Paul Hansen, of Talkeetna, through
a lengthy communication, suggests
that the Anchorage Chamber of Com
merce or the advertising department
of the Alaskan Engineering Commis
sion give the mountains of his region
more publicity. Mr. Hansen writes
that he feels that the grandeur of the
mountains and the wonderful scenery
of that neighborhood are worthy of
recognition. Moreover he points out
that the country abounds in game and
the streams in fish, making an ideal
locality for sportsmen and tourists. As
a further incentive to the summer
tourist, he intimates that, if they are
lucky, the idle time of the traveler
can be profitably used in panning out
the virgin gold from the numerous
mountain streams.

his wife.
M. H. Healy, deputy U. S. marshal
stationed at Talkeetna, makes the apt
suggestion of a systematized territory
police system to more adequately pa
trol the roads and trails and thinks the
matter should be brought to the at
tention of the legislature. Mr. Healy’s
idea suggests a plan similar to the or
ganization of the Texas Rangers or
the Northwest Mounted Police of
Canada, and points out several crimes
that have been perpetrated in which
the guilty parties have not been
brought to justice. The idea of a pa
trol system has been under discussion
for several years, especially among
the old timers residing in the interior
who are more interested in the matter
than the citizens along the coast. It
is understood that the question of a
better and more systematized policing
system will be taken up at this session
of the territorial legislature.

“MICHAEL STROGOFE.”
There are few people in this world
who have ever seen a river on fire,
and there are a great many people
who would not believe such a thing
possible, but should go to the Har
mony theatre on Tuesday or Wednes
day, February 20th and 21st, you will
have an opportunity of seeing this
most curious sight. In Jules Verne’s
story of “Michael Strogoff” there is
a most descriptive account of Michael
and Nadia floating down Lake Baikal
on a raft to escape being captured by
the Tartars, who in turn dig trenches
and force the oil from the petroleum
wells into the river and then set it on
fire. Lloyd B. Carleton, who directed
this picture, devised a plan whereby
this scene could actually be produced,
and much to the great joy of every
one concerned, a very realistic picture
was obtained. This, and many other
realistic scenes of the War of the Tar
tars in the land of thp Czar, are shown
in the five-part motion play of “Mich
ael Strogoff.” 480
