STATE NORMAL TO PRESENT BIG
WESTERN COMEDY MARCH 2.
The Girl from l. Ranch" to be Pre-
scented by Cast of State Nor
NAL Students.
1t is seldom that a Thriller"
practicable for amateurs combines
opportunity for good character por-
trayal as well as mere incident. THE
Girl from l. Triangle Ranch" how
ever, is one of those rare vehicles
Tor amateurs which aside from the
interest it commands through the
plot, allows each member of the cast
to make of his part a leading role.
The play, although a comedy with
laugh every ten minutes, has a
very serious plot which does not per.
init Of any impromptu stage business.
In the rehesrsals this point has been
kept constantly in mind by the d.
rector who has left not the smallest
detail for the inspiration of the mo-
ment."
Three Acts Completely Staged.
The stage setting requires three
outdoor scenes. In Act |, exterior Of
the typical Western Hotel and Store,

the Mexican border and the third the

been painted especially for this pro,
duction by one Of the largest scenic
studios of the country The excel
lence Of the setting enhanced by an
elaborate system of electrical efforts
ought to render the staging of the
play most effective.
Large Cast.
Western life seems never to lose
it's thrill for us. This is SO because
the most interesting thing in the
world people are bit different there
The characters of this play are typi-
cal of that life, especially near the
border.
Those playing parts are:

KL0WACKS MOST PR0GPE ESSIVE NATIVES
 IN ENTIRE ALASKA
Have Advanced Far Greater Than Any Native Center in
 The North

The natives of Klowak are nothing if not progressive. As a matter of fact they have outdistanced any tribe in the entire of Alaska.
 Speaking to Professor Hibbs of that place yesterday, many examples were brought out to show that those people have minds of their own which they use with good results.
 It was the Klowackans who were first in organizing their community in to an incorporation, after the territor iaI legislature passed law authorizing such organization It was the same peo- pie who organized and incorporated the first cooperative store in Alaska and made a success of it. So much so that despite the odd season last year, a dividend was declared of twelve per cent recently. It was the same people who, practically unaided by the govern ment built one of the best school build ings in the territory at their own ex- pense. It is only few days ago that the same people organized what is known as the "Klowack Brotherhood" an organization designed to help every member of that community They wrote their bylaws and had their cer- tificates of membership printed with just as much elegance as a multimil- lionaire organization.
 It was learned yesterday from Prof. Hibbs that the school boasts of 92 pu- pills enrolled with an average attend ance of 80. One of the pupils of that school won a gold medal at the Metla- katla fair this week, getting the first prize.
 For many years, their posoffice has been kept across the bay from their village at the North Pacific Trading & Packing Company's office, now they have learned that it is to be transfer red to their village proper and post master will be appointed, presumabl- one of the natives will be appointed Professor Hibbs ably assisted by Mrs Hibbs and their assitant, Miss Forest, government teachers, supervise things in general and are apparently happy in their work of not only teaching the children of the community, but taking care of the sick besides the manage ment of the large cooperative store that has thrived above all expectations

TIE PRIZE COURT AWARDS 4 LARGE SUM
 OF MONEY
Each Man to Receive 20 Dollars for His Share in
 Sinking Of Tranport

The heaviest loss of life at sea in a single naval engagement since the war began was that in the sea of Mar mora on May 10, 1915, when the Tur- kish transport Gul Canal was torpe- doed by a British submarine and sunk with the loss of 6,2OO lives. Particu- lars of the sinking were given only a few days ago in the prize court. Of the incident, the London Times of Feb ruary 19 says:
 The Gul Canal was formerly the British ship, Ottawa, and before that, the Germania. She was bought by the Turkish government some time before the war and converted into a trans port. At the time of the sinking she was carrying 5000 Turkish troops from Galata to Gallipoli, together with a field battery of six 75 nm Krupp guns.
 "The story was told in the prize court owing to the application of the crew Oi lllG E-lf LOI lhC Pl lAC DOulAlJ of five pounds head which the Brit ish law allows to men of war who sink enemy warships The amount claim ed in this case is G31, ,000 Counsel for the E-14 in introducing the case said:
 This is a large sum, but soldier is worth hundreds of pounds, and prize bounty at 6 head for sinking coco of them is small in comparison. We contend that the transport was an arm ed ship within the meaning of the prize bounty act. She was a perman- ent constituent of the Turkish navy. As early as 1908 it was the practice to arm permanently some of the Turkish troopships.
 "In this particular case, the Gul Ga nal had aboard field artillery as well as men armed with rifles, and she was therefore a very formidable op- ponent to a submarine
