AT THE EMPRESS.
Tomorrow night the Empress the
atre will present William Farnum’s
great comedy drama, “The Gilded
Fool,” as played by Nat Goodwin,
in six reels of intense interest.
A powerfully appealing dramatic
photoplay.
A compelling combination of love,
high finance, and the life of the “Gay
White Way.”
The plot deals with the progress of
young Cbauncey Short, a typical
"Gilded Fool,” who spends his nights
in idleness and frivolity.
How he meets the only girl and
through love of her is aroused to a
realization of his many shortcomings,
is a story that strikes home to the
hardest heart.
The climax comes when, after a
fiercely four battle of finance, the
erstwhile "Gilded Poor’ thwarts the
contrivings of a thieving rascal and
saves his fiancee’s father from ruin.
'William Farnum plays the title
role, with Maude Gilbert leading wo
man. The company includes Marga
ret Vale a niece of President Wilson,
Harry Spingler and many other play
ers of ability.
One show, in six reels, at the Em
press Theatre, Thursday, Friday and
Saturday. ,

western report that Capt. Vic West

the arrival of the Alaska and pilot
her to King Cove. The Alaska-!

CAPT. JENSEN SAYS
TRAVEL NORTH IS HEAVY
Capt. Jensen, the old-time master
of the steamship Admiral Watson,
known to every man, woman and
child on the coast, stated to a repre
sentative of the Prospector last night
that travel north was unusually heav
vy for this time of year, and that it
taxed the capacity of the boat this
trip to care for the unusually large
number of passengers desiring to
come to Alaska. He states that the
steerage was filled to overflowing and
passengers turned away, and that ev
ery first-cabin berth was taken two
days before the steamer sailed.
Capt. Jensen stated that while Cook
Inlet is now free of ice, that naviga
tion would be unsafe owing to the
anchor ice, or ice frozen in the bot
tom of the Inlet, not having come to
the surface yet, and that his vessel
would probably enter the inlet some
time the second week in April the
first trip this year.

wharf, Mrs. E. Bjorn, of the Cliff
mine, bad the misfortune to lose a
very valuable gold watch. It was

wharfinger, who turned it over to the
Prospector. Monday Mrs. Bjorn call
ed and received her watch. The Pros
pector Is pleased to act as a medium
for the return of lost or found arti
cles. and more than pleased to be of
service to Mrs. Bjorn, as her watch
was an extremely valuable one and
prized as a keepsake. ■ •» ;
