AT THE QUEEN

Peter Kyne made a good many
demands on Thomas Meighan when
he created the character of Matt
Peasley for the hero OF "Cappy
Kicks" the photoplay which will be
at the Queen Theatre next week. Of
course. the author had no such in
tention for he wrote the story before
Thomas Melghan decided he wanted
to play such a role But work does
not deter the good-luck star. He
surmounts all difficulties and comes
out triumphant.
"Cappy Kicks" has probably done
more to perpetuate the nam3 and
fame OF Peter Kyne than any of his
other famous stories. II is so typi-
cally American in spirit and in
thought that Il was taken up in
stantly by all persons. a whole
someness Of thought and a group Of
splendid characters make up the
story.
"Cappy Kicks" is a tale OF the sea
although part Of its action does
transpire on land. Mr.. Meighan is
seen as Matt Peasley one OF the Of
icers on one OF Cappy Kicks freight
ers. Cappy was former sailor who
had tatken up fnanciering but he
had lost none OF his brusqueness or
temper by the change OF his profes-
sion.
AS a jolly sailor-man, Meighan
viii have plenty to occupy his at
tention for Mats history is an ex-
citing one. Several fist fights. some
real hard rescue work and a de-
rghtful romance are the extent oi
his endeavors.

year old clergyman. who has set
himself up as the marrying par

Such is the position taken by the
committee OF the Presbytery which

Church
After the Rev J. L. Eckard. Of
Smyrna. chairman OF the investigat-

the status OF Mr.. Dockerbie. the
Presbytery passed the following
resolution:
Whereas. 1t has been commonly

ped from the roll Of the Central
Presbytery OF Philadelphia. the

Whereas. It is reported that the
said Daniel f. Lockerbie has de-
clared that at the time his name
was dropped he reported to the
Presbytery that he renounced and
repudiated the jurisdiction Of the
Presbytery and requested that his
meme be dropped. and
Whereas. the said Daniel f..
Lockerbie is reported to have said.
that he was graduated into the
higher school OF Apostolic Chris
tianity and Polity' therefore.
"Resolved, that this Presbytery OF
New Castle. on behalf Of it's own
good name and the good name OF
the Presbyterian Church, does here
by disciaim any responsibility for
the acts and sayings Of the said
Daniel r. Bockerbie. and does also
desire 10 inform the public that the
snid Daniel f. Lockerbie has no
authority from this Presbytery nor
from the Presbyi erian Church.
whose jurisdiction he has renounced
and repudiated, to perform the mar

'Resolyed. that il he had authority

er school Of Apostolic Christianity
and Policy, we have nothing to do
with that.

Miss Clurk'S Essay.

The prize winning essay by Miss Clark follows;
 { During the stampede to the Kl0n- dike in 1898. the lack of good roads , and means of transportation for sup | plies was the most serious obstacle
 with which the gold seekers had to contend The graves of the hIu- dreds who perisheu on the way overcome by the dangers and na"d- ships of the trail, were a mute testl- mouial tu this most urgen. want of the Northland Today the crying need of Alaska is the same Is it was
 20 years ago; better roads aud im- proved means of transportation. On
 this factor. more than any other, de-
 bends the future development of the i resources of tke country.
 Nor is that need a problem for Alaska alone. Governmental reporrs show that farmers, in marketing their crops. lose more than $3OC,- OOO.O0O annually because of bad
 roads. A large part of this loss is sustained by owners of farms situat-
 ed at some distance from railway stations. It IS under these COndi- tions that the motor-driyen vehicle proves itself of ever increasing use , fitness. not as a rival of the rail roads, but as a cO-worker, assuming to itself the function of the sO-call-
 ed short haul In this field, the motor truck oyercOmes two factors. time and distance. which formerly had a limiting effect upon produC- ton. Prior to the advent of the mo- tor truck. larger profits could he re- alizer from a poor farm near q railway station than from a Letter farm situated a greater distance
 away. Now. wherever good high
 ways have been constructed, this IS changed. By the aid of the motor
 truck, a farmer can get his crops on the market in better ConditiOE and with less loss of tine than was for merly possible; and in many cases, can save himself serious loss by sell
 ing before an Over-supply causes
 market prices to fall.
 Tn other fields as well, the motor
 car proves it's value. It is an in
 dispensable agent in the social life
 of rural communities. It makes farm life ore attractive to the younger generation and it binds city and country together for their mutu@I
 benefit. In spite of all this. the mo
 tor truck has not yet come into its own. Its realm ot service is still
 restricted and it awaits the develop
 meut of better inter-urban and coun-
 try highways for the attainment 0:
 its highest degree of usefulness.

if it had been instituted in the regu- lar form it might have to be heard before than decided by some other judge than the present incumbent of the judicial office for the Division and l believe that their undue haste is the result of a belief on their part that the honorable judge of this court is prejudiCed in their favor; that l am informed and believe that at the time writ herein was return able motion was made to transfer the case to the Juneau district where in it belongs, but that said motion was not granted.
 That my duties are prescribed by Chapter 77 laws of 1913, and es- pecially by Section 2 of said Act, that there is no law, so far as know, requiring me to sign warrants drawn on me as Treasurer, but on the other hand the law requires me to pay warrants properly drawn and properly endorsed by the payee when but only when, the claim is a legiti- mate charge against some apprupri- ations made by the legislature; that the Attorney General has informed ne, and ! believe, that the writ is clearly demurrable for at least two reasons. viz: In the first place it requires defendant to perform an act which it is not his function to perfOrm-sign q warrant upon him self as treasurer and which would be of no value to plaintiff; in the second place the writ, or petition, shows that the claim is for expenses for which no appropriation has been made by the legislature and as such is not shown to be legitimate charge against the Territorial Treas ury; that l am informed and be- lieye that q general demurrer was ! interposed to the writ and that such dumurrcr was forthwith oyer-ruled by the said judge, and I believe that the honorable judge of this court f in rendering such decision on the demurrer was unconsCiOusly infu- enced by his relations with said Riggs. and others who may hold it. legal claims against the Territory; and I feel that it ia not fair to the Territory of Alaska to submit this case for final decision to the present judge of this court.
 That make and file this affidavit without any intent of redecting upon the integrity of the judge of this court or without any purpose of showing any contempt for the court, but solely in interest of justice and to discharge my duties to the Terri tory.
