More Indians have been seen i'm Douglas during the past few days than for several months, due Co the fact that the 6sB canueries have closed down for the season and the natives have come home or come Co town Co spend their money with which they appear Co be we'll pro- vided. The result Is that the officers of Che law are more yigilant than usual for it is fact that am Indian with money usually carries an able bodied thirst. and it is further fact that there isusually some "po' white trash" that Is willing to take a chance for the difference between five dollars and the cost of a bottle of booze.

 ENTERTAINED Candidate for Attorney General, George B. Grigsby, De-
 livers Address

George E. Grgsby. candidate on
 the Democratic ticket for the office
 of Attorney General for Alaska. ad-
 dressed a fair sized crowd at the
 Orpheum Theatre here Monday night
 when, tho handicapped by severe
 cold and sore throat, he hewed to
 the line regardless of where the
 chips might fall
 Al S:3O o'clock N. A. Snow called
 the house to order by introducing
 District Attorney J. A. smiser who
 made neat little talk and closed rby introducing Mr. Grigsby The
 speaker handled the Republican
 candidate for the same office quite gently but proved by pictures or his residence and office that he is 8 resident of Seattle and not of Alas ka. He at one time made his home in Alaska, but now in the Spirit City
 Mir. Grigsby would succeed as a merchant for the reason that he is an adept in showing goods He proved by Congressional records that he has the goods on the present delegate who IS also yearning for reelection. and the manner in which he paraded those goods before his hearers was really pathetic from the standpoint of the friends Of the latter He made no statements that he did not prove. He exposed the Delegates position regarding Alas ku's fish and opined that the Del egate's entire congressional csreer was decidedly hshy. He said that when Alaskans become disgruntlcd and soured and feel that they want to do something mean to sSite some body. they invariably join the ranks of "Wick's" supporters. He charged that the Delegate is all things Co an people, that he has been regis tered in congress as an Independent and four years ago as a Wilson Democrat and that now he is endeavoring 10 ride on the coat tail Of Candidate Hughes bee cause there is no other place nc ran go and get a welcome. He lik- ened the Delegate 10 the loycsick swain who called on his best girl and was frozen out by another fel- low. then went 10 the home Of hes second best girl where he was hand ed the same bunch. Disconsolately he was returning Co his home when he saw light in a church and de- cided to investigate. A prayer meet ing was in progress and from the woc-begone expression Of the youth the minister in charge decided hc had been converted and called on him to pray The young man com piled with. "Oh Lord. | come Co Thee for the reason that there is no other place for me to go.
 Al the conclusion of Mir Griggs- by's address. Senator j. M Tanner few remarks and was well received. The two candidates left the same night for Petersburg, Wrangell and Ketchikan. The latter will be on Gastincau Channel several days on his way back to his home in Skag- way. Mir Grigsby intends return ing to his home in Nome before the close of navigation.

L. & S.'THEATER

This evening will witness the close
of "Where Are My Children ?" at the
L. & S. Theatre. At it's first per-
fCrmance here last night the theatre
vas packed and many were the ex-
carnations of astonishment heard at
various times during the evening,
when scenes, startling in their sig
rificance, were flashed On the screen.
Charlie Chaplin in an Essanay COM
edy, will be at the L. & S. tomorrow
evening. "Work" first appeared sew
elal months ago and has been re-
viewed time and time again. How
ever, it never fails to provoke laugh
ter and will be enjoyed by the patrons
OF the theatre tomorrow evening.
Cleo Madison, in a two-reel drama,
"The Guilty One; "The Caravan"

PALACE THEATER

! The long-looked-for and much
ts lked-of picture, "The Eyes of sthe
World" considered to be the most
remarkable dramatization of any nov-
lei ever written, will be shown here
this evening at the Palace Theatre.
Criticism or comment on this pic
ture is not at all necessary in View
tf the amount of publicity given it
during the past few weeks. 1t will
be here this evening and tomorrow for
matinee and evening, and everyone
will have the opportunity of seeing it.
Monday, Charlie Chaplin, in the next
to his latest success, "The Pawn
Shop" comes to the Palace for one
day. This comedy met with instant
s'.ccess at its first performance at
Carrick's, in Los Angeles, and at
every performance the house was
packed. Chaplin is at his best as
the pawnbroker's assistant. Edna Pur-
viance, his comely co-star, is excellent
in the role of his sweetheart, and the
love scene between the two is good,
proving that Chaplin is not entirely
:, slapstick comedian.

lrday went over, to Imperial. Three
years ago, for a stranger to see per-
haps hundred head of horses hitched
on the streets in the middle of the
town was very detrimental to the
town, but on this trip, saw this OBJ
lection had been removed, beautiful
streets built, and clean and new
town had supplanted the old.
When I was last here l saw that
the natural resources surrounding Ca
lexico would at no distant day make
it a city. On my visit there last week
I was amazed at it's advancement
and development. scarcely knew the
town. 1t had on a new tailored suit

Ell Centro, being centrally located,
and being the seat Of government,
seems to be the hug of the Valley.
Activity in business had greately in
creased and it's upbuilding is perma-
nent and lasting. Its splendid new
hotel indicates confidence. The three
new school buildings would be cred
liable to the best part of the State of
New York.
l have not seen the Holtville and
Dixieland communities since l came,
but l am told they are making equal
progress with their sister sections.
The fertility Of the soil, the un-
equaled natural conditions for produc-
ing cotton, and the other agricultural
products first to reach the markets,
make the Valley perhaps the best
agricultural district in the United
States for money making. And all
those rests and sibottomed on the
Imperial Irrigation District. To man.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE)
$4,000 to build an 11-foot auto road
properly ditched and with culverts
every cent being paid by the govern
ment. All that is holding off the
immediate building of this road is
the fact that the secretary of agri-
culture has not as yet approved the
years disposition of funds for i'm
provements. According to Mr.. Du
Bois, there is hardly any doubt but
that the necessary $4,000 will be
given.
Tentative plans have been made
setting forth the manner in which
land may be acquired in the reserva-
ton and the amount charged therefor.
It is understood that rental charges
will range from $15 per year up
wards, depending on the amount
leased and the location. These leases
are renewed automatically from yeaS
to year without additional charge. No
land will be leased for agricultural
purposes, the idea being to make the
forest summer colony, and that
alone.
To those who desire to establish .
business on the reservation q thirty
year lease may be secured without
trouble.
