PICTURES ARE
VIVID IN DESCRIPTION

Following is an excerpt from
the Nome Nugget" commenting
upon the Alaskan moving pic
lures which will be shown by B.
B. Dobbs at the Tacoma theater
next Tuesday night:
Despite the rain and slush
which prevailed last Saturday
night, the Eagle hall was packed
to capacity to witness Dobbs' fare
we'll moving picture show. The
exhibition was success finan-
cially, and an enthusiastic audi
ence appreciated the ten reels of
motion pictures.
The trip with the U. S. mail
carrier, Erick Johnson, ON the
Nome-Unalukleet route was a
headliner. The film shows just
what Uncle Sans boys have to
contend with in this neck of the
woods when 1t comes to delivering
the goods, which in this instance
is the mail. When witnessing the
pictures one feels as though he
is following the dog sled with
johnson through the snowdrifts
and banks,
"Those who saw the films Sat-
urday night should now realize
that when theiE mail is late from
the outside 1t is not the fault of
the man behind the mai lsled
Without exception, the polar
bear hunt is one of the most de-
scriptive and entertaining pictures
which the writer has witnessed
anywhere.

them. "Three thousand dollars!

Constructed primarily along
lines of dramatic value, 1.-The
Time, the Place and the Girl, -

THE Niger"
STRONG PLAY

'"The Niger" which appeared
at the Tacoma theater last night
was genuine surprise to those
who have witnessed many of the
successful New York plays" No
more intense drama has bsen seen
here in years and in this period of
mediocre plays 1.-The Niger"
comes as relief.
The story hinges about young
Southern aristocrat elected to the
governorship of his state. As he
is about to sign a prohibition bill,
the owner of a distillery proves 10
him that he is of negro blood and
threatens to publish the fact If
the bill is signed. The bill is
signed.
Therlow Bergen, who takes the
part of '4nhe Niger" rises to no
mean heights. Florence Roberts
as the sweetheart of Phillip Nor
row, "The Niger" turns against
him when she discovers that his
blood is tainted. The scene in
which she does so DIS a powerfu,
one, Bergen doing an exceptional
ly fine piece of acting. Later
she finds that she still loves Nor
row and would marry him. He
points out to her that this can
never be and decides that he will
himself tell the people that he is
a negro.

In Consequence of an examination Of farm
wells throughout the country, the government
has issued warning to farmers to look more
carefully after the sources of their drinking
water supply. AS an illustration, it is shown
that SO Of 70 farm wells examined in Minnesota,
were found to be polluted. Eleven were SO
located as to make protection against pollution
impossible. Twenty-three of the farms ex-
amined had typhoid fever records

five years or less time, corn will be selling at a

Lynn Haines the secretary of the Mime

previous to the last session of the Legislature to
observe the work of the members and report
their dongs to the people, has written a book
on the last Legislature, which has just been is

in reviewing the book says
"Mr Haines is former newspaper man,
keen observer, an accurate chronicler of what
he saw and heard, and he has made a volume
of extraordinary interest. Notwithstanding
many of the facts stated are startling to those
not familiar with the methods of corporate con-
troll of governmental AFFAIRS it is obvious from
a reading of Mr.. Haines Book that his treat
ment has been restrained by a desire not to
Overstate nor to draw differences not entirely
justified by the facts. Still, if Mr.. Haines
book does not put end to the official careers
of some very prominent, who hope to
be continued in office, the voters of Minnesota
are Indifferent as to the character of their pub
lie servants. AS to men, their record is
damning and Mr.. Haines says so. AS to others
whose records seem not much better, conform

The story came out short time ago that
Senator Clapp was deprived of his patronage in
this state on account Of his insurgency-a piece
of ward politics incompatible with the dignity
of the Office of president and a disgrace to Pre-
sident Taft From various articles printed late
ly, it is easy to see that President Taft favors
the election of F. B. Kellogg to succeed Senator
Clapp, and has already "mixed in" more than
he is justified in doing.

