YUKONER BLOWN TO
 PIECES IN FRANCE

DAWSON.-Robert Fenwick, old time Klondiker, who left here with the Boyle detachment in October, 1914, is reported killed in France. The news comes in a letter from Joe Harkin who left Dawson last June with the Yukon boys under Lieut.. Hulme, and who has been transferred to another detachment at Valcartier, where he is driving a motor truck in the service. Joe writes to his mother, Mrs. Harry HosEYns of Dawson and Glacier, saying:
 "Poor Bob Fenwick was killed in the transport section. He was driving a truck load of ammunition to the front and the Germans concentrated their artillery fire on him. A shell struck his auto, and they never even found the pieces-just a big hole ln the road."-Ex.

SEWARD ALASKA, WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 20, 1916.

When we have lived for some time in Alaska we pay
 little attention to the extraordinary place occupied by the maamute in Alaskan life although the brute pemeaes almost every phase of it. He is to Alaska what the camel is Arabia He is indigenous to the soil of the territory He gives local color to stories of Alaska kangaroo gives tito Australia and long ago Alaska would have prob ably ensbrned him as its national and only beloved bem he were only pretty enough and could conduct him. self with anything approaching gentlIty.
 It is impossible anywhere in the whole length and breadth of the territory to get away from him. Touch at Petersburg or Wrange or Ketchikan for the first time coming north and you hear his chorus Steam down the Yukon river up the Takhu the Tanana any of them and the first intmation you receive that you approaching
 village comes from the Aaamutan to the steam boat whistle. Travel the trail and you either have him along your best friend you must hide your bacon to keep some stray specimen from eating it. Enter modern town and he runs between your legs on the sidewalk
 The malamute is peculiar beast On the trail he is mans best friend He has made the gold discoveries and the consequent development of the territory possible The malamute has opened Alaska to man. The other side of the Maamute however, is that he reacherous wretch Over and over again when he is travelling in packs he has taken human lives. Near the city of Nome few years ago pack almost completely deyoured boy in his teens. But he is not all to blame for this He probably threw the boy down first in play and then no harm in doing the rest He is only dorg.
 In nature he is just like the territory and its Native inhabitants For this reason he is worth studying He is uncutvated type of dog the territory and the terri toryS Natives are uncutvated No three things in this world haonize with such poetic perfection in their three different spheres as the wilder parts of Alaska especially near the mouth of the Yukon and the Native and the ma amute Each of them is possessed of an ucanny peace of exterior and of latent and fatal fercenesS Nothing kill so quickly as the wilderness when becomes arous ed and of the Maamus and Natives the same holds true The Daamute is only indigenous the land but he is part of it. He grows naturally out of it weeds grow out of mcuyated ground Let hope that the coun

AT SPENCER SOTARE.

The famous San Fernando mission,
one of the earliest houses of worship
on the Pacific coast, is shown as Ten
nessee's" early home in the Jesse L.
Lasky production "Tennessee's Pard-
ner," which will be the Paramount
picture at the Spencer Square tomor-
row. This wonderful mission with it's
many rooms and outbuildings, was
built by the Jesuit priests, with the
assistance of the Indians in the early
days of the Nineteenth century. The
plan of this famous order was to erect
these missions one days journey
apart from Mexico to Monterey, and
in the early days, thousands of trav-
elers were welcomed under these
hospitable roofs. The mission of San
Fernando has been abandoned by the
church as a permanent house of wor-
ship, although, occasionally, services
are held between its thick adobe walls
and under its high tiled roof. 1t was
in one of these missions that the little
girl, Tennessee" was brought up by
her pardner, under the guidance OF
an old priest, before being taken to
the little mining town of Sandy Bar.
The cast supporting Miss Ward is one
OF unusual excellence and consists of
such well known artists as Jack
Dean, Charles Clary, Jessie Arnold,
Raymond Hatton, James Neill and
other members of the Lasky all-star
stock company.

SAND COMPANY BUYS
ACRES NEAR OTTAWA

The Moline Sand company has &C
quired % acres of land at the foot of
Buffalo Rock, near Ottawa, with the
expectation of later establishing a
branch Office in that city. The tract
is said to be 80 per cent gravel, which
extends to depth Of about fifty feet
over the entire area. Machinery will
be installed and necessary buildings
erected, probably this spring, and
when the plant is in operation it will
be possible to remove, screen and wash
500 yards of gravel day.
W E. Loptein will be in charge OF
the Ottawa branch, and James P. Pear
son, president of the concern, expects
to make weekly trips there and give
the business his personal attention to
that extent. AS the business develops
and if it is deemed advisable, the firm
will engage in the retail sale Of ice
coal, sand, cement and other prod
ucts which are handled in Moline.
There is no other business Of that
kind in Ottawa, and Mr.. Pearson ex-
presses himself enthusiastically regard
ing future prospects. Ottawa is con-
nected by interurban with a number
of f1ourishing towns in that vicinity
and it is for that reason the logical
purchasing center for that territory.

Partly because he believes that the
silent is step ahead of the spoken
drama, and partly through an intense
desire to see himself as others have
seen him on the legitimate stage, Ed
ward II. Sothern, foremost Shakes
pearean actor on the English speaking
stage today. is the latest to succumb
TO the lure of the once-despised movies.
This is regarded as the most i'm
portant in significance since the
movies began to rival the spoken
drama in interest. Other legitimate
players have deserted the legitimate
under the spell of money lure and
other considerations, but when a man
of Sothern's prominence in theater-
dom consents to appear on celluloid,
the final breastwork of the enemy is
down and the movies can now consider
themselves the conqueror of the legiti-
mate.

