Industries:

a residential section.
While it is true that in the event
additional industries could be encour-
aged to locate within our city limits
and thereby increase the tax revenue
of the city, perhaps making it possi-
bic to reduce taxes somewhat upon
residential property, still / do not be-

his experience as a property man enabled him to render valuable as sistance in the encouragement of the stage and in looking after the other details so necessary to the success of a show of that character. For an opening production, on a new stage and with a new company, the smoothness with which things moved approached the remarkable.
 Rio Grande" was presented un- der the auspices of the Nenana Com- mercial club. to which organization the proceeds go after all expenses have been paid, the division of gross receipts being on sixty-forty basis, the club getting the sixty percent. There was very little expense in connection with the presentation, the members of the company having donated their services and furnished their own costumes. The cost of direction was much under that usu- ally paid for such services and the other expenses were approximately small. The gross receipts totaled slightly less than $500.
 Miss J. O'Bryan, Mrs Printz and the Fairbanks Clothing company as sisted in the costuming, without cost to the company, and Mrs. Leon Kel- lum contributed her services, assist ing the members of the company to make up.

the Coliseum occupied. company of local amateurs, under the direc- ton of F. J. Date, gave finished presentation of the three-act com Iedy-drama, Rio Grande," on Satur- day night, and every moment of the evenings entertainment was thor oughly enjoyed by the large audi ence. The play was we'll staged, cleverly acted, and went off with la smoothness that would have done credit to company of profession ials. Applause was frequent and en- thusiastic and at the end of the first and second acts it was necessary to
 ring up the curtain to give the per- formers opportunity to acknowledge ! the tumultuous tribute to their eff forts. Music for the production was
 furnished by the Coliseum orches- {; tra. augmented by Mrs. Bert John ison.
 ! All of the characters were well sustained. and so we'll did the per l formers know their lines that there
 was not a break during the show ! a remarkable record for a company iof amateurs making their first ap- !pearance before an audience. They were all novices, with the exception l of Director Date, who not only played the villain in real profession
 al style, like the clever actor he is,
 but also kept things going in way ] that contributed as much to the success of the show as the playing itself.
 E! The curtain rose in the first act ion scene showing a room in the
 garrison at Fort Lanark, New Mex
 ico. It found Judge Riggs (Mr. l Robert B. Eames) and Mrs. Biggs i Miss Ruth Moir), the judges guild
 ing star, engaged in conversation.
 and the manner in which they in-
 terpreted their difficult roles cap-
 tured the audience at the very out ,set. They furnished a large share
 of the comedy of the evening, and did it i1 . manner that showed un- usual ability. . i Miss Dorothy de la Pole, as Mamie,
 belle of the nineteenth century, and Mir. W. A. Coghill, as Lieuten- iant Cadwallader, an American aris- Etocrat and holiday soldier, also had
 comedy roles, and they were both splendid. Miss de la Pole was stun- ming in her frequent changes of lcostume, and perfectly at ease on the stage at all times. Coggy, in makeup and performance, was all :that the writer of the play intended, iand then some. He was good all the way through.
 MT. R. C. Morris played the part iof Corporal Casey, an old vet, and ldid it we'll, contributing much to :the comedy end of the program The role had its limitations, but Mir
 Morris made the most of it and was ion good terms with the audience throughout Walter Scott, as John my Bangs, dreadful dime-novel Idesperado, also was on the comedy side of the program and was very tthcrough in his work. He both
 looked and acted the part in a man.

 ing much dramatic ability, hut also smoothing the way for the othes
 members of li.e company.
 The new Coliseum stage, on which
 the show was given, was prepared
 especially for the presentation of i'Rio Grande," with settings as good as will be found anywhere. All of the scenery was painted with a view to carrying out the theme, and con- trlDuted m no small measure 10 the success of the play. The back drop and side wings shown during the
 second act represented a realistic
 scene on the Rio Grande. The Col

BIRTH RATE IN N. Y.
 INCREASING RAPIDLY

NEW YORK, Sept. 13. - Despite tho high cost of living, shortage or housing and the scarcity of domes- tlc servants. the actual birth rate in New York City is going up at n rapid rate, according to health authorities statistics issued here.
 The figures show that the birth rate per thousand for the first seven months of 1920 was 22.34, against the rate of a190 in the same period last year.
 While the birth rate is on the in- crease, the health departments sta tistics show, that the death rate of children in the city is on the de- cline. The rate of infant mortality for the past year on each 1000 births was S3, while the preceding years much higher figure is on the records.
 The decline in death rate is at tributed by the authorities to the laws of sanitation and healthful living, which are now better under stood by the mass of the people.

