IF ALASKA BUYS TWO
 FINE SKAGWAY CORNERS

Two important documents were placed on file in the office of the Skagway recording district this morning the ultimate result of w;dch, will have an immediate ten dency toward the prophesied sud- den revival of business in this city. The documents referred to are the deeds which convey the title to the corner lots technically described as Lot l2, Block 3, situated On the northwest corner of Broadway and Sixth avenue, having a frontage of 50 feet on Sixth avenue and 100 feet on Broadway, and the north 40 feet, g inches of lot 6, Block 24, situated at the southeast corn CT of the same streets, with a front age of 50 feet on Sixth Aye, and 40 feet g inches on Broadway, Go the Bank of Alaska. There was q third deed placed on file which al- so conveys title to the Bank of Alaska, of the east 34 feet of lot s, block 23, which is the parcel of land immediately west of Elks hall, facing on Sixth Avenue.
 The first and last pieces of property mentioned were conveyed to the bank by Phil Synder, while the other piece was formerly owned by Phil Abrahams.
 In securing this property the Bank of Alaska has secured some Of the best property in the buSi- ness district of Sl1agway. Lot 6, block 24, is occupied by the old Mondamon hotel, while the other corner is that which is immediately north of the Alaskan building.
 When questioned relative to the building, which the Bank of Alas ka proposes building here, Presi- dent Stevenson was unprepared to state which of the two corner To-

 The committee on trails, after personally Investigating the cOndi- tims that now exist, will make q report and recommendation to the assembled body. They find that the trails, at the present time, are in very dangeroua condition and net safe for pedestrians to travel over
 Other committees, which have in- yestlgated their field, will report t5 the club. Committeeman have been very enthusiastic in their work and at loss of time and money to
 make these investigations. The Commercial Club is right on the verge Of starting in on q prosper
 ous and successful year-but the work cannot be left to one or two individuals, as has heretofore ex- itel. It is the duty of every
 citizen to be present at this meet
 ing and voice his opinion. Action will be taken and you will be ex- pected to cooperate with that &C., | tion. Are you willing to sacrifice
 few minutes of your time and be present at this meeting? The meet
 ing will be called promptly at eight o'clock. Now that We have start
 ed let Us stay together in the
 movement of making Skagway the

 work in harmony for the accom-
 pIishment of making our city beau

| catiohs would be chosen for the site of the new edifice. If the corn CT adjoining the Alaskan building is selected, then the building will, in all probability, be two stories in height, while if the corner now occupied by the old hotel is chosen, tho building will be but one story but will be of greater floor dimen- sion
 The Alaskan was shown a sketch Of the front elevation of the pro posed building which has just been forwarded by Colonel w. '. Steven son, head of the Hargraves Engi- neering Company, which Organiza- tiCn will supervise the erection of the new structure. It portrays Q very beautiful and substantial build ing of the straight Doric style of architecture, and it will be of re- inforced concrete with the smooth san" finish of the most modern ana fire proof type.
 Just when the directors of the bank will decide upon the location o' the bank, Mir. Stevenson was not prepared to state when seen 'his morning, nor was he able to state just when the work of cree ton would begin, but it is presumed that there will be no delay, as he expressed himslf as being anxious to get into permanent quarters.
 In speaking of the purchase of the property, Mir. Stevenson stated that the bank held options on sev- eral other pieces of property in Skagway, prominent among which was the west 25 feet of lot II, block 8, which is now occupied by Fire Hall No. l. This property is owned by Lee Guthrie, and if the hank takes it, they will be required 70 nave the fire house.

BRANDEIS HELPED
BY PROTEST FILED
BY TAFT AND ROOT
SENATORS RECALL BOOTS AC-
TIvITY TO SAVE TAFT FROM
SCANDAL IN THE BALLINGER
INCIDENT.
BY gibson GARNER.

Washington, March 25.-The case
of Louis D. Brandeis has been helped
rather than hurt by the Taft-Root
protest. Root was member of the
joint congressional committee which
sat to try the Ballinger case, and
worked hard to save TAFT from the
exposure which Brandeis at that time
drove to a successful conclusion.
These facts were recalled by SEN
ators who received the Taft-Root pro-
test.
Taft has a personal grievance
against Brandeis. AS president and
sponsor for Ballinger, he. was the
real defendant in the Bsllinger-Pin-
chot investigation. That guilty was
the verdict rendered by the public,
was shown first by the fact that the
Republican majority was overturned
in the house in the middle of the Taft
administration, forcing Ballinger to
resign rather than face threatened
impeachment charges, and later the
verdict was driven home by the eight
electoral votes of Vermont and Utah
received by Taft at the following cleo
ton.
Taft and Root might have forgiven
Brandeis for helping Pinchot save the
public's coal lands in Alaska, and the
power sites which Ballinger wanted to
restore ia entry; what they do not
forgive was the relentless manner in
which Brandeis brought out the fact
that President Taft and Attorney
General Wickersham had been parties
to the manufacture of evidence calcu-
lated to mislead the public and the
conmittee-the preparation Of doc
ument which never had existed, but
which the president had claimed was
! the basis of his action in "exonerat-
ing" Secretary Ballinger. This was
the famous "Wickersham summary
of evidence in the Ballinger case
which, when it became evident that
congress would investigate the case
was written by Attorney General
Wickersham some time in November
or December, 1909, and dated back to
September IL, 1909, by Taft's orders.
y Brandeis not only exposed this piece
of deception, but also forced the pro
duction of that other famous docu.
ment, the "Lawler memorandum
prepared by Oscar w. Lawler, a sub
ordinate of Ballinger in the interior
department, and used by Taft in max
ing up his letter generating BALM
ger. It was thus proved that Taft
instead of giving judicial considera
tion to the evidence himself, had as
signed Ballinger's subordinate to pre-
pare an opinion of Ballinger's con
duct. The publication of these fact
left Taft in such position before TIL
public that he has never been able t
forgive Brandeis for the exposure. Fo
these reasons, the senate is expecte,
to give little weight to the ex-presi
dents opinion. It is evidently TAT
and Root who lack the judicial tenn
permanent" not Brandeis.

Attest:
At the Opera House.

Mere prettiness is so common to
the screen as to attract no special at
tention, but beauty ravishing in its
perfection of features and figure, is
more than unusual on the screen,
stage or in real life. AT
the Opera House on Tuesday,
May Is, Miss Kitty Gordon will make
her first screen appearance in the
Wbrld Film Corporations big produc-
tioa of las in Looking Glass;" and
the patrons of this theatre may come
on that date confident that they are
to see the most perfect Photographic
INSTALLATION of unparalleled beauty
ever filmed.
For many years Miss Gordon has
been known as one of the few real
beauties of the stage But there are
many types Of beauty, and of these
there are few that survive the mex
orable eye of the motion-picture cam
era and reappear on the screen with
out loosing some OF their points OF
charm. Miss Gordon, however, has
proved to be so perfectly adapted to
notion picture requirements that her
appearance on the screen is one Of
ravishing, Intoxicating loveliness. So
perfect in face and figure does this
noted British beauty appear in her
first picture that her management en-
proclaims its belief that
motion-picture patrons throughout
the world will instantaneously re
ceive her as the "loveliest woman on
the screen
The story of GAS in a \ Looking
Glass" deals with diplomatic intrigue
i'm fashionable Washington society.
There is a succession of sensationally
dramatic scenes, throughout which
Miss Gordon is given every opportun-
ity to display her remarkable dra-
matte powers as we'll as bewilder-
ing array of gowns and hats.

as F. Lumsden Hare, Frank Gold
smith. GLADDEN. James, Teddy Samp-
