VIOLINIST WANTS TO
WRITE ALASKA STORY
Does man enjoy life more In the
cities—the man-made world?
Or does he gain more by close
communion with nature—God's
world?
This is the theme around which
Laszlo Schwartz, violinist, composer
and novelist, and student oI human
nature, who has come to Seattle
out of the Northland, is writing a
novel. His purpose is to further ef
forts to strike a happy balance be
tween two worlds so that the man
of the cities will gain by living
a portion of his life in the wilder
ness, and the inau of the wilds will
likewise gain through spending a
portion of his life in association
with his fellow men in the cities.
A native of Hungary, Mr. Schwartx
writes in three languages, Latin,
English and Hungarian. He regis
tered at the Savoy Hotel recently
after spending four and one-half
months in Alaska and the Yukon
gathering material for a novel.
"Alaska is a land of thinkers,"
he said. "I fully believe that from
out of the North will come one of
t'ue leading composers of the next
generation; leaders in literature and
art, too. There are many brilliant
men and women in Alaska — men
and women who combine study of
mankind with study of nature and
have the power of transferring to
the printed page the beauty and
vigor of this great wonderland."
Mr. Schwartz said that Alaskans
generously support entertainments
of any nature and that great re
wards are in store for theatrical
man agers who will book tours for
the North.

LITTLE WANT ADS GET THE BIZ,
Royal Widows
Spend Christmas
On British Soil
London, Dec. 21.—Two dowager
Queens and one Dowager Empress
of Europe, the widows of former
Kings of England and Denmark, and
an Emperor of Russia, are to spend
the Christmas holidays together in
England. Dowager Oueen Louise of
Denmark, widow of King irrederick
VIII., who died in 1912 and Dowager
Empress Maria Feodorovna, of Rus
sia, widow of Emprroe Alexander
III., who died in 1894, will be the
guests of Dowager Queen Alexandra
at Sandringham. Queen Alexandra
Is the widow of King Edward VII.,
who died In 1910. Those who fol
low the annals of royalty say this
is the first time, probably in history
that three widowed Queens have thus
come together.
Maria Feodorovna is a younger
sister of lexandra, and Louise is a
sister-in-law of both. Hence it will
be a family reunion. Maria Feodor
ovna arived in England recently and
celebrated her 75th birthday, Novem
ber 26, as a guest of her sister.
She has been living for the past two
years In Denmark—she was original
ly the Danish Princess Dawrnar—but
she will now remain in England for
several weeks. Queen Louise, who is
71 years old, is expected at Sand
ringham a few days after Christmas.
There will be no public or social
functions in honor of the royal
guests, but during the Christmas sea
son King George and the entire royal
family will spend a few days with
Queen Alexandra and their aunts.
The meeting of Queen Alexandra,
who is 7S years old, and her sister,
will be more or less touching as the
Queen is known to be very distress
ed at the plight of her sister, who
has been rapidly declining in health
since the killing of her son, who was
Emperor Nicholas, by the Bolshevlki
at Ekaterinburg in the summer of
1918.
PORT SEWARD AND HAINES
BASKETBALL TEAMS
TO PLAY FINALS HERE
Skagway basketbal fans are to bo
treated to a basketball game tomor
row, (Wednesday) evening which
should be full of thrills.
Haines and Fort Seward teams
have been playing a series of games
this season, and as the court down
the canal will not permit of all the
possible plays of the game, arrange
ments have been made for the com
batants to flght it out on the White
Pass Athletic club's court.
tl is said that both teams have
been playing good basketball, and
as the teams are in good condition,
it is reasonable to assume that to
morrow's contest will be a fast and
furious one.
An admission fee of 25c will be
collected at the door, and it is quite
likely that a danco will follow the
game.
MASONIC INSTALLATION
The White Pass Masonic Lodge will
hold a special meeting tomorrow,
(Wednesday) night, for the installa
tion of the newly elected officers. A
lunch will be served after the in
stallation ceremony.
All masons in the city will want
to know of this meeting.
The property of the Standard
Salmon Packing Company was sold
under execution last week at Tena
kee where the plant Is located. The
execution had been levied by the
Inland Finance Company, of Taco
rna, for unpaid claims in excess of
$40,000, and that company, repre
sented by H. L. Faulkner, bought in
the property for $15,000. J. H.
Hart appeared for the purchasers
at the sale.
The plant was operated during
the past season by the J. D. Roop
Company and put up a pack of 19,
000 cases.
