WESTERN LEAGUE IN NEED OF TERRITORY

The Western League Is in need of new territory in lining up it's 1918 circuit, but in getting the goods it is expected to play Santa Claus to several budding cities and give away franchises with a lavish hand Oklahoma City and Tulsa had the Western League fever several weeks ago, but apparently lost interest when the discovery was made that franchises cost money and that the Dickerson organization has no inten tion of putting on presentation party.
 Now that Quincy. Peoria, and Han nibal-burgs located in the Mississ- ippi river region-to proclaim that they, too, have Western League as porations, providing the league will only hand them something on a plat ter. It seems than Quincy and Han nibal are planning to go in cahoots by splitting the ball games between the two burgs, said scheme being contingent upon free grant of a franchise and the addition of Peoria as a league member.

CHOSTLY ISLE
 OF MYSTERY ON
 ALASKAN COAST

Lonely in its solitude, stern and forbidding, wrapped in eternal mist Ironing and sullen, about 80 miles to the southwest of Kodiak stands Chirikof, the island of ghosts. Sur rounded by dangerous reefs, and stormy seas, it is at best uninviting a place and is seldom visited unless stress and storm makes a landing there imperative.
 Nature has made the place repul- size and legend has added to its terrors. Natives passing give the place wide berth, and nothing short of dire necessity would cause them to land there, preferring to take the most desperate chances with storm and sea rather than set foot on it's inhospitable shores for, legend has peopled the island with ghosts, whose walkings and meanings and the clanking of whose chains strike terror to the stout est heart. Those whom necessity have compelled to stop there tell lH6 tdlCo Ol tiIC uhoOCh III habitants of that desolate place, of the moans and cries which filled the air during the hours of dark ness, and drove them at the first opportunity to seek other shelter. For Chirokof, according to the leg ends of the natives, was the pris- on of the early Russian inhabitants of Kodiak. To this bleak and des- olate island were banished the of fenlers against the Russian law or the edicts of the officials in com mand of the Russian settlement.
 Tales of horrible cruelties visited upon these unfortunates are handed down in the Native legends; how the offenders loaded with chains were landed at Chirikof and left to their own resources. There was no escape, and the unfortunates prey to the horrible sufferings from hun ger and exposure eked out ter rble existence until death reliev- ed them of their sufferings.
 Many years have passed since the last of these unfortunates pass ed away, but their restless spirits still moan, according to the tales of the Natives, this bleak and deso- late island filling the air with their lamentations and the clanking of their chains So vivid are these stories that even the white men shudder as they pass the unhallow- ed spot, and. like the Natives, they pass it by without landing. No lure of possible mineral wealth induces the hardy prospector to visit this awesome place, it is summed by all, and so dark and sullen it lies untenanted except by the wild foul and it's ghostly inhabitants.-Val- dez Miner.

man can in a hayrack. Mollie King, the Pathe star, heroine of "The Seven Pearls," new serial, proves the truth of this saying. When "The Seven Pearls" company has to be away "on location" over night she dispenses with suitcases or handbag and merely carries her little leather makeup case. This is miniature affair about ten inches long by eight wide. In this, besides her makeup outfit she packs a silken nightgown, toilet articles, several handkerchiefs, an extra pair of stockings and various other sun dry articles.

SP0R I s

Butte will not have a Pacific Coast International League baseball franchise during 1918, at least
 At an informal meeting held in the office of President Robert Blew cit recently, the decision was ar rived at.
 Blewett, Dugdale of Seattle, Russ Hall of Tacoma were in attendance, and Judge McCredie of Portland and F. c. Carr of Spokane voted over long-distance telephone.
 AS result of this change the league will go along with five regu- larly organized clubs, the sixth to comprise the Camp Lewis team. One club will always be free to play at the camp as a result.
 Since H. w. Davey, president of the Butte Club. came out with his scathing denunciation of the old Northwestern League and his pitt full tale of the financial condition of his club, the magnates have been been thinking the matter over It kept sinking in that sending Bob. Brown to Butte, as had been planned would be just worthless waste of money. Hence the meeting.

