STEWART OPERA
 HOUSE OPENS

The Stewart O1eA . House opened it's doors to tae public the evening of February 9th. with as fine a motion picture display as could be found in the North. Under the manage ment of Mir. w. Sim, the play house has been enlarged and decorated and is modern and up-to-date in every respect.
 The equipment is arranged in such manner that the spacious hall can be readily converted into a ball room or can be used for basket ball or other indoor games. Later on MT. Sims will extend the depth of the hall and add spacious stage and the equipment necessary to the proper display of theatrical performances. MT. Sims has been most fortunate in secur- ing film contracts with the Par amount and First National features, (which include the, highest class of motion picture films on the market and feat uring the most celebrated stars of the day. For the present shows will be given once a week, Saturday, but it is the intention to make two displays a week later on. The program for the coming Saturday show is the much praised film. ver- sion of the famous stage play, Molly O and features that versatile and clever actress Mabel Normand. Watch for future program announces ments in the Weekly Miner.
 Ray Snyder has compiled a very servicable plat of the min eral locations in the Texas Creek section, covering the area between Nine Mile and Chickamin glacier, that should be of considerable value to those who wish to determine with some exactness the loc- ,ation of mining properties.
 The plat covers practically every mining location in the area mentioned; gives the names of the various claims and groups and of their own CTS, and shows the general con- tour of the country, elevation, etc. The plat should be val uable addition to the maps of the Salmon River region TOW extant, especially as it covers an entirely new region. MT. Snyder contemplates placing the plat on the market and has forwarded the original to Jun eau to be reproduced in blue print form. He expects that copies will be available some time in March.

PACKERS SUED UNDER
 NEW FISH TAX LAW

The Territory of Alaska, thru the Attorney Generals office, has entered suit in the district court at Juneau for the collect ion of the graduated tax on.the salmon pack of the Pacific American Fisheries Company, of Bellingham, which pack was put up by the defendant com pany at its Alaska canneries.

 The amount involved, includ- ing both tax and the legal penalties, is $9, 437. 89. The company is said to have refus- ed to pay the tax on the ground that the law is unconstitutional.

The masquerade dance giv- en by the Pioneers of Alaska at Pioneer Hall last week drew a fine crowd and was a de- cidedly enjoyable entertain ment throughout. The display
 of costumes WY aried and interesting, including |. num- Der of very handsome cre- ations. The prize for the best dressed lady, a handsome ced- ar chest, was awarded to Mrs. Henry Peterson, who appeared in a handsome butterfly cos tune. E. R. Stivers, clad in the
 natty garb of colonial days, won the prize, a smoking set, for best dressed gentleman.
 Miss Marian Hunt, wearing a Martha Washington" cos tune, was a deserving winner of the prize for best sustained ] lady character. a fern dish
 In the same division, Ray Shy Ger, wearing a clown costume, carried off a fine tie, shirt and cuff buttons, the prize for best sustained gentleman char acter. Although a special prize
 was offered for the best tramp character, not tramp was in evidence and the prize was giv- en to MT. w. A. Noble, Canad- ian Customs officer at the boundary line below the Pre- mier. MT. Noble had happened
 I to come down from 13 Mile, clad in a trough and ready" mushing rig. Hearing of the dance he decided to drop in and while away an hour or two. Although his costume was scarcely of the familiar Wear iy Willie" type he was picked
 by the judges as the only ap- proach to the tramp type and
 was awarded the prize, a box lof cigars-much to his surprise. l An excellent repast was serv- ed by the Pioneers during the
 evening and the we'll known
 Pioneer hospitality was in ev-
 idence throughout the evening
 and contributed greatly to the
 enjoyment of those attending.

 The Prince Rupert News re- ports the death of Charles Dease an II year old Indian boy, who was brought to Rup- ert from the Stikine river coun- try by Father Allard, O. M. l., who found the lad seriously ill from exposure and lack of attention and brought him to the Rupert hospital. As the lad was in a practically hope less state as a result of terrible suffering his death was not un- expected.
 Although the Portland Canal district has been visited by an almost unprecedented snow- fall during the present win ter, there has been practically no snow in the interior of Brit l ish Columbia, according to Fr: Allard, who says that in the section between Rupert and Mcbride the lack of snow is seriously handcapping the ex- tensive tie and pole cutting op- erations carried on in that lo- cality during the winter season. The district exports millions of feet of cedar poles, railroad ties and other lumber material. The work is carried on prin cipally by contractors who em- ploy a considerable number of workers and work is plentiful in the district. At the present time contracts for two million feet of cedar ties are held in the district, the price paid be- ing fifty cents per tie. This means a payroll for the district amounting in the aggregate to a million dollars.
 Fr. Allard states that the ab- Isence of snow during the past three weeks Or so has practic- ally suspended hauling oper- ations and had a decidedly det- rimental effect on the industry. IIt is expected, however, that snow will come later in the season, owing to so little hav- ling fallen during the early winter.

ANOTHER GOOD WORD FOR THE
INDIANS

Time was when the slogan of
many white pioneer in this coun-
try was. in brief, that the only good
Indian was Il dead one. Some then
acted very openly on that theory
and the conception of the Indians
real worth has not yet fully disap-
reared from thoughts entertained
Ey white men. Added to this has
hCcn the real difficulties attending
our methods for helping the rcd
taught him that the white mans
ways of earning a livelihood did not
comport with the Indians.
Notwithstanding all this some
Roadway has been made, good in
the Indian character once unsuspect-
ed has been discovered, though not
to the extent that oil has been dis
covered in the lands which had been
allotted TO the red men. Despite the
cncroaChments of greed round about
him, he has in many instances ad-

in other WAYS. lie may have be-
come so materialistic as to resent
the reputation of possessing an
artistic temperament.
This has happened. 4 well known
sculptor, Cyrus r. Dalin. says that
is art instinct was aroused by as
ISOLATION with the Indians in Utah.
Observing their cIeverness in model
ing in clay he became inspired t.

with n highly developed artistic
taste, declares their decorative work
not 'Saudy' as some say, but
beautiful in harmony of design and
IN color combination. that it is being
appreciated more and more by art
lovers. 1t would appear that Mr..
Dallin's acquaintance with the
Indians was peculiarly fortunate III
that he says he never saw one
drunk or disorderly.
