SECRECY SURROUNDS FILMING
 OF MYSTERY MOVIE FEATURE

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Jan. 26. (P)- For the first time in the history of moving pictures feature film is be- ing made here without announcing the name of any of the players ap- bearing in it or any of the production details.
 The feature is a mystery play, and it's future success on the screen, pro- ducers believe, demands absolute se- crecy as to it's making. Rigid rules were issued barring visitors, includ- ing those of other studios, from the sets, and requiring that all actors and actresses refrain from revealing their characters.
 Only the producers and directors know the identity of the cast or where the sequences are being filmed.

ASSOCIATED AND STANDARDBOTH
 CLOSED DOWN

At the time of closing down drilling operations a few days ago in the Cold Bay oil district it was reported by members of the crew which passed through Seward en route to Seattle on the steamer Northwestern, that the Associated were down 3,330 feet at the time work was suspended and the Standard were down 5040 feet when casing trouble necessitated closing down for repairs. This was just re- gently.
 The Associated closed down at this time owing to lack of fuel, it was said. Both companies are expected to send crews back into the field in March or April, according to the information re- ceived by the Gateway. However, it was believed that upon drilling being resumed by the Associated, new holes would be started.
 Heading the list of the oil crew was c. L. Jones, superintendent for the Associated. Other oil men were J. E. Jones, P. M. Peterson, c. D. Hyde, T. F. Irondale. J. J. Mitchell, Cliff Moody, F. Franklin, F. Phelps, H. Zarr, c. Johnson, Louis Never, Sam Scarr, Joe Sparrow. A number of these men remained in Seward, but the majority of them continued on to Seattle.

OLMSTED MADE NO EFFORT HIDE
 BOOTLEGGING

SEATTLE, Jan. 26. (P)-Whitney, on the stand today, testified that Olm- sted and associates admitted to him they were bootlegging and virtually dared the government to try to stop them. He said Harry Kern, one of the defendants told him: 'I will stop for nobody, on land or water; if l can not outrun them can outshoot them" :"
 Describing raids, Whitney recount ed one conversation with Olmstead and others when, he said, not the slightest effort was made to conceal the fact that they were bootlegging on a gigantic scale. He related that Cliff Morris, one of the defendants in the Olmsted case, admitted he was stop ped with a load of liquor in Seattle, August 31, 1924, but when he told the officers he was hauling for Olmsted, he was allowed to proceed.
 Whitney said Myer Berg was very cordial and talkative when they raid ed his home.
 You'll never find liquor here," Whitney, declared Berg said. "I al ways keep it somewhere else, but if your awful persistence is kept up you may catch us."
 On a motion of the defense attor- ney Vanderveer the court ruled Rev ellie must restrain from smiling in court. "This is serious case" said the judge.
 H. G. York, S5 years old, the eldest juror on the case, arose from the box, and asked: Your honor, is this a conspiracy case we are. trying? ?" The judge assured him it was and told him he would instruct him on other de- tails later.

Ladies Athletics At
 Local Gym Make a Hil

Decided improvement featured the A. c. gym Tuesday night, which great ly encouraged the ladies, and thoro- ughly satisfied their coachers. It is thought that the marked advancement is due, in large measures, to the fact that most of the women have been at ending the games played by the teams in the City League, closely observing the style of play and the actions of the men on the diamond.
 A touch of the science of defensive work was given them last week, the lnfielders being taught to make the play at second base in an effort to cut off the advancing runner when fair ball is hit and a preceding one is al- ready on first base. The responding attempts made by the ladies in this regard, thereafter, was we'll intended and very reassuring to the instruc- tors. Tonight special attention will be given to batting; the department of the game in which the players are the weakest.
 Most remarkable of all, perhaps is the manner in which these sessions are being attended. Fully twenty ladies participated in the last practice, while fifteen or more encouraged the players from the spectators gallery.
 Prior to the baseball practice the calisthenics class went through and enjoyed a set of exercises from very recent and effective course of training. The movements were given and dem onstrated by Mrs. R. B. Heaston, who received her instructions in the states.

