HACKETT IN GREAT PLAY
 HERE THIS WEEK
70

Charles Frohman's great film of James K. Hackett. in Anthony Hopes Prisoner of Zenda." will be present. ed to the people of Juneau by Emmet Harris. at Gross theatre Friday. Satur- day and Sunday of this week. Tonight and tomorrow night it will be present. ed at the Lyric theatre. Douglas. The film is of one of the worlds greatest actors in his greatest play and it is presented to theatre-goers by one of the greatest American managers - Charles Frohman. of New York.
 It is said that when Sarah Bern hard saw herself. as produced by mo- ton picture in her play Queen Eliza beth" she enthusiastically exclaimed: 'I am immortal. shall live forever" But not until the great artist saw how truthfully the camera had portrayed herself and her conception of one of her fayorite productions did she re- alize what can be accomplished by a moving picture,
 Those that have seen Frohman's production of Hackett in the Prison CT of zenda," say that he, too, could join in the sentiment expressed by the Divine Sarah, for he. too. has been made immortal by the moving pie ture; he. too. will live forever.
 The Prisoner of zenda" offers a perfect vehicle for the perpetuation of the splendid abilities of James K. Hackett. Its profound appeal to the better qualities that are within us; its stimulating emphasis of the power of duty: it's predominatins note of sym pathy, and the thrilling battle it DOT trays for love and honor cannot but make better those who witness it's production.
 The moving picture. that brings such plays as the Prisoner of Zenda" and such players as James K. Hackett to the people of the smaller communi- ties and those that live away from the main travelled roads, is boon the value of which all are coming to re- alize. and the people of Juneau and Douglas will be under obligations to Mir. Harris for bringing the film to them. Mir. Hackett is seldom seen in his proper person in the West, and then only for brief periods in the larger cities. He will be in Juneau for three nights.

LOW YUKON RATES
 ARE HERE TO STAY

General Manager O. L. Dickeson, of the White Pass, says the low rates on the Yukon have come to stay. His company, he says, has entered the lower river as permanent proposi. ton, and it will continue to operate there and to reduce freight rates as the volume of the business warrants.
 In an interview in the Seattle Sun. Mir. Dickeson is quoted:
 Remarks have been spread with the idea of discouraging the purpose to divert this trade to the ports Of Seattle and Vancouver, and in order that all who may be interested may fully understand our unalterable DO. sition We say that the through service is not only a permanent one, but one which will be improved and added to as the business warrants, and if the volume of business is sufficiently large inc tendency of rates will be down ward. This will bring the Puget Sound territory so closely in contact with the Northern country in point of tine, rates and service that outside markets should not be able to com pete with the merchants here.
 Encourage Competition.
 "We believe that commercial busi- ness and people travel along the lines of the least resistance where su- perior service Is afforded, coupled with fair treatment, and we are backing up that belief not by attempting to discourage any new enterprise, but by assisting the territory we serve by spending large sums of money. So when the business interests here catch the significance as to what the open- ing up of this new territory with a new additional transportation company means they can take advantage of a large increased trade.
 By reason of the move we have made in obtaining a new connection between Dawson and Fairbanks, the freight rates on the ocean between Seattle and Skagway have been very materially reduced"

FLOUR EXPLOSION WRECKS
MILL,

That -four, the softest and most in
nocent thing in the world apparently,
the very staff of life, could by any
proce turn to an engine Of de-
struction, wrecking the mill that
makes it and killing many people.
as it did in one of the large cities Of
the country recently, would be
thought incredible. But once in a long
while, under certain rare conditions,
it does act this way and become a
terrible instrument Of ruin. Three Is
a scientific reason for this action. Gun
powder, dynamite and other recog-
nized explosives are all capable Of
suddenly releasing enormous power
because they conf1ne In close proxim-
ity finely divided carbon with exact
ly the necessary quantity Of oxygen
for its complete combustion, or, as a
chemist would say, its oxidation.
Flour contains these same elements,
but usually they are held together in
safe proportion. But once in a while
the flour dust Of the bin or mill Is in
such a condition that a spark or even
