_ The

the sereening
of ‘‘His Highness”
which was indeed
a
very classy
film.
It
being -also
the

of

of

amusement
‘we beg
to congratulate
the

Svendsen
and
wish
"
them
many
years
of
success
in
their
~
efforts
to- entertain
the
public
of
this

island.
The
worthiness
of
all they
have
- achieved:
in bringing
the
theatre
to
its
present
state
of perfecticn
is enly
too
evident
and
now
they
have
extended
their
activities
to other
parts
of the
is-
land
we are
~ure
the feeling
of goodwill
and
cooper
.ion
they
deserve
will
be
general.
The Navy Band will aggin render
some
fine music
in the bandstand
this
evening
which
will
be
the

concert,
as
the
company
returns
to

We therefore take this opportunity
of thankirg Bandmaster
Adams
and his
men for the entertainment
and
life they
have afforded
St.

during the past
week and as
usual
wish
to
assure
them
that it has been
a
great
pleasure
to have
them
here with

they
have
passed
their time agreeably
and will take
back pleasant

In-Order Before Trip.
Before
l-aving

Alaska
President
Harding set
all
his
financial
affairs
in
order,
as though
he feared
the
po-=siblli-
ty of a sad ending
to that
trip.
He
had
arranged
to seil
his
newspaper
property
and
the final
negotiations
were
put
throuch
in June,
by
whiclr
he
received
$123,000
for his share
in the
newspaper,

In 1921 he
had
scld
the
house
he
10r-
mearly occupied
in
Washingten,
at

for
$50,000.

The late President
had

proper
y
in Marion, including the old farm,
which
he had purchased
as
a family estate,
and
where
ke hoped
to end
his
days.
These
proverties
are believed to be worth about
$2.0,000.
He
also
owned
coasilerable
b ink and industrial
stocks,
so
that
the
estimate $750,000,
of the
total
value
of
his estate
is considered
conservative,

Although

increas:d
from 32,000,000
to

tle
comparison
of tiade
figures

are misleading,
becanse
of
the
fact
that
