SOUTH DAKOTA is IN
TERESTED.

supreme court of the United States
handed down a decision to the effect
that the gross earnings tax law of
South Dakota. as applied to inter
state express companies, transacting
business in the state, is unconstitu-

company and the WellsFargo COM
pany to resist the states tax claims.
This decision upsets number of
suits pending in South Dakota for the
collection of taxes claimed under the
provisions OF the gross earnings law,
and will necessitate revision OF the

BETTER MOVIES
CHTLD'S WELFARE CLUB COM
MITTEE CONSULT WITH
MESSRS. MULVEY.

To the Editor: In many cities and
even small towns all over the coun-
try, women's clubs have taken up the
Better Films" movement. and have
been the means of giving to the young
people good, clean, entertaining
movies.
At the last meeting of the Child
Welfare club this movement was
started and met with enthusiasm on
the part of the members. Realizing
that the movies have come to stay
and are source of great entertain
ment to young and old, and realizing
that many pictures shown are not
wholesome to the immature mind,
the club has undertaken TO better
these conditions so that the youth of
our city may be entertained and at
the same time not see pictures which
carry immoral suggestions. To this
end a committee of five ladies was
appointed to make study of the
movement as carried on by clubs in
various parts of the country. Yes
terday this committee met with
Messrs. Mulvey and found them more
than willing to cooperate with the
club, and have agreed to put on a
good, clean show for young people at
one of their houses every Friday
night. 1t must be understood that
the pictures used for these shows are
not to be childish pictures, but pic
lures which will be entertaining to
young and old. but free from immor-
al suggestions.
There are many pictures which will
thrill any boy, but which do not por-
tray murders and robberies. There
are many society pictures which will
entertain mothers and daughters, but
which are free from suggestions Of
immortality. There are many come
dies which will make all ages laugh,
but which are free from vulgarity.
1t Is these kind of plays which Null
vey Bros are going to procure for the
Friday night shows at the Princess
theater.
The committee having In charge
the movement are now in corre-
spondence with magazines having
Better Films" departments to pro-
cure list of films which are recon-
mended by other clubs as being the
right sort for young people. When
this list is completed. Mulvey Bros.
will send the same to their service
house and get as many of these films
as are in the exchange.
Parents have been feeling the need
OF better films for some time. al
though it cannot be said that all pic
lures shown here have been unfit for
young people, but in the past parents
have not been sure what sort OF pic
lures their young people would see at
a show, while with a special Friday
night show they can be sure that
every picture will be q good clean

REPORT ON PETITIONS
TWO DOCUMENTS ACCEPTED
REFERRED TO CITY ATTOR.
NEY AND STREET CON-
MISSIONER.

Provided concerted, adverse
movement is not instituted by the
owners of a considerable majority of
the frontage along that section of the
thoroughfare directly affected, only a
few technicalities remain to be OBJ
served before the city commission
finally passes an ordinance declaring
the necessity and advisability Of paw
ing Egan avenue, and advertising for
bids for the work.
Consent petitions, bearing the sig
natures of the owners of sixty-three
properties on the avenue, between
the Milwaukee railway tracks and the
intersection at Fourteenth street,
were presented last night by mem
bers of the Merchants association to
the city commission. The petitions
were accepted and motion was
made, referring them to the city at
torney and the street commissioner
for report.
Provision is made by statute for
the advertising of the proposed i'm
provement four weeks, when IL the
reports Of the city attorney and street
commissioner and the estimates of
the city engineer are favorable, the
commission may, IL sufficient protest
is not forthcoming. order the pave
ment laid.
Already the merits of various
kinds of paving materials are a prin-
cipal source OF discussion. Just
about every known quality of street
surfacing from concrete and rockmac
to asphalt. brick and creosoted wood
blocks apparently has hosts of ad-
herents in the city. and nearly all
seem to be willing to go into minute
comparisons to prove their favorite
brand of paving either the most serv-
iceable or the cheapest in the long
run, or at least the most pleasing to
the eye and the most handily cleaned.
The city commission will have the
decision in the matter. They will
have the advice in the matter of the
city engineer, and 1t Is possible that
estimates on several kinds of paving
will be considered before awarding
the contract.

with the club In this matter, it is now
up to the parents of our city to sup
port this movement by giving their
patronage SO as to make these shows

work the Child Welfare club Is under

of our city, 1t Is to be hoped they
will give this movement their best
support.

