THE SEA LION HAS MANY THRILLING SCENES

Hobart Bosworth promises another treat for motion picture fans who de light in his drawing of strong sea characters when The Sea Lion," his latest starring venture, opens at the Liberty Theatre tonight.
 The Sea Lion is a study of the unbending ways of the sea and the stern character of sea captains. The plot deals with a calloused old Scandinavian master of whaling schooner, a regular old viking whose life has been embittered by the wife he believed to have been unfaitful to him twenty years previously. When chance makes his daughter an unwilling passenger on the ship the captain wreaks his vengeance upon her. The revelation of the truth comes in a series of smashing eli maXes that reach the height of emo ton.

SELDOyIA FORCING.
 ALE ID; MANY NEW
 BUSINESSES STARTED

That Seldovia and surrounding dis triet is forging ahead despite the bot ting of it's natural resources by a paternal government is shown by the new canneries and other businesses going in the past year.
 One of these is an all year round her ring plant, and the other is a com munity cannery. These industries with several new homes have brought about lasting air of prosperity, the citizens of the town working together to secure other plants.
 Seldovia is an old town, advantage ously situated in deep water har- bor, we'll sheltered from the winter winds, but evidently overlooked from lack of advertising The principal business houses at Seldovia are run by Chambers and Colwell, and Anton Jo- hansen, who carry stocks which are more complete than may be found in towns many times larger. One of the best dance halls in Alaska is main tained here by MT. Johansen, the in habitants tripping the light fantastic more often that other localities owing to the monotony of the long winters. A hard wood floor with simplifying photographic attachments gives quick results, and pool hall, ice cream par Tor, and barber shop are also to be found in the same building. Seldovia merchants are progressive and main tain fine light plants, a water system, and other modern facilities; and the steep-too shore line, provides fine dockin gfacilities. Situated at the mouth of Cook Inlet, nearly every yes sel going and coming calls at Seldo- via.
 Just north of the town lies Kache- mak Bay and Homer Spit, where some of the finest farms in the Territory may be found. Many homesteaders are taking advantage of the free lands to prove up on small holdings, and large grazing tracts provide range for cattle and sheep.
 Among the industries to be found near Seldovia is that of fur farming, the climate being especially adapted for fine fur. It is the only spot in Alaska as yet where fur farmers have made small fortunes from raising of black and silver gray foxes. Many of the islands around Seldovia have made their owners wealthy, and others are starting up.
 It has been stated that the Jesse Lee home at Unalaska will be removed to Seldovia and if this is done, the population will be increased by several hundred With fishing, clams7 crabs, large coal deposits, and the forests alive with moose and the hills full of sheep, the Seldovians live easily and contentedly, without thot of the keen competition of the outside world.

 Pouding desks is a senator's chief means of driving home what he has to say. The furniture has come in for some rough usage in the session just ended
 When a senator arises to denounce Wall Street or the corrupt interests or something else, the desk before him for the moment personifies theV object of his criticism and he socks it right and left.
 'The time has come (bang) when a halt (bang) must be called on the inroads being made (bang! bangD by the corrupt interests (wham) upon American liberty (bang! wham! biff) and so on.
 The senators have become so used to their own pounding that they can sleep contentedly with a lombard ment at their ears
 One of the most enthusiastic desk pounders is Senator Robinson of Ar kansas, who usually plays a xylO- phone solo on his own desk and then strolls over and biffs his neighbors'.

BUILDING WAGES
UP 100 PER CENT

High cost Of building forces the
average wage Garner to pay for
rent a greater proportion Of his
budget than is justified, or else o.
cupy accommodation beneath his
status. according to National Indus.
trial Conference Board. Building
costs in the United States have
doubled in the last ten years.
Shortage of building labor IL the
main cause Of high building costs,
and is due to immigration restric-
tons and to the fact that employers
in the past have not encouraged
apprenticeship. Consequently the
hourly wage in seventeen building
crafts are 100 per cent higher than
in 1914, and are FAR the highest
in any industry in the United
States, irrespective of considerable
bonus additions.
In spite Of labor costs, buildinc
activity during the rest Of this year
is likely to maintain its vigorous
progress.

VALUE Of
HOME OWNING
EXPLAINED
Mr.. Zepp Speaks of Homes
AS Influence in Family
ProgressiVeness

"When man or woman gets to
the point in life where he or she
is ready to build a home, the
speculative or money-making in:
fluence should not enter into the
transaction to any great extent"
This is the opinion expressed by
Guy. S. zepp, president of Lewis
Home Service.
There are two sides to. this
home building problem" said Mr..
Zepp.
First, and perhaps the most i'm
portant, is the financing; and sec.
orid, but no less important by any
means, is the sentimental side of
the thing. l maintain that the
JOY pride of ownership, comfort,
convenience, security, satisfaction
and happiness hat the requirement
of home brings is certainly worth
more than the home actually costs
in dollars and cents.
Your garden. your fireplace, and
the many little personal convent
ences which you and your family
enjoy give supreme contentment
because your home expresses your
taste. and your personality. In
every respect, therefore, it is, first,
last and all the time your own
home.
Therefore, l say that folks
about to build homes should not
be unduly influenced by the specu.
lative side of the investment.
