Anderson & Jensen, Proprs.
WE ARE VERY
GLAD TO SAY
we handle high grade meats *
only. It’s not just a claim, it’s "
a solid fact. Yet we do not ;
charge high prices. On the
contrary you’ll probably pay
less for meat here than you *
have been paying heretofore. <
Give us a chance to prove that 1
high-class meats can be sold at .
low prices.

Work on the electric light system
is progressing slowly.
Only a few days more until the fa
mous Moose Minstrel at the Empress.
Newt Pilger’s auction sale is draw
ing a big crowd and the goods are go

W. A. Sherman leaves Monday to
accept a position with the Eska Creek
Coal company.
A large number of enthusiasts en
joyed the ice on the new rink this af
ternoon.
The rink is centrally located and
within an easy walking distance from
any part of Anchorage.
The building committee in charge
of the Alaska Labor Union Hall say
that everything will be in readiness
for the opening dates starting one
week from tonight.
Jas. Magnan was brought in from
camp 91 yesterday and is confined in
the government hospital for treat
ment under the care of Drs. Reedy
and Beeson.
Elms and Kincaid have been sign
ed for the preliminary match for
Christmas afternoon that will be an
added attraction for the big Martin
Peterson match billed for that date at
Robarts’ hall:
Mrs. Mary Morrison has opened her
modern rooming house on H street,
fitted with bath, wash rooms and lav
atories. The lobby is commodious and
the house affords 22 comfortable and
well-furnished bedrooms.
The Moose made a total of 2229
and the 14th infantry rolled up a to
tal of 2321 pins in the three games
of ten-pins last night. Moses, of
the Moose, bowling in great form,
made the high score and average of
212 and 187 respectively.
The Matanuska operator reports
that four inches of snow has fallen in
that vicinity within the last 48 hours,
making good trails between Matanus
ka, Willow creek and Knik. The dog
mushers report the trails good in the
Yentna and Iditarod country.
While the Anchorage Chamber of
Commerce is resting from strenuous
exertions it might be well to take up
the matter of the inefficiency of the
mail service for the way stations and
camps between Anchorage and Sew
ard. Incidentally the Matanuska end
deserves some recognition. This is
merely a suggestion.
About 50 people attended the card
| party at the Anchor club last night
that was a very enjoyable affair. Mrs.
Woods and Mickey Costello won the
prizes given for the high score in
whist. With Mr. Dolliver playing the
party later ehjoyed an impromptu
dance. Coffee, cake and sandwiches
were served during the evening.
The bald-headed row in the Har
mony theatre has been sold out for
Sunday night. Adults only will be al
lowed to witness the performance of
the sensuous Florence Roberts, rep
resenting the character of Sapho, as
depicted by Daudet, the great French
writer. This film ran one solid week
at the Moore theatre in Seattle; the
setting is alaborate and extravagant,
and reproduced only by the aid of 200
performers. She’s a hummer.
Bridge whist was played at seven
tables at the Bill’s club card party
last night; Mrs. J. A. Wendler and
Chris Eckmann having the highest
score at the end of the evening’s play,
carried home a cut glass celery dish
and a box of apples respectively as a
reward of merit. Mrs. E. M. Culbert
son and Dr. J. T. Westermann run
ners-up. Light refreshments were
served during the evening and a vote
of thanks extended the entertainment
committee.
The local management of the Eska
Creek Coal company are preparing
to care for an early shipment of coal
that will be delivered from the Mc
Nally and Maitland yards. The first
shipment will consist of about 25 tons
but the development work at the mine
is progressing satisfactorily that the
following shipments will be much
larger. The management at the
mines expects to put on additional
coal miners as the development work
progresses and they expect to have
the mine working to capacity run
within a few weeks.

MINSTRELS HI'
MONDAY NIGHT.
“There she comes.” All the same
circus train of the glorious days of
knickerbockers and pinafores. There
will be no elephant attached to this
circus and no opportunity to carry
water but other attractions equally as
huge. For instance there is Holy How
ard, the man who put the town of
Knik on the vaudeville circuit. He is
a show in himself and really is clever.
Potter received six curtain calls, and
some vegetables and other fruit, at his
first vaudeville appearance and was
forced to repeat in Joplin.
They tell in Fairbanks of how Fred
Martin put the money in the banks of
that place by his stage stunts, and
Wilford, the director, is a personal
friend of Belasco and Dunstan. When
it comes to popular music this bunch
of home talent warblers are seriously
thinking of entering the songfest com
petition held annually in Wales.
Robarts, Price and Watts are not
the only local celebrities that come in
for theirs. There will be others, and
so come prepared to laugh with the
balance of the audience and possibly
at your own expense. The hits are all
original and some cleverer than oth
ers, but all of them good.
It would be impossible to pull off a
real good show without competent
scene shifters. Henry Emard and
Jimmie Cort have practiced their crew
of shifters until they have the science
down to an art. Everything is guar
anteed to go off smoothly, boisterous
ly, laughably and with percision and
dispatch.
The Moose minstrels make their in
itial appearance in Anchorage on the
Empress stage next Monday night.
Not until this troupe of1* black-face
comedians and songsters had reached
the stage of perfection would Man
ager Wilford give the high sign to bill
tile city. In this mammoth show are
21 performers, each one trained to the
minute and a show in his or her self.
They say there are ladies in the
troupe.
To reach perfection the troupe has
had 16 rehearsals and each performer
is word perfect. There will be no re
served seats and it is a case of first
come, first served. From the way the
tickets are selling the S. R. O. sign
will be put out early in the evening.
The doors open at 7‘i30 o’clock next
Mondaly night to admit the public to
the big Moose minstrel show and the
curtain will rise on the opening scene
promptly at 8 o’clock.
You can not afford to miss the hit
of the season—the Moose Minstrel
show.
BASKET BALL GAME SOON.
The prospects of witnessing a bas
ket ball game in the near future are
good. In fact a game has been ar
ranged between the city team and the
commission. To perfect the organiz
ation of the city team, all players
wanting to try out for position are re
quested to meet at Carrol & Co.’s
store tomorrow afternoon at 3 o’clock.
Several of the boys have already
signed for positions, but none will be
allotted until the try-outs, which will
determine the best players. There
will also be several substitutes car
ried on the team, which commence ac
tive practice at once. The commis
sion team will be selected from the
following players: Costello, Wilford,
Bruner, O’Neill, Shoot, Engle, Wer
ner, Ryan and Mangus. The first
match game is scheduled for New
Year’s day in the Alaska Labor Union
hall.
SKATING RINK READY.
Aron Ericson, president of the An
chorage Skating club, announces that
the skating rink will be ready for
skating this afternoon. This applies
to members only and anyone wishing
to join the club may do so by call
ing on Jimmie Lankin and paying the
dues of $1.25 per month. Other mem
bers of the club are also authorized
to accept dues. It was on account of
the consistent efforts and work of Mr.
Ericson, with the aid of Mayor Watts,
that this ice rink is possible. The
movement must be self supporting to
be a success as only the amount of
money necessary for maintenance
will be collected, as it is not a money
making scheme, but purely and simp
ly promoted for the sport.

HARMONY FILM BRIEFS.
The play, “Sapho” (with Miss
Florence Roberts) on tomorrow
night, is not a play for children
and unless accompanied by their
parents, they will not be ad
mitted.
