To Put City
Offices In The
Market House

For years Elizabeth City's num-
cipaI market house has had empty
stalls and has been a constant
worry to the City Fathers who
freely confessed that they had
met their waterloo and did not
know what to do about the stu
alton. Many butchers and fish
dealers flatly refused to 60 into
the building and have run their
markets either In the city or just
outside the city limits.
And now the Market House Com
mittee of which Bascom Sawyer Is
chairman, in a last desperate effort
to utilize the extra space in the
market house, have drawn up plans
whereby the City offices can be
housed in it. They would partition
off a section of the market in the
Southwestern end of the building
and provide offices for the various
city departments, including the
police department. The offices would
face Poindexter street.
Bascom Sawyer is also City Coun-
Gilman from the Fourth Ward, and
will introduce the tentative plans
for the Councils approval at the
next meeting of that august body.
Mr.. Sawyer explains that the city Is
now paying $100 a month to house
the various city offices. He says
that the necessary changes could be
made In the market house for ap-
proximately $1,000; and the city
could save enough in a year and a
half In rents alone to pay for the
changes.
Mr.. Sawyer states that he has
talked the proposition over with
several of the Councilmen who think
1t is a good idea and also many Of
the city officials whose offices would
be in the market house and that
they approve of the idea. 1t Is also
the intention of the Market House
Committee to renovate the whole
building. making it a desirable place
where butchers will be pleased to
have quarters.

SPEEDING WORK
.ON CURRITUCK.
SOUND BRIDGE.
Harrison & Gilbert To Pro-
mote Number of Sporting
Clubs on Kitty Hawk
Beach Property

Work of construction on the
Kitty Hawk bridge between Point
Harbor and Kitty Hawk was
speeded up to-day when the w.
l.. Jones Construction Co., con-
tractors for the structure, put
second pile driver on the job.
Work ha@ proceeded with only one
pile driver, but the completion
of the Knobbs Creek Bridge at
Elizabeth City Wednesday IAN
other Jones job, released an ad-
ditional pile driver for the Kitty
Hawk Bridge.
The piling for more than half a
mile of the bridge over Currituck
Sound has already been completed
and with two pile drivers at work
the entire piling job will be finished
and the bridge ready for It's cross
timbers and decking in a few weeks.
No construction job started In
Northeastern North Carolina in a
long time has aroused more enthu-
siasm. The opening up of the Kitty
Hawk coast country and the assur-
ance of hard surface road all the
way to Roanoke Island fires the
imagination of almost everybody in
the Albemarle Counties. 1t means
that another summer Elizabeth
City, Hertford and Edenton folks
can spend their nights on the sea-
shore, if they so desire, the coast
being within easy motoring distance
of their business in town.
, A promotion that will be watched
with lively interest was started by
Harrison g. Gilbert, selling agents
| for the Kitty Hawk property this
week. They will promote the build
! ing of a number of club houses on
Jean Cutie Creek and Currituck
Sound
Sportsmen in every important city
in North Carolina within an easy
motor ride of Elizabeth City will be
shown the short cut to an exclu-
sive club membership and parti-
cipation in the sports of fishing and
hunting in the Kitty Hawk region
at nominal cost. An attractive
comfortable club house on Curri-
tuck Sound, on site of seven acres.
with a small pier included can be
provided at a cost of s12,500, says
C. w. Harrison. I'VE believe it
will be easy to find groups In cities
like Rocky Mount, Wilson, Colds
boro, Raleigh, Durham, Green's
boro and Winiton-Salem and in
towns nearer home. like Hertford
and Edenton, Williamson. and
Windsor, Ahoskie and Aulander,
who would be glad to enjoy such
club privileges. The low cost of a
seven acre sound shore site and club
building would make membership in
such a club inexpensive. Imagine
the value of a number OF such clubs
to Elizabeth City. Elizabeth City be-
ing the gateway for every clubman."

Fruit Fly Cause of
Females Fattcning

A score or more Elizabeth City
women who went on fat reduction
diet this summer are now piling on
fat because of the Mediterranean
Fruit Fly in Florida. The diet on
which so many plump Elizabeth
City danes and damsels depended
to reduce their weight, called Tor
grape fruit three times day And
now they can't get their grape FRUIT
because of the ban on Florida citrus
crops. 1t is hard OH the plump ones
who find themselves regainlng all
the fat they lost earlier in the sum-
mer, while waiting for the Porto
Rico and California grapefruit to
come on the market this fall.

construction of a new hotel at Mc- Kinley Park Station, which is now park headquarters as well as a sta tion on the Alaska Railroad. When this is done Mckinley Park Station will be designated a division point on the Alaska Railroad. At that time it is expected that travel to the park will be materially increas- ed, since an all-night stop lover will be given and tourists will have an excellent opportunity to see the park during the long evenings that prevail under the Arctic summer sun.
 Pending the installation and con- pletion of these more elaborate fa- cilities the Department has arrang- led to provide informal accommoda- tions at Savage River, which is 12 miles distant from Mckinley Sta ton. Tn all, 38 miles of main road are available from the railroad to Mile 38, and preliminary work has been done on five miles more. A number of interesting saddle horse trips are available from the base camp at Savage River to outlying camps.

PLAN TO SPEED. DEvELOpMEN OF.
 NATIONAL PARK
In terior Department to Rush Opening of Mt.
 Mckinley District

The Department of Interior is planning to speed up the develop ment of Mount Mckinley National Park in this Territory in order that it's unique wealth of animal life and it's magnificent scenery may be easily accessible to the American touring public, says a press an- nouncement just issued by the De- partment.
 Already, it said, construction work on the road across the park to | Copper Mountain, 80 miles from the Alaska Railroad is sufficiently ad- vanced that, by the end of the 1881 season, a modern hotel will be erected at this point from where excellent views of the mountain itself and of the Alaska Range may be had.
 Mount Mckinley is the highest mountain in North America, and in addition has the distinction of ris- ing higher from it's base than any other mountain. Not even the far famed Himalayas rise so far above their own base. Of McKinleys to- tai height of 20,300 feet above sea- level, the greater portion, or about 17,000 feet, rises above timberline and above the tundra-cover pla- teau stretching away on it's north and west. Two-thirds of the way down from it's summit the moun- tain is blanketed in glistening snow, upon which the summer-long sun shine plays with marvellous effect. Great glaciers flow down its south ern and eastern slopes through a region of Arctic sublimity.
 Especially interesting are the great herds of wild animals that roam through the park and that are increasing steadily under the pro- tection afforded them by park au- thirities The caribou with it's large antlers is very picturesque, and roams the great plateau at the base of Mount Mckinley in great herds. Mountain sheep also are found here in great numbers and moose and the great Alaska brown bear often may be encountered. The famous Alaskan grizzly is also in evidence.
 The opportunities for enjoyment of unique conditions affords chee- chako, as the people of Alaska call outsiders, are almost unbelievable

Charlie Murray is in toWnl

Charlie Murray is in toEnl
 For years-even before the gen. ial genius of stage, screen and vaudeville comedy made his debut in split-reel "mirthquakes" of the silversheet, that announcement has had special meaning. To adults, children, folks of all ages and both sexes, it was the equivalent of say ing "The circus is hcrei"
 In "The Head Man" at the Pal ace Theatre, however, there is a new and even more appealing Charlie Murray. The picture, First Nationals elaborate production of the delightfully."- whimsical novel by Harry Leon Wilson, "The Boss of Little Already" is by far the best in which the famous comedian has ever appeared.
 While it is brimful of every sort of fun, from burlesque to whimsy, it is also logical, cleverly y-evolved and very human picture.
