to view the new wall decorations on
view here exclusively. They are so
unconventional, so out of the common
and so unusually artistically attrac

should by all means see these new

is apt to result in regret later.

Plans for the tour are being worked
out on a most elaborate and spectacu
lar scale, promising a succession of
most interesting features and educa
tional events.
The Alaska bureau party will leave
Seattle July 7, at 2 p. m., on board the

*
ery.
To Prepare Exhibit.
Secretary McPherson on Saturday
said that along the lines suggested by
the Alaska bureau for the forthcom
ing trip that Fairbanks expects to
have a good exhibition prepared and
to give an elaborate show, but as yet
none of the plans have been worked
out; that Juneau is the first to get
in line for the exhibition and according
to recent advices from the territorial
capital there is much activity there
now in the way of preparation.
“In Juneau,” said McPherson, “the
Arctic Brotherhood is in charge of the
celebration and is already raising •
money with which to defray the ex-1
penses. Exhibits are being collected :
frontal I parts of Southeastern Alaska
and from other parts of the territory,
while in Fairbanks the Commercial j
club will be in charge of the show.”
Mr. McPherson said that when the i
tourists arrive in the interior the rail-1
road work will be in full swing, the
mining season will be at its height and
crops will be growing luxuriantly and
that it will simply be a matter of as
sembling the products and preparing
such other entertainment as is deemed :
advisable.
Mineral hxhibil. *
“In Juneau the mineral exhibit will
be in the Arctic Brotherhood hall,” he
said. “Music will be furnished there]
every evening by an orchestra and in
| formal dances will be held nightly,
i The transportation companies are ar
ranging to have the steamships make
| long stopovers there in order that Vis
! itors may see all the sights in a com
1 prehensive way.
“Fairbanks will, by the middle of
j the summer, have a most excellent
| band, which will be able to furnish
j good music for all occasions. Within
! the next few weeks the club will start
working out its plans for the big af
fair and at that time will be glad to
get suggestions from any one as to
features for the celebration.
, “All the transportation companies,”
Mr. McPherson concluded, “have been
doing extensive advertising during the
winter, urging tourists to spend their
time in the North instead of taking
perilous journeys across the oceans,
and there is no question that there will
be the greatest crowd of trevelers ever
seen in the North on a sight-seeing
trip.”

The artiste beautiful, Hazel Dawn,

called, made her debut in motion pic
tures in “One of Our Girls,” in which

sorrow—at the hands of contempor
ary’ mortals.
As the incarnated statue that raises
havoc with the insurance company

numerous and unequalled opportuni
ties for the display of the captivating
powers that made “One of Our Girls”
such a bewitching characterization.
