TONIGHT AT THE "DREAM" THEATRE
Lowest Type of Man and Highest Type of Monkey.
A few testimonials that tend to show just what people outside say of this
incomparable picture:
Clunes Auditorium, the largest theatre on the Pacific Coast, writes to
the E. & R. Jungle Film Co. as follows: "Your animal subject entitled:
'Beasts of the Jungle.' should take the motion picture world by storm, as it j
is unquestionably the greatest film of this kind we have ever shown."
Grauman's Imperial Theatre. San Francisco^ largest play house, says:
"Wo wish to compliment you very highly on your marvelous animal pro
duction. We consider 'Beasts of the Jungle' the best picture of this kind
ever shown on a screen."
This magnificent picture comes to the Dream Theatre Saturday and
Sunday nights. Entire Lower Floor 25c. Balcony 15c..
This magnificent picture at the Dream Theatre Tonight
and Sunday, 25c?all over the house.
We can't show a 50c show for 25 cents, nor do we
show a 25c-show for 50 cents. But you get more for
your money at THE DREA7VI THEATRE.
NEVA'S GOLD IS
OVER-ESTIMATED]
SEATTLE. March 20.?To the Edi
tor?I note by the Empire and also
by the Post Intelligencer that a wreck
er is to try to raise the old ship Neva
which sank at the entrance to Sitka
Harbor in 1S13. From the accounts
he believes there is about $250,000 in
gold on the ship. This is not likely
the case for it is doubtful if there
was $50,000.00 in gold in the Russian
colonies from first to last of the occu
pation. When Baranof bought the
Juno in 1S05 he paid for in exchange
on the company in St. Petersburg. 31,- j
250 piastres, and in furs. 35.750 pias
tres; a total of 07,000 piastres. The
foreign merchandise bought at Sitka
was generally paid for in fur. When
Hunt went there for Astor in 1812, he
took hid pay in sealskins at the Pribi
lot Islands. The ships then generally
went to China and exchanged for
silks, tea. etc., and went on around
the world. The medium of exchange
in Sitka in 1S05 was printed parch
ment with the Russian American
Company stamp on it. It was the
same in 1S67. The employees were
paid in merchandise as a general rule
and had very little use for money, be
ing usually in debt to the company.
The ruble they used was of a value
of about 20 cents and the silver ru
ble was about SO cents. In 1902 the
company borrowed the sum of 250,
000 rubles for eight years. This
would be only $200,000.00 at SO cents
per ruble, and it is doubtful if they
ever had 250,000 in cash, gold, at one
time, let alone sending it clear to Sit
ka. The salary and premium pay
ments nt Sitka for a year in 1S41
amounted to 120,000 rubles. The full
balance of cash of the company in
1S41 was less than 50,000 rubles.
The Neva is probably the same boat
that Lisianski sailed from Kronstad
in 1S03 and came from Kodiak in
1S04 to help Baranof retake Sitka
from the Indians. He took her back
to Kodiak for the winter and in 1S06
came back to Sitka, then sailed her
10 rvruu^uiu oy izie i.izpf UL uuuu
Hope. Then Hagcmelster brought her
back in 1S08 and then to the Sand
wich Isles and back to Sitka and then
to Russia. She was on her way from
Okhotsk when she was wrecked.
The largest payment of cash I have
noted in the transactions of the com
pany was when Etholin went to San
Francisco in 1823. to buy wheat, he
paid most of the price in fur but the
amout of 5,000 postrcs in cash is
mentioned.
On the ship Neva when she was
wrecked, was Barono-Wolokof, who
was to be the successor to Baranof,
and he. with 3$ others, were drowned.

NOME SENATOR
ARRIVES AFTER
DASHOVER ICE
Thomas McGann, Nome miner, con
queror of ttmo In his race across Al
aska's breadth to attend the Territor
ial Legislature, second session, end
ed his 3200-mile journey at 11.20
o'clock last night, when he, stopped
ashore from the steamship Alameda
and was welcomed by members of the
House and Senate. "I feol fino," ho
said, as he shook hands with his col
league from tho Second Division, and
met other members of the Legislature,
including the reception committee,
"but I'm a little tired, when I come
to think of it," he added.
