MISSING TRAVELLING
 MAN IN SANITARIUM

Advice has been received here that J. H. Nichoalds, a former travelling man making the territory of Alaska, principally as representative of Ar mour x Co., is now in a private sani- tarium in Los Angeles. MT. Nichoalds was in Alaska last summer and at that time complained of having trouble with his head and at times doing many queer things. He went south to Seattle and was given a short vacation. For several months he absolutely disappeared, although a we'll known detective agency was making a search for him.
 About a week ago, Nichoalds was located in Los Angeles and imme- diately placed in a private sanitarium. It is understood he will soon be taken east to the Sanitarium con- ducted by Armour & Co.,, and kept there until he recovers.

THE ETERNAL OUTLAW

A poor American newspaper man, or no newspaper man at all, was on the job at. St. Jean de Luz in France on March 22. Otherwise we should not have waited for the arrival of the Brit ish papers to learn that on that day and in that place died E. w. Hornung, who gave Rallies" to a delightful world.
 Who are the international figures of fiction in the last twenty-five years? The outlaws and their pursuers More American readers are acquainted with Rallies than with any other character in contemporary British literature ex- cept Sherlock Holmes. Conan Doyle's immortal detective is the one universal contribution of Auglo-Saxon literature since Dickens. Holmes was passion ately read by the Russians in the midst of the war and Bolshevist revolution No doubt he is read by the Chinese to- day. For every American who knows LhudtOlS T dIlIS , M. DCi SCIcl Ol even Emile Zolas Mini there must be a I hundred who know Arsene Lupin. l The most famous international novel
 of all ages is beyond question that i splendid crook story Hes Miserables" Americas best-knoWn picture in the
 international gallery, after Leather
 stocking, is beyond question Poe's M. Dupin.
 It has been like thct from the first | days of the novel It began with the picturesque tale. More people the
 world over have read Gil. Bias than Don Quixote, who himself was badly on the outs with organized society. More children have read of Robin
 Hood and Till EUlenspiegel than of Sanford and Merton. It would be a i trifle for Herr Frued to show how pri- mitive instinct thwarted By the grow iHg police power of civilization, takes it out in it's Rallies and Lupins and
 Moriartys.-NewY York Post.

A DAKOTA ARMAGEDDON

When the Non-Partisan league took it's rise in the northwest, a few years ago, one of it's strongest arguments and one of it's winning platform blanks was the recall. Here was to be the sword hung by a hair over the heads of the state officials. Here was the rope about their necks to make certain that they would not wander from the path of popular ap- proval. Officials would no longer be able to defy the voters who had put them in office. So ran the arguments of the Non-Parisan league.
 Four years ago the Non-Partisan re- zine of North Dakota made the re- call a law. That was bad day for Townleyism. There have been weep ing and wailing and gnashing of teeth in Non-Partisan circles now for many months. The opposition to Townley-
The Cordova daily times., 1921-05-03

ism had found this a weapon and threat. The duly elected Non-P Partisan state officials found the sword hang ing over their own heads.
 Now the blow impends. Meeting in conclave at Devils Lake, the North Dakota opponents of the league have formed an alliance, studied their cam paign maps and are ready. Three of Townley's officials, Governor Frazier, Attorney General Lemke and Con- missioner of Agriculture Hagan, are picked for the recall The North Dakotas are to have a chance for a straight-out, yes-or-no vote on the league and Townleyism.
 Naturally, the -Partisans are not so enthusiastic over the recall as they were. They had a close call at the last elections, and have virtually lost control of the legislature But they cannot denounce the recall; it is their own child, one of their early favorites And here it is rising up to destroy it's once fond parent!
 Every resource will be strained on both sides League control over the farmer vote is slipping and the heads of labor are no longer as en- thusiastic as they might be. Outside of labor circles the towns and cities are solidly anti-League. This looks like the beginning of Armageddon for the Non-Partisan league.-Ketchikan Chronicle.

