MEMBERS OK CHAMBER
MEET AND TALK THINGS
OVER AT MINT GRILL
The Anchorage Chamber of _ Com
merce has shed and is now in a chrys
alis state and on the right road to
-soon become a real live thing that
breathes and moves, initiates and ac
complishes. Last night’s informal
gathering at the Mint Grill was a wise
move that actually proved the incen
tive for other impromptu suggestions
that will all tend to make the chamber
an important organization and one to
be reckoned with at all times and for
all things towards the upbuilding and
advancement of Anchorage and vicin
ity.
About twenty members were pres
ent and the entire body took part in
the proceedings; it was not left to one
or two willing work horses. Commit
tees were appointed to attend to the
welcoming the Alameda in
a proper manner. Other vital ques
tions were discussed and a line of ac
tion for the summer campaign gone
into thoroughly, always with the idea
of increasing the membership.
The /eek-day luncheon met with
approval and will be inaugurated next
Tuesday at the Mint. Luncheon, to
order, will be served from 12:30 to
1:30 to members and their friends.
The affair will be a combination of
business and pleasure and it is the
idea of the chamber to continue the
movement indefinitely. He a booster
and an optimist; get in the band
wagon and take an active part in the
campaign to build up Anchorage.
Hob Williams, one of Billy Martin’s

eral days before continuing his jour
ney to the Tolstoi country where he

on Boob creek.
Robert Murray, a private patient at
the government hospital, attempted
suicide this morning by cutting his
throat with a pocket knife. The self
inflicted wound is painful but not
necessarily dangerous, as he failed to
reach an artery. Murray came to the
hospital several days ago and has
spent the winter in the hills. He was
in an extremely weakened condition
and it is thought that brooding over
the fact caused him to make an at
tempt on his life.
The tenants of the Lathrop apart
ments celebrated by giving a house
warming in the. Anchor Club rooms

fairs semi-monthly at which time each
one is supposed to return what they

thanks together with a material re
membrance was handed to the son of:
the cherry blossom country in appreci- j
ation of his stoker abilities.

portunity to be in Anchorage on the
momentous occasion of the arrival of
the first steamer and be able to say to
the wiseacres at Seward that “I told
you so.” Mr. Cotter has always been
a supporter of the Anchorage harbor
and is of the opinion that boats could
have entered the local harbor the
greater part of the winter. He shy's
that George Cotter is slowly recover
ing from his painful and serious ex

SOCIAL CABARET ON
TOMORROW NIGHT AND
GREAT TIME ANTICIPATED
In the effete east, the name of Maud
Adams on the bill boards insures a
packed house; other celebrities and
artists in proportion. Christy Mat
thewson anil Ty Cobb fill the bleachers
and grandstands and so on down the
line. These primas and stars all live
and perform in other countries and
make it their livelihood. But there is
much talent hiding their accomplish
ments behind modesty, who occasion
ally are prevailed upon to appear on
local stages, always in support of
worthy causes. Unsung and unherald
ed possibly outside of home admirers
Anchorage has a plethora of talent
who are always welcomed by an ad
miring and critical audience. In a
measure emulating a typical night at
the Rathskiller, and adding a few
copyrighted ideas, the Parent-Teach
ers association have perfected ar
rangements for a society cabaret at
Uobarts’ hall tomorrow night.
The features of a cabaret run to
music and dancing, but of course there
are other numbers on tomorrow night’s
program that is full of interest. The
musical and dancing talent of Anchor
age have graciously volunteered then
services and success is assured. The
management of the affair is rather se
cretive about several numbers that
will be featured in the way of agree
able surprises. Among the accom
plished ladies, always popular with an
Anchorage audience, who appear to
morrow night will he Mrs. Benedict,
Mrs. Christensen, Mrs. Clayton, Mrs.
Manning, Mrs. W’ilt, Mrs. Tolley, Miss
Babe White, Miss Fitzgerald and Miss
Maltby. Messrs. McHugh, Vint, Kob
ely, Engle, Sheets, Newbold and Peter
son will assist the ladies in the musical
numbers and Miss O’Connor and Mrs.
Kies are billed for a Castle dancing ex
hibition.
The Harmon orchestra, consisting of
three pieces, has been engaged for the
evening and the advance sale of tick
ets is encouraging. The hall has been
tastily decorated for the occasion and
tables will not be reserved for love nor
money. The program starts at 8
o’clock tomorrow night and the entire
net proceeds will be devoted to the
benefit of young America and his little
sister.
