upon. Our organization at it's meet. ing last evening, therefore, resolved:
 That you be requested to use every effort to have the international bound from Portland Canal westwardly through the center of Dixon Entrance passing into the Pacific at point mid way between Cape Muzon and the nearest point on Queen Charlotte Isl and, thereby placing approximately one-half of Dixon Entrance on the Alaska side of the boundary.
 This would not deprive Canada of any land which she now claims, but it would restore to the southern shore of Alaska it's three-mile shore rights and permit the laying of a cable from Seattle direct to the nearest Alaskan port.
 With only a small population we are offering business far beyond the capacity of the old cable, and there is no provision in sight for growth.
 Ketchikan is doing more than her share of the business; it is therefore only right that we get increased and direct service in order that the cable facilities may increase in proportion to the other developments which are now in progress.
 We believe that you already realize our need of this service, and trust that you can successfully impress upon the other members of the com mission the justice of our request.
 Sincerely yours,
 KETCHIKAN COMMERCIAL CLUB,
 J. c. BARBER, President.

"Earthbound," taken from the story of the famous author, Basil King which will be shown at the Empress Theater tonight only, is described as markable film ever produced both in theme and artistic workmanship. An entire year of constant work, during which more than thirty-seven miles of film were taken was devoted to the making of this picture in the Goldwyn studios at Culver City, California.

WOULD CHANGE BOUNDARY FOR
 LAYING CABLE

Photographic dispatches of short time ago announced the efforts of the Ketchikan Commercial Club toward having the international boundary be- altered. The communication of the ketchikan Commercial Club in which the change is advocated, was written to Col E. Lester Jones, commissioner, International Boundary Commission, United States and Canada, in care of the Coast and Geodetic Survey, at Washington, D. C., and was as fol- lows:
 " Ketchikan, August 12, 1922.
 The cable from Seattle to Alaska is rapidly wearing out. This condition, the increase in business offered, has caused much congestion this summer and greatly delayed communication with Seattle and the States. There are continuous complaints of SS' .aral instances have been quoted where four days have elapsed between the time of filing a message in Ketchikan and delivery in Seattle, and these cases occurred at times when the cable was supposed to be in good working order.
 These facts emphasize the need of:
 IA new, up-to-date cable to Alas ka which will be capable of transmit ting several messages at one time.
 "A direct cable service from Seat tie to Ketchikan, the first and prin- cipal seaport of Alaska (Ketchikan now receives it's messages on round about branch cable from Sitka, through Chatham Strait, Frederick Sound, Wrangell Narrows and Clar- ence Strait.)
 Several years ago we explained the situation to Colonel Seaone and then requested direct service. We found the chief objection and obstruction was the present international bound ary line touching at Cape Muaon, thereby requiring any cable laid through Dixon Entrance to Ketchikan to be partially in Canadian territory.
 H. c. Strong has recently informed us that the location of the boundary from Portland Canal to the Pacific has not been permanently agreed
