MANY RA|LRROAD RUMORS R|FE
 AT SEWARD

The Seward Gateway is kept on the move these days running down rali- road rumors, the latest being a yarn to the effect that the government had bought out the Copper River & North. western railway, of which that paper says:
 As an example of what we are to expect from this time forward the following true story is heaven sent;
 Chief Magistrate Amy of the town of Seward, incorporated, came to the Gateway office during the noon hour today saying that a telegram had ar rived stating that the government had purchased the Copper River and Northwestern railroad. Asked for his authority he named City Attorney Lindley Green and to prove his own sincerity he went and brought Judge Green to the office. Judge Green said he had got hte story from Sydney Anderson, cashier of the bank of Sew ard, but Mir. Anderson, on being seen, said he got the story from T. w. Hawkins, banker and merchant. Run ming it down still further it was found that Mir. Tecklenburg of the Seattle Bar had seen the telegram and that he had gone to the Gateway office to see if this paper had information that tallied with what he seen. However, Mir. Teckdlenburg on being interview ed said that he had not seen the tele- gram but that someone had come in and told his bartender that such a telegram had arrived. "I think tis a hoax" said he and he was sure right.
 As a sequel to the story; It had scarcely been written when Sam Graef called up the office and said that some one had called him up to say that Joe Morris had received a telegram from Bill Devine saying that the govern ment had brought the railroad at Cor dova and was going to run the road from Chitina to the Matanuska. First heard about it" said Joe when he was asked, Then came message to the office saying that Gus Borgen stated that Judge Green had received the telegram, but the Judge had already entered a plea of not guilty with prima facies evidence. The next man who comes with a story like that will die in his tracks.

CORDOVA DOING GOOD
 WORK IN WASHINGTON

Maurice D. Leehey writes to say that Cordova has accomplished much better publicity work in the effort to get the government railroad than Seward. The sister city has gone in closely, he says, to all the facts and can show every ounce of tonnage that that could be procured on the Copper Rive route. While he was in Wash ington he learned that the Cordovans were laying particular stress on the supposed fact that the Susitna could offer only agricultural possibilities Seward Gateway.

DETAILS WEDDING WELL KOWN
 COUPLE

The following account of the we'd ding of W. E. Dunkle, the mining ex- pert connected with the Guggenheim operations in Alaska, to Miss Florence Hull, a former resident of Kennecott, is taken from the Oberdin (Ohio) Fri bune of December 25:
 "A very pretty wedding took place Wednesday afternoon at the home of the brides sister Mrs. Badger, when Miss Florence Hull, daughter of the late Judge l.. Hull, of Sandusky, be- came the bride of MT. Werley Earl Dunkle. son of J. w. Dunkle, a prom inent attorney of Pittsburg.
 "The bride wore a gown of white six net trimmed with white satin and carried brides rosses and lilies of the valley. The rooms were beautifully decorated with smilax and poinsetta.
 "The marriage was perfoomed by an uncle of the bride, Rev. John Henry Hull, of Kent. The bride was given away by her uncle, J. A. Barber. The ceremony was performed at o'clock in the presence of only the immediate relatives and friends, about twenty two being present. J. w. Dunkle, of Pittsburg, was one of the guests.
 "The bride was presented with a handsome silver dining set, china ware and other gifts.
 "The bride Is a graduate of Oberlin College with the class of 1908. MT. Dunkle is a graduate of the mining department of Taie University, also of the class of 1908. He is consulting engineer of the Alaska Syndicate. He met Miss Hull two years ago at Ken necott, where she was employed in the Guggenheim office.
 "Mr. and Mrs Dunkle left that ev- ening on a wedding trip through the eastern states. The early part of February they will leave for Cordova where they will make their home"

They were too busy to make any distinc- tions, and the result was that Irving got one hand pretty badly chewed up.

"FRECKLES" BY POLL
 PLAYERS NEXT WEEK

Remarkable for several reasons is "The Shepherd King" which is being presented successfully this week by the PoH Players. The play is nota ble both for splendor of scenery and costumes. It follows the Biblical story dealing with the lives of David and Saul, Jonathan, Goliath and the witch of Endor. The characters are DOT trayed most cleverly by the players, in spite of the fact that such a pro- duction as this had always been con- sidered almost beyond the possibilities of stock companies. The Shepherd King starts with David as a youth and ends with David crowned king of Israel. The transition of the sim- pie shepherd boy, who is taken from his flock in the fields to become the supreme leader of a willing people, depicts scenes of wonderful grandeur The scene in the palace when David first asserts his power furnishes a re- markable climax and is most impress sive.
 Next weeks production to be pre- sented by the Poli Players will be "Freckles," the charming creation of Gene Stratton-Po originally pro- duced by A. G. Deiamater. This is a play that appeals at once to ones sense of humor. but no less to one's sympathies. The production will be popular with Hartford audiences. who have a liking for a play with plenty of adventure, action, love and heart interest

 Writing in the Chicago Herald, Miss Louella Parsons delved into an an- alysis of Miss Bara and in part she wrote: Her hair is like the serpent locks of Medusa, her eyes have the cruel cunning of Lucretia Borgia, till now held up as the worlds wickedest woman, her mouth is the mouth of the sinister, scheming Delilah, and her hands are those of the blood-bathing Elizabeth Bathory, who slaughtered young girls that she might bathe in