 Throughout her lengthy career as a Paramount star, Vivian Martin has appeared in numerous roles which called for the donning of boys attire, and require the little actress to perform feats that do not usually fall to the lot of an actress
 In "The Sunset Trail" she is a child in the hills; in "The Trouble Buster'' she will be seen as waif of the streets-and in both in stances she not only offers an en- tirely different conception but is likewise perfectly at home.

Entirely New Theme
 Worked Out in Broadway

Sport" Now at Palace.
 Stuart Holmes appears in an en- tirely new type of role in his lat est production for William Fox, "The Broadway Sport" Those who have hissed and hated that cool, debon- air villain of countless Fox plays, who have pitied him as the repent ent pastor in "The Scarlet Letter. and who have sympathizcd with him as the outcast in The Derelict, " have novel sensations in store for them when they see Stuart Holmes as a spectacled, awkward small town gawk, the clerk in a small mill owned by the local power in ti- nance
 Not even his boss's tyranny can crush the latent villainy in Holmes. It flares forth in all it's glory when he robs a couple of crooks of the money they extracted from the mill safe
 Visions of what he could do on Broadway with that roll prove too uluCH lOI HIS HOlIeSty anu tHtIeDy hangs the story. Suffice it to say that when Holmes plants his No. 12's on the Geat White Way he sets I pace which leaves the veteran habitues gasping for breath.
 Supporting Mr. Holmes in "The Broadway Sport" is a cast picked with Carl Harbaugh's characteris- tic exactness and skill. Playing next to MT. Holmes is Wanda Petit, l wistful golden-haired discovery of Director Harbaugh. Her first screen appearance in "The Derelict" has already won her a big place in the hearts of film fans.

Alice Brady Makes Good in Miss Petticoats. :"

CttASOettos
 Miss Alice Brady appeared last night at the Coliseum in Miss Pet ticoats," which will be repeated to- night for the last time.
 Miss Petticoats is pretty young mill. worker who lives with her old grandfather, a whaling captain in New Bedford, Mass. Miss Petit coats parentage was the subject of much gossip in the village, with many covert remarks and inuendos heaped upon her Miss Petticoats stopped a runaway and saved the life of the wealthy Mrs. Copeland, who, being shrewd and kindly wo- man, rewarded her by giving her a position as her secretary.
 Guy Hamilton, spoiled nephew of Mrs. Copeland, resents Miss Petit coats entrance into the home, fear ing she might share inheritance or favors from Mrs. Copeland. Mrs. Worth Courtleigh, a young married woman in love with Guy, also is very jealous of the girl, fearing her power over Guy. Guy is gradually attracted to Miss Petticoats, takes her about and thereby makes Mrs Worth Courtleigh very jealous. She spreads a report of the girls par entage and her relations with Guy the result being that Miss Petit coats is snubbed by the women and ie ictr Worth Cnnrt- leigh gets Guy to take her to a questionable place, and then leads the public to believe Miss Petit coats was with him. She is summed by everyone, and when she ques- tions Guy, he makes an insulting proposal that they goN>to the city together. Mrs. Copeland alone stands by Miss Petticoats. Her aged grandfather learns of the news through an anonymous letter and the shock kills him.
 Mrs. Copeland and Miss Petit coats shunnel by villagers, they go to France, where Miss Petticoats finds her paternal grandfather and is acknowledged by him just before his death, and she comes into title and a fortune, and returning, she is a queen of society. Harding, g young minister, had been in love with her since childhood, and he had always resented slurs cast up- on her.
 Before her death, Mrs. Worth Courtleigh confesses her part in running Miss Petticoats and in weakening and demoralizing Guy. The latter tries to renew with Miss Petticoats, but he is scorned, and Miss Petticoats takes Harding for better or worse"
