GOOD SHOW FOR
 T0NICHT'S BILL.
SENTS EXCELLENT FILM PLAY TONIGHT.

"Pasquale" is the picture selevted by MT. ThOrne for tOnights bill at Thorne's theatre. Regarding this film Manager Thorne last night said:
 This is an exceptional example of what can be done in the way of pre-. senting on the screen human charaC terizations properly put over with the little bits of detail which stirs the human emotions of an audience and registers with a ring of truth that is convincing and true to life.
 "AlthO MT. Beban has done some splendid work on the screen. this is undoubtedly his greatest creation, be- cause it is a character which has an unusual appeal, owing to the fact that it is found in almost every small town community in this country It would be impossible to enumerate all the bits of detail which MT. Beban has registered, because in almost every scene he has put over some simple little touch of nature which strikes home with startling vividness.
 'I can safely affirm that this offer ing is one of the biggest successes of the year MT Beban's work in the past has rstablsl2d him as ,n eX- ceptional character artist ahG this photoplay gives him the greatest op- portunitty of his screen career
 Helen Eddy as Margarita has a splendid opportunity for char9 tor portrayal that she handles in d man nnr which justified all of the promise of her small thts in previous produc- tiOns
 "The cast also includes Myrtle StCd- man, Nigel de Brullier, Page Peters and Jack Nelson as Charlie LarlIn.
 This is a story of the great war and my advice Is come and see it."

MEXICO MAKES
 EFFORT TO BUY
 PAPER SUPPORT

STATE DEPARTMENT IS INFORM.
 ED MEXICAN GOVERNMENT IS
 ATTEMPTING PURCHASE SUP
 PORT OF AMERICAN NEWSPA
 PIERS THRUOUT COUNTRY
 WASHINGTON, July LP)-The attention of the state department has been called to the many recent at tempts of the Mexican government to purchase the support of several American newspapers. The reports given the department state the Mexi- cans wish the newspaper space in defense of that country's policy to- ward American oil operators.
 According to the information on file with the state department the Mexican government is making deter mined attempts to inaugurate cam paign of propaganda in support of its oil policy. The reports state that, so far. that government has been un- able to find a single American paper which will sell il space or is willing to barter it's editorial columns.
 An investigation into these report pd attempts on the part of the Mexi- cans will probably be made by agents of the state department and if found true, the Mexican government will be officially notified to cease it's en- deavOrs in this direction.

YUKON LEAVES
 ON THRU TRIP
 FOR FAIRBANKS
WITH PASSENGERS AND LOAD OF FREIGHT FOR FAIRBANKS AND OTHER ALASKAN POINTS; <; SENATOR ABOARD.

DAWSON, '. T, July ,, Special to The Citizen) The steamer Yukon sailed yesterday bound direct thru to Fairbanks. There are a number of passengers aboard and also 1885 tons of freight for various points on the lower river. The majority of this freight is for Fairbanks ana Ne mana, altho the exact amount for either place was unobtainable before the steamer sailed,
 Territorial Senator IIeckman and wife, of Ketchikan, are passengers on the Yukon. 1t is the senator's plan to proceed direct to St Michael, mak- ing his visit to Fairbanks upon his return from that place and then pro- ceeding over the trail. It is possible the trip may be made to Fairbanks first, depending upon what connec- tions for St. Michael the senator can make when he arrives at Panama.
 Among those on board the Yukon is Mrs Charlotte Cameron, well known lecturer and author. She has travelled extensively and written many stories of the places visited, among them be ing "A Woman's Winter in Africa" :" "Marraquetta of Monte Carlo" "A Passenger in Morocco and "A Dur bar Bride It is her expectations to gather material for an Alaskan story while she is making this trip thru the interior.
 The passenger list of the Yukon follows:
 For Fairbanks Martin Knuppe, Mrs A. L. Reinor, J. R. McEllorey, R. T. Wolf and wife, Mrs. Charlotte Cameron, Otto Arnold, Mrs. Dave Cascaden, Mrs. Chas Ostrom and two children, Henry P Williams, with three children, Miss Vera Nichols and George Sharpe.
 For Nenana-Miss Leota Scott, C., s. Abbott, Eric Julien and Mrs. M. Waechter.

NO CHANGES BY SEVERE CUT Ill
 APPROPRIATIONS
SUPERINTENDENT MORRISON ON
 VISIT HERE SAYS PLANS ARE UNCHANGED BY FAILURE OF FULL APPROPRIATION TO PASS.

