Something About Alaska

When l was a little girl and studied
at school, Smiths geography (and
Smiths grammar and Smith's
arithmetic), there was great
west corner of the map of North
America, on which was printed Rus
sian Possessions" Russia, the larges
of European countries, had walked over
Asia and laid a heavy hand on this
part Of North America. There was but
little said and little known OF what
Russia claimed or owned on the west
ern continent, but during the war or
the sixties Russia was ready to make
an alliance with the north because Eng
land at that time was friendly TO the
southland was only too glad to put a
finger in to what promised to become a
general war in the United States. Mr..
Seward. Lincoln's secretary of state,
made a secret alliance, it is said. with
Russia. and Russia promised to be on
hand with warships and soldiers, when
ever England gave aid and comfort TO
the southern confederacy.
To cover this strategic movement,
Seward offered to buy a part of these
Russian possessions, now known as
Alaska. a supposed barren, ice-covered
tract, WORTHLESS and almost uninhabit-
able.
Seward offered seven millions of dol
lars for Alaska and Russia accepted IT
as a windfall-a pickup, a something
for nothing, and deed was passed TO
the United States.
For great many years we heard
only of seals and furs. in connection
with Alaska 1 remember well, look

The Play LAST Night.

One Of the brightest and most spark
ling Of all the many musical comedies
that are or the read, is The Newly
weds and Their Baby which was
played at the opera house last night
to large audience which was de-
lighted with the catchy melodies, the
clever comedy parts and the pretty
faces Of the girls. The comedy is
founded OF the work OF ca-toonist,
George McManus, whose pictures Of
the Newlyweds have kept an entire
continent laughing. This furnished
the idea and it has been worked into
la musical comedy Of more than usual
cleverness by Aaron Hoffman, Paul
be difficult to tell who was the fun
NEST, Leo Hayes as Newlywed, Or
James e. Rosen, who played the dual
role Of the Baby and Major Knot
Mulch Both kept the audience in a
roar Of laughter. George P Murphy,
a waiter, also did some exceedingly
fine comedy work.
Counties Olga Won Hatfield was in
the role Of Mrs. Newlywed She has
been here before but she had a differ
ent vehicle in which to display her
talents. She is an exceedingly bright
as well as pretty woman with a
superb voice AL OF the feminine part
OF the audience kept their attention
centered on the beautiful costumes Of
the countess, which were exquisite.
IN fact, all Of the costumes in the play,
were new, unique and pretty. The
beautiful voice Of the countess was
heard to great advantage in the pretty
songs, "Slumber Ny Little Love" and
"Mamselle Fiji" May Emery and two
or three Of the other women Of the
company have lovely voices
Several Of the young girls in the
ballet were remarkably pretty c2d
with the extremely neat costumes, the
grand effect was made quite pleasing.
The Newlyweds IS entirely different
from the common run of musical
comedies and has more Of plot than
the average. The speaking parts are
new and along original lines
