GUESTS OF GOVERNOR
AND MRS. BONE ENJOY
PICTURES OF BIG GAME
One of the most Interesting films
ever taken of big game was enjoyed
by the guests of Gov. and Mrs. Scott
C. Bone when shown the picture
^ “With Earl W. Rossman in the Af
rican Jungle,” at the Coliseum thea
tre yesterday afternoon. About 125
guests were present.
The picture was taken in South
Africa several years ago by Eajl W.
Rossman of New York, clnemoto
grapber, who la in Juneau' on a year's
trip in Alaska, making a picture or
the country and its people. Most
of the scenes were taken in natural
colors, the process being the work
of years by Mr. Rossman. The pic
tures were taken by Mr. Rossman
and the titles, which were versatile
in style in adaptation to each scene,
and were very clever, were also
written by him.
Pictures of almost every kind of
big game in that country, and the
killing of game were shown. In
several of the scenes, one a herd of
buffalo, when it was impossible tc
get closer than within a mile, on
account of the danger, a telephoto
lens was used, showing the animals
at close range.
The picture is the result or
' months of danger and strenuous
work, in the heart of the jungle.
Mr. Rossman was accompanied by
an experienced hunter and the pic
tures are proof of the daring cour
age required of the men and theli
native guides in allowing the wild
animals to come within close ;ange,
that a good picture might be ob
tained.
Pictures of the people of fir.uth
Africa and their customs and scenes
of the coast and the veldt we r also
shown.
Before the African pictures were
thrown on the screen three scenes
of Governor Bone, taken last week,
were shown, by himself, with his
office force and W. J. Lelvers of
Winter & Pond and with Mr. Ross
man. The pictures were greeted
with applause by his guests. A
abort reel of Taku Glacier, taken
several years ago and owned by L.
V. Winter, of Winter & Pond, was
also shown.
It was expected that the pictures
taken of the guests of Dr. and Mrs.
H. C. DeVlghne at the Taku River
Camp Sunday last, by Mr. Rossman.
would be ready for the screen but
because of lack of facilities Mr. Ross
m«m wga unable to finish them.

| Are you fair
I to your watch?
An automobile n«d< frequent
attention. What about your
watch—a mechanism infinite
r iy mart delicate?
CARBON in the motor of •
car will decrease the running
efficiency of that car. And
yet the carbon will accumulate.
The car owner, knowing this, has
his car frequently overhauled—
and the carbon removed.
And yet this same man, per
haps, will allow his watch, a
mechanism infinitely more deli
cate, to run for years without
attention. All the while it is ac
cumulating dust—for tiny dirt
particles will sift in through the
most tightly fitting case-and this
will in time impede the timekeep
ing performance of the watch.
Your automobile performs oc
casional service, but your watch
has to run continouBly for a full
twenty-four hours each day.
Look at your watch. How long
has it been since you took it to
a jeweler for examination?
If your watch is to run at ltd
highest efficiency, it should ba
cleaned, oiled and adjusted at
least once a year—before the last
particle of oil has disappeared
from the bearings.
Our Service Department ia
well equipped to make any re
pairs and adjustments that may
be necessary.
And while you are in, we par