RADIO CODE OF STANDARDS I
 IS AIM OF COMMITTEE WORK

CHICAGO, Jan. 26. P)-Having discovered that the public wants standardized radio parts, the manu- lecturers have gone back to the con- sumers to find out how they wish them made. Committees of manufac- turers are now at work on the re- plies to thousands of questionnaires from which will be formulated a code of standards.
 Radio thus becomes one of the first great industries of it's size, from which the public expects that the Smith company's parts must fit the Jones company's apparatus.

FAIRBANKS HAS HIGH
IDEALS

The good people of Fair
banks early in the campaign
determined that the notorious
character of Tom Marquam
should be made the leading is
sue. They declared that the
word should not go forth c.:
Nov. 2 that Marquanism was
their standard Of righteous
ness and civic pride. SO they
organized the Fourth Division
Republican Club, and in addi-
ton to Robert Lavery, chair
man of the Republican Com
mittee, entered into a battle
royal with the wielders Of the
slush fund and Subsidized
Press, to proclaim to the Ter
ritory that they stood for all
the higher things in life in
opposition to those that Mar
quam-and apparently Juneau

their splendid fight is known
and appreciated. Credit for
this effort and the expenditure
of their own money to bring
about this result is due to

the Senator-elect makes the
confident claim that he has
brought more of his own money
into Alaska for development
and investment possibly
taken less out-than any Of

match his independence, in

with the best of them.
Oh, yes. The voters of Jun

quite a few of the gullible in

L-CANAD|AN RUN
DEVELOPED?

Sudden increase in the sock
eye salmon catch of the Fraser
River system this season while
American fishermen were Sc
curing scarcely any fish is re-
garded by experts of the pro-
vincial fisheries department as
indicating that Canada is sue
ceeding in building up an all
Canadian salmon run. The
existence of this movement has
been known in a general way
for many years but the latest
returns from the fishing grounds
indicate that it has grown to
large proportions.
The Record
It is the most significant and
important development in the
whole Fraser river salmon prob
lem in the opinion of experts
who have surveyed the figures
Of this seasons operations in
the Fraser River canneries.
These indicate that the pack
for the Fraser for this season
would reach $4,000 cases-the
largest since 1917. During the
first few weeks of October
fishing was heavy in the Can
adam waters while in Amer
lean waters to the south prac-
tically no fish were caught.
Last season the Fraser sock
eye pack was 10000 saces, an
average one for recent years.

HOW THE INDEPENDENTS"
VLL|FY

One of the most contemplate
lies of the opposition, argued by
speakers and hired workers,
and the Subsidized Press, dur
ing the last days of the cam
paign, when the Republican
Advocate had gone to press
and there was no opportunity
to deny and defy the prevari-
Gators, was the charge that the
Republican candidate for Sen
ator had no home or business
in Alaska. When a man has
been engaged continuously for
more than rs years past in
printing, publishing, editing,
mining and other enterprises,
and only a few weeks ago sold
a piece of personal property
worth $1,000 that was bought
by the Empire for little more
than half that amount because
of certain action of corpora
ton lawyers, and who has
thousands of dollars invested
in two mining operations that
are now being carried on, it
would seem that the one charge
must fall fiat. Having lived in
Nome, Cordova and Juneau for
most of the time since 1000,
and having personal possessions
in Juneau since he located
there in 1921, and having vot-
ed in Juneau at every nunic-
ipal, primary and general cleo
ton from the Spring of 1922
until the present November,
and having registered or voted
nowhere else during that period,
it would seem as tho he was
a legal resident of Juneau,
where he spends about nine
months of each year, with the
exception of 1924 when he
spent six months in newspaper
work in another part of Al
aska. It is his habit to take
a trip nearly every year, either
to California or to his former

