AGENT SAYS THEY
GET NEW FILMS
Douglas Fairbanks Agent Declares
Cities Larger Than New Orleans
Have Not Seen Pictures Named.
"It's simply a falsehood."

Its simply falsehood."
That's the answer of Carlyle R.
Robinson, director of publicity for
Douglas Fairbanks, to the statements
recently printed in New Orleans that
1. The New Orleans movie public
is Disseminated against in favor of
other cities.
g Releases of the latest pictures
of the nations movie stars only reach
New Orleans after they are old and
have been seen by the majority of
the other cities of America.
Mr.. Robinson is stopping in New Or
leans on his way to the Pacific Coast
from the East.
1.-The absurdity of making such
statements is apparent. when you see
how easily their falsehood is proven,
he smiled, Wednesday morning. 'Take
for example, the statements that New
Orleans only sees the Douglas Fair
banks and the Charlie Chaplin releases
long after the rest of the country has
seen them.
Everything that Charlie Chaplin
has produced has been shown in New
Orleans. His latest production "a
Days Pleasure is the last thing he
has put out. 1t has been shown in
New Orleans. This city has seen every
film Chaplin ever made-and seen
them through the Saengers.
"Take May Pickford, New Orleans
has seen every film she ever made ex-
cept the last -"Pollyanna."
Take Douglas Fairbanks. New Or
leans has seen every film he has ever
made except the very last, "When the
Clouds Roll By"
"And New Orleans is not the only
large American city that has not seer
these very latest productions.
philadelphia is larger than New
Orleans. Yet Philadelphia won't see
that last Douglas Fairbanks picture
until May 18.
Minneapolis is some city-and il
won't get that Fairbanks release unit

NEWSY LETTER
 FROM SEATTLE
 ABOUT ALASKA

SEATTLE, Move. 22 Special to the Times) Members of the executive committee of the Alaska bureau of the Seattle chamber of commerce met at luncheon to discuss the preparation of resolution endorsing gold bonus bill. The chamber has been request ed by the Northwestern Alaska chamber of commerce at Nome to work to some such measure and the northern body has endorsed the Mo Fadden bill, now pending before con. gress. This provides for a $1O an ounce bonus to producers of virgin gold. The second division of the ter ritory of Alaska is dependent to large extent on it's gold mining in- dustry and this year Alaska's pro- duction of gold is even less than that of year ago. The appeal of the Nome commercial body states that the passage of a gold bonus measure, such as the McFaddden bill, will en. able miners to work gold producing land at profit. The committee had before it figures signed by the Nome body, showing the increasing costs of gold mining in Alaska and some of the advances quoted were:
 First-class passage to Seattle, once $50, now $12420, and steerage pas sage, once $25, now $50; coal, once $15 delivered, now $40 in yard; flour, once $2.50, now $9.75 hundred; sug- ar, once $6 per one hundred pounds, now $50; potatoes, once $2 hundred, now $14; distillate, once 12 cents a gallon, now 55 cents, with none ob- tainable; oil, once $1S0, now $6; oil containers, once $S, now $2O lumber. once $2S; now $100 per 1000 feet: labor, once $4 day, now $9 and up- ward; freight from outside, once $6 a ton, now $3O. Nome mining peo- pie claim the purchasing power of an ounce of virgin gold has shrunk from about $17 to $7, and production of the precious metal at $7 means a loss to the miner.

After mushing nearly 5000 miles over the northermost tip of the con- t1nent and completing the only ex- haustive and accurate census of the barren lands inside the Arctic circle, J. H. Mcguire, of the census bureau, is in Seattle reporting to w. T. Lopp, chief of the Alaska district. He says the human population of the far north is 22 per cent under that of the canine population. In this most stren- uous census accomplishment on re- cord, Supt. Mcguire, with team of sixteen dogs, and a nimble Eskimo guide, left Nome in October, 1919. Seven months later, after mushing 2,S45 miles to Point Barrow and re- turn to his headquarters at Kotzedue, his task was completed. In his dis trict, in which he presides over the destinies of eleven Eskimo schools in an area of 400 miles square, Mcguire could only finde 256 white men, 2,69O full-blooded Eskimos and 195 of mixed blood, total population of 3,146 in this northermost American frontier. There were more dogs than people, @ total of 4,031 canine-and 38,209 reindeer
