Seward was treater! to a sequel after
tl^e very fine entertainment given at
the local theatre last evening in the
person of one of the efficient staff
of the local teachers who seem -deter- j
mined to leave their mark on the city.
The leading part wate played by the |
driver of the car which attempted to |
carry off the solid traffic policeman j
at the corner of Jefferson and Fourth j
Avtmues. But she was ably assisted
by tne members that were accompany
j ing her. The act was witnessed by a
large part of the after-theatre crowd
from which issued two young men, j
one from the Signal Corps and the |
other a survey officer, to the rescue .
of the stranded young ladies. No dam
age was done or any injury sustained
1 by any of the group and it will simply
be remembered as an amusing inci
dent.
The only explanation as yet brought
forth is that the young ladies were
still under the spell woven by the
violin of the talented Vilma Bazant,
and as such it can be considered quite
a compliment to thq accomplished art
ist who furnished such a treat.
While passing along the trail in
the Cache creek district several days
ago, the horse carrying Frank P.
Barr, mail carrier, stumbled and roll
ed over and enbankment, carrying
his rider with him, with the resut
that Barr is now in the Anchorage
hospital, suffering from numerous
painful bruises. He w'as accompa
nied to town by his little daughter.

Planted before even the Russians
! occupied Alaska, serving as the
|“family tree” to some native family,
a big totem pole 40 feet long is to be
shipped to Juneau, a sacrifice to
commercialism. It came from Hyda
burg and is consigned to a private
firm which handles curios an I will
use it for advertising purposes. The
big cedar tree on wrhich the ca** 'ings
were made shows the weather marks,
with mess and rain ridges and rot
ten wood in places on the outside,
but the inside, wrhere the timber was
sawed of at the butt, is as solid as
ever.
