LOUISE LOvELY'S POPULARITY

Followers of Bluebird Photoplays
will be delighted with the announce
ment that beautiful and talented
Louise Lovely, the most consistent
star on the Bluebird program, will
again be the attraction at the Star
theatre on Saturday, March 10, in
"Bobbie of the Ballet" a fve-reel
episode based largely on theatrical
life and it's vicissitudes.
The rapid rise to permanent popu-
larity of this talented Australian girl
has been one of the marvels of the
present year. She was we'll known as
a dramatic artist in Kangarooland,
but had never appeared on the screen
until she came to America, around
last Christmas, and applied to Joseph
De Grasse for work as an extra" in
his Bluebird company.
Struck by her charm and beauty
Mr.. De Grasse found a place for her
in minor part, in "The Grip of Jeal-
ousy." then being in process of max
ing. Before her first week had end
ed Miss Lovely was acting the leading
role and blossomed forth as star of
the sixth feature presented in the
popular Bluebird series.
Since that time she has been a
Bluebird star at fixed intervals of
every five weeks, having been as the
star in"Tangled Hearts" and in 1.-THE
Gilded Spider Now, as the star of
"Bobbie of the Ballet" she will be
seen in a role that is better suited
to her peculiar gifts of physical
charm and dramatic talent than has
been supplied by any photoplay Blue
bird has thus far provided her with.
There is an intense element of hu-

RICH GOLD LEDGE LONG LOST NOW
 BELIEVED FOUND

LEWISTON, Idaho, Sept. 13. = Joe Schooner, veteran prOspector of Idaho County, after twelve years of faithful labor, has uncovered the long-sought rich ledge on his min ing claims west of Elk City.
 In the early sixties. when the plac- CT miners operated in this section, pieces of rich quartz were often found in the sluices but the ledge was sought for in vain. Schooner ran open cuts, sank shafts and drove tunnels in his search for the hid den gold, until the mountain side looked like battle-scarred hill
 After sluicing off the side of the mountain he has uncovered the big ledge, four feet of the richest gold ever seen by any of the old-timers in the camp. The news of the strike has spread and miners are rushing to the district in large numbers.

CROP REPORT
 SHOWS GREAT
 CORN YIELD
Oats Productions Also Biggest Ever Known and Wheat Better
 Than in 1916.

WASHINGTON, Sept T. - By maiD Corn, the country's greatest crop, needs only a few weeks free dom from frost to mature into the largest production ever known in the history of the nation The gov ernment's September crop report to- day forecasts a production of 3,249,- 100000 Bushels, which is 24,000, 900 bushels more than produced in the record year, 1912.
 Corn prospects improved to the ex- tent of 53,000O00 bushels as a result of good weather during August, the Kansas crop showing improvement to the extent of almost 40,0oO,00 bushels and Missouri 23,000 000 bush els. Declines were reported in oth- CT States.
 Spring wheat yields are turning out better than expected and the September forecast showed an in crease of 14,000000 bushels over the production forecast in August with total of 250,000,000 bushels Add ing the winter wheat production, a total yield of 66S,000,000 bushels of wheat this year was announced. That is 28,000,000 bushels more than last years harvest, but 138,000000 bushels less than the average of the crops | for the five years, 1911-15.
 Besides the record crop of corn, larger production than ever before f xtyil hn har in with 533 100000 bushels; rye, with 56,- 000,000 bushels; white potatoes with 462 100000 bushels; sweet potatoes, with 88, 100000 bushels; tobacco with ,221 000, ,000 pounds, and hay, with 91, FOG, ,0O0 tons.
 Oats prospects increased 79,00O,000 bushels during August, but tobacco lost 49,000,000 pounds.
 1 Summary of Yield
 In a summary of crop conditions, the crop reporting board said:
 "The great corn crop of 3,225 ,000,- 900 bushels promised on September 1, which is 123. 3.000,000 bushels above any previous year, will be realized 1 fully in the form of sound corn on- l ly provided frost holds off unusually late. A good crop of sound corn is promised if killing frost in the main belt does not come earlier than usu- al. The indicated outcome results from big acreage rather than ex- ceptional promise of yield per acre. The oats crop for 1917, promised and largely realized on September 1, is 1.533.0OO.00o bushels, within 6,000,000 bushels of the greatest pre- vious crop. Conditions are reported 10 per cent above normal in Iowa and Missouri. In North Dakota, however, the crop promises only two-fifths, and in Montana, less than half of a normal yield, while it is less than twothirds in Washington and Oregon.
 The spring wheat report on Sep tember 1 promise 250,000,000 bash els, 14,000,000 bushels more than on August 1, early threshings having shown heavier yield than anticipated

