RETURNING. ALASKAN
 SAYS COAST IS BAD
Anchorage. Times. )


 There is lot of unemployment in Portland and Seattle. at the present tine, and there will not be much im- provement until spring, at the earli- est, according to Vic Hickman, mem- Der of the Alaska Railroad forces in anchorage, who returned home this week from trip. to the States. Con- ditions are particularly bad in Port land, he declares, with rents high and jobs at premium.
 Hickman obta.ned a lot of first flaad iIiforomatloa about working con- t.o,tions. lie visited the varioous enl- plooyment offices on severa, occasions during his stay in Portland and made personal inquiry regarding work of different kinds. The ornces were crowded, day and night with men seeking work and regular stampede followed the posting of every job. Inquiry regarding wages revealed the fact that clerks who were getting S35 week not sosvery long ago are now working for s20sa week, and the salaries of bookkeepers- have shrunk from S125 a month to S100. Carpen- ters are working for 15s cents an hour, which is just half, the amount they were getting ? few years ago. [ The cost of living has decreased considerably also. since Hickman was last in Portland with..the exception of rents. A very Ordinary furnished house or apartment commands a rental of $50 and from thateupward.
 Mr. Hickman's brother is engaged in the real estate business; and he learned freom@ him that Nthefe is very little doing in that line. It =has been quiet during the last. three months and no improvement, is anticipated before spring.: Mir. Hickman says he was approached By do fewer thar five men on a single block in Portland, all of them seeking financial aid.
 After the Anchorage. man had ] found a good home for his three motherless children in Portland, he 1 thought he might find job there for l the winter, i'll order to be near them, but after 8 book around he concluded . tnot Alaska had more to offer to the wage earner than any fthe Coast l cities.

present for several years that they are destroying muskrats. They are also charged with killing the young of big game.
 Wolves have been with us loonger than the coyotes and are apparently also increasing and spreading into other sections of the Territory. The food habits of the wolves include many items of the coyotes menu and, being a larger and bolder animal, he, enlarges his diet by killing big game. None of the big game. except pos sibly the bear, suffer from inroads' into their number by wolves.
 1.-The future abundant supply of fur and game for the people of the Territory who rely ntrapping ass Il. livelihood and on game as food sup ply, it is feared, depends on u a.control of these predatory animals. Mayn sections are now feeling the effects of the presence of predatory animals, a condition which perhaps cannot be overcome, but can be alleviated7 yb the active cooperation of the trap pers and prospectors in the hills. The Territory is paying bounty of S15 each as an indurement for this CO., operation.
 An appealsis made to every trap per and prospector in the Territory to take an active part in thecontrol of these animals and turn the scale froom thepresent increase to de- crease in their numbers"
 The pamphlet recommends certain types oftraps and other equipment for use in trapping wolves and coy otes. It also describes the most eff cient methods of their use.
 It gives two formulas for use in trapping operations and tells where they may be obtained. Directions for making box traps, the placing of sets, making sets, sets not to be used and other tinformation is contained in the circular. Cooperation between indf vidual traappers is urged

tors, and the play turns out TO be a
moderately interesting melodrama,
skilfully acted by Judith Anderson,
Lou Tellegen, j. Malchom Dunn,
Ben johnson and others. The story
tells of a sculptor who hires the
daughter of mail carrier to pose
for statue which he is creating for
a millionaire customer.
The sculptor naturally falls in
love with his model, but when he
learns that she has practiced a de-
ception upon him and is, in reality,
the daughter of the proposed GUS
toner for the bust instead of the
mail carrier, he refuses to marry
her because o fthe wound to his
pride. The woman, however, is
clever, and left to her. she soon ar
ranges all matters. The play has its
shortcomings, but the cast is al
most perfect, and if the reception
was not unduly cordial, at least it
was sufficiently so to warrant the
prediction of ultimate success.

