 Audience

One of the largest audiences ever packed into the Liberty Theatre greet. ed "The Covered Wagon" last night, Emerson Hough's great western story, shown for the first time in Seward. By actual count 313 persons saw the screen dramatiZatiOn of former days, and indications that fully as large a crowd will witness the production to- night.
 The audience agreed that it was the best show seen here in years, even better than "The Four Horseman," and like productions.
 "The Covered Wagon" will be seen for the last time tonight, after which it will move southward. Those who are found of plays of Texas and the Southwest will be pleased with the plot and action. The scene starts off with action, and the suspense is intensified up to the last foot of the ten reels.

WHY NOT TAX IGNORANCE?

While the legislators are casting about for some way in which to re- lieve conditions by raising more reve- nues they are overlooking one of the best sources of revenue, tax on ig- norance.
 The tax could be applied somewhat along the following lines:
 For each tourist featuring on the Territory, after returning from their summer tour, S10; for faked snow pie lures, S100; wild animal stories as high as compatible with the narrow ness of the alleged escape from in jury by the reconteur; for fake stories on whale, S100; for alleged description of hardships endured while in Alaska, $50; for sending out pictures of writ CTS wearing parkas and driving dog team, 5000: for terming Alaska The Frozen North" S75; for writing to friends about numerous bachelors in Alaska, 5000; for retailing stories of alleged cases of insanity. incarceration for life in some private sanitarium for the feeble minded; for detailing desolation and solitude witnessed by sympathetic tourists, 5000; for taking pictures of snoWbanks, later than April l, variab tax up to S2500; for seeing things" that are as they are not, S100; for telling of miserable con- dition of Alaska women, s1000000000; for all other fake reports, S700. Rates should be given school teachers and c1ergymen.
 Shipwrecks, icebergs, blizzards and any out of the ordinary experience encountered or alleged to have been encountered by the tourist could be satisfactorily adjusted by the tax col lector, owing to age and physical condition of the taxed.
 No rebate would be given for travelling knowledge of Curwood's tales of the north. Those reciting Robert Service or Pat O'Cotter should be barred from the territory as unde- sirables.
 Considerable revenue could be rais- ed in this manner, and there is no doubt but that the tax would be a just and legitimate one

 Of particular interest are the scenes of the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes which are said to be the first moving pictures taken in the district and should prove of unlimited value to Al aska.
 The views of the ice masses in the Arctic and the glaciers are splendid and the action of the theme showing the dog teams on the ice and the mis- haps which befelI the characters were not overdrawn, many of them being similar to true incidents which have occurred in the experiences of the old timers in the North.
 The scene showing two of the char acters whirled on a raft down river demanded courage of the players who actually performed the feat on one of the treacherous streams near the southwest coast.
