WANTON DESTRUCTION
 OF GAME IS ALLEGED

Residents of the town of Chisana in the White river district have petitioned Gov. Thomas Riggs to refuse any hunting licenses to head hunters" eastern collectors of tro- phies, alleging that wanton destruc- tion of Alaskan game in that dis trict is resulting from the hunting done by such persons, according to statement from the office of Gov. Riggs. Gov. Riggs stated that he was pOwerless to act in the matter which rests solely with the depart ment of agriculture
 The petition states "in view of the gradual decrease of the wild game in this district that is being brought about through the wanton destruction and forced migration of same by an army of tourists or SUD- posed head hunters who invade our district annually, accompanied by professional guides, we are unalter- ably opposed to the issuance of per mits to any person for killing of game in this district under any pre- tense whatever"
 The petition is signed by 26 per sons, residents of Chisana. Many eastern sportsmen visit the White river country each year, some en- tering from the Canadian side and others from the American side It is reported that many animals, sheep, caribou, bear and others are killed annually by them, the meat as a rule being wasted, only the heads and in slime instances hides, being preserved as trophies of the hunt.

SEWARD BANK CONSOLIDATION
 CONSUMMATED

According to advices from Seward the big banking deal there is about consummated.
 Charles E. Brown, president of the Brown & Hawkins Co.,, and also president of the Bank of Seward, has purchased the banking house, furni- ture and fixtures of the Hartman National Bank of Alaska at Seward Those controlling the latter institu- tion have decided to retire from the banking business at Seward. Gaston Hardy, president of the Hartman National Bank of Alaska at Seward is now in that city to arrange and ~attend to the details of the transfer
 Charles k. Brown, whose company and&Brown & Hawkins Co.,, operates stores at Seward and Anchorage, and has been in New York City for the past six months perfecting the plans for the big financial deal. MT. Hardy although president of the Hartman National Bank of Alaska at Seward, has made his headquarters in New York City, with the Hartman National Bank of that city. Harry s. Balderson, cashier of the Bank of Seward has gone to Seattle to meet MT. Brown, who had come to the coast to give details concerning the transaction.
 With transfer of the banking in terests, the Bank of Seward will be the only financial institution in Seward
 The Hartman National Bank of Alaska at Seward, was established about six years ago when Seward was designated as the terminus of the government railroad. The Har- riman national bank erected a two- story reinforced concrete building on the corner of Adams and Fifth streets, became the United States Depositary, and undoubtedly counting on Seward becoming metropolis of southwestern Alaska, went after the banking business to the westward and prepared to make Seward a per manent home. The government prom ise of naval coaling station and erection of bunkers at Seward, also naval marine ways on Resurrec- tion bay, further strengthened the belief of the bank officials that Sew ard was the coming financial cen ter of southwestern Alaska. One year ago last November, the Harri- map Realty Company, subsidiary of the present association in New York City, paid the delinquent taxes on the John E. Ballaines holdings in Seward, amounting to over 5000 representing property valuation of many hundreds of thousands of dol lars.
 The moving of the headquarters of the Alaskan engineering commission from Seward to Anchorage and other disappointments at Seward, probably forecasted that the Resurrection bay town was not going to prove such a big field, especially for two large

In case of FIRE, and when calling the tele- phone operator to give the ALARM, be sure and state location of FIRE to said operator. During an ALARM and FIRE, priority ser vice to the fire department over the central telephone switchboard will be given above everything else.

perfume at SIS a bottle. Yet he did
complain Of the ether.
Poor old Margaret and her camellias
used to be exercised as the arch type
of the scarlet woman. But she was
an angel In comparison with the kind
of a nymph that Miss Hurst draws.
Dumas's erring saint had in the first
place the affliction of tuberculosis
which always was with her. he lost
her lover, her money, her friends and
finally her life. But the world would
never admit that such a soiled dove
had even after these varied trials been
purged of her wickedness. Then what
Is to be said of the leading Magdalen
of Demopolis. o. She stepped into tho
game with her eyes very wide open
and there she stayed until the ar
rival of her soldier lover whom ahe
had thrown aside for the drummer
who gave her some lingerie samples.
She had the satisfaction of weeping
over him while she listened to his low
Ing expressions of gratitude.
So she OF the crepe de chine soul
had nothing worth while happen to
her than the necessity OF retiring from
a world in which the dark brown taste
and the head were the distinguishing
marks OF the women folk. Miss
Hurst makes no effort to defend this
heroine unless 1t be that In the end
she prefers slim young soldiss to
her over nourished satyr as a COM
panion. This is play that paints
harlotry In It's most beguiling colors.

better fate.
Back Pay" might we'll serve to in
crease the army OF gold diggers and
workers In allied industries, so allur-
ing does Miss Hurst make the pro-
fession appear. Propaganda? OF course
not. and then that word has ceased
to be used except in connection with
the name Of a mid-European country
to which II appears welded for all
eternity. 1t is not enough excuse for
n girl that she hate the odor Of cold
potatoes and the sight OF n dead duck
being dragged In its accumulated
mould from under back piazza, and
hear the rustic OF something in her
veins that sounds like silk. Yet these
personal traits are suggested by the
playwright by way OF apology.
Miss Hurst may not always tug at
the heart strings. but she often man
ages to agitate seriously the gastric

The Job Of the big graders is to

years, and need only a light coat
