NEW SALOON
 TO OPEN AUG. 1
Joe Anicich to Conduct a Second
 Establishment.

The building next to Charley Smiths place on Front street, at the corner of Campbell avenue, which is being con- structed by Joe Anicich, will be occupied by a saloon to be opened by him not later than Aug. 1. Besides being in an excellent business locality, the building will be large and fitted up second to none.
 The large cellar or basement, practi- cally of the same dimensions as the structure proper and feet 3 inches in the clear, was completed and the main part of the work commenced last week If lumber can be had in time it will be made two stories; otherwise it will be but one. It faces 30 feet on Front street and 50 on Campbell avenue. The work is planned and superintended by George Patterson.
 The Pioneer will continue business at the old stand down the street, regardless of the new enterprise.

JOE OATES
 GOT THE PRIZE

On the evening of the Fourth crowd as- sembled in front of the Pioneer to witness the trials for a S2O goldpiece which Joe Anicich fastened to a small flag and hoisted to the top of his fagpole. The pole is 72 feet high and the money for any one who would climb up and get it.
 For some time nobody made a move to- ward trying for the prize. Then several, one after another, blithely approached with threatening gesture, but glanced up at the flag and passed on. Finally one who bore the manner of an old sourdough went up and embraced the pole long and fervently. but his thoughts seemed to turn from their sordid course, and he walked away and sat on a nearby logheap. A soldier skinned up 25 feet and then slipped back into the dull routine of army life. John Minooks son, the mute, with the supposed assistance of many who shouted to him their instructions, carried his hopes 30 feet above the ground, where they went peuk. And the double eagle still hung high.
 After an interval Joe Oates approached his overalls were wet and when he slipped off his shoes his socks were seen to be like wise. He began to ascend rapidly, and, though slowing up, did not pause before he was half way to the top. Then, with oc- casional rests, he went up and plucked the coin. A well-timed slide to the ground and the show was over.

NEW LAUNCH
 TO BE BUILT
Plans for a Handsome Addition to
 Local Motor Fleet.

As soon as some of the minor but nec- essary material can be secured work will be commenced on handsome launch which w. A. Van Horne proposes to add to Tanana's mOtorboat fleet. Oak for the ribs and perhaps other ct ceteras will be secured from Rampant.
 The launch will be equipped with an S-horsepower Ferro marine engine, or dered from Seattle by s. E. Heeter, the manufacturers agent. Ferro engines have given perfect satisfaction in this country, and Mir. Van Horne believes he will have not only stylish and swift boat, but also serviceable and depend able one.

Motorboat for Arabian Sultan.

Motorboating is fast becoming favorite sport in Arabia. One of the surprises of the New York Motorboat show was the order booked :by Salem (Ohio) company for 26- foot steel launch, equipped with a 25-horse- power Ferro motor for the Sultan of Muscat and Oman.
 This is another demonstration of the supe- riority of American motorboats and engines. The order was doubtless received ill compe- tition with representatives of English, Ger man, French and Italian boat and engine builders. The boat is equipped with 25- horsepower Ferro marine engine, made by the Ferro Machine and Foundry Company, of Cleveland, Ohio. These engines are being used widely throughout Asia, as well as all over Europe. S. E. Heeter. agent, can fur nish literature and full information about them.
 The improvements in 1909 Ferro engines attracted much favorable comment at the New York show. The offset cylinder and counterbalance crankshaft reduce friction and wear on parts and secure maximum efficiency, and the working parts in the new models are easily accessible.

CALLED HIM
 A DEAD ONE

Jack Pinkham, well-known pros pector who had strayed beyond the knowledge of his numerous friends here about, came into port last Friday as a member of the crew of the steamer Hamilton. His corporeal rotundity sug- gested better last-winter's fare than rabbit tracks and snowballs, and when asked for an explanation he produced the following clipping from the Stockton Gal Record of last March:
 Dead, and yet very much alive!
 Such is the with Jack Pinkham, inc well-known former resident of this city, whose death in Alaska was reported here six years ago and who had been mourned as departed by his many Stockton friends.
 The dead" man, however dropped into town the other day and is the liveliest corpse one ever He left Stockton for Alaska in 1899, having resigned his position at the Grown Mills. His friends heard from him occasionally until 19O3 when his death was reported.
 A few days ago he arrived in Stockton and stepped into Thomas P. Bonney's office, No. 26 s. California street.
 ''Something you desire?' asked the real estate man.
 Nothing special" replied the apparent stranger. I'm Jack Pinkham. Just thought I'd say Hello"
 Jack died six years ago in Alaska" said Bonney.
 Sure ''::laughed Pinkham, and when Mir. Bonney saw the smile he immediately recog- nized his old friend.
 Pinkham made a trip down the water front and stepped into the Grown Mills. He asked whether he could nuke trip through the plant, and was informed that it would be necessary to secure permit but the regulation would be set aside upon that oc- casion. Jack took considerable pleasure asking numerous silly questions concerning machinery about which he himself was as we'll informed as the employees. Finally he across his old friend Jim Williams, with whom he used to work. II worked with fellow named Williams once" said Pinkham. He was the biggest crank I ever saw.'
 II dou't know you," retorted Williams "The only man I know was Jack Pinkham, and he died in Alaska six years ago. It took Pinkham but few seconds to make himself known, aud he and Williams had happy time, indeed recalling old times and past experiences.
 MT. and Mrs. Bonney have arranged a re- ception for next Friday night at their home, No. 235 W. Magnolia street, in honor of the former Stocktonian. number of his old friends will be present.
