In remodeling the famous old
theater on Columbus Circle, Mr.
Urban has eclipsed all his pre-
vious efforts in stage and theater
decoration, and the result OF ms
work is said to be a revelation III
beauty, luxury, and comfort.
The theater, characterized as the
most modern playhouse in America
Is of Colonial architecture, soIteneo
slightly by a more modern touch,
and will serve as a fitting frame
Tor the picturesque beauty anu

phere that permeates Little Olo
New York"
In bringing Little Old New York
to the Cosmopolitan Theater, the
Cosmopolitan Corporation, which Is
sponsoring the production, is not
only framing the film in a setting
or artistic beauty, but is embellish-

OUR COAL SUPPLY.

Seward is fortunate in securing plenty of good coal at a low price. Some of the best coal yet brought to town is now selling at $10 per ton delivered, and the price will undoubt> ,dly drop lower yet when the con- mission completes it's plans for trans portation.
 Before making the trip over the road we had heard many rumors to the effect that it would be imposS'" to haul trains of coal over the Sew asd-Anchorage section, but after mak- ing the trip we were agreeably sur prised to find a two per cent grade and no serious obstacles to hauling any freight that the bridges will hold up. At the present time trains of from ten to fourteen cars are pull cd over this section of the road, and considering the light engines used, 1t is as great a load as is pulled over any road in the east by like power. A Shay locomotive would pull twice the load the present engines do, and pull it easily.
 Several years ago much talk was going the rounds that the road would be compelled to come out at Portage Bay in the Port Wells district. Time has shown the fallacy of such rumors and demonstrated that the commission knew it's business. The fact that coal and freight trains are going back and forth over the road daily is proof that loads can be hauled and are being hauled daily.
 While it may be impossible at the present time for local mines to com pete with mines in the States by ship ping coal Outside, there is no need for any vesel to go south with an empty hold when coal can be placed in Sew ard for we or six dollars per ton by the carload. Coast towns can use Alaska coal. and should use Alaska coal.

WHERE ARE WE DRIFTING?

In the fiscal year 1913-14 taxes were 6.4 per cent of all we earned. ~
 In the fiscal year 1920-21 taxes were 13 per cent of all we earned. '
 In the year 1921 taxes were one sixth of our entire income.
 In 1922 taxes were nearly one-fourth Of our total income.
 This applies to every man, woman or child in the nation. who pay taxes indirectly as well as directly.
 Congress has run wild in the mat ter of appropriations and commissions. The people are now serving the gov ernment instead of the government being for the people. Government and state are mixed in an inextricable confusion. State rights are being ig- nored and monies used by the Federal government that should rightfully be taken from state funds. Millions of dollars are used for European fanta- sies, legislation has become destruc- tive instead of constructive, and con- gress spends dollars to save cents.
 By increasing taxes on business to the breaking point the working man is taxed accordingly Every class is overburdened with taxes direct and indirect.
 The more non-producers the higher the prices. The higher the prices the less producers.
 Think it over and you will wonder whither we are drifting.

must participate, as well as the small CT powers immediately concerned.
 In the scrambling of the powers for Near Eastern pie, oil and raw mate rial play the second part. The fore most role is the struggle for advan- tages in war. Until that .hope is en- tirely abandoned, the straits and their neighborhood will threaten to be the firebrand they have been in the past. As long as the great powers seek to use this critical region each for ad- vantage over others. no solution will work. + this evil effort is abandoned by Britain and France it will have to be abandoned by others, and almost any fair plan will have chance. Without peace in this region there will be peace nowhere.

ASIA MINOR.

(Erom HearSt'S International
 The troubles in the Near East have origins similar to those that followed the triumph over Germany. ''Peace without victory" was lost in the shuf- He at Versailles. The French idea, la >yictoire integrale, complete victory, prevailed. All idea of treating the de Ieated as friends was abandoned.
 So in Asia Minor the conception of a settlement for the peace of the world was pushed aside by various countries grabbing for power. In this grab, Great Britain, France and Italy led. Greece, as catspaw, played con- spicuous but minor role.
 The treaty of Versailles is a failure because it is melon-cutting by the victors. Likewise, no settlement in the Near East can ever work unless it is of advantage to all, of special ad- vantage to none.
 In 1914 the allies promised Russia control of the straits. In 1922 Great Britain endeavored to execute naval control of them. Either solution is poisonous. The only wholesome SO lution must exclude any one nations military or naval control, and all the great European powers. with Russia

TO BUILD an ice house in Alaska appears like carrying coals to New castle and yet Alaska probably has more ice plants for the number of pop ulation than any state in the union.