PARIS, Oct. "A correspondent in a description of the bombardment which preceded Saturdays attack on ;Le Germans, says:
 s'The German lines became smother ed in dust their parapets melted away and their barbed wire entanglements disappeared. Those sleeping thirty or forty miles away were awakened by the dull rumbling, while even at that distance the displacement of air was clearly felt

After the Saturday night rehearsal for the Queen Esther production, an inson that there was due him two chromoes, sure enough. One ehromo for his faith in undertaking to put on Il production of that magnitude, and another chromo for the remark able success his work was receiving.
 But the Director, in his manner that is forceful in its kindliness, let slip the mantle of credit for the sue cess the production promises, to the shoulders of the members of the cast. It is also their work and enthusiasm. and the talent they can recruit to its support, that is rounding out "Queen Esther" into a marvellous success.
 The east of the opera will be pub lished tomorrow and to them and to their director, Ketchikan will owe the tribute of a stupendous patronage, and of hearty appreciation. The last general rehersal occurs tonight. Stage and dress rehearsals will then complete the preparations for the play on Thursday and Friday evenings of fhis week.
 Tomorrow morning the reserved seat sale for Queen Esther will open at Ryus Drug Store. Reserved seat tick cts for either evening of the opera will be 75 cents each.

An Incident We'll
 Worth Recording
SCHOOL TEACHER ABOARD
 ABLER LOST HIS ALL
(From the Juneau Dispatch)

Reflecting upon the final destruc- tion, by fire of the schooner Abler in Gastineau channel Wednesday after noon after thrilling voyage of fiji teen days from Seattle, and the re sultant unfortunate condition of all aboard in the loss Of property, hard ships encountered and estrangement from relatives and friends, no phase of the eatasthrophe appeals to or more strongly calls forth thed eepest sym pathy than that of the plight in which Everett P. Frohock, who constituted one of the crew, is now enveloped. He had been appointed by the govern ment to teach at the native school situate at Good News in the Kusko- kwim country and was enroute to his post of duty. His wife, accompanied by their two little boys proceeded as far as Ketehikan on a recent voyage of the City of Seattle, and from that port continued her journey to the Kuskokwim country on the gas boat Bender Misunderstanding a few days in advance of the arrival of her hus- band on the ill-fated Abler, whom she was to accompany to Good News. This failure to meet his wife was grear disappointment to Frohock at the time However, as later developments show the misconneetion was bless ing in disguise. No word has been re- ceived from the Bender Brothers. Ii is presumed she will call at Sand Point first then go around to landing in Good News Bay, where Mrs. Frohoek and children will leave the ship. The distance is fifteen miles from tine landing to the school house in the Indian village, and as she is unknown, and unfamiliar with the country her condition is a serious one. In the vii lage where the school is located there IS put one WAlle lHudD1tdHtf dil utHCt residents being natives The condition greatly augments Frohock s anxiety as to where his family is and just ho they will fare in a strange country. He hopes that a revenue cutter will get in touch with the Bender Broth CTS and relieve the distressing situ ation.
 The plight of MT. Frohoek is equally as sad, as being stranded here, total stranger, having sold all of his furni- ture in Seattle to go to the Kusko- kwim country. He lost all of his per sonal effects and supplies on the Abler Superintendent Beatie of the native schools in Alaska, is communicating with the proper authority in Seattle for instructions how to proceed.
 This is only one of many instances of this kind which have occurred in Alaskan waters since the acquisition of Alaska from Russia by the govern ment.
