Elmendorf's Lecture.

Around the Mediterranean" Dwight
Elmendorf's second traveltalk in his
current course, was presented yester-
day afternoon at the New National
Theater before an audience large as
to numbers and responsive in the mat
ter of laughter and applause
Though the journey extended from
Funchal to the Holy Land, the lee
turer was never too hurried to pause
for an anecdote incidental to the people
or place visited, or to linger at some
garden or wayside to vision the floral
wealth for which it's section is famed.
Dalmatia, Monaco. the Sphinx, Jeru-
salem and other tourist beaten points
were described and pictured with a
vividness that gave to each the fresh
ness of untrodden ground, and to these
were added out-of-the-way pilgrim
ages which showed new scenes and Gus
toms and types. 4 tragic realization
was depicted in a panorama of men.
homes at the first seething outburst of
lava and flame, and other films gave
new impressions OF the ruins at Baael-
bek, the promenading centers of the
Riviera. and of the last flower carnival
at Nice.
In combining his experience as a
traveller with the charm of a raconteur,
Mr.. Elmendorf added also to his lee
ture knowledge of art which en-
abled him to color, in natures own
tones, a number of views-scenes, fig
ures. flowers and marines.

SOMETHING ABOUT
 NEWEST CITY OF
 COOK INLET REGION

ANCHORAGE. June G. Anchorage the coal terminal for the Matanusso coal fields, owes its birth and pelns primarily to the great Alaska govern mcnt railway project now ID course Of construction. Anchorage enjoys the distinction of being the starting point Of lhia huge commercial enter priso, which means go much toward the opening Of the dormant minlns and agricultural resources along its prospective course in the Yukon rlyer'
 Anchorage is now little better than To city Of tents, although there arc several preteutious wood structures This inchoate state of affairs is duo to lhe fact that tho permanent town site recently selected by agents or the land department, Is not ayailaoie Co the public, and will not be- in an probability before another sixty days.
 The present status of Ancnorage' which reached almost to the limits Of city within month after tho railway work was inaugurated' speaks volumes for the enterprise, faith and abounding activity of the inhaDitants Nearly all lines of business are here represented Living expenses are no greater than in the coast towns of AL aska.
 The permanent townsitc is located across Ship Creek from the present townsite. It is a beautifully situated place. with frontage both on the wa ters of KniS arm and Ship Creek. Opened to location under proper aus pices and conditions, as now seems highly probable, there is no reason to doubt that Anchorage will evolve into one of the important commercial centers Of Alaska This view is ac. cepted by business and professional men and people generally now living here Given the coal terminus, and logic and common sense agree that it shall become such, the future of Anchorage is assured.
 A statement over the signature of Commissioner Mears which appears lin another column, foretells some thing of the Commissioners plans with regard to Anchorage. In it. he speaks Of a terminal coal site. which comprebends extensive harbor im- provements at the mouth of Ship ! Ship Creek; machine shops, yardage facilities, residences for permanent ! employees. etc. These plans we are informed, will be worked out in due tme.- Cook Inlet Pioneer)