BILL HART PICTURE
 AT EMPRESS TONIGHT

Bill Hart "came back" last night at the Empress, and came back strong. A crowded house testified to the fact that the reputation of MT. Hart's new pro. duction,-the first from his own stud. jos had gone before it,-that the ef. forts of this popular star to set high. CT mark in the cinema art are appric- lated by Movie Fans.
 The cast is especially strong and well selected. The picture is a beauti- ful one, filled with very unusual scenes and wonderful photography In which a colored light effect is introduced in a way that is feature in itself.
 The story is strong in every detail, exceptionally well balanced and carries plot filled with adventure and inter, woven with a we'll defined and highly expressing romance.
 The ending-the passing of Black Deering through "The Toll Gate" to a new tmosphere-bears a moral that is lasting in it's effect. Without doubt The Toll Gate is the biggest, most beautiful and most absorbing play in which MT. Hart has ever appeared. It is repeated for the last time tonight at the Empress.
 Tomorrow night comes an old time favorite who has long been absent from the Cordova screen,-Pauline Frederick Past mistress of the dram atic art, she appeares in what is said to be the strongest of her recent pro- auctions, The Bonds Of Love, picture filled with thrilly, heart-throbs, and humor a-plenty.

NEW STRIKE CAUSE
 OF SMALL STAMPEDE

A good strike of ore along the Kugruk river, on the route of the proposed main trunk line of the gov ernment road 200 miles northeast of Nome, and a short distance west of Candle, has started a stampede, according to advices just received here. The district is a silver-lead formation.
 Although not stating the nature of the strike, the information says the strike is a most important one and that extensive development work is proposed for next season. It is be- lieved rich ledge of silver-lead has been uncovered. There are also good indications of placer gold in the vicinity, according to Nome people. A good grade of Ignite coal is mined also at Coal Mine, near the scene of the strike.

ALASkA'S POPULATION

The census bureau discloses the fact that Alaska's population has fallen to lower level than in 1900, having in all about 10000 fewer peo- pie than in 1910.
 But there is no reason for discour- agement in this situation. Alaska is capable of supporting a great popu- lation. Some day millions of indus tries happy people will be develop ing it's wonderful resources. Other nations and territories suffered drops iu population during the war Peo- pie will go to this northern wonder land for many reasons through the days and years to come. The govern ment railroad now is more than 265 miles long There is promise of a revival of placer gold mining. The gigantic fisheries industry never ma terially can deteriorate. New indus tries constantly will be built and de veloped. It is believed the territory largely will increase it's exports of wood pulp and other forestry pro- ducts. There are coal, copper, silver and other minerals there in abund- ance The fur industry is far famed. Experts of the biological survey largely will increase it's exports of reindeer meat, soon will amount to $40,O0O,0O0 annually.
 But the big promise Of Alaska lies in it's agricultural opportunities and resources. Certain writers, movie men, half-baked geographer3, mis- sionaries and others have been re- sponsible for innumerable libelS and fallacies with reference to Alaska and to the far north. But we have the word of one of the greatest eX- pIorers of the age that the northland far up toward the pole is not land always covered by ice and snow. Vilhjalmur StefanssOn, who has his knowledge at first hand, mOcks at thes "fallacies." He tells Us that it becomes colder in Montana and the Dakotas than ever it becomes in the Arctic lands; that it never has been as warm in Tampa, Fla, as it has been in the Arctic circle. He de- scribes the most northern isand in the Arctic ocean as producing z56 species of wild flowers and as having a better climate than the city of Winnipeg. He affirms that one day the Arctic will be as settled as this Canadian city. There is less ami nal life at the equator than in the Arctic, and Alaska is down south" from the lands which are awaiting their future populations. He de- clares that these lands one day will be more densely populated than Canada now is. So let not Alaska and it's friends be concerned. There are wheat lands and corn lands and vege- table and fruit lands there await ing a hardy race who will find in Alaskan and Arctic winter less dis comfort than often is to be found in our own west and northwest, soon forgotten in swift and glorious grow ing and harvest seasons.-Cincinnati Enquirer.