The intrepid Northerner became
Senator McGann at 10:10 o'clock this
morning, tho oath office being admin
istered by Senator J. M,. Tanner. He
was appointed to a place on tho bank
ing. transportation, election, labor and
capital und roads and highways com
mittees.
Senator McGann was escorted to his |
desk, immediately to the right of the
.secretary's table, and opposite tho
desk of his colleague, Senator Aldrlch.
Record-Breaklng Trip
Senator McGann made now history
for dog-team "mushing" on his long
hike. The 900-mile stretch of ice and
snow between Nome and Fairbanks
was traversed by the hardy solon in
just thirteen days. The former rec
ord for the same distance was held
by Sam Taggart and by Johnnie Heg
no ;. A. A. "Scotty" Allan's best
time for tho trip is said to have been
seventeen days.
Senator McGann used nine dog
teems between Nome and Fairbanks,
tho arrangements for the relays hav
ing been carried out by George B.
Grigsby of Nome and E. Coke Hill, of
Ruby. The latter showed his interest
in McGann's exploit by meeting him
it Ruby, and taking him to Fort
Gibbon, a distance of 139 miles, tho
first SS miles or which were nego
tiated in one day.
While half of the town of Nome
gathered to wish him God-speed and
gcod luck. Senator McGann left his
home on the morning of March 2. He
declares his trip across the ice to Una
laklik to have boon the most severe
portion of the entire trek. He changed
dogs- at Unalnkllk. and drove into
Nulato behind the thoroughbreds from
the Tow Powers kennel. From Nu
! lu:<> to Ruby he drove the dogs of
| P< ? Demosela, a Native. After Coke
Hill had given him his lift he had a
fresh team of huskies to take him to
Minto, where he secured another team
for the final leg of the dog-mush, in
to Fairbanks. He arrived at the in
terior metropolis on the evening of
March 15. On tho following morning
he left Fairbanks in tho Robert Shel
Jon automobile and 3ix days later
reached Cordova, the last 132 miles of
his trip carrying him from Chitina
to tidewater, over the Copper River
road.
Lost Some Time
Senator McGann lost a day on the
trail?during tho time he was not
sleeping. He broke down at Ruby,
and again at Gibbon, for twelve hours
at a time. He had to wait four days
in Cordova for the Alameda.
The stamp of Senator McGann's ex
perience is exopsed on his ruddy coun
tenance, and his features bespeak the
aggressiveness in his make-up thut
served him so faithfully in his nerve
racking jaunt. He said today that
he would not care to duplicate his
! performance for "a few weeks, at
I least."
When Senator Elwood Bruner died
suddenly in California, Gov. J. F. A.
Strong called a special election for
the Second division, to fill the vacancy
in the upper House. Senator McGann
was elected on February 27, by a sub
stantial plurality over George James
and "Andy" Anderson, who were de
feated for places in the Legislature
at the general election last Novem
ber.

von arx sues douglas city
authorities for damages
?4-??
Victor Von Arx, a resident of Doug
las, through his attorney, J. H. Cobb,
ha3 begun suit In district court
against W, A. Shafcr, city marshal
of Douglas, and John Henson, munici
pal magistrate of Douglas, for dam
ages in the amount of $1,000 each.
The complaint charges a conspiracy
on- the part of the defendants to in
jure, harass, humiliate and dlsgraco
the plaintiff, Von Arx. It is alleged
that the defendants went to the home
of Von Arx, assaulted him with a re
volver, placed him in Jail and refused
him bail of a hearing for twenty-four
hours, before a charge was made
against him, all of which worked hu
miliation to his manhood and intense
mental suffering by reason of his nat
ural rights being outraged.
The Douglas city council recently
exonerated its official for criticism in
connection with this matter.
