MAE MURRAY APPEARS
 AS MASKED DANCER IN
 ION WITH THE DANCE''

"On With the Dance" tonight's big special attraction at the Empress, is tremendous drama-the story of a Russian dancer in America, full of color, lights and thrills.
 Mae Murray, who made wonderful hit in the Ziegfeld Follies, has the stellar role. She is a veritable spirit of the Dance. AS an immigrant from Russia, she celebrates her first glimpse of the Statue of Liberty by staging a wild dance in the steerage of an ocean liner.
 Later, as the pretty protege of a millionaire, she appears in a gay cabaret as the Masked Dancer"
 AS the pleasure loving girl, sudden ly beset with all manner of tempta- tions, falling, then redeeming herself, and finally working out not only her own salvation and happiness, but that of the lives so closely woven with hers.-Miss Murray has the strongest role of her career.
 A wonderful picture! A big, sensa- tional picture; filled with color, light and action, and withal, the most vividly beautiful thing that has ever been screened. It ranks high among the great picture sensations of the year. Let your expectations reach the top notch, for they will all be realized when you see "On With the Dance," tonight.
 And the following announcement is especially for the youngsters of town: "Huckleberry Finn" is here. The one, only and original Huck. And he's playing Friday night, at the Empress. Everybody sit up and take notice, for when Huck Finn, Mark Twain's immortal young hero, starts in, things are apt to happen right room and lively.

 The groom is a Valdez boy, being raised in the city. During the late war he was one of the first to volun- teer, serving with the engineers in France and later in Russia with Gen. eral Richardson Since his discharge he has been employed with the engi- neers on the government railway. The bride is a former resident of Spokane having been in Anchorage about two years previous to her marriage.

INTERIOR CLUB SAYS TOOSOON
 ENDORSE HEN

FAIRBANKS, Jan. 12. - The Fair banks Republican Club held a largely attended meeting at Eagle hall, at which an attempt was made to put club on record as favoring the ap- pointment of c. H. Clegg as district judge, but the motion to indirse At torney Clegg was defeated by very narrow margin. Those opposing the motion took the stand that it is too early to indorse applicants for office and further, that the matter of in dorsement should be left to the di- visional committeeman.
 For his efforts on behalf of the citizens to make the stay of the fliers in Fairbanks pleasant and in- structive, Mayor Wilbur has received the following letter from the war de- partment:
 My dear MT. Wilbur:

All members of the expedition are emphatic in voic- ing their appreciation of the many courtesies extended to them while in your city.
 Will you please extend my thanks to those of your citizens who took the most active part in making ne- cessary preparations for the flight to stop at Fairbanks.
 Very truly yours, CHAS. T. MENOHER, Major General, U. s. A., Chief of

Your Garden Now.

This is an off-season in the garden.
This years garden is about done
for: next years garden isn't yet in
view. In October and November we
can clear away the debris Of this year;
we can put In bulbs for next year.
But there isn't much to do now.
Not much. But we can plan. And
1t Is good time to plan.
To begin with. take careful note
now of the shade situation. 10 there
too much shade in one corner, not
enough in another? You can't tell
this in the spring. Unleafed shrubs
never can be visualized as shade CIV
ing. And trees that are only a lace
work of thin twigs against the sky
never can be conceived Of a. q cano.
py overhead.
So. if you have too much shade,
plan to transplant some Of the shrubs
before another summer. It is often
even advisable to plan to cut down
tree. Trees are precious, to be sure,
but many of US have gone through
life in a too-shaded house because we
hesitated to cut down one Of our trees
One thing to do is this: II you do
feel compelled for the sake Of more
sun to cut down tree. plant a little
one some place else where shade is
needed.
If there Is too little shade, plan
next year to have shrubs where they
will give little shade, and put in 4
tree where eventually it will give
much shade.
All this can be advantageously done
just at this time.
