Dozens of small skulls, believed to be those of Aleuts, stacks of clam shells. packed solidly for 12 feet in depth. baby toys consisting of dolls made of ivory and bone. bone need les and primitive cooking untensils. the ruins of hundreds of sod houses are but few of the relics and sights to be seen in the old settlement near the sulphur springs in Moller Bay. The old traditions. as told by the na- tives in that part of the country, is that Interior Indians, many years ago, swarmed over the westward dis trict, killing off the entire village. It is said that dig where one wishes in these old ruins. he will invariably bring to light some interesting relic of the past.

IMPORTANCE OF MINING

The public too often ignores the importance of the mining industry as a factor in national prosperity. notwithstanding that it pays the major portion of the taxes collected in a score or more of states, fur nishes direct employment to more than a million citizens. and indirect ly to several times that number, pro yides more than 50 per cent of the annual freight tonnage of the rail- roads of most of the eonvenienees and luxuries of life.
 Mining is a basic industry. The miner is one of the primary de- yelopers of natural wealth. The industry merits every possible en- couragement. And the public as well as the state and Federal govern ments should guard and protect it against every move that might jeop- ardise the stability it has created largely as the result of the efforts of those who have devoted their lives and fortunes to it's development, improvement and expansion From the Mining Congress Journal.

REGARDING TOURISTS

The Post-Intelligencer intimates that there is too much advertising of Alaska as a tourist attraction to the exclusion of advertising il as a land of great resources and poten- tial development. Perhaps. but it must not be forgotten that the tourist advertising brings direct re- suits while most of the development comes through other sources than advertising. The investor comes here to investigate specific proposi- tions that are presented to him by those seeking capital. He rarely comes as a result of news stories or general advertising.
 Furthermore, tourist advertising frequently is the indirect cause of the development of resources. It brings tourists or big game hunters who become interested in the coun- try and either return to develop some opportunity that has come under their notice or they invest money with someone or some con eern that is already developing something. That has occurred ire quently in Alaska. Just as Cali fornia tourists have remained in that state, and aided it to become great, former Alaska tourists are among our best developers.-Juneau Empire

RAILROADS TO PICK
! BASE RATE POINTS
Southern Pines Expected to
Name Small Towns Under
New Scale.

Another move in the extensive in
vestigation under way by the Inter
state Commerce Commission, which
is going into all class rates in the
South, including those between
Washington and southern points was
taken Yesterday when the commits
sion announced that the carriers az

for the suggested new rates all towns
or cities having a population of 1000
or more and many other smaiieF
points. Rates will be published from
each base point to every other base
point computed strictly" on the
bases prescribed in a preliminary re-
port by the commission.
Commission Eastman, in a formal
statement, asked shippers and per-
sons affected by the decision to exam
inc carefully the rate basis tariff to
be published by the carriers, urging
that if the conclusion is reached that
the rates do not comply with the pre-
liminary findings the commission
should have that fact made known
in advance, to enable it to deal with
the situation without resort to its
powers Of rate suspension.

the man who wore the cats eye
ring has been stabbed to death
with a long knife. And The ring
is missing. Up to this time you
think that all the well dressed
people could never be characters in
a Sinclair Lewis novel or "libel." "
Yes, my dear, you have not heard
half of the dirt. For three acts
YOU wonder why Shakespeare ever
took time to stage the bedroom
scene in "Othello," because the
author of 1.-The Donovan Affair" lets
you know about every skeleton that
ever ratified in the closet of every
character he introduces you to. And
speaking of murder-you have one
before the curtains goes up, you
have one on the stage at the close
of the first act, then you have near
murder and then you have pretty
mess lust before the guilty guy OF
murder No. l is unmasked. NOW
ask me his name. You know Will
not tell you. I never have given
away the plot of mystery play and
I will not start after "Abie's Irish
Rose" is five years old and then
probably some more.
Will tell you about the acting.
The Berkell Players are doing well
with this tricky mystery play. On
the opening night it moved with
greater dispatch and sureness than
other plays of this nature that this
company has given.
This was accomplished by the
sure work of Milton Byron as the
detective sent to find the guilty guy.
Byron gives a performance that
keeps you guessing. That is What
is demanded and he accomplishes
that and something more.
>Alney Alba gives good reading
of Jean Rankin, whose past is
dished up something awful before
the last act is over. Larry Sullivan
comes through with corking per-
Torrance. He, too, keeps you
guessing up to the last minute. Ber-
nice Marsolais has chance to do
some emotional work that cracks
like a firecracker. Good work.
There are many others in the cast.
From scenic standpoint this one
set show is right.
1.-THE Donovan Affair" is of the
theater and as such it answers its
purpose-it entertains and keeps
one guessing.

