FAR1 BANKS PKOPLK
PI'LL TOGETHER.
O. M. Vincent of Fairbanks who is
waiting for the Kvans to return says
that the little old town of Fairbanks
is some place. Every person in the
town is pulling for the successful fu
ture of the inland metropolis. During
the past summer business has been ex
cellent in all lines and the outlook for
next season is bright and promising.
The gradual opening up of the Mt. Mc
Kinley country and the Kuskokwim Is
having its effect upon Fairb^Vks. The
new bonus on gold which seems as
sured will act as a stimulus on the
many placer and quartz miners in the
Territory who are now otherwise en
gaged. Mr. Vincent who has been em
ployed by the N. C. Company, reports
that this old time company has made
all plans for closing every one of their
trailing posts and stores in Alaska
and the Yukon Territory not later than
June 1st 1921. The passing of this
company which has been instrumental
in building up many sections of the
Territory is to be regretted but with
the building of roads and trails all ov
er Alaska, competition has increased
and the younger generation which con
trols the Stock of the company feels
that the assets of the company can be
invested to better advantage in other
ventures. Mr. Vincent will return In
the Spring.
ALUMINUM, AUTOMOBILES .AND
ARKANSAS.
In these days, when the number of
automobiles parked by laborers around
apartment houses in course of con
struction is greater than the number
that many be owned by the occupants
of the finished apartments and when
streetcar companies see their revenue
i decreasing because so many people
have their own conveyances, the de
mand for aluminum greatly exceeds
that of a few yeais ago, when auto
mobiles were less common. The bodies,
engines, and other parts of some au
tomobiles are made of aluminum to
* reduce their weight, and this use and
the other uses of aluminum in the
form of castings and drawn and press
ed ware has necessitated the enlarge
ment of several aluminum-making
plants and the construction of new
ones during the last few years. The in
creasing use of aluminum foil has al
so necessitated an increase in pro
ducing capacity. ,
000, was mined in Arkansas.
A report on bauvite and aluminum
in 1919, by James M. Hill, published,
can be obtained free on application to

ELLIS VAUDEVILLE TROUPE
j PROMISES DEUGHFUL
j ENTERTAINMENT SUNDAY
I NIGHT AT THE A. B. HALL.
i
Word has been received from the
j Ellis Vaudeville Troupe from Anchor
j age that they will play a return en
1 gagement in Seward at the A. B. Hall
: next Sunday night. The stage settings
| and decorations will be planned by the
: women of Seward and the show which
consists of an entirely new program
will be a really worth while. The Ellis
players are entirely satisfactory and
it is to be sincerely hoped that more
such organizations will see fit tp jour
i ney this way to help break the monot
ony of the local threatre attractions.
Movie shows are really wonderful
things but we all grow tired of the
silent characters who act night after
night and some good singing and nov
elty amusement by artists who know
how to sing and amuse will be appre
ciated Sixteen complete acts full of
life sind good music will enable us all
to enjoy every minute of the perfor
mance. It is t<rbe hoped that the sup
port which this company deserves will
b? given. Barbara Bronell in the Ani
mated Doll, Perquita Courtney as the
Hoola Hoola dancer and the clever
character skit Cuba are three of six
teen numbers that will make up the
program. •
NRW YORK, Oct., 29— Chairman
Hays of the Republican national com
mittee in a public statement made to
day declared that the official Repub
lican survey of the result of the com
ing election indicated that Senator
Harding would receive the lar gest po
pular majority ever cast for a presi
dential candidate. Thirty two states
are sure to return a Republican ma
jority and seven more will most pro
bably enter the sure column on Tues
day. The Democrats can only claim
uine states as almost certain to return
a majority for Cox. The Republican
electorial votes will be three hundred
and sixty eight or better for there is
an even chance for twenty four more
and probably an additional twenty
five. I have complete 100 per cent
facts that a Republican victory is as
sured because the American people
have confidence in the party and are
possessed of 100 per cent common
sense.

WOMAN A REAL HUNTER
A party consisting of Mr. and Mrs.
E. C. Jatk of Hanscom, Alaska and
Guide Howard Long returned to Sew
ard recently after spending a week In
the Kenai Lake district. The weather
during the {jme the party was out was
ideal for an outing and hunting trip
and notwithstanding the fact that the
moose are roaming in the high country
Mrs. Jack succeeded in getting a fine
specimen. She is an expert shot and a !
sincere lover of the Big Out Doors and
i
understanding camp life from soup to j
nuts. It is no trouble for her to climb
the highest hills and she can endure
all the hardships attached to the usual
hunting trip as well as Mr. Jack. She
knocked over the moose she secured at
a distance of 150 yards when it was
possible to have approached much
closer. Mr. and Mrs. Jack having hunt
ed in the same section during the sea
son of 1917 with Guide Long and de
cided that*they would return this sea
son and spend their annual vacation
with the man who was familiar with
the country. They are planning on* a
trip to the Alaska Peninsula sometime
in the rt&ar future in quest of the big
brown bear and it is a safe bet that
they will secure the limit if they elect
to take Long along. .
