One of the most striking and popu- lar favcrites who ever graced the musical comedy stage-Josephine Whittel-will make her debut in Ali mony," the sensational divorce dra- ma to be shown at the Orpheum Friday and Saturday.
 Miss Whittell has the important role of Mrs. Bernice Bristol Flint, who with the other two characters interpreted by Lois Wilson and George Fisher forms the big triangle of the play.
 Miss Whittel went on the stage be cause it sent for her. Born in Phoe nix Arizona, and educated in the San Francisco private school, she real zed, at the age of fifteen years, that she possessed a beautiful voice. This inspired her parents to send her to Europe to study. She remained in Paris for two years, studying voice culture under the tutelage Of the great Spriglia.
 Upon her return to America in 1912, Miss Whittell met and was mar ried to Robert Warwick, the noted matinee idol. Shortly after this she was sought by George Conan, who made her his leading woman in "The Little Millionaire" at the Cohan Theatre Her successive appearances were with Lima Abarbanell in Miss Princess; the prima donna in Vic tor Herbert's operetta. "The Madcap Duchess; in Victor Herbcrt's "The Only Girl" and with Donald Brian and Julia Sanderson in "Sybil."

TEXAS HAS ONLY HELIUM PLANT
 IN THE W0RL D

The United States Government is now interested in a novel building pro 5ect involving an outlay of approxi mately S900000. It is constructing z helium plant, the only one in the world at North Fort Worth, Tex, and it is expected that it will be in operation before May 1. This will give impetus to building in the Texas city, according to reports received by the United States Department of Labor.
 Helium which American scientists have learned how to develop as means of aiding aerial warfare, removes the danger of fire in the filling of gas bal looms It is said to have about 92 per cent of the lifting power of hydrogen aud is not inflammable. The products of certain natural gas wells in Clay Country, Tex, have been found best fitted fer he attractions of heliu.n, and this will be piped to Fort Worth.
 After America entered the war the problem Of the industrial production of helium was referred to the Unitcf States Bureau of Mines, and an exncr' mental plant was erected at a cost of S230,000 The location of this expert mental plant was hidden, as far as possible, and the experiments con ducted by the experts assigned to f were kept secret, soldiers being OF guard duty night and day, and new papers not being permitted to mcnti it.
 When helium is manufactured in large quantities experts say that it will be possible for large passenger and freight airships to become vehicles of everyday use.

Railroad Organization
 To Be Kept Intact

Anchorage, (By MaiD Despite the fact that the siXty-fifth congress ad- journed March 4 without having passed the civil sundry bill, carrying 74,000, ,000 for the prosecution of construction and operation activities on the gov ernment railroad, the Alaskan Engi- neering Commission, which has charge Of the transportation system, hopes to keep it's organization intact for all rractical purposes and to continue work on a limited scale.
 Until an appropriation shall be made by congress, which cannot be done un- til the extra session next June, no new construction work will be undertaken by the Commission and operation and maintenance will be somewhat cur tailed.
 At the time of the adjournment of congress, there was available to the Commission about s3OO,OOO remaining from the previous appropriation. Plans have been formulated for making this amount meet the expense of necessary work until about July l.
 In an effort to assist the Commits sion, the Anchorage Chamber of Com merce recently adopted resolutions ask ing the Secretary of the Navy to spend in working the Eska and Chickaloon coal mines the $1,000,000 that congress last summer appropriated for use hy him in prospecting and developing coal lands in Alaska with view to ob- taining fuel supplies for naval ships. Trese mines which employ about 200 men, are now operated by the Comis- shops and buildings and also to culn- mercial patrons in towns along the line of the road. If the operation of the mines were temporarily taken over by the secretary of the navy. he with the money at his disposal not only could greatly expand their activities but would save to the Commission funds badly needed by it in its other departments. The request to the secretary of the navy is based on the desirability of af- fording opportunity of employment to returned and retcrning soldiers. If the request is granted, all the Anchorage young men who have or soon will come home can obtain positions either at the coal mines or on the rairoad. If the naval money is withheld,g reat diff ficulty will be experienced in making places for returned soldiers.

]. R. HECKMA AN GOES BACK TO
 H|S WORK
Declares Principal Work Of Legislators Is Rais-
 ing Money

You ask me what the legislature iE doing?" Senator J. R. Heckman said last evening just before sailing on the Northwestern for Juneau, Well, wt are not doing half as much as We would like to do."
 Tn the first place" he said, "we find that our treasury is not in as good g financial condition as We would like and therefore the most important thing We have to do is to raise money. TC do this, taxes have to be raised. Dur ing the year 1918, the Fisheries paid T 3-4 per cent of the taxes of the Ter litory and from present indications the fish will have to stand another raise," he lamented.
 Commenting on his fellow legislators MT. Hickman said, T must say tha' the legislators are the finest bunch o' men I ever had anything to do witi and I don't believe Alaska will ever have a better crowd again, although they all seem to think the Fisheries should pay more taxes" he added rue fully.
 Tt will cost the territory about $500, 900, for the schools in the next two years, Pioneers Home s100,000, Pen sions s50,000, and there will have to be at least s1OO,0O0 appropriated fol health and sanitary, to take care oi the flu, and many other smaller a mounts, so you see We must increase the taxes" MT. Hickman explained.
 Indications are" he declared,' that the eight-hour law will pass, with time and one half for overtime. Of course you know it is dangerous to persons health to work over eight hours with out extra pay!"
 There is no doubt but that my Hatchery Bill will pass" MT. Heck man said hopefully, land if it does. will see that the Governor get it be iCF we duJOuT. LdSC SeSSlOh II was loo' on account of the carelessness of the clerk of the Senate in not presenting il to the Governor before the close of the session.
 Mir. Heckman concluded by adding that it was his opinion that there was no question but that the Charcoal Point Road would be built this summer, since the 100000 appropriated last session by the legislature was all used in tho north end of this division, and it was to be expected that the Ketchikan dis trict should get at least one half of the appropriation made this yedr 70 be used in this section.
