KATALLA 0N
 SHORT NATIONS

According to the Valdez Prospector there has been no steamship at Ka. talla since october 16; no ham; no eggs; no potatoes; no mail.
 The story is brought to Valdez by the launch cOrsair. Many of the passengers of the launch had busleess in court, and despairing of ever catching a steamship they ar. ranged with Captain Auel to take them over to Valdez.
 The last steamship to touch at Ka. tana was the Portland, northbound. october l6. Since that date the weather has by turns been good and has been. bad, but the bad weather always prevailed when steamship was passing.
 Captain Auel says that so far there is no danger of starvation, but that the daily bill of fare is very linn tied. He will take small consign, ment of supplies back with him and will stop at Cordoya and pick up the mail that has accumulated there.
 Captain Auel says that owing to the parsimony of the government he has for a long time been obliged to gratuitously transport all the Katalla mail to and from the steamship to the town. This incoming mail amounts to from ton to ton and a half each trip. On this trip the citizens of Katalla took up collec' tion to defray the expense of trans porting the mail,

Al. G. Field Minstrels.

Many theatrical managers depend en-
tirely upon the popularity and ability
of a single star to carry to success Z
production with the inevitable result
that the performance given is uneven
and not satisfactory. The contrast be-
tween the finished performance of the
star and that of the inferior cast of
the other players is so pronounced
that the entire production is condemn
ed. Al G. Field will not present a
production unless the performers are
of equal ability. There can be no
invidious comparisons made of the re
spectiye ability of the members of the

Week of May 18.-VaudevilIe.
May 2e-Al. G. Fields Ministries.
Vaudeville at the Gennett.

Perhaps it would be difficult to ar
range a more attractive program, as
far as variety is concerned, in vaude
vile, than is announced for the Gen
nett this week. The list of acts in
cludeS clay cartOOning, musical num-
bers, black face comedy. Roman ring
work, illustrated songs, motion pic
lures, a comedy playlet and n second
playlet under the head of a dramatic
sketch. The last mentioned. which
is put on by Owen Huffman & Com
pany, calls for a cast of four and is
somewhat more pretentiOus than is
ordinarily seen in vaudeville The
company will present The Benedic-
ton" OF this a New Haven. Conn,
publication says:
The BenediCtiOn" was the next
number, and for rich comedy, unique
situations and beautiful dialogue has
never been surpassed in this house.
The story is simple and direct, with a
laugh and a tear intermingled so Oft
en- one wonders that more of this kind
of play is not given us. Grandpa S
wrestling with Joe is screamingly
funny without being at all farcial, and
when he finally triumphs and throws
the younger man. everyone rejOices as
though he was an old and valued
friend. and not a character they had
seen only for a few moments. In a
great scene John Strong has with his
wife. he tells why he wishes to turn
the old veteran Out-On account of his
drinking and swearing. They finally
agree to leave it to the old soldier HIM
self and to everyone's surprise he
wants to go saying "a wife should fol-
low her husband as a soldier follows
his flag" The BenedictiOn" points
a great moral lesson, but does not
preach one and never for a moment
do you feel you are witnessing a play.
1t is all real TO you, and great cast,
in conjunction with a great play.

Country.
THE BEAUTIES OF AMERICA.

Washington, May 16-Most Ameri-
can women who delight to boast of
their foreign travels are wOefulIy ig-
norant Of their own country" says
Mrs. Thomas H. Carter, wife of the
Montana senator, who advocates the
founding of league of patriotic Amer
lean women, with a view to encOurag
ing travel through the west.
Last summer I took a party of
British friends through the Indian
country of the Little Rockies" said
Mrs. Carter, and their delight was
unspeakable We took a camping out
fit and roughed it. They were
amazed that anything so picturesque
as the Indian dances could exist with
out drawing great crowds from every
section Of the country.
"They were unable to conceive that
Americans would go abroad in search
of novelty with such a wealth of in
terest and amusen ent at home. And
as for scenery, | believe the Rockies
surpass anything Europe or any other
land can offer, and when the glimpses
of Indian life are added. the British
wonder that so few Americans visit
the western mountain country.

country, visiting the missions and at

where the air is as invigOrating as Old
