIRST GLASS
A great deal of trouble, pain
and suffering is developed by
that induugence. It is the title
of one of the most powerful
tilm dramas that we have ever
run and is ably enacted by
those capable players, Glen
White and Florence Barker.
No one should miss this excel
lent film. “A Dry Town,” is the
title of one of the funniest
comedies that we have ever
run. It i< all that the name im
plies and is so funny that you
are bound to laugh. Tomor
row night we will show in ad
dition to our big show the two
reel feature “Undine”. This
feature is the one that caused
so much favorable comment
and we reordered it at the re
quest of people who had not
seen it. There will be no in
crease in the price of admis
sion at the Grand for this added
feature. adv.
