GOVERNMENT STEAMSHIP SERVICE TO ALASKA IS RECOMMENDED BY
 SECRETARY OF INTERIOR PAYNE

WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.-Estab- lishment of a Government line oi steamships to Alaska, operating "even at a loss, if necessary, tc provide adequate service and req sonable rates" is advocated by Sec retary of Interior John Barton Payne in his annual report to the President for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1920, made public here today.
 The Secretary declares against any larger measure of self-govera a- ment for Alaska, this being taken to indicate that he is not in sym pathy with former Secretary of h. terior Franklin K. Lanes sugges- tions for an Alaskan Development Board but appears to regard coordi- nation of government activities in Alaska through an interdepart- mental board as offering the best cure for the situation in the Ter ritory.
 Three of the ten pages Of the TO- port devoted to Alaska are taken up with recounting observations made on his trip to Alaska last summer He dwells particularly on the need of opening up the country through railroads and other transportation facilities, including better steamer service, and offers as a solution ot the latter. consolidation of the two present steamship companies serv. ing the Territory. or if that fails government service by the Shipping Board.
 The government railroad + Alaska to be a total of $40 miles il length will be completed and il operation in 1922, MT. Payne re ported. He added that it tapped fields of untold mineral wealth anf praised the work of the engineer in the progress made.

he question of domestic reconstruc- ton as related to farming. The sec retary cited census figures showing that the rate. of increase of popu- ation on farms was only one fifth IS great as that of the nation as a whole He believed this foreshad- owed a dangerous condition in the future.
 Secretary Payne advocated pas sage of the Shoot rural homes bill" which he said would give the Interior Deparement an opportun- ity to do much important work in farming development and to take steps to aid the restoration of farm ing population through increased lard ownership by those who work the land.
 Along with the farm life ques- ton, the secretary took up the ac- tivities of the reclamation service of his department, The interest IF opportunities on the land, he said, has greatly increased with the de- mobilization of the fighting forces. The department, although handi- capped by lack of funds, has been assembling "a large amount of val uable information" which will be of use to the country in the future. The government had spent to June 30 a total of s125, 100000 on reclamation projects. the secretary reported, and approximately 2.150.- l 900 acres of land have been made ariable through the reclamation ef- 1 forts of the government
 The Secretary declared that the government should come forward with a comprehensive scheme of reclamation development to nee; the earnest desire of thousands oi landless men and women who have become a part of the movement forward to the farm.

Alaska Real Paradise For, Bootleggers,
 Says Federal Dry Chief

TACOMA, Dec. 7.-Donald A. Mcdonald, Federal ProhiDi- tion Director in the Pacific Northwest, who recently return ed from a personal investigation of conditions in Alaska, today said that he will ask the Gov ernment for permission to es- tablish a strong prohibition force in the Territory.
 There is not one Federal Prohibition Enforcement Agent in Alaska" he said. "The Ter ritory is real paradise for bootleggers and there is little evidence that the Eighteenth Amendment has ever gone into effect. More than fifty boot leggers are plying their trade in Ketchikan alone and the underworld there is operating virtually without restriction. The dry element is up in arms. I have received many letters protesting over the influx of liquor from Canada, but under present conditions 1 am power less.

Lionel Barrymore in "The Master
Mind, will be the attraction at the
Topic theatre today. This is the first
of a new series of Barrymore photo
plays to be presented by the Associ-
ated First National and it is claimed
to be one of the sensational screen
masterpieces of the season. Mr.
Barrymore is himself authority for the
statement that he has never had a
role which provided wider latitude
for his talents. He is capably sup
ported by such well-known artists as
Gypsy O'Brien, Ralph Kellard, Brad
ley Barker, Charles Brandt, Marie
Shotwell, Bernard Randall and Chas::
Edwards. The picture was directed
by Kenneth Webb under the personal
supervision of the producer, Whitman
Bennett. The story concerns the
workings of the remarkable mind of
a brillian psychologist bent on reaplng
revenge on district attorney who
had sent his brother to the electro;
chair. A beautiful girl, innocent and
unsuspccting, is used as the pawn and
a gang of dangerous criminals, COM
Detely under the control of the master
mind, weave the nets of vengeance
around the victim with thrilling skill.
Just at a time when the master mind
has finally achieved his purpose,
something unsual happens to stay his
hand, and it is said the ending IS one
of the most unsual yet projected on
the silversheet.