Witnesses in Hiding

Blackmer and O'Neil, who know
more about this business than they
care to tell, hide in Europe to
avoid taking the witness stand.
Government authorities have
not been able to locate O'Neil and
serve him with a summons, but
they have served a summons on
Blackmer, which his counsel
claims is unconstitutional because
it was served outside the territory
of the United States and which
will not be obeyed for that reason.
This is a pretty state of affairs for.
a sovereign government to face.
The United States of America
cannot gain full information with
regard to transaction by which
a former cabinet member and a
multi-millionaire attempted to de-
fraud the people out of millions of
dollars because a witness is able
to thumb his nose at it from across
the ocean.
What better method could rich
men ask for baking prosecution?
IT witnesses can escape giving
testimony by taking ship for
Europe and getting beyond tie
jurisdiction of American courts. is
not their removal just a question
Of cash?

Politics and PEOPLE
BY RAY TUCKER

Political campaigning has been steadily losing its
color and clash for many years, for a variety of
reasons 1t has been due to the publics lack of time
or energy to devote to national crsades to change
IN manners and taste, and than ALL to the dis
appearance of leaders with appealing personalities and
stirring issues.
In fact political Indifference has actually been en-
couraged by the present Administration though that
may not have been the purpose President Coolidge
has repeatedly said that he sought to take the Nations
sons OF Congress has been based largely his de-
sire to conduct the Government without the criticism
or suggestions of its 531 members.
Whatever the reason, it is fact that interest in
government and politics has been at low ebb Polit
cal philosophers deplore the fact for natural con-
duties
There those, however who believe that this is
only temporary phenomenon, due as much to the
general assitude following the exciting days as to
the Coolidge laissez-fare attitude. It is predicted
that the next campaign may be quite different from
that of 1924, when candidate succeeded in arous
ing wholehearted interest understanding of what
he represented and was fighting about.
This hope is based largely the personalities of
men mentioned as possible candidates both sides.
Jim" Reed or CAP Smith or Newton Baker for the
Democrats ought to be able to dramatize any contest
in which they happened to be participants there
would be no lack of color if either of these figures
headed one ticket And they should be sent against
hell-and-maria" Dawes, with his pipe that belches
fire and smoke like Vesuvius, the days of Indifference
might soon disappear
Secretary Hoover is another whose record at least
appeals to the imagination He has not the dash or
pictureSqueness of the other three but the who
fed Belgium and twenty other countries who brought
relief to the flooded area and who has been called
'hlmanitys DOCTOR" would hardly speak to empty
halls or indifferent audiences.
Men rather than measures seem to stir the Aneri-
people

I'm A PEST HOUSE"
STILL LIVES ON

Old friends sometimes are the
best. Am now speaking of Roger
Imhof and Marcelie Coreene in I'm
a Pest House"
Yes, this is the same old hokum
classic done along the most extreme
character lines. Still keeping the
same old atmosphere and retaining
few of the old standard jokes, I'M
hof has added many new laughs to
this elderly, and it deserves to be,
classic of the stage.
The nutty bellhop with white hair,
who must wear a firemans uniform
to get uniform heat Che fires the
stove at odd moments), this season
has radio instead Of his checker
board. The nurse still arrives but
Imhof tantalizes her with many a
modern remark.
Have told you many times about
Imhof and his pest house." It is
still classic and a welcomed yearly
visitor. Here is one of the few vari-
ETY. institutions that has the right
to be exhibited year after year in
variety theaters.
Harden tells you that he in
herited some tricks from his late
brother, Houdini. He tells you that
years ago he was famed magician,
but that one magician in q family
is enough. So Hardeeen went into
business. Houdini kept on. And
when Houdini died, Harden
answered the call. Harden is doing
what may be called a magic act
that depends upon equipment to
present. His best stunt is the alarm
clock act. He is doing a trunk act
similar to Houdini. Harden is
the magician, who has been to
school while Houdini was the
master. There is a difference.
Harry Holmes is an eccentric
comedian, who toys with a piano
and hen of the hen yard variety.
He didn't knock me dead, but some
laughed. He tries to be different and
is because he has mo ending