Men and red, red wine" she
promised, laughingly.
Sonia accepted, with color rising
in her cheeks.
Her first party in San Francisco!
Should she wear the green chiffon
or the pink? She decided on the
green as being more sophisticated.
She shopped, with part of her IA
theirs hard-earned check, for high
heeled silver slippers. There would
be dancing. Maxine had said.
She found Maxine's apartment
perched on the top of Russian Hill.
A climb that made her heart race,
then a view OF lights in the city be-
low that\ took her breath. The
apartment was only one large room,
colorful with chintz and cushions, a
Chinese rug and bits Of cleaning
copper and old brass. Her hostess
greeted her. Maxine was dressed in
dull blue, that made her blonde hair
shine like FURNISHED gold.
Not all the girls In the depart
ment were there. Only a chosen
few. Violet, with the too-redi lips
and too easy laughter; quiet mouse
Of a girl called jimmy, who could con-
sumo more liquor than any man
Sonia had ever met, and the two
friends, Fern and Frankie, who APP
peared to have a crush on each 9th
err, and whom Sonia, for that reason,
ignored.
Two Of the men Sonia had seen
at the office. One was an investor
In the company, a wealthy citizen of
Berkeley. Unmarried, Maxine con-
fided, and not far from forty years
old. Walter Henderson.
The other was a salesman. about
25, ir-haired, pale-faced, monde
script. Even before she touched his
cold hand Sonia had said to herself,
ALBERT Domohue. Check" Maxine
called him BERTHE"
The other men were all young,
vivacious, well groomed; so much
alike that it was difficult for her
to remember their names.
The liquor, as Maxine had prom
Used, flowed freely from a bowl on
the table. 1t was Italian wine, not
unpleasant to taste. 1t was a merry
evening with much kidding" and
some harmless open petting. They
danced to the music of a phono-
graph.
Sonia found that she was suffl-
GENTLY popular. Her silver slip
pers danced in and out with various
partners. Most OF the men danced
well--Bertie. particularly, she was
compelled to admit.
THAT was a peach of a dance,
Miss Marsh. May come AGAIN."
Sonia nodded and smiled. She
was no onversationalist, yet her
fascination was deadly enough to
win more and more partners

She lifted her head to meet his
interested eyes.
Yes; why?"
81 wondered Maxine tells me
you're just up from Stockton. Rather
lonely for you here, I imagine"
II am never lonely" flashed Sonia.
mo? What do you do all by your
self?"
Different things. Everything is
new to me. I enjoy the freedom
I am never bored"
She realized that most girls
would have taken his question as
a lead for the "friendliness in a
big city" line. But not Sonia! And
her ruse worked. Before their dance
was over he had whispered, Lone
ly or not. I'm coming to carry you
off some night"
It was almost midnight when Max
ines bell rang and she admitted a
large. handsome man. Sonia had
never seen him before, but he
seemed to be well known to the rest
of the party. He was older than
most of them, with a distinguished
manner, as If he were accustomed to
attention.
Maxine introduced him to Sonia
as her Daddy" Mac MacGregor.
For a moment Sonia thought he
really was her father, then seeing
them drink from the same glass and
kiss each other, she decided Maxine
had meant quite otherwise.
When the party broke up, it was
BERTHE who insisted on seeing Sonia
home; BERTHE, who. in the shadow
Of her respectable home. squeezed
her hand and whispered, II Ake you.
We're going to see lots of each
other"

Sonia, evading his icy fingers.
IT know class when I see it," con-
tinued the fatuous BERTHE, warmed
by her smile and too much of the
red wine And when see it, be
lieve me 1 go after it,"
THAT for you, BERTHE, Sonia,
safe in her room, snapped her fin
gers, impatiently.
Her first party was over. And as
a result she found herself wishing
for the clean masculnity Of Joe
Carter. Strangely disappointed. she
stepped out Of the green chiffon and
yawning, sought her bed.
