TOM MOORE is STARRED
IN ZONE OF THE FINEST"

Tom Moore is a mounted police
man in his newest Goldwyn picture,
Zone of the Finest" which comes to
the Palace Theatre Sunday and his
natty uniform seems to be the mag
pet toward which love. romance,
thrills and adventure gravitate. He
is Larry Hayes, son of a former
commissioner viii lives with his
widowed mother and little girl,
Mary Jane Andrews to whom he
has given a home when her father
is sent to prison. His kindness and
devotion to the child almost bring
about his undoing, however, when
the rejected suitor of the girl he
loves seeks to make her believe
that the child is Larry Hayes own.
The truth comes out in a surpris-
ingly dramatic climax. but not before
the policeman sees all his hopes
crumble and the girl he loves be-
lieves the worst.

 BY CANADIAN
Visitor Here From Nakina Points Out Benefits That

G. w. Hughes, telegraph operator of the Dominion line at Nakina, 60 miles south from Atlin, used snow shoes in getting from Carcross to Skagway. owing to the slide block ing the railroad. He is stopping in Juneau for few days Hughes says that the people of Atlin are anxious to see the proposed road down the Taku river built which would make Juneau their base for supplies and assist them in opening up great country.
 He is making trip to the out side for the first time in six years.
 In coming 10 the coast he used snowshoes distance of 60 miles He used the railroad right of way from Carcross wherever possible, but was forced to make his own trail most of the way. He used the shortcut through Deadhorse Guich. At times the wind whirled the snow about .hln .i in. clouds .and be gould see only a few feet ahead
 Speaking of the Atlin country. he safd there was not much winter mining, but plans were under way for the usual operations this summer He said that Atlin was up against the proposition that was true of q good many interior camps. and that is the great cost of supplies, which enable the miners to work only high grade propositions order to come out ahead With the proposed auto mobile road built along the Taku river from Atlin to the coast, the trip from Juneau to Atlin could be accomplished in one day and the cost of supplies greatly cheapened He said that if the people of this place only realized what great inland empire would be opened tc trade by reason of communication being established, they would not hesitate to raise the money them selves and build the road.
