Many important matters were dis
posed of at the meeting of the Alaska
Labor union last night. Ways and
means for raising money to pay off
the indebtedness of the hall came in
for a lengthy and heated discussion
and terminated with the decision to
start a Union Loan and TAist associ
ation which in turn would loan the or
ganization sufficient capital to pay all
outstanding debts and at the same
time complete the building. The
members of the union who expect to
start the loan association will put up
the required capital and will meet in
a few days to perfect the organiza
tion. The loan company in turn will
select a business manager who will
have full charge of the building until
the entire indebtedness is \Ciped out.
The secretary stated that less than
$3,000 in bonds had been disposed of
and these will be called in, including
the ones advanced for labor and other
bills.
A recess was taken to solicit mem
bers for the new loan association and
$4,000 was subscribed, headed by Ed.
McVetty with $100; 17 other members
followed the example and signed for
$100, the balance of the subscriptions
being under this amount.
The grievance of the laundry work
ers employed by the Pioneer Laundry
was held over for one week until the
union could communicate with the pro
prietors of the laundry. Several other
minor matters were disposed of and
sevral bills laid on the table. The
next regular meeting will be held on
Monday night.
In Los Angeles and many other cit
i ies the high class apartment houses
| make a specialty of refusing tenants
| with the precious incumbrance of chil
! dren attached. In many ways the new
Lathrop apartments of Anchorage can
favorably compare with the “ Alon-1
quin,” of Los Angeles, reputed to be,
the class of that city. Any one hav
ing the fabled word “Alonquin” print
ed on their visiting cards can sign a
dinner check at the Alexandria or run
an account with Jevne. The name
Lathrop apartments carries the same
financial and high moral significence
in Anchorage but different from its
contemporary of the southern city
children are not only acceptable but
are made welcome. In fact while a
representative of this paper was sign
ing his name to the waiting list this
morning a well-gowned lady accom
panied by two sweet faced children
called at the office of the Lathrop
apartments and asked for rooms. Her
face fell as she was refused and the
courteous management noticing the
expression immediately said, “No,
madam, it is certainly not on account
of the children but simply because 1
have no more vacant apartments and
I will be glad to take your name and
address and notify yougsf'the first va
cancy.”
Without any particular pretension
or advertising the new Lathrop apart
ments have been completed, every one
of the 22 apartments rented and Cap
tain Lathrop said this morning that he
was only sorry that he did not have
double the number of rooms for he
had many applicants for accommoda
tions that he was unable to furnish.
The new apartments consist of 12
single rooms and 10 two-room apart
ments, several of them fitted with neat
kitchenettes. Every room has hot
and cold running water and is finished
in light stained oak with plastered
walls which will be tinted as soon as
the weather permits.
The walls of the different apart
ments and rooms are sound proof and
are fitted with commodious closets.
The apartments are lighted
throughout with electricity, heated by
steam heat and boast of three large,
sanitary bath rooms and lavatories.
Two carpeted stairways lead to the
upstairs, the main one from the H
street entrance and one from Fourth
avenue.
The new apartments are strictly
modern in every detail, sanitary and
comfortable and truly a credit to An
chorage.
The 14th Infantry, in their march
for the silver trophy, beat the Muni
cipals two out of three games last
night by 196 pins. High score, Henkle
198 and Roberts made the high av
erage of. the three games, 169. The

At a meeting of the managers of
the three teams that comprise the An
chorage Basketball league last night
Mr. Loussac is an ardent sport and
the league. The selection was a wise
one and has met with universal fav
Mr. oLussac is an ardent sport and
especially well posted on basketball
and will devote the necessary time and
attention to make the season’s sched
ule a success. In accepting the po
sition Mr. Loussac said, “You can
count on me to use every effort to
make this game a favorite with the
people of Anchorage and further I
will do all in my power to further
clean legitimate sports of any nature
in this city.”
In acknowledgement of the honor
and further to bind the friendly feel
ing that now exists Mr. Loussac will
entertain the managers and members
of the three teams at supper tonight
in. the Green Boom of the Frisco cafe
after the Commission-14th Infantry
game at Labor Union hill.
The game tonight marks the form
al opening of the league schedule and
promises to be a hard-fought contest
with the chances slightly favoring the
soldier boys. The two games won by
the City do not. count in the percent
age on account of a previous agree
ment between the managers. The
Commission has elected Magnus as
captain and he said this morning that
he would spring a surprise on his riv
als and had trained his team to break
up the passing and team work the
14th used so effectively against the
City in the Sunday game. Captain
Gubert goes into the game full of
confidence and while he has only a few
men to draw from has developed a
well-trained team. The game starts
at 8:45 o’clock tonight and was set at
this hour in order to give the theatre
goers an opportunity to witness the
game.
BETTER SERVICE
Through the ruling of some high
salaried officer in the postoffice de
partment the Matanuska and the peo
ple up the line were recently shut
down to one mail a week. The hitch
came because there was no provision
made to transfer the mail from the
local postoffice to the depot with the
exception of once a week by the Revell
route. The many subscribers of the
Times up the line complained at the
ruling and requested the Times to
take the matter up with the Alaskan
Engineering Commission. The man
agement of the Times conferred with
Postmaster Wood and Andrew Chris
tensen, of the Commission, with the
result that the Commission have
agreed to transfer the mail to the de
pot for Matanuska and up the line
for delivery three times a week.
Owing to the severe snow storms in
the neighborhood of Rainy Pass the
Iditarod mail is overdue. The out
side mail left for Seward at 2 o’clock
this afternoon.
Chris Erscow, one of the head car
penters employed by the Alaskan En
gineering Commission and located at
King river, is visiting friends in the
city for a few days.
On account of the deep snow J. S.
Matthews has been somewhat delayed
in making the return calls on his cus
tomers for the new city directory.

but business has not fallen off
at all. There’s money in this

along there is going to be more.
