PAPER MILL MAY BE STARTED AT
 kETCH|kAN

ketchikan business men are seek ing capital to organize a pulp mill company for southeast Alaska.
 Senator Heckman, who recently left for California, has been selected to visit some of the large mills on the Columbia river, secure data and pre- sent a proposition to outside capital ists. Local business men assure him of their financial support.
 The Progressive, referring to the matter editorially, says
 Every business man of Ketchikan knows the cost of paper specially if he has purchased any the last year; he must have noticed what he was made to pay; and, apparently, the end is not yet. Although investigators have been at work on the subject, and while they have hinted at an undue increase, nothing definite has been learned and shall not be until the investigators make their report, when no doubt some reasons shall appear which may or may not justify the in crease.
 Talk of establishing a paper mill in Alaska has been heard for years, yet nothing has ever come of it. It was evidently just talk At this time it might not be out of place to suggest little agitation along that line among the local business men. There are many here with money, who if they were to start a movement as an in yestment might result in bringing others with a few dollars who would be glad to take a hand and push the matter along. With an unlimited amount of timber here, there can be no reason that such investment would not pay. Senator IIeckman Contem plates a trip to the states shortly, and while out where he shall meet men with plenty of capital it might be that the senator would get the thing started.

an act would be without the province of the territorial legislature, inasmuch as congress withheld certain powers to itself when Alaska's territorial gov ernment was organized, and that the power of regulating or prohibiting the sale and manufacture of liquor was one of the powers so withheld
 Active Campaign Waged.
 The referendum measure was passed by the 1915 legislature, after being introduced by c. K. Snow, rep resentative from the Fourth judicial division in the territorial legislature. An active wet and dry campaign was waged in every Alaskan community, particularly in the interior, where the bulk of the vote was supposed to be.

DEFECTS OF DRY LAW POINTED
 BY EDITOR

Three separate prohibition laws may be necessary before Alaska finally will enter the dry column, as result of the vagueness of existing statutes on the subjects, in the opinion of John w. Troy, editor and publisher of the Alaska Empire at Juneau.
 Alaska went dry overwhelmingly so far as the people were concerned" " MT. Troy said There were probably only two or three precincts in the whole territory that returned wet majority. Every incorporated town in all of Alaska voted dry. Every divi- sion returned a big dry majority, so that the proportion of dry votes to wet ones was almost five to three. "
 Legality May Be Questioned.
 MT. Troy said that the legality of the so-called referendum measure was likely to be questioned by some on the grounds that the legislature of Alaska had no power to refer or delegate pow CTS to others which had been distinct ly delegated to it by the organic act. Again, some Alaskans have contended, according to MT. Troy, that in order to make the matter doubly sure, the legislature should pass a definite pro- hibition law to confirm the desire of the voters as expressed in the refer endum on November 2. Other students of Alaska's organic act claim that such

i work He ls in what amounts to Close
up" at the opening OF the scene. Briggs
enters and comes into the Closeup" when
he sits at the desk.
II we do 1t this way we must get over
| in previous scenes the hatred of Briggs for
Jordan and Jordan's fear that some day
| Briggs will return. We must plant II
strong enough so that the moment Briggs
enters the room the audience will feel the
suspense.
When Briggs softly closes the door and
pauses a moment to gloat over his revenge.
the audience must have been prepared and
Il must be at once clear In their minds the
full import of the call. The closeup" Is
used to make the point clear and to add to
the suspense. There are other reasons for
using the Closeup but these two are the
important ones.
Like most other good things the CLOSE
up" has been overdone. II is used some
times to such an extent that IL causes the
action to drag. The moment 1t does this
you have destroyed Is value in the story
The audience knows. 1t doesn't need to
be hit over the head with sledge-hamner
to drive a point home
If the point to be made Is unusual or
some particular piece Of business needs
delineatlon or II some lay figure or prop
erty needs Identification 1t Is well to use the
closeup" II Is difficult, for instance, to
depllct emotions adequately when the char
acters are some distance from the camera
The related circumstances should govern
In each case.
If we have seen a weeping heroine in
several scenes we do not need TO come
into a Closeup" for each cry. Once Is
quite enough. "Close- ups are invaluable
in character drawing. If, for example,
bandit holds up stage coach and you have
several different types in the coach you can
get good laugh by picking out the charac-
terS one at time.
This brings us to another use of the
Closeup" If you have a number of the
characters in a scene the audience will be
unable in the space of rs feet to grasp
the various types. particularly If there
is some important action taking place
in the scene. These characters can all be
identified by means of the closeup"
The closeup" has another use that may
be mentioned here, but as far as the
scenario writer is concerned, 1t is unneces-
sary to consider 1t very deeply. 1t happens
occasionally that some scenes photograph
badly or perhaps there is some other defect
in the scene. BY using Closeup OF
some of the characters and playing all the
action in the Closeup the defect In the
picture may be passed over
