 Hart is one of the best known and best liked actors appearing in motion pictures Tn popularity and selling abil- ity he is surpassed by none. Only a few weeks ago he made a tour of the United States under the supervision of Triangle and everywhere was greeted with tremendous enthusiasm.
 His popularity has increased by leaps and bounds since he has been with Triangle.
 Ever since he has been in motion pictures, Hart has appeared under the direction of Thomas H. Ince.

A congregation that nearly filled Holy Trinity Cathedral last night enjoyed and appreciated the organ recital given by Professor Wells. It was pronounced by music-lovers who were present, the best music they had heard for long time"
 Doubtless most of those present especially enjoyed the "Chemin du Paradise" Mendelssohn's "Consola- tion." Jerusalem the Golden" and Sir Arthur Sullivan's "The Lost Chord"
 The heavier, as well as the other parts showed the possibilities and capacity of the organ in the express sion of all the moods of the human |heart-illustrating both the triumphant joy of the overflOwing heart as well as the quiet peace of the soul which has found it's goal.
 If recital is given again on other first-Sunday evenings, the music will include a greater variety of the var ious types of expression.

SEATTLE, June 25.-The Alaska Bureau, Seattle Chamber of Com merce and Commercial Club, has re. gently received copy of the report of the U. 5. Corps of Engineers, strongly recommending the dredging and improvement of Dry Strait. Alas ka, at an estimated cost of 5000, 900. Delegate Charles A. Sulzer has in troduced a bill in Congress author. izng the work J. l.f tMcPherson. manager of the Alaska< Bureau. in commenting on this project, said:
 The dredging and opening to wa ter navigation of Dry Strait, Alas ka, is most essential improvement to the growing commerce of Alaska. The improvement of this Strait to provide for the passage of steam ships engaged in Alaska traffic will eliminate the narrow and shallow Wrangell Narrows. and the long de- tour via Cape Decision. and will pro- vide a continuous inside passage for all sized vessels through the waters of Southeastern Alaska"

Some of the picture show local scenes and should be of particu ing picture showing MT. Jackson who operated the Jaxon rink catching a trout and perhaps it is just well MT. Jackson is not here to the finish of this marvellous example of trout fishing. There is series of views of the Takue glacier showing it's face brea king and crashing into the sea that few residents have ever seen so per fectly and there are other views of the mines and of street scenes which will all go to show thai in his lecture tours of the states Dr. Sugden has not ne- glected Juneau in the least
 One of the biggest thrills of the series is of the Whitehorse Rapids where Dr. Sugden piloted for three years for the Canadian Mounted Po- lice. Dr. Sugden was one of the ablest pilots in the Klondike days and when he made his Alaskan pictures to show the outside world the true Alaska, one of the first things he had taken was himself running the rapids. The pie lures are unusually clear and show in all realism the dangers that the .arly gold seeker had to pass through.
 The close of the lecture has always been the great hit, and even in places where dog team are not novelties, the picture of the dog team travelling on glare ice and Dr. Sugden's story that accompanies it are always sure to get l big laugh The story is of the meet ing of Maiamute Bill and Bishop Rowe the first noted for his ability as ,usser, the second for his goodness and oiety. The meeting of these two men )n the trail is scream and the way pr. Sugden conjures up all the terri ble blasphemy that Bill used without himself using single profane word shows what an able orator Dr. Sugden is,
