it was with real regret that he refused

THEATRICAL NOTES.
eBEN-HUR" INTERESTS
NoN-THEATERGoE

Thousands upon thousands of people
who seldom visit a playhouse are
crowding the Chicago Auditorium
nightly to see Ben Hur" The keen
interest they manifest in it's enactment
causes regret that more plays Of this
character are not in existence. Ben
Hur" with its lustrous Star Of Bethle-
hem, its camels and chariot steeds, its
oriental trappery and splendor Of the
gorgeous cast is one of the most elab-
crate spectacles ever staged. and yet
the appeal of General Wallaces re-
ligio- historic romance is not to the eye
and the ear alone, but to the heart.
Through all the scenes of wondrous
beauty. through the vivid portrayal
OF the exciting incidents OF the dawn
of Christianity the plain, simple story
of The Man of Calvary is brought
home with all-compelling force. The
Star Of Bethlehem, the alteration Of the
Wise Men. the heart-throbbing tale
of the meeting of Christ with Hur, the
greetings of the great multitude on the
Mount Of olives and the final miracle
Of the cleansing OF the lepers-these
are some or the incidents Of Ben
Hur" which separate 1t from other
plays and make it in its grandeur
stand apart.
Special attention is being given to
the public of this vicinity who are de-
sirous Of witnessing this mighty play.

SYNOPSIS OF THE ALASKA DELE.
 GATE LAW
Concluded from third page.

Mr. Gale came into the Panama with the first rush and has spent every day since in delving into the earth. Fortune has not yet smiled on him and he is digging now, in his 150-foot hole on Vault creek, with the same energy and determination that characterizes all his enterprises. He is a man 5S years old :; we'll posted, trained and experienced in many walks of life. A resident of Alaska long before the rush to the Panama be- gan, he has had ample opportunity to acquaint himself with the country and the conditions that prevail. Intelligent, far above the average, his fluent and pleasant manner of addressing an audi ence insures to him the admiration and esteem of all who come under it's charm. Though poor financially, he is rich in the association of wisdom, insight and experience. He is credit to the coun- try and We may well be proud of him i; nor will Alaska ever have an opportu- nity to regret the occasion when her people decided to cast their ballot for Tom Gale, the one man in the Panama for whom We all will vote when the time arrives.

NOn.Partisan Movement.

A meeting of the Alaska territorial central committee, which was selected by the Alaska convention at Seattle last November, was called for Skagway May 26 for the purpose of considering the advisability of calling partisan convention to nominate candidates for delegate.
 No quorum was present. The Skag- way Alaskan said only the three com mitteemen of southeastern Alaska were epresented-Charles E. Davidson, of Juneau, and John W. Troy, of Skagway, in person, and J. E. Lathrop, of Ketch- ikan, by proxy. Charles E. Heron, one of the committeeman from the Second division, filed his resignation from the committee, saying in his opinion the best solution of the delegate question is through the political parties.
 The committee did not finally close the question of a non-partisan conven- tion.

 ON THE HOSIANA

Messrs. Swanson and Stickley, two prospectors from the Panama, passed up Sunday on the Sarah, on their way to the Hosiana river. They are outfitted to remain till next spring.
 These men have prospected on the Hosiana before, and know just what locality they will work in. They will % to a creek near the head of one of the lefthand forks.

It drains big territory All prospectors who have gone into the region think we'll of it, and most uf them come out with strong desire to return and continue their explorations.

TREES AND SHRUBS
 WITHOUT ADDRESSES

Last winter Prof. Georgeson, agent in charge of agricultural experiment sta- tions in Alaska, sent out circular letters stating that quantity of fruit trees and shrubs would be sent to people on re- quest. A good many Rampant people sent in acquisitions. In the mail arriv- ing on the Sarah last Friday there was q large number of shrubs, the addresses on which had been worn off. The post master turned them over to Fred F.. Rader at the government experiment station.
 Those who had ordered shrubs would do well to make known the fact to Mir. Rader, so that the matter may be ad- justed to the best possible advantage of every one concerned. It is already time the plants should be set out.
