The trip up to the mouth of Nizina was made in seven days record time. Sour Dough cabins were reached on the evening of the 18th inst.
 The Bonanza outfit, consisting of Messrs Davidson, Bill and Jack Williams and Clyde Crenshaw ar rived at the lower Bonanza cabins on the 24th, They say that they have had enough Tasnuna in theirs to last a decade.
 Ocha Pott e., Ed Mitchell, Bill Westlinger and Young Tw eedon, with the Donohoe Barrett supplies and assay outfit, delivered thelr freight at John Barretts cabin on the 18th, and left the same day fol Potter's property on the Chitty- stone.
 Jack Smith, the discoverer of the Bonanza mine, with his partners Oscar Heglund and Oscar Saal are camped on the copper claims which they discovered last fall al the head of Mccarthy creek.
 Peter Erickson broke through the ice in the Nizina Canyon and on emerging declared that it was the most water he had seen for a long time.
 John Bloomqnist, foreman of the Great Northern Development Co.'S. holdings on the Kennicott, arrived at his cabin by dog team from the Kotsina on the 11th. He found that Peter Peterson, who had remained in as caretaker dur ing the winter, had frozen one of his feet, and that Frank McKen- na, one of the Bonanza outfit, had amputated the end of one of Peter sons toes with a horse clipper.

It was formerly their intention to go via the mouth of the kotsina, but owing to the outbreak of glacier jam or lake the entire kotsina river was cleared of ice, making it impossible to sled through the canyon from it's mouth. Although the upper part of the stream is all open there are bars on each side of the river, and owing to this fact the progress of all other outfits was not checked in the least

The BeIasco-The Arden Players In
"The Private Secretary

G. II. HawTey's farcical comedy, The

night AT the Belasco Theat@r. by the ca

OK AR Arden. II was a notably success

company acquitted himself in way to
deserve praise Tor individual work But in
a play Of this sort teamwork is what is
needed. and drill. and both Of these
necessities had been attended 10, so that
the rsqid-fre dialogue, the quick change
of situations. the h1arlty. the boisterous
fun were all given their proper value and
served 20 keep the audience in roars OF
laughter an the evening.
The Private Secretary" Is one Of the
few comedies that retains its old-tme
flavor Of puugeut fun. Much Of the fun is
iu the dialogue in the form Of puns and
plays upon words, but much more Of 81 Is
I'm the absurd situations which the nephew
Of his uncle young Cattermole, gets cv-

The CoIumbia-A Good Revival of
"The Maneuvers of Jane"

Before an audience which taxed fully
the capacity of the playhouse. the Column
ba Stock Company appeared last night in
"The Maneuvers of Jane" the lively
comedy by Henry Arthur Jones. which
is eminently suited to the organization
as It is now constituted, affordIng, as it
does. two strongly leading female parts
for the exploiting of the talents Of Miss
Spong and Miss Walker.
Il is a story of the crucial period In
the life Of a conniving, self-willed girl.
Jane Nangle. paralleled with the story of
her friend. Miss Gage. equally c0nniving
and self-willed, in such a manner as 10
create grave doubt at times in the mind
of the auditor as TO which young lady
the author designs for his heroine. Mr..
Nangle has certain matrimonial projects
in view for his daughter. but she has
already made her choice in the person
of George Langton, and Miss Gage i'm
mediately makes her choice upon sight
of Lord Babchild, the fathers intended
son-in-law. and after a succession Of
amusing incidents the whole thing is end
ed satisfactorily Like all of Mr.. Jones
Productions. there is a wealth Of talk
leading up to the effective episodes, but
this is fully atoned for bg the humorous
character of the climaxes.
The work of Miss sebong and Miss
Walker. like the characters they assume,
runs side by side I'm point OF enjoyable
quality. The action alternates contin-
ually from one to another, and last night
each was equal TO her respective emer-
gencies. Miss Sp0ng was highly effective
in showing the tempestuous, headStrong
nature of Jane, while Miss Walker was
successful in carrying the schemes Of
the more seCretive Miss Gage to a sue
cessful termination. 1t is entirely worth
ones while to witness two such intelli-
gent and personally attractive actresses
playing characters which are linked to-
gether in the story, yet to a considerable
extent set one against the other
Another noteworthy feature was the
playing of Mr. Guy Coombs, as Lord
Babchild, the bashfUl and pTudsh young
nobleman. Il is perhaps the best thing
he has Done this season. Mr., George

Thousands of liberty-seeking youngsters
are rounded up each year by enterpris-
ing truant officers and placed IN school.
In cases of continued truancy the offend
er is sent 10 the parental or truant
schools. not as punishment, but 10 sup
ply the teaching and home life should
have given. Life In cottages with refined
men and women is given to each group
Of boys or girls. gardens and farms are
placed in their charge that they may
learn 10 work and have outdoor life, and
an honor system is offered each child
that rarely fails to appeal TO his better
self. When the eight months or the year
is over, a little citizen goes out to take
his place among the school children
again. with real interest in life and
an understanding Of its meaning. Each
has a groundwork Of good principles
that he had not known before.
Most Juvenile crimes are committed in
the cities in summer. Reason shows that
this Is because the devil, as Of old. must
find work for idle hands. There is no
where to play. there is nothing 10 do. and
young America Is active. Thoughtful peO-
pie in Boston IN 1885. and in New York
in 1895, thought out solution Of the
problem. They asked the loan of school
buildings and aid from the cities. and
opened vacation schools for children who

never been room enough for them in all

opened in these and other cities.
Until 1915 the blind. the deaf and dumb,

to teach the deaf and dumb Then teach

widening OF this work there came an in
