Indications are that there will be a
heavy peach crop in this part of the
valley. Fruit has set so heavy that
there has had to be great deal OF
thinning out. The same process has
had to be followed with the apple or
chards and it seems a willful waste
but the thinning process makes for a
finer quality and hence better prices
for the crop.

$1O0,cOO IN CASH! AND HE COULDN'T SPEND A CENT

He had exactly one hundred thou sand dollars in cash in his pockets a fortune, Yet, he couldn't spend a cent of it He did not know that he was the victim of the carefully laid plot of a girl to teach him that the world was full of finer things than money.
 The la5t thing he remembered was being in his office and boring over the books of Mary Willard's railroad. When he woke up he was complete ly surrounded by sky, river and pine clad hills At first he thought he was in Central Park
 Then he began his efforts to spend his money. Miles from civilization, for no sum could he get anyone to take him to the nearest railroad or telephonei He burned his breakfast, and had to pay for another by split ting wood. The mosquitoes annoyed him, yet his fat roll of bank notes would not purchase some old mos quito netting! No one in those hills seemed ito care for money.

THE WHITE DOVE" COMING TO PAL LACE

Virginia Lee Corbin. one of the most beautiful and talented children of the motion picture world, has a big part in "Thc White Dove" the Robertson-Cole special in which H. B. Warner will be seen at the Palace Theater for two days, starting next Thursday. She plays the little daugh- ter of an English physician (H. B. Warner) which laItter character is the central figure of the pho.oplay
 As Dorothy Lanyon, little Miss Cor bin has wide opportunity for emotion al acting. In her character she has lost her mother some time before the opening of the action. and, in addi- tion to this sorrow, is keenly hurt by her father who turns aside from her because of the fear that she is not his own child. The little girl acts this part with a restraint and under derstarding far beyond her years.
 Little Miss Corbin is eight years old and was born in Prescott, Ariz. As a very small child she was an artists model. She appeared with Fannie Ward and Geraldine Farrar for period, and iIater had leading parts in number of fairy tale pie lures which were produced.

ETHEL CLAYTON TONIGHT AT THE COLISEUM

Ethel Claytopls latest photoplay, Crooked Streets will be the attrac- tlon at the Coliseum Theater tonight. It is an adventure-romance of China and was adapted from an original story iby Samuel Mcrwn.
 Miss Clayton has the role of Gail Ellis, who, answering an advertise ment, becomes secretary to an anti quarian on a trip Ito China in search of rare vases. In Shanghai, Gail be- comes suspicious that her employer E errand is not an honest one. Ven turing alone into the native section of the city, she is involved in a brawl between some Chinamen and roiStering French sailors on leave. An Irish adventurer named ODare Eescues her with difficulty, but the adventure is not half so startling as the one which follows. Suffice it to say that the picture ends happily for Gail and her reScuer.
 An excellent cast, including Jack Holt and Clyde Fillmore, supports Miss Clayton in Crooked Streets. y

AMERICANS W N Q
 WERE AT LANDRU. TRIAL SURPRISED.
French Law of Evidence and Manner of Conducting
 Trial Very Peculiar.

NERS ALLIES, Jan 3.-AmericanS who attended the Landru trial. and they were many. could not refrain from commenting upon the radical difference between the French law of evidence and manner of conducting
 rial for murder in the American courts.
 Returning to Paris after a particu- larly stormy sitting of the court, an American resident of the French capital noticed stout man alighting t Meudon in deep conversation with | woman
 "Why, tiere goes one of the jur- ,rs!" he exclaimed.
 Jurors in France are not escorted ny uniformed policemen and every night they return to their homes in complete freedom, having taken the cath not to discuss the case with my one" They are chosen with nore rapidity than either America or England.
 The prosecution and the defense have 12 peremptory challenges each and no more Thus 36 names chosen from the electoral list of the de- partment are thrown into the hat and 12 are picked out. Should the prose cution and the defense both choose
 D exercise their prerogative of chal lenging F jurors, there always re- mains enough names in the hat to swear in jury. The Landru jury was chosen in 15 minutes. Neither he prosecution nor the defense chal- lenged a single juror.
 "YOu swear tO testify without hatred or fear, to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth; raise your right hand and say: swear it" says the judge to the witness as the latter advances to the bar. There is no Bible in evidence.
 Tell your own story" continues he judge. and the witness goes on 70 relate how he or she met Landru in the company of Madame Cuchet, Guilin or Heon during the year 1916.
 Didn't you swear that Madame So and So told you that she was to be married to Landru. when you ap- pcared before the investigating mag istrate?" asks the judge.
 ''Ts he the prosecuting attorney?" inquired a South Boston man as Judge Gilbert was berating Landru for seven previous convictions for swindhng. forgery and other crimes
 No stenographer was present in the court and no notes were taken in shorthand of the various testimonies heard so that the question of in of a testimony was left to the good or bad memory of the and defense.

Bubbles, the good luck picture which is to be shown with Mary An derson in the leading role at the Coli scum Theater tonight and Wednes day. is the only picture on record as having been brought to a close without being punctuated plentnully with misunderstanding ranging in mortality from that of Veriun to Bunker Hill between the players.
 This picture. which seems to pos sess some magic seditive to the blues and kindred temperamental ailments, acted like peaceraker by keeping all the ladies and gentlemen, includ- ing the studio dog, alter whom, by the way, the photoplay was named in the best of humor.

4. E. C. OPERATION .0F COAL MINES GIVE N IN FULL
Where Is the Matanuska Coal?' Asks Paper-Com-
 mission Makes Answer.

(Note.-There has been much dis cussion recently both in and out of the Territory on the subject of AL askan coal fields, and relative to the coal mining operations of the United States government in the Matanuska coal fields. Simmered down the rurport of these discus sions was contained in an editorial appearing in an Alaska paper asking the questions, Where is the Coal?' and Why is there not more coal available for commercial use in Al aska towns?'
 The Alaskan Engineering Commis- sion has submitted comprehensive account of its coal mining operations in the Mal.anuska, which answers these questions. This is the first of a series of articles containing his tory of the operations in question: Edftor)
 Coal mining in the Matanuska Val ley commenced in 1916, since which date all coal required for Alaska gov ernment railroad purposes has been secured from this field. Coal mining operations, as described later. were carried on by the Alaskan Engineer ing Commission under the general au' thorfty of the Railroad Act, out of monies appropriated for railroad op- eration, maintenance and construc ton, in lieu of buying coal from Se' attle or British Columbia. or other sources. No funds have been spe' officially appropriated by Congress au thorizing the Alaskan Engineering Commission to mine coal in large quantities. The special appropriation made by Congress for navy use will be referred to later.
 Sale Is Authorized In 1916 and 1917 small amount of coal was sold for commercial use in the towns along fhe line of tht railroad having track connection witf the Matanuska field. This was prob ably done without authority. In 1918 the sale of coal for commercial ust from the railroad mine then operat ing was authorized during the periot of the war by Presidential Proclaim ton No. 1479. issued August 27, 1918 reading in part as follows: Whereas. it appears that the
