IT’S A REAL PLEASURE
to view the new wall decorations on
view here exclusively. They are so
unconventional, so out of the common
and so unusually artistically attrac
tive. If you plan to repaper you
should by all means see these new
^Kpers. To decide without doing so
is apt to result in regret later.

THROUGH ERROR, BRAZILIAN BATTLESHIP
FIRES ON AN AMERICAN STEAMER
RIO JANEIRO, Feb. 9.—The American steamer Evelyn
was fired on by the Brazilian battleship Minescreases, soon after
leaving Rio Janeiro Tuesday morning, but none of the shots
took effect. The steamship returned to port to make inquiry
as to the matter, and it was found that the shots were fired by
the battleship through a misundersanding of signals. The
steamship proceeded on its way this, morning.
GERMAN SUBJECTS ARE DISCHARGED
FROM U.S. COAST GUARD SERVICE
WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.—An order was issued today, dis
charging from the United States coast guard service all enlist
ed men who are German or Austrian subjects.
The successful smoker held by the
members of the Alaska Labor union
last night in commemoration of their
first anniversary can only be describ
ed by the thousands. One thousand
men and women of Anchorage ate al
most 2,000 appetizing sandwiches,
drank, over 1,000 glasses of punch,
lemonade and cider and the men smok
ed over 1,000 cigars in addition to nu- j
merous cigarettes. Two hundred and ■
fifty Missouri meerschaum pipes were
also distributed among the smokers,
together with the necessary tobacco
The people gathered early and the
large hall was filled half an haur be
fore the program commenced with the
able address of James A. Wilkinson.
The balance was rapidly carried out
and was interesting in the extreme
as was evidenced by the many recalls
of the performers. The shadow pan
tomime in which “Doctor Killum” al
most lived up to his name was a
scream and brought down the house.
Doliver’s piano selections were good
and the vocal number by the trio was
well received. Mr. Osier on the violin
[accompanied by Mrs. Fonda on the pi
ano was very good and was followed
by a clever boxing exhibition between
Jimmie Brennan and Jack Bunting.
Charles Janich and company, man
dolin players, were loudly cheered
and forced to repeat to an encore.
The two wrestling exhibitions were
out of the ordinary and aroused con
siderable enthusiasm. The work of
Kincaid and Hegstrom was classy and
Aumann showed equally as well as
Peterson, his heavier opponent.
Mrs. Lena Morrow Lewis held the
attention of the audience throughout
her scholarly address on the appropri
ate subject of organization. George
Aumann gave two readings during
the evening.
At the silent request of the audi- j
ence a recess of 15 minutes was order
ed while the committee passed the
sandwiches. At the same time the
people were allowed to contribute
their mite and materially voice their
sentiments as to the unquestioned
success of the evening’s entertain- j
ment. It was a glowing success from j
every standpoint and the different j
committees are to be congratulated on
the manner the affair was handled;
the members should be proud of the
capable men at the head of the or
ganization and the people of Anchor
age are appreciative of the efforts
and accomplishments of the Alaska
Labor Union as a whole.

SEWARD, Feb. 9.—The schooner
Harold Blekum arrived here last
night, following a storm in which the
power boat Progress, which was tow
ing her from Seattle to this port, was
driven seaward and has not since been
heard from and is believed lost. The
Progress broke away from the Blekum
at Cape Ominey, and from that point
to Seward, the schooner employed her
own sails, coming the entire distance
in a howling southeast gale. The
Blekum has a cargo for the firm of
Brown & Hawkins.
Last November, the Blekum left
Seattle, en route to Seward. She
reached the entrance to Resurrection
bay, but a fierce northeast gale forced
her to put to the open sea, as she was
unable to accomplish the entrance of
the bay. After drifting about in the
open ocean for many days, the P.le
kum finally reached Seattle.
_ SEATTLE, Feb. 9.—George E.
Holmes and John Morgan, both of
j whom lost their sight in South
| eastern Alaska, where they were en
gaged in prospecting and who were
believed lost, have opened .a broom
factory in Seattle and are doing a
thriving business. They employ ma
chinery in their operations.