ANOTHER TAkU EXCURSION

The Lone Fisherman will leave the Ferry Float at 6 o'clock Sunday morning, taking excursionists up the Taku. By making an early start passengers will have an opportunity for close view of the glaciers be- fore connecting with the river boat Cassiar The tides are favorable for the transfer of excursionists at Taku Point, eliminating the three-mile walk from the Indian village to the Road Construction camp. A landing will be made at Boundary, where camp fire will be built and coffee served. Passengers will bring their lunches.
 Weather conditions are much more mild in the Taku valley than on the coast so it is very unlikely that the days outing will be spent in the rain. Reservations should be made early at the Winter and Pond stores, as the party is limited to certain

HONOLULU FACES POLITICAL ISSUE
 THAT IS UNIQUE

HONOLULU, T. H., Aug 30.-(By maiD-Honolulu is facing a political situation unique in it's annals. With Democratic mayor and Republi- can board of supervisors, both at loggerheads over appointments, the taxpayers are wondering who is who.
 of appointments to municipal berths, numbering over 100 have been lay ing on the table as a result of the action of the supervisors while the mayors clamors for recognition of his prerogatives are given scant at tention. The outcome of it all is that the Republican holdovers from the past administration are still in office and jubilant while the Demo cratic office seekers are still out in
 All efforts of compromise having failed the Democrats have sought relief in the courts and what is re- garded as the forerunner of other suits to oust the holdoyers was filed today by Democratic leaders applying for an injunction to hold up the sal ary of the superintendent of parks and playgrounds and praying the court to set aside an ordinance en- acted by the Republican board talk ing away from the mayor the pow CT of appointments.
 Other suits contemplated aim to hold up the salary of the fire chief, water works superintendent. build lighting department.

O'CONNOR ADOPTS SEATTLE AS HOME
 FOR THE FUTURE

After nineteen years in the North during which he was eight times mayor of Douglas, prominent in the business affairs of the thriving little city and agent for the Humboldt Steamship Company, M. J. O'Connor, who left the Puget Sound country during the gold excitement days of 1898, has adopted Seattle as his home, says the Seattle Times of last Sunday.
 When the news of the big gold strike in the Klondike was flashed in charge of the drygoods depart ment of the Carbon Hill Coal Com panys general store in Carbondale. He decided to try his fortune in the north and joined the gold rush, sailing on the steamship City of Sc attle. O'Connor was one of the To-, 900 men who caught the gold fever about the same time and when the City of Seattle sailed for Alaska, ac cOmmOdatiOns were at premium.
 Anything But Pleasant Voyage
 q will never forget the trip to the North" said O'Connor yesterday "It was in January, 1898, and soon after we left Seattle we encountered a terrific storm. The wind blew one of the ships lights off the main mast and it struck a man, who was standing on the deck, killing him The vessel was crowded to the rail ings and it was anything but a pleasant voyage.
 We landed at Dyea, mushroom gold camp which had sprung up in night When the river opened in the spring, the whole population moved into the interior and the thriving city became memory. Some of the merchants remained and I opened a general store and stayed there until June. Then headed for Douglas and was a busi- ness man and resident of that city for nineteen years. I wanted to make it twenty years even, but there is prosperity in Seattle and I could not resist the opportunity to get in- to business here. 1 expect to go into the real estate business game and you can put me down as Seat tie booster from the start"
 O'Connor was president of the First Territorial Bank of Douglas until he left the North few days ago. This institution was the first organized under the Territorial laws of Alaska and was always in a thriv- ing condition. He built the City Dock in Douglas, the first municipal ly owned shipping terminal the city ever had had and did much to devel- op the commerce of the Southeastern Alaska district
 O'Connor was born in County Ker ry, Ireland, where his parents still live. He made trip back to the old sod in 1912 and also visited the principal cities of France and Eng land.
 q have brought my family with me and am in Seattle to stay" said O'Connor yesterday. q intend to leave my bones here. Seattle is just near enough to Alaska where lived and struggled so long and here can occasionally meet my old friends and talk over former days in the North"
