An effort is being made to have Judge Wickersham here at the time, and he will be asked to address the people here on the Fourth. The committeeman from Fair banks have not been heard from yet, and the place of holding the conven- tion is not definitely determined. Wherever it is held it will take place about the Fourth ofjuly, and Judge WicEersham will probably be present and address the people. Chairman Frame, of the ceptral committee, has written him and urged him to address the people here on the Fourth should the committee determine to fix Valdez as the place.
 Alaska is in the public eye today as never before. There is universal in- terest in this wonderful Northland. People have learned much about the territory the past two or three years and want to know more. They have learned the truth. In undertaking, demsgogic days agone, Alaska was a subject of contention in controversial and academic debate. and utilized to demonstrate and illuminate theories most of them basically at fault-touch- ing upon politics and conservation. Today Alaska is being dealt with as a big and important part of the Ameri- can domain. Theory is giving place to fact. Vast sections of the territory, long tied up without rhyme or reason as forestry reserves, are about to be restored to the public domain. Emi- grafton to Alaska already has set in.

Under the new order of things capital is no longer repelled, but invited. Legiti- mate mining enterprises readily find financial support. Even before the government has taken it's initial step in railroad building, every city in Alaska, on the coast or in the interior, has taken on new lease of life and is look. ing confidently to the future. It is no idle prophecy to say hat Alaska's pop ulation will double within year. And in short course of time the sturdy pio- neer and stout hearted settler will be turning to account some of the 100000 square miles of land susceptible of ag- ricultural use, but now and always hitherto untouched and dormant CcottC None i'm Seattle p.-I

It's no easy job to break into the

production of moving picture dramas

is strain of comedy running through
the production that serves to create
a decidedly favorable impression with
the spectator. The picture will be
shown in two parts.
Departing from the usual line Of
comedy, the screaming farce, The

SCORES BIG IN

Talented Little Actress Seen to
Splendid Advantage in "Tess
of the Storm Country"

Tess of the Storm Country is a
sermon. A beautiful sermon, deliv-
cred with a great deal more force and
1silent) eloquence than is possible
from the pulpit No matter how gifted
the orator it would be almost an utter
impossibility for him to play the range
of human emotions so ably handled in
the silent drama at the Popular the
alter for the current week. 1t is a
film that is different" very. very diff
ferent. T. r.. ~.>. ~
Branding "Tess of the Storm Coun-
try" as a sermon forces the state
ment that 1t conveys a lesson-not
one, but several 1t teaches, among
other things. that the protected" girl,
with surroundings Of the most ideal
nature. is not free from the sin that
is aeons old; while the wild child of
nature, living alone in a shambles
among the toughest kind of men. can
wage life's battle successfully, coming
through the fire unscathed. 1t teaches
a lesson on the efficacy of faith, in
fact. the entire film is built upon the
blind and uncomfortable faith of a
wild child of nature.
So strong is the faith of Tess that.

est griefs-her father condemned to
die, her sweetheart doubling her faith

Little Mary Pickford is. at her best
in this Offering. The promises made
fer this talented. diniinntiyet actress
had sounded rather strong but they
fell short of the mark if anything. Her
comedy parts are real Comedy, the
kind that produces spontaneous
laughs, while in the sad and sober
scenes the tears sprihg iinbidden to
the eyes. Mirth and laughter one mo-
ment, tears and signs the next is the
order of the emotions during the run
of the entire six reels,
The story told in Tess of the Storm
Country is long, interesting and pref
ty. The picture must be seen to be
properly appreciated and enjoyed. It
is even worth seeing second time,
possibly oftener. There are many
strong scenes, scenes that go. to make
this film something different Prom
|inent in these are! the courtroom
scene. when Tess father is convicted
|of murder and the ignorant child APP
pears in court; another is scene in
church when Tess takes the fatherless
little offspring belonging to the sister
|of her sweetheart to BE sprinkled so
les God can find him." and a storm
scene that for the spectacular is far
above the average.

ability and versatility beyond any
Question in Tess of the Storm Coun-

be assured a heavy patronage Three

lamb-like young person who had been

He clasped cartridge belt about his
waist and fitted a mask over the lower
half of his face, for the boys in Casey's
saloon had said something about the
monthly payroll having been received by
the agent for the stage line and mining
company. Burr smiled bitterly, almost
wishing the Spruce Ridge gossipers could
behold the result of their gibes and
sneers. and then. locking the cabin door
securely behind him, he saddled his pony
