SECURES GREAT
Lavish in his ideas to present the
very best, determined in his every ef
fort to satisfy the most exacting, with
no mercenary motive whatever, Cap
tain A. E. Lathrop, at a cost running
into the thousands, has secured for
Anchorage the most gigantic, thrill
ing, stupendous and, beyond question,
the most elaborate and expensive mo
tion picture production known to the
world today. The picture comes her
alded as the sensation of New York,
Chicago, Boston and Philadelphia.
Therefore unusual interest centers in
the announcement of the greatest
multiple reel cinema spectacle, “Civ
ilization,” to be presented at the Em
press theatre, Thursday and Friday,
Dec. 28 and 29.
“Civilization” is one of the world’s
biggest photoplay achievements. It
marks a long stride forward in that
uphill climb the motion picture medi
um has had to make toward its recog
nition as a new art form.
In “Civilization” we have in many
places the motion picture sublimated
into a thing of sheer, intangible beau
ty as to make one lose intellectual
conscience of what is before one. With
the use of exquisite coloring and pho
tography in its highest art, we have
in “Civilization” actual poems and
pictures, which is the nearest way of
seeing beauties of a texture for which
language has no word.
Time and space will not permit the
many interesting things that could be
said of this majestic play. In fact
there is a very whirl of things de
manding to be said about “Civiliza
tion.” For the present, however, we
can say without fear of contradiction
that the production is the kind you
need to go twice to see. Its beauty,
wonder, infinite detail, force, will re
ward a double seeing.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.—With an
open challenge for a complete expose
of any “pork” schemes, engineered
under the guise of rivers and harbors
legislation, the thirteenth annual con
vention of the National Rivers and
Harbors congress convened here to
day.
“If anyone knows,” the challenge
read, “that a project has no merit, and
that an appropriaton is sought solely
to promote the political fortunes of
some senator or representative, he
will be given an opportunity to pub
licly name the man.”
“However, if a man from Maine
criticizes a project in California, he
will be expected to tell how he hap
pens to know so much about things
2,000 or 3,000 miles away.”
The congress is to be addressed by
Secretary of War Newton D. Baker,
under whose jurisdiction waterways
projects are administered.
Speakers are expected to emphasize
the present coal shortage as indicative
of inadequate transportation, and urge
development of inland rivers of coal
mining districts.
“On the headwaters of one of our
greatest rivers,” a preliminary state
ment said, “coal mines have been com
pelled to close for lack of transporta
tion, while cities lower down the river
have paid famine prices for coal.”
The congress will attack the “vac
dilating waterway policy” of the
United States, and urge some definite
constructive schedule of rivers and
harbors improvement.
Rear Admiral William S. Benton,
chief of operations of the navy, will
speak on “T>o Relation of Improved
Waterways to Naval Efficiency;”
Representative Luther W. Mott, of Os
wego, N. Y., will speak on “From the
Great Lakes to Tidewater Under the
American Flag.”
“The Effect of Water Competition
on Railway Rates,” will be discussed
by Theodore Breht, general manager
of the joint traffic bureau of New
Orleans.

Have You Had This Letter?
If a business man wrote to you on a scrap of paper and
never used a letter head, you would conclude he wasn’t
much of a success—wouldn’t you? A man who does not
use modern business methods cannot possibly compete with
the man who does. A man who pays all his bills by cash
and never by check does not impress people with being a
successful man.
If you pay your bills by checks on your Bank Account here
you are writing upon the Letter Head of Success.