Down in New York one William F. Clark is
suing Lewis Stuyvesant Chanler for $4,000 for
services rendered in booming Chanler for the
Democratic presidential nomination in 1908
Clark wrote laudatory articles of Chanler and
had them published in the Democratic press of
the country. Clark deserves to win his suit,
because anyone who can write reams of the
stuff that is sent out to boom political candi-
dates from president to poundmastcr earns his
money.

Congressman Lindberg has started new
thing in congressional work by writing a
gular letter to the newspapers of his district
telling of the doings of congress, and present
ing the questions before congress in order to
sound the opinion of his district. The average
congressman finds it much more to his interest
to keep the people of his district in ignorance
of what he is doing except on the measures
that particularly concern his own district, and
no one who does not intend to be perfectly
square with the people should attempt to give
them a detailed account of his stewardship.
Congressman Lindberg, not being a novice in
politics, can therefore be counted of

FRIDAY, JANUARY III, 1910.

Joel Heatwole is opposed to the nomination
of Gov. Eberhart, alleging that he is not Re
publican and that he has the support of the in
terests. The politicians like to regard Heat
wole a back number, but his knocks are not

Some Washington correspondent invented
the term "back from Elba club" as a designa-
ton of certain prominent members of the Re
publican party. While it's meaning is i'm
mediately clear to all a designation of those
who wish to see Roosevelt return and again be
elected to the presidency, yet no exchange has
yet given a satisfactory explanation of any apt
ness in the designation. Roosevelt did not go
to Africa as the defeated Napoleon to Elba, and
he is not expected to return for glorious one
hundred days of renewed power, ending with
Waterloo and St. Helena.

The Minneapolis postofice is said to have a
small fortune in letters to a mail order grocery
concern which is no longer in business. The
senders of the letters will in due time receive
their money back, and in that respect are better
off than some of the earlier patrons of the con-
Germ. The grocery business seems to be an
especial pet of fraudulent concerns. In a
neighboring town recently, smooth agent
solicited orders for groceries, and collected on
each order an advance payment of one dollar.
The groceries never came, but the swindler
made the mistake some time after of returning
to the town, was recognized by the ladies from
whom he had taken orders, and compelled to
make restitution.

Governor Eberhart has issued volumin-
agricultural development congress to be held
in St. Paul on March 16, II, '18 and 10. The
gathering will undoubtedly attract all the poll
ticians and their henchmen in the state, and is
expected to materially advance the political in
terests of the promoters. Resolutions will be
adopted which will have the unanimous ap-
prova1 of the man who draws them. The whole
thing will be like shearing the hog-lots of
noise and little wool.
There is no need of the gathering to awaken
interest in conservation and agricultural de-
velopment. People unit that. And
the practical methods of such large subjects
cannot be worked out in such a gathering, but
must be left to smaller workable gatherings of
experts interested in particular phases of the
great movement.
Uncle Sam is so constantly busy welcom
ing new citizens at his front door that he seems
to be overlooking the wholesale departure of
native sons over the back fence. The Philip
pines during the past ten years have lured
away at least 10000 Americans and fully one
third of them have settled down in those islands
and will probably end their days there. Pro
badly five times that number have moved over
the border into Mexico, for in the city of Mexico
alone there is permanent American colony OF
about 5000 persons. Thousands have settled in
other Latin American countries while the en-
migration from the United States into Canada
is increasing each year. During the year 1909
more than 10000 Americans crossed into
Canada not to look at the scenery but to settle
in that country. The pilgrims carried all their
belongings with them and most of them bought
land. According to the Canadian immigration
returns they were citizens of the most desirable
type and the average amount of money that
each carried was ST 900. That is to say, these
emmig grants withdrew from the United States
IN one year 500, 1000 900. So far Americans have
bought nearly 100000 acres of land in the
Dominion and have added half a million acres
to the annual acreage of the Canadian wheat
crop. Indeed, the whole of the Canadian north
west is becoming American colony. 1t is
not inconceivable that before many years an
american born Canadian may be writing Off
