WILLIAM MERRILL ABBOTT
The death last Sunday of William Merrill Abbott at
Tacoma takes from Alaska a splendid young citizen res
pected by all who knew him.
“Bill” was a “regular fellow” in every sense that the
phrase implies; kind, generous and thoughtful, “Bill” will
especially be missed by his co-workers in the Seward dock
office of the Alaska Railroad where he served faithfully
and well for many years. His passing is a distinct loss to
the community because of his sincere interest in civic mat
ters of which he was an important part. Quiet and unas
suming, William Merrell Abbott will live long in the mem
ory of his friends who wTere legion.
A new wave of buying is reported in Wall Street.
Another breaker, as it were.
The gold activity reminds us that the nation is being
remin-ed of the root of all evil.
Now if the bull market will only drive the bare from
the cupboard.
Herr Max will take on Mickey Walker for a match.
Which reminds us that the Sharkey decision is still
“Smelling.”

Irons and woods worked per
fectly Thurday afternoon on the
Seward Golf Club course for H. S.
Balderston with the result that he
broke the two-year standing course
record of 37 bringing in the phe
nominally low score of 36; one lone
stroke above the course par of 35.
By his brilliant game Mr. Bald
erston is now the proud wearer of
Seward’s golfing champion as
well as holder of the course record
And it is saf eto assume it will be
many years before his feat will be
equaled when it is considered an
excellent score for the nine-holes
by the best of local players aver
ages 42. With the natural handi
caps it has always been estimated
that it is almost a physical impos
sibility to make a par, yet the new
champion came within one stroke
of accomplishing the feat.
Two birdies evened up his par
on two greens where one above par
on each was required to sink his
put. Long, beautiful drives and as
straight as an arrow, with accur
ate approaches and putting, his
game was a professional perfor

For the first time we have a production in picture and talk of
of a work of the great
THEODORE DREISER
one of Ihe world's greatest present-day writers. This is entitled
AN AMERICAN TRAGEDY
A play showing in stark realism the history of a youth ordinary
at the beginning, but whose ending was very unordinary. It is a
perfect picture of what might' happen to any weak character who
was without moral values. Raised in a mission, he has a few
years of life and then pays.
NOT A GANG OR CRIMINAL PICTURE
Never before has so strong a part, or this ending, been shown
here. A powerful play directed 'by that master
JOSEPH VON STERNBERG
All the actors give wonderful portrayals of their parts. The boy
and girl characters are played by