CYNTHIA BROCK TYPICAL WOMAN

The character of Cynthia Brock .n "Other Mems Wives, the latest Par amount-Ince photoplay starring Dor othy Dalton, which will be shown at the Coliseum theatre for the fast time tonight, is typical of many Am. erican girls of wealth who are sud denly bereft of their fortunes, accord ing to Miss Dalton in a recent inter- view.
 Cynthia has been reared to oe an ornament" said Miss Dalton, and she knows of no way to support her self when bereft of her means. Sle was compelled to do somehins < against which she naturally revolted. but from which she could not es- cape.
 "She was forced by clever intrigue to try to get an unsusrccti7g married man into a compromising situation. so his wife, in love with another, could get divorce But, while she had never bee trained to earn her own way. she had been taught wha. was right and in the great critical moment her better self triumphed

EASTERN WOMEN WANT
 TO COME TO ALASKA

Young women from the East con- the truth of articles that have ap- peared in Eastern magazines regard ing the scarcity of men in Alaska, and expressing 9 willingness ito be- come wives to the lonesome pioneers of the North--if, of course, the pion- eers are good men. 'ft
 Two young ladies of New York City, who ask that their names be kept confidential, recently wrote as follows:
 "Some time ago we read an article in the Ladies' Home Journal, in which it stated that Alaska was a land without wives; that there were so few white women that the men married squaws.
 "Now we should like to know the truth and are writing to you for in formation. We are two school teach CTS from the East. and as you know, women are in the majority in the East, and in our profession. we meet very few eligible men.
 We would not mind coming to Alaska and living there if we could meet the right kind of men; but before coming, we want to make sure that things are as represented. Be- sides, we thought that through the medium of your paper, we might be able to meet more men than just in a boarding house.
 Have you any suggestions to of fer? We are in earnest and would not care to get in touch with mon who are no good, so we appeal 10 you if you can put -us in touch with the right kind of men"

IF SNAILS TALKATIVE. SCIENCE WOULD KNOW
 POLYNESIANS' ORIGIN

HONOLULU, T. H., Sept 1S.-,f certain varieties of snails in the Hawaiian Islands could talk, teli whence They started their migrations and how they travelled from one is land to another in the Pacific, the world would be close to the solution )f the origin of the Polyneslan race, according to scientists. whQsattended the IPanPacific Scientific Congress which was in session here from Aug, ust ? to 20.
 Upwards of hundred Of the most noted experts of most of the coun- tries bordeiing the Pacific Ocean have discussed the possible origin of the Poiynesians during the con gress sessions, and on one point chey all agreedLthey don't know yet where the Polynesians originated.
 Having failed to pry any informa- tion out of the snail, the scientists turned to the common, or garden var .ety of chicken This useful creature is believed to have been domesti- cated by the Polynesians about 1000 B. c. According to scientific data, the chicken reached Egypt about TOO B. c. It is believed to have origin ated in Southern Asia, but how did t get to Polynesia? Another im- passe.
 Begonia seeds and those of about seven hundred other plants found in the Hawaiian group furnish a little more information than either the snail or the chicken, according 10 the scientists. Ocean currents are said to have brought them here Equatorial currents flowing across Central America from the Atlantic are believed to have forced the Pac- fife currents westward. carrying drift wood and seeds The process of transportation and germination ap- pears to have been fairly lengthy, since if is estimated that perhaps one seed arrived from the American continent and bore fruit within a period of a million years.
 Grasshoppers furnished their quota to the discussion which terminated about where it had begun in the known fact that the Polynesian race came ont of the unknown and, being a rapidly dying race. is fast passing 10 the uncharted shores where if was born

 There are approximately 25,0O0 pure-blooded llawaiians living on the Hawailan islands, according to estimates. Reports for past years show decreases in their numbers.
 In marked contrast with the evil hers of a dying race are the vital statistics dealing with those who represent mixtures of Hawaiian with Caucasion and Asiatic blood.
 Of the sianHawaiians, 249 died during tine last fiscal year. while there were 699 births in that section of the territory's popula- tion. The Asiatic-IIawaiian strain principally Chineso-Hawaiian-- recorded 103 deaths and 491 births.
