Should it become necessary for the Alaska railroad to make use of Curry next winter and in the winters to come as an overnight division point, as was done prior to the inauguration of the through train service, travellers will be provided with the best of hotel ac- commodations. The contract already has been let for the construction of a modern combination hotel and depot building, at a cost of approximately $50,0O0.
 Contractor Bartley Howard, who is in charge of the work of building the Nenana depot, will build the Curry hotel and depot, and plans to start work on the structure within a very short time, so that the building will be ready for occupancy during the fall. Some of the materials and fixtures will be shipped to Curry from Chicka- loon where there are several govern ment buildings unoccupied at pres ent as the result of the suspension of coal mining activities in that locality. The buildings are to be partially dis mantled, but left in such condition that they can be restored to useful ness on short notice.
 MT Howard is in Anchorage now to arrange for the starting of work on the new structure.

The Seward Investment Corporation was recently organized by the cleo tion of Wm. H. Whittlesey, Aaron E.. Fucker and l. Waugh as the first board of directors. Wm. H. Whittle- sey is president of the corporation and A. B. Rucker, secretary.
 The corporation has acquired con siderable valuable property in Seward and plans are now being formulated for the erection of a large modern hotel. With the increased tourist and general travel through Seward it is believed that such a hotel will pay large returns on the money invested and will also be an asset to the town by affording a chance for a longer stay of travellers in Seward because of the accommodations offered.

Very truly yours,
HUNTS THEATRES, INC,
W. C. Hunt, President.

The above letter was received by
he Post Commander on Tuesday,
and of course the offer has been ac-
cepted. The manager of the Hunt S
Theatres. Maurice Stanford, is a Le-
eionaire and a member of the Wild
wood Post, and is working hard for
the success of the opening night.
AS the president of Hunts Theatres
states it is a big job and a very
worthy cause 1t is estimated that IL
will cost from six to eight thousand
dollars. A suitable location has been
found in the Holly Beach Yacht Club
and all the Legion needs now is sup
port.
"Bill" Hunt, the president of Hunts
Theatres, has rightly been named big
Hearted Bill" Do you realize h
this means to this corporation. 1t will
draw the people from the other three
theatres and will approximately be a
loss to them of 100000. They are
willing to sacrifice this. Now it is up
to you. Will you sacrifice 80 cents to
help this along and see a good show?
Sure you will. 1t is no sacrifice. You
will get your moneys worth anyhow.
We all know the worth of a Hunt
show, and Bill says this will be a good
one, and believe me he knows. Tick
cts will be on sale shortly and we
know you will want a couple. The
Regent only seats 1000, so you had
better get your tickets early. We ex-
pect them from all over the county.
Well, this is all the dope we have this
week. Don't forget the date-Thurs-
day, June 29th. Everybody meets at
Hunts Regent Theatre that night.

duced to a size convenient to handle.
Five classes of roads are shown on the
map: the concrete and bituminous
roads of the State Highway System /;

OCEAN FRONT co. BUYS VALU'
ABLE CORNER PROPERTY

A real estate deal of more than or
binary interest was put through last
week when the Ocean Front Co., OF
wildwood, took title to that desirable
plot of ground, 200 K 100 feet, at the
northwest corner of Oak and Atlantic
avenues, adjoining the Dayton Hotel.
The purchase was made of the Philip
P. Baker Estate. While 40 figures are
given out for publication, it is reason
ably certain that the price paid (all
CASH. did not exceed the sum of
SIT, 900.
Thomas S. Goslin is president of the
Ocean Front Co.; John Bright is sec
rotary and treasurer; the other three
members of the firm are DR.. S. Dixon
Mayhem, Adolph B. Andersen and
Winchester Bonham.
The purchase was made, ostensibly,
for speculative purposes; but 1t is
rumored that if the company does not
dispose of this tract at a fair margin
of profit within a reasonable time,
plans may be arranged for building a
series of stores and apartments
thereon. The frontage on Atlantic
avenue is 100 feet, the depth OF Oak
avenue is 200 feet. The price per foot
front is thought to have been $17O.
The Ocean Front Co. was organized in
1912. 1t is surmised that an offer OF
$40, 900, to-day, for this corner would
hardly prove tempting to these shrewd
spectators, but a $25 900 bait might
set them nibbling.

he served in various local life saving
stations. About 20 years ago he

death. His sons name was Howard
r. Buck, and his widow was Miss