Superintendent Morrison, of the Alaska Road commission, who ne gently arrived from Chitina, stated yesterday to representative of The Citizen that he had been informed by Major Waugh that the appropriation contained in the Sundry Civil bill for passed by congress amounted to only $100,000 The senate increased the original amount as contained in the house measure to s3OO,O00. When the bill went to conference 1t was cut down to s1OO,OOO.
 In reply to a question Mir Morrison stated that the decrease in the appro- priation would not affect the plans of the commission for work on the Fairbanks-Valdez trail this summer, altho emergency work in certain sec tions might cause other sections to suffer some neglect, as the commission will not have any surplus fund upon which to draw to meet such cond- tions
 Such an emergency, he said. can LOW be found in the situation near Comfor., between Wortman's and Val dez.. At this point the river has changed it's channel and cut out two miles of the trail which necessitates new construction at once. MT. Morri- son has ordered repairs made at this point at once in order to open trail traffic from Valdez to interior points
 The commission still plans to eX- pend a total of $1S0,000 on the Fair banks Valdez trail during the present season. The coast scale of wages alone is being paid. This is S3.75 per day with board. While men can be obtained for this amount along the southern section of the big trail, in this immediate section the commis- sion is unable to get the men it wants as the labor market is higher Major Waugh, head of the A R. C., however, has not yet seen it to authorize an increased scale to meet local condi tons, and as a result work at this end suffers.
 Taken as a whole, however, Super intendent Morrison said, the trail is in good condition and is getting better as the summer sun dries up the muddy spots. The hole at the 9Mile road house, which almost blocked traffic for a time, has been filled in and gray eled and other needed work done by the tractor The trail is now in such condition as to put Birch Lake within a short drive from town and it is expected that Sunday parties will shortly make excursions to this spot for their outings.
 MT. Morrison left yesterday morn ing for Chitina He will stop over at various road camps, inspecting tho work being done as he progresses sOuthward. He expects to retrun to- Fairbanks about August 1.

LOCAL CLUB IS
 TELLING ABOUT
 OUR FAST MAIL
SHOWS NATIONAL COMMERCIAL ORGANIZATION WHY ANSWERS ARE OCCASIONALLY DELAYED; ASKS FOR AN INTERESTING REFEkk,NEUM.

Occasionally the Fairbanks Com merCiaI Club gets a letter or parcel which is of some importance which has been in an encounter with the Alaska mail service and emerged second best from the contact Some of these happen to come from the United States Chamber of Commerce, a central organization of all the af- filiated commercial bodies in the country, and one which is accustomed to doing things on schedule time.
 Such a case was recently prot to mailed out referendum question to all members asking for a vote from each club and calling for returns in Washington, D. C., by June 1, 1919. The question reached Fairbanks on June 27th, and consequently no vote was taken by the local club.
 Thinking it a good chance to boost for a better mail service Secretary Erwin immediately sent an explana- tion of the failure to comply with in struCtions and asked for a referen- dun on Shall Alaska be Given an Adequate Mail Service?' This let ter follows:
 Fairbanks, Alaska, June 27, 1919. Chamber of Commerce of the United
 States, Riggs Building, Washing
 ton, D. c,
 Gentlemen:
 Referendum No. 27 mailed by you to us on April 18th, 1919, was re ceived today at 10 o'clock a. m. June 2O. I notice that balloting closed on this May 3lst, 1919. l have had sev- eral letters from you stating that you had not received the vote, but as I have taken the matter up with you several times before on these and explained how, on account of our poor mail service, 1t was impossible for us to get our vote in in time to be counted, l did not answer any of your letters.
 Perhaps you might get out a refer endum something like this:
 Shall Alaska be given an adequate mail service?-All the mail all the time."
 If you look up statistics you will find that Alaska is always doing her part, and more. According to popu- lation we lead every state in the Union in Liberty Loan buying, and we had more boys in the draft, and they averaged higher physically than from any place in the U. S.
 What do we get in exchange? Our mail is sent by freight from Seattle to ocean ports in Alaska. Our second class matter for interior is held up from October until the following June, at least a great portion of it is. On the first thru down river boat this spring, which arrived here on Ist June there were fourteen hun dred Q,400) sacks of mail, and we are now getting our last years maga- zines out of the post office.
 "ALASKA CAN PAY THE
 NATIONS WAR DEBT" if the United States will only do what it is in duty bound to do-give us a mail service. Why not come to Alaska with their experimentation in airplane mail service, where there is an absolute need of it. There are post offices in Alaska that only get about two mails year that could be reached in two or three hours flight by airplane. This is the logical place to give the air service try.
 Can your organization help Alaska?I
