FUR SEAL HERDS SATISFACTORY IN
 ALASKAN WATERS

Washington, Oct. 3-Dr, L. Stej- ueger. fur animal expert of the Unit ed States Natural History Museum, declares that fur seals of the American and Japanese Islands of the North are increasing in satis- factory manner, while the seal herds of the Russian islands and the Si- berian coast fail to show as prosper ous a condition.
 The pr. recently returned from a tour of inspection and investigation of the seal herd conditions, which started from Seattle last summer. The party was headed by Assistant ! Secretary of Commerce Huston. and others were Alfred II. Brooks, United States geologist, in charge of geological work in Alaska, and Capt. Charles F. Liudquist of Los Angeles.
 The United States Coast Guard Cutter Algonquin took the party from Seattle Co Alaska and after an investigation of the seal herds in American islands and Alaskan wa te~s. Dr. Stejueger, Dr. Brooks and Capt. Liudaujst transferred to the United States Cutter MOjave and started last July s for an investigu- tion of seal conditions in the Japan csc islands. Russian islands as well as the Siberian coast. Stops were made at Petropolaski the Robber Islands. Eamschatkau Coast and the islands and coast of the Okhosk Sea and when this was cobpleted the par ty continued Co Japan and made the homeward r'p,on the Admiral liner President Jefferson.
 We found fur seal herds have in- creased in number in the American and a Japanese island, but this pleas ant condition did uot exist in the Russian owned islands or on the coast of Siberia. In those districts there has evidently been a decrease in the size of the fur seal herds, due, possibly 10 the unsettled condition in Russia and its attendant effects, Dr. Sraineger said "There has been rat CT promiscuous hunting done and probably no attention has been given the matter of fur seal protection"
 "Conditious on the Russian Slher- an Coast are possibly not as had as is rather generally bel.evsI.' Dr. S-efDegcr sltd. No in will is vent ed on foreigners who vis.g lhe coUU- try and such disturbances as occur appear to he confined to the cili- zeus alone"

Pullman Service
 to the Pole

Almost to the Arctic Circle, a vesttbuIed Pullman Irain-the farth- est north Pullman in the worlds being operated over the United States Government Railroad from Seward and Anchorage, on the coast. to Fairbanks and Nenana, in the In- tprior.
 Operation of the Pullman brings the old Alaska of the gold stampede days in direct touch with new Alaska in which modern methods of transportation take the place of the old form of "mushIng" over snow trails with dog teams of polling boats on wild rivers.
 Sourdoughs have taken kindly to the Pullmans and even the natives Indian will give up the equivalent of a prime beaver for a chance to climb into a berth. When this hap pens, however, the negro porter is beset with uneasiness for an Indian in close proximity often is an ex- perience the average white man does not desire to repeat.
 Some of the oId-timers who have not seen sleeping cars for twenty years find it hard to answer the formaIities of Pullman travel For instance some grizzled musher steps aboard at way station with his Dutch socks and boots soaking wet. For years it has been his custom at the roadhouses 10 hang his socks on the stove overnight. To satisfy his patrons, the porter has a little wire hung over a heater in the day coach, where he dries out the pedal adorn- ment of the passengers.
 On the trail is a buffet diner, presided over by the veteran J. Casey Mcdonald. who has packed his blankets from the Rio Grande to the Yukon. At eating time the row of stools is always filled and before each place a menu announces the following dishes ana prices;
 Cantaloupe, soc; Apple sauce, 25c; stewed prunes, 25c; grape fruit 55c; eggs, boiled, shirred or fried, 75c; bacon and eggs, SI.OO; corned beef hash with poacned egg, $1.OO breakfast bacon, SI.OO; toast, zoe; colee, 15c and bottle of milk, 25c; roast pork, Sl.OO, and moose, noun tain sheep or caribou. SI.5O.
 At first a newcomer revises Fls appetite and visions or a big meal vanish. When he finds, however, that the train prices are only 25 per cent higher than in the average AL aska restaurant. he realizes that they are reasonable.

FUTURE MOVIES

In ten years the motion picture will rival grand opera as
an artistic production.
This is the prophecy, not by the ghost of Bill Nye talking
over the ouja board, but by Samuel L. Rothafel, celebrated
designer and director of the Capitol Theatre in New York.
If Rothael is right, the movies have a long way to go and
will have to be at a fast clip.
The movies, however, come in for a lot of unjust criticism
Critics forget that the motion picture is a baby among the va
rous Kinds of theatrical entertainments.
1t took thousands of years for the legitimate stage to de-
velop modern scenic effects. Even in shakespeare day,
scenery consisted of a bare stage with signs like "This is a
forest or "This is a street in Rome"
The movies are like everything else. Americans expect a
new device to be perfected the day after it is invented.
Do you remember the movies, back before the days of
John Bunny? Compared with the present, they were mcchan-
ical frights.
Movie photography has become an art.
The badly-ventilated vacant storeroom in which movies
were exhibited ten years ago has developed into an art-palace.
The best of modern movie acting, too, is an art alongside
the crude shadowland acting of a decade ago.
The only real fault in the movies that they tell the wrong
stories-often stupid or asinne. Time will change that.
Rothafel has a golden dream Of future movies. He be-
leves movie theatres will be shaped like an egg, the pictures
made realistic by a fusion of colors, high-grade music, magic
sounds and even odors reproduced to complete the hypnotic
state of the audience.
Rothafel even predicts that movie theatres will be en-
dowed by national, state and city governments, like the en-
dowed theatres of ancient Greece.
In the background, however, is the possibility that ten
years from now movie theatres may be closed, with the finest
movies broadcasted by wireless to the humblest homes.
In that case, you wonder, who would pay the actors? 1t
would be the same process as the future of radio music. The
finest of vocal and instrumental talent will undoubtedly be
employed by the radio industry as a free inducement to fur
ther the sales OF their instruments.
