Industry In Infancy

The pulp industry in Alaska is in it's infancy. no shipments ever hay ing been transported southbound by either of the carriers concerned prior to the time of this controversy. II is stated that much difficulty had been experienced in determining a basis upon which to construct rates on pulp wood traffic. In explanation of the rates of $9. $10 and $5 quoted to the Alaska Pulp & Paper Com pany, evidence was introduced indi' eating that the rate of $9 per ton was the rate on general merchandise. N. O.

GET READY FOR
 PASSION PLAY 
0berammergau Takes on New Life and Starts to Re-
 pair Open Air Theatre
By Associatcd Press

Oberammergau, July 30.--Since the decision was made to give the de- layed Passion Play" in 1922, ober- ammergau has taken on new life. Carpenters, painters and masons, many of them wearing long hair and boards, which mark them as partici- pants in previous dramatizations of the passion of Jesus Christ, are re- storing the open-air theatre and villas which had no attention dur ing the war period.
 Busy housewives are preparing their homes for the reception of vis- irors who will fill the little village next summer. Scene painters are re- building and restoring the represen- tations of parts of the Holy Land where Jesus lived and died and rose again from the tomb.
 Needlewomen are fashioning robes for the apostles and scores of other biblical figures who participate in the play Although the cast will not be elected by the directors of the play until October, young women who have distinguished themselves in other religious plays given by the Oberammergau folks are fashionlng simple robes suitable for the role of Mary in the hope that they will be chosen to enact the part of Jesus mother, the highest honor which can come to an Oberammergau woman.
 The great auditorium which shell ters spectators of the Passion Play" Is wooden structure supported by steel trusses. It has seats for 4,00O persons. arranged much after the plan of modern opera house. When the play is offered one end of the auditorium Is removed entirely, and the stage stands at some distance from the end of the building, in such position that the mountains furnish background for the setting. The audience is entirely sheltered in case of rain, and the main part of the stage has glass roof.
 Even among the children of Ober- ammergau the reverence for the Passion Play' Is very marked and in imitation of their elders they are constantly acting in the hope of be- ing chosen for important roles in the production given every 10 years.
 As good character is insisted upon as the basic requirement. for partici- patton In the play, the danger of be- ing debarred from a part in the his toric spectacle is held constantly over the village children and is far bet ter corrective influence than the bogeys invented for most children.

 If he stays out. though, we are going to find gasoline right on the shelf with altar of roses and ex- tract of violets.
 When you go out in the evening you will be spraying your handker- chief wits gasoline and when your lady friends get a whiff of it they are going to turn green with envy.
 Then, too, you will be packing your very incest clothes in the empty gasoline tank of the automobile so they will absorb that little odor there is left in it.
 Tt won't be long, either, until the chefs will be making nesselrode pud- ding with gasoline sauce, for the stuff is going to be costly and peo- pie will eat, drink or perfume with anything that is costly, regardless or what it tastes or smells like. Look at Limburger cheese and caviar.
 "But they certainly will not be able to use it for motive power much longer, for it costs 25 cents mile to run O car now, and in another month 1t will take dollars worth or gasoline to prime a little zine Ellza and $9 worth to make the self7starter on big car buzz once
 'But Andrew, what I was trying to tell you is that gasoline has been reduced in price.
