 William Hart played the part of the lumber-jack with all the lacOnic re straint and intensity that character izes his more typical roles. He drew the distinction between the types by making his Canadian bad men far more nervous and eXcitable than the stoical Westerners, with sudden darts of blue-blaZed temper which were true to the title. Gertrude Claire gave a touching portrayal of the trusting old mother, and Maud George was tenn pestuous half-breed.

BEST THEATRE.

In "Blue Blazes Rawden" William Hart demonstrates that he can be just as good bad man in the mackinaW and showshoes of a Canadian lum- herman as in the familiar sombrero and chapps of the Wild West. No one ever felt that Hart's dramatic effects
 were a matter of geography, and yet it comes as a gratifying surprise to find that he gives us the same thrills in an environment that is at least a continent apart from his usual hab- fiat. Aside from this unique combina- tion of start and setting, the story has the rate merit of originality. The hero is reformed, it is true, since the best justifications for Harts evil ways

 Here is Seward with more men employed during the past winter in or near than in previous years here is the word direct from Washington that the Alaska railroad will be completed between Anchorage and Seward; any man that delves into facts should know that more men have been working in the woods during the past winter, not only in getting out wood for fuel but timber for thes railroad than were ever employed before and scores O these men are still employed and when the off the ground scores will be put to work in the woods and hundreds of men will be put to work the ralrOad here is Seward trying to secure the fishing business for this region with excellent prospects of accomplishing the pur pose here is Manager Roberts of the San Juan Fishing & Canning Company stating positively that ninety per cent of the fishermen he talked with during the winter in Seattle who are fishing near Seward coming here this season dispose of their catch here this winter the hotels have done tremendous business travel over the trail to the interior and travel the trail from the n teror being heavy here in this city now fishermen, ready to construct certain plants weather and other matters permt-then why in the name ot common sense are there many kloyS in Seward in face of these facts.
