The next big social event in Anchor
age is the Thanksgiving eve ball, at
Bobarts Hall, on the evening of No
vember 29.
This affair is in charge of the local
'Moose lodge and the members arc
busy with preparations to handle a ca
pacity house. The best music this lo
cality can provide has been secured
and the latest dance music available is
already being rehearsed.
The Times print shop is busy with
the designing and printing of the pro
grams and they are leaving nothing
undone in order to make this one thing
a work of art, and something that one
will keep for years to remind them of
the good time they had as guests of
the Anchorage Moose.
The hall is being decorated and
every convenience for the ladies will
be provided. A maid will take care of
the ladies’ wraps and assist them at
any time.
The Anchorage Moose are getting
famous for their hospitality and on
this event they are sparing no ex
pense whatever.
There will be a prize waltz and at
11:30 some eats, and delicious punch
will be served from the first dance to
“Home, Sweet Home.”
Presbyterian,
Morning service 11 a. m. Evening
service 7:30 p. m. Sunday school 12
m. Attention is called to the Sunday
school which has now dn attendance of
125, with over 150 on the roll. There
are two Bible classes one for the
younger people taught by the minister
and the other taught by Mr. Brown,
who formerly taught one of the larg
est classes on the coast. The subjects
of the morning sermon will be “The

evening subject will be, “What

Dollars?”
Lecture and Musical.

meeting at the Moose hall Sunday eve
ning will be a half-hour musical, with
good vocal and instrumental numbers,
immediately after a lecture on “The
Pursui. of Happiness.’ The open
forum will commence at 7 p. m., the
address at 7:30, and the musical pro
gram at 8 o’clock.
TICKET SELLER
Always on the lookout for any de
vice which will add to the convenience
of his patrons, Captain A. E. Lath
rop of the Empress theatre has in
stalled an automatic ticket seller
which is viewed with admiration and
awe by all the patrons.
When a theatre goer applies for
tickets at the window, and signifies
the number of tickets wanted, the
young lady in charge of the cash pres
ses several buttons. There is a whirr
of a motor, and presto; the correct
number of tickets is within easy reach
and the cashier has the money.
The machine is especially useful on
nights when there is a big rush, as
the tickets are delivered as rapidly as
£he patrons can pass the window.
Captain Lathrop has purchased two
of these machines, one of which will
be installed at his Valdez theatre.
The Atlas Educational Film Com
pany have written the following letter
to the Anchorage Chamber of Com
merce that will be of interest to the
public, and their proposition will come
up for discussion at the next regular
meeting:
Sec’y Chamber of Commerce, Anch
orage, Alaska.
Dear Sir:
We contemplate sending a camera
man to Alaska in the near future to
take some motion pictures to show up
the wonders of your country.
We are in a position to circulate
these films throughout the entire
United States, and if you are willing
to help share the expense, we will be
glad to feature Anchorage. We be
lieve that your Chamber of Commerce
or your various business organizations
would be willing to contribute a total
of $500.00, which would help cover our
expenses and for this we would agree
to make at least a reel of 1,000 feet of
Anchorage and vicinity, and circulate
this for you GRATIS. There is no
doubt but what we could use quite a j
number of copies, and if you should I
want to buy any copies to circulate
yourself, our charge would be $100.00
each, and we would stand the cost of
the prints that we would circulate.
The Honorable J. Strong, governor,
referred us to you.
This is an unusual opportunity to
get wide publicity for Anchorage, and
our proposition is made in the antici
pation of your acceptance.
Yours truly,
ATLAS EDUCATIONAL FILM CO.

AMERICA’S GAIN IN ESTI
MATION OF THE CHINESE'
PHILADELPHIA, Pa.—The admi-j
ration which China has for the United
States, and the gratitude for the fair
treatment accorded that country when
this government returned a substan- ]
tial portion of its share of the boxer
indemnity is frankly discussed by a
Jap correspondent of the recorder’s
office of the University of Pennsyl
vania. This correspondent has gath
ered statistics in Pekin which show1
that there are 154 natives in that city
who have studied in American colleges
and universities, more than 100 of
whom are officially connected with the
government. Most of the returned
students are teaching in schools and
universities, while others are in busi
ness. Referring to the i “turn of a
portion of the Boxer irde.i) :ty, ti e
Japanese co respondent says:
“The part of the Boxer indemnity
remitted by America in 1001 is being
spent by the Chinese government in
American scholarships. The Tsing
Huan Cj'.legi in Pekin, which pre
pares i ients for foreign universities
is kept up ont of the same fund.
“When America annoo.i rd her in
tention of returning the $.• , lus in
demnity furn's the Chine :e were pro
fusely g~it‘u> and America’s moral
stock went up rapidly an 1 : "ni'anent
