SHIP CREEK MEAT CO.
Anderson & Jensen, Proprs.
WE ARE VERY
GLAD TO SAY
we handle high grade meats
only. It’s not just a claim, it’s
a solid fact. Yet we do not
charge high prices. On the
contrary you’ll probably pay
less for meat here than you
have been paying heretofore.
Give us a chance to prove that
high-class meats can be sold at
low prices.
MEATS
gn
Also Sugar Cured Hams and Bacon,
Home Made Sausage, Butter,
Eggs and Fish
SPECIAL ATTENTION GIVEN TO ROAD HOUSE
AND CAMP ORDERS.

The first few days of the year 1817
will have many a clean page.
What in the world would a person
do without the word “The” to start a
sentence.
The trials in the alleged gambling
cases that were set for tomorrow have
been postponed until Saturday.
Alex Anderson, familiarly known as
Blondy, is down from Matanuska for
a few days, laying in a stock of Christ
mas provisions and supplies for his
restaurant.
Fur caps and overcoats have drop
ped materially in price and all on ac
count of the moderation of the weath
er. Nor are B. V. D.s selling at an
advanced price.
Pete Wells, the popular store keeper
stationed at Matanuska, came down!
on yesterday’s train and is spending
the day in Anchorage on business con
nected with the Alaskan Engineering j
Commission.
Attorney Chas. C. Ganty has pur-;
chased the Mylroie residence occu
pied by E. J. Warner, and will take!
possession as soon as Mr. Warner and j
family move to their new suite in the |
Empress building.
There is considerable complaint
about the crowded condition of the
passenger cars running between An
chorage and points up the line. Still
this speaks well for the earning ca
pacity of the Great Alaska Railroad.
A few more days like today and
Aron Ericson, who is so ably trfanag
ing the new city skating rink, says
that it will be possible to turn the
water on and the lovers of this great j
out-door sport will have an opportun- j
ity to enjoy themselves.
Mason B. Leming who has just ar- ;
rived in the city from Juneau .reports
that J. A. Moore, Anchorage’s first
mayor, is still confined to the hospi
tal slowly convalescing from a two
months’ siege of typhoid fever, fol
lowing an operation for appendicitis.
L. V. Ray, the Seward attorhey,
telephoned Judge Leopold David“last
hight from Indian creek that he Kdd
been delayed and would not reach An- j
chorage until late tonight. Attorney j
Ray has been called from' Seward to j
appear for the defense in several of I
the cases set for Saturday.
Jack Robarts has a deal underway |
to lease the Robarts hall to P. A.
Brennen, who in the future will con
duct the dances. It is the intention of
Mr. Brennen to give three dances a
week, charging only a nominal sum j
for each dance, admittance free. He j
has engaged good music and will give
the first dance Saturday night at the
usual hour.
Horse and horse is the way the
games stand between the Lawyers and
The Times teams on the Recreation
bowling alleys. The Lawyers won the
match last night but only after a very
close game. Chas. G. Ganty made the
high score of 173. The next match
takes place between these two teams
Saturday night on the Recreation al
leys.
Aron Erickson, who has charge of
the city skating rink on Watts pond,
has everything in readiness, in con
junction with the city administra
tion, to run the water just as soon as
the weather moderates. The big
scraper is finished and many enthusi
asts have volunteered to assist in the
work of clearing off the rink. A
large tent with stoves will be provid
ed for the comfort of the skaters; the
pipe is ready and will be covered to
insure against freeze-ups and the
only thing to do now is to pray for
a rise in mercury.
In talking to Young Viking this
morning in reference to the go be
tween Bob Peterson and himself he
said, “I am perfectly willing for
Martin and Peterson to have another
wrestling match and think it no more
than fair that Martin should have a
return match is he desires it. My
proposition still holds good, however,
and I will take on either one of them
at any time. Promoter Jack Robarts
is trying to get Martin and Peterson
to sign the necessary agreement for
another match and the lovers of the
wrestling game are also using their
influence to bring this match about.
Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Thorpe, who op
erate a road house at mile 12 on the
Knik-Willow creek road, are visiting
in the city for a few days and made
The Times office a pleasant call this
morning. Mr. Thorpe is one of the
original homesteaders in that part of
the country and has 320 acres, most
of which has been cleared, and says
that this year’s prolific, crop more than
convinced him of the farming oppor
tunities of Alaska , and that he, would
clear and put the balance of his farm
in cultivation just as rapidly as pos
sible. He said that the farmers were
for the most part building substantial
houses and barns and gradually stock
ing their farms with milch cows and
hogs and in the main were well satis
fied with the existing conditions.
Jake Young and Bert Fink have
leased their wood saw and will leave
Anchorage in a few days for the
Chickaloon coal fields where they will
spend the winter.
M. L. V. Smith, known from Nome
to Anchorage as “Sport” Smith, re
cently returned to Seward from a trip
to Seattle where he has been for sev
eral weeks on important business.
In talking to George Cotter this morn
ing over the long distance line Sport
said he expected to be in Anchorage in
the near future and that he had lived
too long in Alaska to care for the
great outside.
Talking about wrestling, which is
an all interesting subject at the pres
ent time, Bob Peterson notified Billy
Greer, of the Daily Times, that he
would wrestle Young Viking for $250
at any time or place. This is all very
good but the fans still insist and want
to see a return match between Martin
and Peterson.
This would be a plausible match and
The Times believes that Martin is en
titled to a return engagement. How
ever Peterson is unquestionably with
in his rights by passing up the Martin
match as he won the last go and is in
a position to dictate. In any event
the sporting fraternity of Anchorage
is keyed up to the point where they
want a match of some kind and now is
the plausible time to make the date.
CLEANERS WIN FROM
THE MOOSE AT BOWLING
They took ’em to the cleaners. The
second match on the Robarts alleys in
the tournament for the silver trophy
resulted in a victory for the team rep
resenting the New Method Cleaners
versus the Moose team. Kosmos, Ogel
vie, Blanton, Korth and Peterson bowl
ed for the Cleaners and Mills, Becker,
Sluter, Martin and Moses appeared for
the Moose. Total pins in the three
games: Cleaners 2,133, Moose 1,922,
Cleaners winning by a margin of 211
pins. Blanton, captain of the Clean
ers, made the high score of 191 atid
high average of 170 1-3.
The next match in the tournament
takes place Friday night between the
Municipal and Elks teams.
PENN SCORES WIN
OVER YOST’S MEN
ANN ARBOR, Mich., Nov. 18.—
Pennsylvania university football elev
en, by taking sharp advantage of op
portunities and holding firm at criti
cal moments, defeated Michigan, 10
to 7, here today. The Wolverines had
half a dozen chances to put over the
winning touchdown, but their efforts
lacked the finishing punch.
The Home Economic department of
the Anchorage Woman’s club, will
hold its regular meeting tomorrow af
ternoon at 2:30 o’clock in the Chamber
of Commerce rooms and a full attend
ance is desired.
(Signed) MRS. E. S. REEDY,

For certain optical reasons
the most effective distance to
project a picture is between 90
100 feet. In our house it is 94
feet from the machines to the
screen. The "line of vision”
from the last row of seats is
level with the bottom of the pic
ture. This is in part the rea
son that you do not suffer any
“eye strain” in our house.
