Did you know that arrangements
are being made for a 30-mile Mara

fastivities ?
Hermann Gentsch has sold the Cole

service out of Anchorage to any point
desired by customers.
Mason B. Leming, who has charge
of the Anchorage land department of

apartments Monday morning.
The Union cigar factory, located :.t
the corner of 5th avenue and B streets,
are turning out a fine example of home
product that is meeting with favor
with the Anchorage smokers.
Tom McKinney, who has charge of
the stables on the Tumagain Arm dis

Charles Estmere was adjudged in
sane at the jury trial held this morn

Frank Hoffman will take care of Mr.
Estmere until provisions are made for
his departure to the outside.
Basketball, did you say? Yes,
there’s strong talk of organizing sev- i
eral teams as soon as the A. L. U. |
temple is completed. Some cracker-1

s.-rrsc good game.'..
Attorney L. V. Ray arrived in An- !
chorage yesterday afternoon and is
stopping at the White House. The
cases in which Mr. Ray is interested
have been postponed until Monday in
order to give him an opportunity to
more fully investigate the existing
and local conditions.
It is impossible to please all the peo
ple all the time. Ike Bayless is just
in receipt of a letter from his brother
Sam, known to so many Alaskans of
the interior as a popular fellow, say
ing that he is doing a splendid busi
ness in the mercantile line at Oatman,
Arizona, but that the weather is un
bearably hot and that he pines for the
snows of Alaska.
Jas. Turner and Joe .Horrick left on
this afternoon’s train for Rabbit. the
end of the line on the Turnagain <^rm
district, and will walk from* there to
Mile 41 where they connect with the
main line from Seward. They will j
take the first steamer out of Seward
for the outside, where they expect to
spend the winter. Mr. Turner said be
fore leaving that he expected to re
turn early in the spring and engage in
the fishing business in the waters of
the Cook inlet adjacent to Anchorage.
The Times has heard many little
jests in regard to the prognostication
of Chief Nocholi, who predicted an
open winter. The big chief, at the
time, gave several reasons for; this
prophecy and today’s change in the
temperature goes to bear out his
statement. If this warm weather
keeps up Barney Watson says he will
wire the Seattle office to start the
Admiral steamers for Anchorage. In
any event it will give the city adminis
tration and the promoters of the city
ice rink on Watts’ pond an opportun
ity to put the rink in shape for skat
ing.
UNUSUAL BANQUET.
That Alaska is assuming quite a
metropolitan air was demonstrated
last evening at 6 o’clock when one
hundred and eight young people sat
down at the first table of the Sunday
school banquet held in the parlors of
the Presbyterian church. In addition,
quite a number had to eat at the sec
ond table. The viands for the most
part were cooked in the kitchen of the
church. Not many towns in Alaska
can boast of a church plant complete
enough to perform such a stunt as
this.
The banquet was the culmination of
a contest between the Reds, headed by
Miss Martha Ervin and the Blues, led
by Miss Loretta Kobely. The Reds
lost and tendered their conquerors for
the time being, a banquet. After the
banquet part was over, several toasts
were responded to by members of the
various classes. This Presbyterian
school has an average attendance of
125 with an enrollment of 170 and a
large cradle roll in addition.
PRESBYTERIAN.
Morning service, 11 o’clock. Even
ing service at 7:30 o’clock. Sunday
school at 12 m.
At the evening service the speaker
will begin a series of three sernions on
“Liberal Christianity.” The subject
of the first sermon will be, .“Does a
Man Have to Have Religion?” The
morning sermon will have for its sub
ject, “What Is Forgiveness of Sins?”
Special music. Every one can have a
singing book of his own.
It takes the Pioneers to do things.
I.ast night’s potlatch banquet was all
they promised and more. Commenc
ing with Dr. McBride’s splendid ad
dress to the final course of the ban
quet the entire affair was a distinct
success and the guests are unanimous
in hoping that more will follow. Judge
Leopold David displays the same sang
friod in the presence of a crowd as
when sitting in the seat of judgment.
The judge’s remarks were apt and in
terspersed with stories dear to the
hearts of the old timer. Both Mrs.
Clayton and Mrs. McLain and Mr.
Sheets were forced to respond to en
cores and their vocal selections were
especially well received. As a toast
mistress Mrs. Martha White was
equally as good as her Alaska story,
and when Matt Button went into the
real estate business the newspaper
field lost a born critic. Judge Munley
as an after-dinner speaker sustained
his reputation. Attorney L. V. Ray,
called from the crowd, as an im
promptu speaker is a worthy expon
ent of the profession and, in a meas
ure, possibly accounts for his being
brought from Seward on professional
services.
One hundred and fifty-five people
sat down to a real potlatch banquet
that certainly exemplified the old say
ing, “The proof of the pudding is in
the eating thereof.” The logic of this
connection is that there was nothing
left over and the man that came with
the twelve baskets went home empty.
It :s just such enjoyable affairs as
these that make the Pioneers proud of
their organization and go towards ce
menting the bond of affiliation that
has been the fundamental reason for
the perfect feeling of congeniality and
good fellowship that exists among the
membership of this clan that has made
friendship the synonym of the old
pioneer. It takes 16 years of Alaska
life to be eligible to membership but
it is always considered an honbr and
certainly a pleasure, to be a guest of
such social affairs as given last night
by the Anchorage Pioneers of Alaska.

TO COLLEAGUE
Attorney L. V. Ray’s tribute to his
old friend and comrade, Conrad
Freeding who recently lost his life in
the Nome country, was fitting, especi
ally so as so many of the old-timers
atr the Pioneers’ banquet last night
were also friends of this noble pioneer
of the northland. Mr. Freeding was
prominently connected with the Wom
an’s suffrage movement and together
with Gov. Clark and Congressman
Shoup has the honor of having his
picture on display at their headquar
ters. Mr. Ray was closely associated
with Senator Freeding and their
friendship was everlasting and on the
Damon and Pythias order. Mr. Ray
when called upon for an impromptu
speech last night said “the meeting
with so many friends of the upper
country can not help but bring back
the memory of our friend Senator
Freeding whose death was chronicled
in today’s Times. From the fact that
we were so closely associated and the
memory is sad, but sweet, I beg to
be excused from further speech be
cause the thought comes to me that
perhaps tonight as we are gathered
here for the social evening our dear
friend’s body may be lying on the
frozen wastes of the interior; exposed
to the elements and unprotected ex
cept by the bright rays of the north
ern lights and whose death sleep is
guarded by the same God who has
watched over and cared for us all in
our different experiences in this froz
en northland.’’
SURPRISE PARTY FOR
MR. EDGAR RATHWELL
Edgar Rathwell was pleasantly sur
prised at his home on Thursday even
ing by a number of his young friends.
The evening was enjoyably spent in
dancing, music and games, after
which refreshments were served.
Those present were Mr. and Mrs. W.
Rathwell, the Misses Bertha Hub
bard, Edna Purvis, Harriet Maltby,
Margaret Simonson, and Messrs. Ed
gar Rathwell, James Allenbaugh,
John Maltby and C. Neff.
Forty couples pronounced the dance
at the Bill’s club last night a very in
formal and enjoyable affair. Enjoy
able perhaps because it was informal',
together with the good music, fine
floor and congenial company.
Read The Dally Times and be an
Anchorage booster.
