Mystic signs and symbols sa:red to
an order dating back to Solomon’s
time decorated the banquet board and
the walls of the Green Room in the
Frisco Cafe Thursday night. The oc
casion for this was the first annual
banquet of members of the Shrine re
siding at Anchorage. The member
ship is small but the individual no
bles are loyal to their order and rep
resent many different temples. The
spirit of affiliation is strong among
this clan and Thursday night’s festiv
ities only forged another link in the
strong chain of loyalty and friendship.
Twenty nobles and their ladies sat
down to an epicurean feast prepared
by an emperor’s chef, and while the
different courses were not all served
on silver salvers the management was
par excellence.
Originality, in name, marked the
courses and cuisine made them delect
able. Each course carried some local
characteristic. Place cards with a
Shriner design alloted the seats
around the board that were occupied
by Mr. and Mrs. Walter De Long and
Mrs. Frederick Mears, Mr. and Mrs.
Sol Silverman, Mr. and Mrs. W. C.
Grandjean, Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Craig,
Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Dunn, Mr. and
Mrs. J. E. Robarts, Mr. and Mrs. Felix
Brown, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Lillyman,

J. J. Longacre, Mr. Geo. D. Beaumont
and Mrs. Webber, Mr. J. H. Morton
and Miss Byles and Mr. Thornton Sill
cott, Mr. Walter Lord and Mr. Jos.
Jeffries.
Noble E. J. Warner acted as toast
master and other nobles responded
to toasts on subjects dear to the
hearts of the members of the shrine.
Other subjects came in for their
share of recognition, especially the ef
ficient personnel of the Alaskan En
gineering Commission, which toast
was ably responded to by Mrs. Mears.
During the evening the temporary
offices of the local organization were
made permanent: President, Walter
DeLong; vice, E. J. Warner, and Sec
retary, Qeo. D. Beaumont.
J. E. Robarts, S. K. Sharpless and
Geo. D. Beaumont composed the com
mittee that managed the successful
affair that lasted four delightful
hours and ushered into Anchorage life
the debut of the Mystic Shrine.
THOMAS BRUCE PASSES
AWAY IN SEATTLE
FAIRBANKS, Nov. 23.—According
to a letter received by Dr. W. G. Cas
sels from Dr. A. F. Edwards, of Se
attle, Thomas Bruce died in Seattle on
October 13. Tom Bruce, as he was
familiarly called, was an oldtimer in
the Dawson country, having been con
nected in the early days with the
Merchants’ Cafe and later with the
Green Tree Inn of Dawson. Later he
went out to Seattle and was the pro
moter of the Arctic club there. The
building cost in the neighborhood of
$1,500,000 and was th(* finest club
building in the northwest at the timp
of its erection.
He served as the general manager
of the club for a number of years
Later he was the manager of the
Savoy Hotel grill. It is not generally
known that he was a fine Shake
spearean scholar. He was a quiet
and unassuming man. He was one of
the best known and best liked men in
the north. The announcement of his
death comes as a severe blow to the
oldtimers of the country.
According to the doctor’s letter, Mr.
Bruce was ill for only a short time.
His death was the result of a severe
attack of pulmonary hemorrhages. He
was apparently well up to the time of
the first attack, which took place on
Saturday morning, not quite a week
before his death. He wished to be
taken to a hospital, but the doctor was
afraid to move him for some time. In
the middle of the week, however, he
had improved to such an extent that
the doctor felt that he could safely be
moved. He was moved on Thursday
and died on Friday morning. The
funeral was held on October 17.
WICKERSHAM WOULD NOT
BE CANDIDATE AGAIN
The Juneau Dispatch of November
21 quotes Delegate Wickersham as
saying that if defeated he will not
be a candidate again. The statement
was made, by the way, in the course
if an interview in which Mr. Wicker
sham expressed himself in favor of
lividing the territory into two con
gressional districts, each of which
vould have a delegate at Washington.
