urday Night

The Hippodrome theatre in Jules
burg re-opened last Saturday night
with a large crowd in attendance.

er, which no doubt prevented a num-
Der in the community from attending,
as Saturday was one of the most dis
agreeable days this section has ex-
perienced for several months.
"The Great Moment" a Paramount
production and a HaroldsLloyd com
edy constituted the opening bill, and
from the numerous comments the
writer has heard, the show went over
big, the large audience being well
pleased with the initial entertain
ment. The new management appar-
emily is highly encouraged with the
splendid patronage. 1t is convincing
evidence that the people of Julesburg
and community really want a picture
show.
On Tuesday and Wednesday even
ings of this week large crowds again
attended the Hippodrome and wit
messed that high-class Paramount
film production Fools Paradise"
which entertainment was in keeping
with the promise of the new manage
inent to show nothing but high grade
pictures.
Tonight Thursday and Friday ev-
enings. March 9Th and 9th, the big
Paramount production, "Get-Rich-
Quick Wallingford" and a Harold
Lloyd comedy is on the program at
the Hippodrome. You want to go
prepared to laugh as sure cure for
the blues is promised.
Next Saturday night, March 10th,
for the one night only.-the entertain
ment will be "The Great Imperson-
ation," the mystery Paramount pic
ture, which is full of thrilling stu
atoms. In addition to the feature
there will also be another Harold
Lloyd comedy at this show.
Following an intermission of Sun
day and Monday, next Tuesday and

be on the program, and in addition
there will be the Pathe News. Then

er Paramount production, which will
be shown at the Hippodrome Thurs

there's many more high-class enter
tainments coming which should meet
the approval of those who enjoy good

over good show, and if the people
of Julesburg and community want
moving picture theatre, they now
have the opportunity to express their
desires with their patronage. The
popular prices of twenty-five cents

Edgar Leuth.
Great interest was taken in the
contest, which is complete evidence of
the thorough manner in which the ad-
vertisements were read and the bar

prize the judges took into consider
alton the manner in which the reasons
were stated why the bargains were the
best, as was previously announced

and not take just one special bargain,
and the judges endeavored to use all

Lopp of much minor detail work connected with ne office in the way of red tape, Wagner is taking over some of the duties previously performed by Lopp thus making il possible for the lat ter to give much more of his time to work of more importance than the routine work of the office. Ac- cording ito Mir. Dupertus. plan was formulated before the change of Lopp's office to Anchorage. whereby all officials would be removed to Anchorage, this did not meet with the approval of Supt. Lopp. and he submitted to his superiors informa- tion showing the necessity of main- taining an office in Seattle. and re- commenting that if his Lopp's) office was in Anchorage, it would ia cilitate the Bureaus work to great extent in Alaska. and the re suit was the change of the office as mentioned.

BONER ARRIVES FROM
 MAIDEN TRIP TO BARROW

The Bureau of Education ship Boxer arrived in Nome roadstead Wednesday night from her first trip to Point Barrow with Captain Whit lam in command. Supt. Lopp of the Bureau of Education was passen- ger on the Boxer, making a tour of inspection of the different schools turnout northern Alaska.
 The Boxer will sail from Nome for Shjshmaref where she will finish discharging her cargo which was in terrupted by storms on her trip down. From Shishmaref the vessel will proceed to the Little Diomede Island where she will discharge cargo and Charles Manedelook will go ashore and take mp the duties of teacher for the coming year. After completing her duties at the Little Diomedes the Boxer will go to St. Lawrence Island, and if the weather permits will take on cargo of Rein deer meat. and after calling at Nome will then head for Seattle.
 On account of bad weather the Boxer was unable to load any rein deer on her trip down from Barrow, and the possibility of being caught in the ice had she remained longer in the northern waters made it inn nossible for the ship to wait longer for the storms to subside sufficiently to load any reindeer.
 Peter Wander Steere is at Barrow where he will teach school for the Bureau of Education during the en- suing year.
 Supt. Lopp seemed well pleased with the schooner Boxer in execut- ing the duties assigned her on this trip. and also expressed himself 2s heinz pleased with the different places visited while in this part of Alaska. Supt. Lopp is working to increase the Reindeer and the herds, and is working especially for the management of the herds and also to increase the sale of the surplus reindeer meat. According to Jean Dupertuis. who is Superintendent of the local Bureau and who was pas senger on the Boxer to Shishmaref and return. Supt. Lopp has many plans which will undoubtedly be complete and placed in operation next year.
