 ID FAIRBANKS
War Tax on Theatre Admissions Make, Small Coins Absolutely
 Essential in Interior

The first dimes and nickels that ever went into Fairbanks. Alaska, were shipped in after the new war tax on motion picture theatre admis- siOnS went into effect. to meet the problem of making small change. i says the Oregonian of Portland. Or.
 F. w. Talbert. special representa- ,; tive of the Universal Film company, who has returned to Portland from a three months and half trip through the coast cities of Alaska. told of the shipping of the cargo of dimes and nickels from Cordova to R. l.. Thorn, just before Mir. Talbert left Alaska to return to Portland.
 Heretofore everything in Fair banks has cost 25 cents. 50 cents and so on in multiples of 25 cents,' says MT. Talbert. "The rise of five cents in , theatre admission prices brought in the problem of odd change. The films shown in the interior towns of Alaska now are those re leased in the states from one to two years ago. The big drawback To get ting film service into Alaska is the fact that there is a ten-day schedule in summer and fifteen to eighteen days in the winter to the coast cities, and it takes much lOhser to get them by dog team to the interior This makes it entirely impractical to take new films off the service in the states and let them idle through the long trip to and from the interior of Alas ka. As result the hlms are used in ali the theatres in the states before they go up to the interior Alaskan towns.
 Strangely enough current events and weeklies are what the people want worst of all.
 Buys Film Outright
 This demand is met by buying the films outright from the Seattle ex- changes. taking them up to Alaska and putting them through the circuit of the coast cities. Captain A. E. La throp. who controls theatres in Cor dova, Seward. Valdez and Anchor age. buys the films. puts them on to the circuit and then sends them on to the other cities. They. are six weeks old when they go out of Seattle and the run along the coast cities is about sixty days. They then send them in- to the interior cities by sled and per haps this weeks current events film will reach Nome audiences some time late next spring.
 "In spite of the handicap of trans portation against which they must work. there are a number of excel lent theatres in Alaska, in Anchorage. Cordova. Valdez. Juneau. Ketchikan, etc.
 Shy of Mining Plots
 "One kind of film the exhibitors in Alaska fight mighty shy of is tho film that is made up on the plot of a mining story. Their audiences know the mining game down to the ground. and the way that the hero of the av- craze moving picture strikes his pick into mud bank and pulls out for tune. doesn't get by with an AlaskaAr audience for a second.
 They've tried one or two mining films there. but they won't run 'em on bet now. It's safer to book COW boy and New York society films. in which the detail won't meet with such | critical eye"

was Gen. H. H. Sibley, who was given
command in Minnesota following the

west OF the Missouri river. One Of
his most famous battles was fought
near the site of the present city of
