INTERIOR FOR M'BRIDE.

Exchanges coming on recent boats arriving in Ketchikan. says the Ketchikan Alaska Chronicle, includ- cd a number from Interior Alaska, including The Nenana News and the Fairbanks News-Minar, both ot which show that the Republican clubs of those towns endorsed J. C. McBride for national committeeman of the Republican party.
 Throughout the Territory, re marks the Chronicle, all the news papers except those controlled by Heron show conclusively that the sentiment of the rank and file of party members is for Mcbride. and that they will be on election day.
 Tn addition to the reports from the Interior come adviceS from An chorage and Seldovia that MT. Her ron will fare badly at the hands of the voters, many of whom are fish ermen, who allege that they were treated shamefully by the candidate for national committeeman in the matter of payment for their sea- sons work, or rather in the matter of non-payment. While the Heron forces claimed to have the solid labor vote of Ketchikan, the Chron icle is informed by Mir. ". C. Reed. the secretary of the ketchikan To- cal, that such is not the case. The sentiment in the labor ranks of Ktchikan, because ct the reports coming from Anchorage and Sel- dovia, is far from being friendly toward Mir. Heron, 1t appears.

A TERRITORIAL CONsTABULARY

It is more than a score of years since the editor of the Juneau Elm pire began newspaper making In Alaska. In all the period that has elapsed since. he writes in 9 recent issue of The Empire, there has never been many months go by that some prominent Alaskan, some com mercial body. some fraternal organ ization or some newspaper has not spoken out in favor of the estao- lishment of an organization similar to the Canadian mounted police in Alaska. As citizen and official. Governor Riggs has favored it for a dozen years or more. He is one Of many in Alaska who have done so.
 The editor of The Empire has never favored it. He has never brought himself to believe that the good such an organization could do and there is much good that it could do-would be worth risking the dangers of an inquisitorial con- stabulary that is so foreign to the individual liberties of Americanism. Yet, many of the best citizens and finest officials Alaska has had dur ing the past score years have fla vored such an organization, and pro- tested that opposition to it was the oretical rather than practical. Among these is Governor Riggs.

Montpelier will have one of the
finest show houses in the state of
Idaho when the new theatre in tho
Stevens building s-cnmpleted. A
glance at the interior arrangements
of the theatre is enough to convince
anyone that there are few theatres
in the state that are better than this
one will be when completed. The
lobby will be roomy, giving ample
space for displaying advertising ma
terial without croWding. This same
convenience is worked out in the hall
and aisles. Theauditorium is con-
veniently laid out, wide and average
depth. giving patrons a closer view
of the screen than is had in longer
and narrower buildings. The bal
cony offers a splendid view of the
stage. and the projecting room is
set back out of the way.
Some difficulty is being expert
eneed in getting seats from the east,
but Mr.. Brough is confident that
