PREMIER ENTERTAINERS PLANNING NOVEL
 ENTERTAINMENT

Word comes from the Pre- mier that the highly talented aggregation of musicians and players, whose recent musical comedy entertainment was probably the best entertain ment of that kind ever seen in Hyder, are preparing to give another show at the mine on New Years eve. This time the entertainment will be in the form of a cabaret show, and will be conducted on identical lines with the entertainments given in the cabarets outside. Tables will be laid and it is planned to serve luncheons to the guests while witnessing the performance. Every effort will be made to make the sur roundings and performance as nearly like those of a real cab- Iaret as is possible. Details of the program are not fully worked out as yet, but the Pre- mier orchestra will take a large part and the performers will include Art. Irwin, Stan ley Alton, Mrs. Alton, Russel Carr, Mrs. Jackson and others who contributed so materially to the highly pleasing enter tainment given earlieer in the season. With this array of talent on the bill there is no doubt that the entertainment will be we'll worth seeing.

C. OF C. TO EXTEND
 RAIL ROAD PUBLICITY

Discussion of various phases of the. recently inaugurated movement to secure transcon- tinental railroad connections for Alaska by inducing con- struction of an extension of one of the Canadian railroads to Stewart and Hyder, was the leading theme of discussion at the last meeting of the Cham Der of Commerce last week.
 Various features of the pro- posal and particularly the economic value to the Territory through reduction of transport ation charges and loss of time in transporting products to and from the outside markets, were touched upon and suggestions were offered regarding the ex- tension of the attempts now being made to make the pro- posal a reality.
 It is believed that when the possibilities of the proposal are understood, the effort now being made by the Chamber will receive the endorsement and backing of practically all Chambers of Commerce and other civic and commercial organizations throughout Alas ka and an effort will be made to extend the publicity cam paign so that complete data regarding the character of the proposal and what it will mean to the Territory to have a transcontinental railway term inal within it's borders will be widely disseminated.

ALASKAN INVENTS
 REMARKABLE ENGINE

An engine weighing only 80 pounds but developing 80 horsepower and with such lack of vibration that it can be placed on two chairs and run at full speed without being dis lodged is the recent invention of a former Alaskan, Edwin Gould.
 The engine promises to revo- lutionize the motor market, due to the fact that it is of an entirely new type. According to the claims of the inventor it can be operated by gasoline, distillate, steam or compressed air, and measured by the horse power developed it is the light est engine manufactured.
 MT. Gould, who made a for tune in the Nome country in the early days, has spent the past fourteen years developing and perfecting his idea. He is now located in San Francisco where he has established a plant for the production of his invention.
 The new engine is said to be constructed on entirely new principles and owing to it's ex- treme lightness and great pow CT is especially adaptable for airplanes, autos and boats. It IS believed that it is but mat ter of time before sea going vessels will be equipped with the larger types of the engine MT. Gould has also a compress or constructed on the same principle as the engine which will be manufactured at his plant and will soon be on the market.

 Following the services there was a business meeting of the church officers and the Com munity Christmas Tree Com mittee.

RECORD RETURNS FROM
 ALASKA FoREsTs-1sz4

Alaska's share in the net pro- ceeds from the national for 'csts in the Territory for the fis- Ical year ending June 30, 1924, amounted to $50, 514.67, ac- cording to a statement issued by the District Forester's of- flee. The receipts were the largest in the history of the Territory. The former high water mark was reached in 1920, when $26,73O was re turned to the Territory by the federal government. The re- turns for the year ending last June are almost one. hundred per cent in excess of those Of 1923. In the latter year Alas ka's share, which is 25 per cent of the net receipts, was $17,778.
 It is we'll for the people of Southeastern Alaska to note particularly that ninety per cent of the receipts came from sales in Tongass National For est, according to official rec ords. In the receipts just re- ceived, 28,170.27 were sal,s in Southeastern Alaska and 2,344.40 from Chugach For est sales.

Apropos of the cold snap of the past week, it is reported by old timers that much cold CT weather has developed sev- eral times during the camps existence. Temperatures of 20 below zero or lower, have been recorded and on at least one occasion the cold became so intense that Portland Canal was frozen over from the Stewart tide flats to a point near the mouth of the Marmot River. This fact was verified recently by the master of the steamer Chiliwack, who stated that on one of his first visits to this port in the days when Hy- der was known as Portland City, the canal was frozen over solidly to point about oppo- site the present Hyder Dock site and his vessel landed it's cargo on the ice, from whence it was transported to land by sleds.

The British Columbia govern ment has cut expenses from the record of last year to the amount of $1,30O,000, accord ing to a Vancouver journal.

Following continued below zero weather at the Premier last week, the freezing up of the water system all but put the power plant out of com mission, according to recent visitors from the mine. The freezeup of the pipes came very suddenly and was not dis covered until the DiesePs com- menced to heat. Before a new supply could be obtained through utilizing the rojne water, only the smallest of the engines could be run. It look ed for time as if the power plant would be put out of com mission entirely but this costly eventuality was averted by drawing water from the mine workings.

FIRST DIVISION CASTS
 NEAR RECORD VOTE

A check of the duplicate tally books from the various pre- cincts in the First Division show that a total of 4,898 votes were cast Il Southeastern Alas. ka in the recent General Elect ion, according to the Juneal, Empire, which says:
 This is the largest number cast in any election since 1916 and is 2 most if not ili fact equal eo that i. 1916.
 Offic:.1l records at til, Gov ernor's office show the fol- lowing totals: 1922, 3,093; 1920, 4,187; 1918, 2,821. The official records examined to- day did not contain a state ment of the total 1916 vote but showed a total of 4,61O ballots cast in the wet or dry referen- dunn. This, of course, is some less than the total vote which, it is not believed, could have been more than 100 or 200 more. The indications are that the Indian votes cast this year not less than 1000 and poss- ibly in excess of that number. It was this vote which made possible the apparent election of three of the four Hunt-Paul candidates on the Republican ticket. The Indian vote was almost unanimous for that tick ct and carried Forest J. Hunt ahead of Norman R. Walker for senator after the latter had seemingly safe lead.
 According to the Empires figures Paul lead Connors by 29 votes and Hardy lead Hern by Al for fourth place in the legislative lineup.
 Sutherland's majority over Boyle for delegate was 893, the delegate receiving 2,798 to MT. Boyle,s 1905.
 The vote cast for preference for governor was but little more than 50 per cent of the total and gave Cash Cole 2,548 votes in the Division.
 In the race for Attorney Gen eral, Rustgard beat Henry Roden by GIG votes, receiving 2,520 to 1904.