New York, where the rollicking farce

houses in gales of laughter in the rec

is, first a clean farce, second, an
overwhelmingly amusing one, and
last, farce with more than mere sit

is with the best of these. 1t has
characterization of the sort that made
Margaret Mayor famous in Baby

STUDENTS SERENADE
COLLEGE PRESIDENT

Rousing serenade was given to Pres
ident G. A. Andreen of Augustana COL
lege early this morning in honor of
his Sind birthday. At $50 the college
band stepped upon the porch at the
presidents home and began playing
martial airs. Soon students were seen
coming from all directions, and by the
time that DR.. Andreen was dressed
and made his appearance the large
porch was nearly filled with college
students, and cheers for "Prexy" were
given. President Andreen responded,
expressing his surprise and pleasure
at the splendid ovation he had receiv-
ed A cordial invitation was extend
ed from Mrs. Andreen for the members
Of the serenading party to return to
the home this afternoon for a cup OF
coffee.
This serenade gives to President
Andreen the same honor which for
many years was given to DR.. Hassel-
quist. For many years during the
life of the late DR.. Hasse1quist it was
the custom to invade his home early
on his natal day and sing songs and
give cheers as an expression of the
love and esteem Of the students.

Climax in the pleasing entertain

half of the week at the Columbia thea
ire, Davenport, is reached in the
classy act which is put on by the
AmorOs Sisters. The French girls
sing, dance and perform on the ira
peze and excel in all their work. Their
offering is filled with new stuff and
does not lag in interest for an instant
The Symphonic seXtet present an I'M
usual musical program. Miss Anna
Mcmahon, soprano, has a splendid
voice which she uses to excellent adj
vantage in the numbers which she
gives, while Miss Wanda Manning is
a talented harpist. Selections which
Henry Walk gives on the monster
sousaphone are especially enjoyable
Cornet, trombone and euphonium solos
are given, in which popular and clas-
steal music is attractively arranged
Comedy comes fast and furious in "A
Jitney Banquet" which is put on by
Morgan and Stuart. 1t is a clever bit
or CAFETERIA life which is presented,
showing a Irritation between an actor
and girl who wants to go on the
stage. The dialogue between the two
as they feast is rich in
real humor 1t is doubted if the Co
lumbia has ever introduced a charac-
ter comedian whose work is making
more Of a hit than Thomas Potter
Ounce. His depicting of Davenport
girl coming home on the "owl car"
from Rock Island is especially good,
while his representation of the little
school girl speaking her first piece,
given in the high, piping voice of child
hood, is worthy of special mention
Juggling Delisle has a lot of new
stunts which he pulls in his act. He
is an expert in his line.

merely social club, and the name
was taken from the Greek word XII
klos," meaning circle. This society
was formed in Pulaski, Tenn, in May,
1866. AS the sorrows of the south,
under the baneful reconstruction acts
began to become unbearable, the Or
ganization changed its character and
the name became popularized as ku

because so many of the original mem
bers were descendants of Scottish
clansmen. The fiery cross Of the Scot
fish Highlanders was again used as
the signal for the call to arms.

DEBATE STARTER
!. OF DRY CAMP A|CN
Hall and Summers Give Their Per.
formance at Illinois Theatre
Heard by Large Audience.

The Illinois Anti-Saloon league fired
the opening gun in the Rock Island
option campaign yesterday afternoon,
with Hall and Summers dialogue-de-
bate, and a full house greeted the
speakers, at the Illinois theatre. Rev.
David A. Johnson, pastor Of the Central
Presbyterian church, presided, the
meeting opening with the audience
singing America"
E. J. Hall Of Colorado was the first
to appear on the platform. He ex-
planned the purposes and plans of he
and his associate, D. c. Summers, and
told of the work they had accomplish
ed in other communities throughout
out the country with their novel de-
bate, and made an appeal for funds to
carry on the fight against the saloon.
He also told of the recent fight in
Ohio and what had been accomplished
in Colorado. He attributed the Euro
pean war to liquor, maintaining that
it's inception was from the murder of
an archduke at the hands of drunk
en- anarchist He also reviewed the
fight in Illinois and its present con-
dition from the standpoint of the drys.
The debate itself was carried on in
very mild-mannered way, Mr.. Sum-
mers taking the part of the license
| commissioner and remaining seated
almost throughout the dialogue, while
Mr.. Hall assumed the rote of sa-
loon keeper. He did not defend the
saloon, but rather gave what he pro-
posed to be an unmasking of the sa-
loon interests and their tactics of
fighting. Mr. Summers maintained the
part of dry partisan who did not do
his duty. Both were forceful, able
speakers, and drove each point home
in way that was both serious and at
times humorous and the question was
argued from many phases.
Orchestra music was furnished at
the opening of the meeting.

CHANNEL FREE FROM
ICE AT THIS POINT

The channel in the Mississippi riv-
er opposite Rock Island is clear, al
though some ice remains close to each
shore and on the sand bar near the
government bridge. The stage of the
river was little affected by the move
ment, rise of only two-tenths of a
foot being apparent. Last year the
ice moved Feb. 16, and in 1914, March
IA
The ice started moving out shortly
before l o'clock yesterday afternoon,
and this morning the channel was free
from floating ice, indicating that the
river above here is clear. The crystal
was in soggy condition and broke up
easily. The cakes are now lodged near
the Crescent bridge, but it is expected
that the ice will move out at this point
before the day is over.
