POLITICS

1t is political year again, with its
candidates, its graft charges. and its
petty scheming for office. Louisiana
is to elect full quota of state and par
ish officials. A new movement is max
ing itself felt to some degree in the
south end of the state, a movement
having for its alleged purpose the
cleaning up of politics, the ousting of
the ring. 1t will probably have can
didates in the field.
Politics will absorb the interest of
thousands of men. In its ramifications
it will take in bill posters, newspaper
men with all of the divisions of the
printing trades, speech-makers, law
yers, the paper business, garages and
automobiles. theaters, railroads, and
scores of other lines of business. Dur
ing the next few months as result
of the political upheaval, hundreds of
office-seekers will be disappointed.
hundreds will be put out of office, and
many hundreds Of thousands of dollars
will be spent.
It is costly business, this changing
officials. But it has to be done every
four years. And soon we will again be
in the throes Of the change of officials.

Vivian Martin scores an artistic tri-
umph in her characterization of elm
dy," a sweet, unsophisticated little
gi1l who has been brought up never
to commit wrong or tell lie. 1t
is a delightful role and is handled by
Miss Martin in charming and artis-
tic manner.
This girl was so innocent and un-
acquainted with the paths of crime
that she thought that she had COM
mitted a felony when she merely held
up letter from domineering land
lady, addressed to a poor family
across the street who were in des-
perate straits and which she was GER
tain was an order for the family to
vacate the premises.
A delightful romance is woven into

situation which shows how the simple
innocence of this little girl results in
the regeneration of a young man who
had once been a thief and who was
about to yield again to temptation and
pursue the forbidden paths Of crime.

discovery of that nature having been

The scientific theory has beeen that

them through long ages that began

Some of those found have been SO
well preserved in the ice that their
flesh was still fresh and solid (the
greatest cases of cold storage on rec
ord); and dogs to which it was fed
ate it with avidity.
Mr. Valallin stated that the bodies
as seen through the crystal ice, had
black hair, like those of the present

CITY OF MEXICO, October. 90
From a recent report issued by the
Department of Commerce and Indus
try, the following interesting statis-
tics on oil development in Mexico are
taken.
Exploration of Mexico's oil fields
began about 1900 and has BEEN con-
Quoted since by the Mexican Petrol
cum Company of California, the Brit
ish firm of Pearson & Son, the Huas-
teca Company, the Tepetate Com
pany and others.
Vessels now available to convey oil
from Mexico to foreign markets have
an approximate capacity of 100000
tons, and their value is placed at
$9O,00O,0OO. In addition to that
the value of pipe lines in operation is
estimated at $5O,OOO,OOO, and storage
depots at $eO,OOO,OOO, bringing the
total of those investments to $2OO,OOO
900. The pipe line system is 78O
miles long, and steel tanks for storing
oil have an aggregate capacity of &c.
100000 barrels.

THE TRAP
A Thrilling MelOdrama, Featuring
Olive Tell at the NOgales Theatre
Tomorrow

| Jean Carson, a New York school
teacher, left the comforts of her
home city and went to the Klondike,
there with her father, to cajole the
pitiless Harpy, Gold. Two men came
into her life. One was a man in
every fibre of his being. The other
was his brother, a blackguard.
Both professed to love the girl. The
decision between them was an ordeal.
Then her father and Ned Fallon, the
real man, went away on a prospect
ing. trip, and Steve Fallon, the broth
er, frightened the girl into marrying,
him secretly.
A few days after the marriage
Steve came home and in a drunken
rage told the girl he had a a~Wife in
Seattle. She went back to her faith
er's cabin to wait for his return. Dad
came back empty handed. She was
afraid to tell him of her trouble. Ned
returned triumphant, with a fortune
in his mine.
But the girl met him with downeast
eyes. She evaded him. She waved
aside his efforts to plead his love.
Then she went away to New York
married the man she loved. Happi-
ness was hers for six years. Then
came the man who witnessed her mar
riage. With SANDER and insinuation
he tried to run course of black
mailing.
The story of the Trap, which em-
bodies the situations enumerated, was
written by Richard Harding and
Jules Erkert Goodman, put into seem
ario by Eve Unsell, and produced for
the Universal Company under
the direction of Frank Reicher. The
picture is booked for the Nogales
Theatre Tomorrow.

REGULATIONS WILL PERMIT
 USE OF GAME
Government Will Soon Is- sue Rules Which Will Permit Use of Legally
 Killed ,Game After
 End of Season.

New game regulations will be is sued shortly which will in a large measure give the people of the In terior the relief that was sought through the Sulzer game bill which was opposed so strongly by Dr. w. T Hornaday of the New York Zoologi- gal Park, who was coached by Judge Wickersham.
 The regulations will provide a method whereby the people may use legally killed game after the close of the open season.
 There has been a great demand on the part of the miners and pros pectors and others of the Interior for a more liberal use of game. The present laws permit the killing of enough game to satisfy the demands of the people, but they do not permit of the distribution of the kills in such way as to make all the game meat that is killed available for all the people. Therefore the Fairbanks Commercial Club started a movement
 
 season to be used after the close of the season, and to be sold to those who are too busy to kill game them selves. The new regulations are designed to meet this demand as nearly as the laws now in existence will permit.
 The adoption of these regulations was one of the results of the visit of Gov Thomas Riggs, Jr., at Wash ington.
 Has Approval of Big Game Hunters Gov. Riggs attended meeting of the Boone and Crockett Club in New York, and one of the leading big game organizations of the country, and the proposed regulations and the legislation proposed in the Sul2eT bill which was considered by Con gross at the last session met with Hts approval
 Many of those interested in the preservation of game in the United States, who had got the wrong idea nf the legislation proposed that was designed to make the use of the game killed in Alaska available for practical purposes, have seen that they were in error, and will not again oppose the proposed legisla tion," said Gov. Riggs.