tTie. 1t brings one to a closer mental
as we'll as a sympathetic under
standing of what every woman
knows. And what does she know,
this every woman?" She knows that
the man very high up doesn't know
that a woman thought up the big
things of life which he just pol
ished up" into gems"
To really capture this elderly but
always young gem of Barrie, one
must have a cast that radiates
charms And we have such a cast
at English's this week.
An invitation to charm is Of
fered one by Patricia Collinge, who,
as Maggie Wylie, is wearing the
magic ''Shoes" of several great
women of the stage.
Miss Collinge catches the cob
web but sterling beauty of Barrie
when she starts to paint the
every woman" character of Mag
gle. You see her knitting in the
first act and you see her knitting
in her great third act when she
learns the danger that every woman
knows.
Her Maggie is painting of many
colors and tone. 1t is much like
great pipe organ, now tender and
soothing in tone, now little
troubled, and then, very suddenly,
laugh of much meaning, and, then
only a moan.
That is the beauty and majesty
that I found in the character work
of Miss Collinge. I am very salts
fled to tell you that in my opinion
Miss Collinge has captured all of
the possible beauty of Barrie in
What Every Woman Knows"
And now turning to Larry
Fletcher, who is the new John
Shand of the play. 1t is the same
Fletcher in body that we had with
us in the Stuart Walker Company
here last season, but it is a more
powerful and understanding Fetch
er. He is a good John who doesn't
understand what every woman
knows. He is fine in the tender
scenes of charm that Barrie paints.
In fact, he is the understanding
actor who turns out a very con-
ceited and lovely John. A real per-
Torrance. 1t shows great growing
power along character drawing
lines.
ask you to study the charm of
understanding of what some women
know on the part of Selene John
son as the Countess de la Briere.
Here is a picture that deserves the
frame of the unforgotten, if there
be such thing. Here is high char
acter work done in a true Barrie
complex. And then again turn to
the charm" of Lumsden Hare as
Mr. Venables. A little bit "Pick-
wick" but still Barrie. Real charm
here.
There are numerous others pres
ent, especially Edward H. Loefher,
EUGENE Waber and John Rotb.
Here is a very tender and charm
ing "What Every Woman Knows"
Those who delight in the best should
not fail to see this one.

Ignorance of JurieS

The layman finds it hard to
understand how the law can cry
fraud in a civil case and then
acquit the perpetrators of it in a
criminal case.
1t is curious phase of our sys-
tenn of justice that a jury which is
acceptable chiefly on account of its
ignorance can, if it feels so in
clined, nullify the words Of the
highest court in the land.
The lease negotiated by Fall and
Sinclair has been cancelled on the
ground that it was Matched in COR
Eruption, but it is within the power
of twelve men and women to
whitewash those who Matched it.

TRACY
SAYS:
If Fall and Sinclair We're
Poor Men Could They
Get Away With What
They Haze?
SAYS:

The Elk Hills and Teapot Dome
leases constitute what probably
was the most gigantic swindle
ever attempted in this country.
The public property that was
handed over to private interests
by these leases amounted to no
less than $4O0,Oo0,00o.
Such figures make Tweed look
like a piker.
Both leases have been annulled
on the ground of fraud, but in a
recent trial, Fall and Doheny were
acquitted Fall and Sinclair now
are on trial at Washington, and
one wonders if they will expert
ence similar good fortune at the
hands of a jury.
