EUREKA, Cal. Jan. 16.—The cruis
er Milwaukee, aiding in an attempt
to salvage the U. S. submarine U-53,

which prevailed this morning, the
Milwaukee drove into the first line
of breakers. A heavy sea is running
on the ocean.
Off to the Rescue.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 13.—The
revenue cutter McCulloch has been
dispatched to the aid of the cruiser
Milwaukee. The cutter departed for

New Method Cleaners last night by
67 pins on the Robarts alleys. The
game was witnessed by a large and
enthusiastic crowd of rooters who
cheered for their favorites. Hemmer
made the high score and average.
James Blake writes Anchorage
friends from Chickaloon that six
large dog teams had recently passed

fits was composed of two sourdoughs
and an eastern mining engineer who
are being backed by outside capital.

victory. The betting has fallen off but
there will probably be plenty of money
placed at the ring side tomorrow night.
Sidney Laurence will take several
flashlight pictures of the match.
“QUEEN OF THE CARNIVAL”
ENSHROUDED IN MYSTERY
Who is the Queen of the Carnival ?
Contrary to the usual custom which
provides for the election of a queen
to preside at celebrations such as the
Carnival to be held at the Labor Tem
ple Jan. 18 and 19, the executive
committee in charge of the affair has
picked out one of Anchorage’s fairest
young daughters to rule for the night.
The name of this young lady ha.'
been carefully guarded, and mucn
speculation is rife as to her identity.
E. M. Huff, of the executive com
mittee, who has taken an active part
in the Carnival this morning absolute
ly refused to divulge the name of the
royal lady. “It is enough,” he said,
“to assure everybody that the lady
honored by the selection is one who
will do credit to the part assigned to
her, and who is well qualified to be a
queen in fact.”
The name of the royal consort also
is a mystery which will not be solved
until the last night of the carnival.

Wm. Greer and Bob McIntosh were
called as witnesses and testified. The

THE SENTINELS
WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.—With the
thermometer registering 11 below ze
ro in Washington this morning, the
suffragette “silent sentinels” were on
duty as usual. When the president
came out for his usual morning walk,
he saluted the sentinels, and noting
the cold weather, directed that the
women be invited into the executive
mansion.
The signs of prosperity and good
times are in the air and plans are now
being drawn for several new buildings
that will be erected this spring. Many
more of the 4th avenue business
houses will be remodeled and in two
cases the second story will be added.
Ray C. Larson, the glass man, has just
completed the contract for the Ma
sonic building and is working on the
Logemann front. Mr. Larson ex
pects to leave Anchorage tomorrow
for Seward on his way to the outside
markets, where he will purchase a
large supply of glass of all kinds and
other stock for the trade. He has
closed contracts amounting to over
$5,000.00 for new buildings and has
several more in view.
Mr. Larson is very optimistic over
the future of Anchorage and says that
present indications point to a very
prosperous year for the Anchorage
merchants. He will be gone two
months and will spend most of his
time in Seattle and Portland, and Jack
McFate, assisted by two employees,
will have charge of the business dur
ing his absence.
“THE ROSE MAIDEN.”
Very satisfactory progress is being
made in the preparation of the beauti
ful cantata. It is expected that in ad
dition to the soloists there will be a
chorus of over forty voices under the
direction of Mr. Dolliver. There are
just a few vacancies and then a suf
ficiently strong chorus will be assured
to give the properrendering of “The
Briday Chorus,” at once the most
beautiful and also the most extensive
in its demands of the singers. The
chorus meets tonight at the church at
8 o’clock. New members will be wel
comed at this meeting and later the
chorus will receive no new members
until after the concert.
The regular business meeting of the
Anchorage Woman’s club will be held
Thursday afternoon, Jan. 18, at 2
o’clock in Robarts’ hall. A large at
tendance is desired in order that the
by-law stating the number necessary
for a quorum may be revised’,' and a
recording secretary may be elected to
fill that vacancy. The program for
the afternoon will be in charge of
the home economics department, of
which Mrs. Fleishmann is chairman,
and will consist of a paper by Mrs. J,
L. McBride entitled, “The Child, a
Material Asset in the Home.” Please
be prompt. MRS. E. S. REEDY,
Cor. Sec.
