Mills discussed the matter with committee from the Port Townsend Chamber of Commerce. He also talked with delegations from several other towns and said that no decision has been reached as to where the plant will be located. Nothing is certain yet Mills explained beyond the fact that will probably build mill.
 Perhaps Alaska will get pulp mill, but it is cinch that the Coast cities will get the major share of the indus try. The way to build up Alaska is to bring in tourist population and then lock up all business houses for the winter and go below What goods the old Ice Box except for dividends?

 surface where either death or safety awaited. Dhe plane just topped a great pressure ridge, so close that the landing skis were broken. Then the plane came to rest in sort of cup. We were safe.
 Five Days in Airp!ane Home.
 For five days we lived in the cock pit of the airplane while not taking soundings through the ice. Here Cap tain Wilkins chopped a hole six feet deep and took soundings which show ed great depth. We were some 25O miles from land. It was impossible to take off from the point where the plane rested, so we decided to aban- don it.
 During the preceding landings was compelled to work with uncov- cred fingers in repairing the motor; the result was freezing four of my dig it's. This stub of my right little finger is all that is left after the physician at Point Barrow amputated two joints. The other two fingers were saved with difficulty.
 When we abandoned the plane we took sleds and loaded everything we felt we would need for the journey to land. After few miles we were con- vinced that pulling the sleds was i'm possible. We re-sorted the materials and loaded our packs, abandoning the sleds. We carried about 125 pounds each. The going was like walking over the irregular tops of those build ings over there, indicating across the street. I told Captain Wilkins that, with the load I was carrying I could make about a mile a day, so we again sorted our supplies and abandoned everything we thought we could spare Later the sleeping bags seemed super f1uous, so we abandoned one and tried sleeping together in the other. It was like stuffing sardines into a box, but it was the first night I had been re- ally warm since starting to walk We then cut the bottom from the remain ing bag and retained it, sleeping in our parkas and sticking our feet into the half bag.
 What with the precipitation and thawing frost in our garments all be- came damp Drying socks was impos- sible, as we only had a half gallon of gasoline for melting ice for water. So we would remove our socks, scrape the frost from them and then place them under our armpits while we slept. They were never dry, but kept pliable.
 We had practically IS days of going, most of which was hummocky and rough. Captain Wilkins periodically took our bearings with the sextant which showed that we were headed in the right direction. Calculations also showed that we were on a floe that was drifting southward. This took us about no miles in five days. First the current ran eastward and then southerly. We found several open leads but were able to pick narrow connecting bridges and cross.
 Captain Wilkins knowledge of the i Arctic currents brought apprehension He feared we would be caught in the current sweeping toward Siberia which proved disastrous to other ex- plorers. Without means for subsist- ing for any length of time, we realized

ACCORDING to present indications,
Gloria Swanson, who recently
severed her long standing connections
with Paramount to produce her own
pictures for United Artists release,
soon will make her bow to Washing
ton as an Independent producer.
Harold Lloyd is said to be deeply
interested in the outcome of Miss
Swanson's decision to produce her
own pictures, as well as the contem-
plated plan of other big stars of the
screen to join the ranks Of the indie
pendents." He feels that much of the
pessimism voiced in the industry over
such a step is hurtful to screen en-
deavor and initiative, and he is salts
fed that there would be better pic
lures if more Of the big stars would
joint the Independent ranks.
1T is impossible" he is quoted as
saying for a big artist to make good
pictures by a timetable schedule. One
cannot plan and dream with an effi-
cheney engineer at one elbow and a
cost accountant at the other. Yet
efficiency engineers and cost account
ants are necessary in the big studios
unless chaos is to result.

The composition will be given its pre-

be an unusual musical event.
The brilliant conductor has shown
himself particularly favorable to the
works of modern composers, introduc-
ing many new works into his pro
grams. His orchestra has been re
spOnshle for more firsttime perform
ances in Washington than any other,
and has done much toward this city's

new concerto are two Beethoven num-

Amateurs to Aid Screen.

To stimulate interest in amateur
theatricals. in the hope Of develop.
ing new faces for the screen. plans
are being made to award a handsome
trophy cup for the hest non-profes-
sional presentation in 1927 in the
United States.
Reginald Barker. former president
of the Motion Picture Directors Asso-
citation. has written a letter to the
organization offering to donate the
trophy. and suggesting that COM
mittee be appointed to judge reports
on amateur productions of importance
staged in America during the year.
The inspiration for the award comes.
it is said. from the insufficiency of the
supply of young men and women Of
obvious talent to meet the steadily in
creasing demands for players by the
big producing companies of the film
colony. according To Barker. At the
present time the supply of young
leading men in particular in Holly
wood is very limited and most of
the capable ones are tied up on con
tracts by the big producers. who are
loath to loan them 10 outside Organi-
cations.
Not a few Of filmdom's stars OF TO-
day have stepped from benefit per
formances to assume minor roles I'm
the movies. which turned out to be
the first step on the ladder to screen
fame.
