AND it’s much the same in the buying of mer
chandise. Take Hunt Brothers canned fruit
line for instance. Hunt Brothers, from all can
ners was selected as members of the Rice Mer
chandise Leaders—an acknowledgment of their
business integrity. Their canned fruits are not
lye peeled. All the original flavor of the fruit
is retained. They are put up under the most
sanitary conditions—The cost is, perhaps, a lit
tle more, but the product is well worth it.
Hunt’s fruits may be had in Apricots, Straw

Pears and Loganberries.

LEAGUE SHOW A
GREATSUCCESS
THEATRE IS CROWDED TO DOORS
Excellent Program Provides Enter
tainment—Numbers Given by Lo
cal Talent Were Warmly Applaud
ed—Kilm Feature Is Attraction.
The Empress theatre was taxed to
its' utmost capacity last night when
the greater share of the population
of Valdez gathered there to witness
the excellent program given under
the auspices of the Valdez Civic
League. The first part of the program
consisted of an olio of local talent,
the songs, recitations and musical
numbers were heartily applauded and
the various performers required to
render encores. Miss Rose Johnson
scored a great success with her ren
dition of “Love’s Old Sweet Song,”
accompanying herself on the harp,
while Mrs. J. F. Dunstan's humorous
recitation “And So Was I” kept the
audience*in continual laughter. Miss
Blanche Fogg showed unusual ability
in the illustrated song, "When the
Clouds Roll By, Jennie,” and she was
warmly applauded. The Mandolin
club composed of Mr. Cameron, lead
er, Earl Wathey, Mrs. Pinkus, Wil
lie Dolan, Jack Surrhyne, Mandolins.
Eli Larson, Mrs. Wathey, Mr. and
Mrs. E. W. Hunt, A. H. Pinkus
Guitars. Louie Larson, bass, fur
nished the listeners quite a treat
with their selections, a paraphrase
of “Silver Threads Among the Gold”
and “Aloha Oe.” These pieces were
played in a manner to bring great
credit to the performers as little time
had been offered for practicing. Mr.
Cameron has great expectations of
building up a Mandolin orchestra
here that will be the best to be
found anywhere, as the talent is
present.
The program consisted of the fol
lowing selections:
Big Ben Qverture .Orchestra
Love’s Old Sweet Song, Harp accom
paniment .Miss Rose Johnson
And So Was I, Recitation.
.Mrs. J. F. Dunstan
When the Clouds Roll By Jennie, il
lustrated by.... Miss Blanche Fogg
Silver Threads Among tl\? Gold, and
Aloha Oe .Mandolin Orchestra
The Feature film, St. Elmo, which
is in six parts, came fully up to the
expectations, as the scenes were beau
tiful, the acting perfect, and the
story which was written by Augusta
Evans is well known. The show let
out at a quarter to eleven and every
body went home satisfied.
WAYS OF CIVILIZATION ARE
DEATH TO LAST OF OLD RACE
SAN FRANCISCO: Ishi, last of
the stone age Yahi tribe of Indians,
which once flourished in California,
east of the Secramento river, whose
discovery in 1911 near Oroville, Cal.,
resulted in his adoption by savants
of the University of California as a
valuable anthropological acquisition,
died here today from tuberculosis,
possibly brought on by the interrup
tion of his primitive, outdoor life.
Since shortly after his appearance,
hungry and covered with the skins of
wild animals, in Oroville, Ishi was
maintained as a living exhibit in the
Affiliated Colleges' museum, in San
Francisco, where he kindled fires by
rubbing two sticks together, fashion
ed arrowheads, and exhibited progess
in other primitive exploits for the en
tertainment and instruction of thou
sands of visitors.
Ishi died nameless, for “Ishi” in
the language of his vanished tribe,
means "Man," and was given to him
by scholars who became associated
with him in 1911. He was about 60
years old and had been bedridden for
only a week.