l. they're off in the Ramona cho-
rus contest. The track is light and
there are many entries, and may
the best writer win.
Just think. To win the first prize
of $25 all you have to do is send
in new chorus for the song, Fra
mona" Indianapolis may have a
better song writer than the person
who wrote the original. You may
be that person.
Hunt up pencil and a piece of
paper and let the words flow as you
hum the tune. If you don't know
it now, you will later, because it is
sung and played everywhere by
nearly everybody.
Ramona" is the name of the pic
ture to be shown at the Palace
starting today, so sit down and write
a chorus for the song. The Ind
annapolis Times and Loew's Palace
Theater are sponsoring the contest
for a better chorus.
The prizes for the winners
amount to $50 and first winner is
to get $25, the second SIS and the
third $40. It's easy money for a
few minutes pleasant work.
There are a few simple rules to
follow. Remember that the. words
of your chorus must be written
around the picture. 1t must be ap-
propriate. Secondly. you must send
them to the Chorus Editor of the

One needs but to imagine this
host of fine players in this old
comedy by Goldsmith to realize
what a rare pleasure it is. 1t is not
often that a so-called star cast really
lives up to its reputation, but this
cast, fro mthe principals to the
smallest bit, is excellently acted, and
skilfully projected.
The engagement is limited one,
after which the cast will begin again

ORIENTAL ST. CLOSING
URGED BY ENGINEER
Traffic Hazard Caused by Plan to
Elevate Tracks Is Reason.

Closing of Oriental st. at the
Southeastern Ave. crossing and
opening of Leota ST., a block south,
between Southeastern Ave. and
Washington ST., was recommended
today by City Engineer A. H. Moore.
The board of works was expected
to adopt the resolution closing ORR
entail and condemning property to
permit opening Of Leota for the ad-
ditional block.
Oriental is being closed because
of the traffic hazard created under
the plan to elevate the Pennsyl-
vania tracks at that point.
The Ford Motor Company plant,
west of Oriental, threatened to re-
move the plant to another city if
the street was not closed.
If the street remained open it
would require reorganization of the
factory machinery because of the
sidetrack, which is used to unload
cars in the rear of the plant.

new BUSINESS INDEX
IN STOCK CLEARINGS

NEW YORK, November 27 R,-A
new business index, disclosing accu-
rately the extent of speculative activ-
ity, is provided in the new monthly
report of the New York Stock EX-
change on the value of all contracts
settled through the Stock Clearing
Corporation.
Previous to organization of this cor
poration, an estimate of the total was
obtainable from bank clearing t1gureS,
since the New York Clearing House
handled the checks written in settle
ment of Stock Exchange deals during
each business day.
incidentally, every dollar represent
ed by stock traded in those days had
to be covered by check. whereas
through the operation of the Stock
Clearing Corporation, which balances
accounts of member firms in stocks
as we'll as cash, only a small propor-
ton of the daily exchanges requires
settlement by check. An instance is
September when more than $900O,-
600 900 worth of stocks changed hands.
yet actual cash required to settle all
accounts barely exceeded $1,000,000,0 900.
The total value of contracts for
October, $10,698,337 ,227, was the
largest of the year and brought the
total for the first 10 months approx
mately to $75.000,0 100000. The total
value in October, 1927, was about S.
600. 100000. The total for each month
of 1928 consistently has been above cor
responding months of 1927. Actual
cash required for clearings so far this
year has been about $4,000 100000.

PUBLIC WTIIM PLAYS BIG PART
IN SHAPING MARKET COURSE

ceed. Since March of this year the
industrials have consistently been max
ing new highs but the rails have not
been so consistent, for although they
are active enough they have met with
too much selling resistance on several
occasions to make worthwhile gains
into new high ground
Just last week the railroad averages
reached new high by a fraction. Some
adherents hailed the movement as posi-
tive proof that the bull market would
continue indefinitely. More conserva-
tive observers. however, are of the opin-
ion that the rails must make more de-
cided gains before such a prophecy is
| justified
Before the Government took an active
regulative part in railroad affairs the
rails and industrials moved together
very closely and each corroborated the
movement of the other Rails are no
i longer purely speculative vehicles. They
| now have more of the characteristics of
bond prices and are therefore more
| closely associated with money market
conditions than with speculative senti-
ment.
As result the railroad averages have
made new highs by fractions on several
occasions in the past only for the entire
market to drop back suddenly. This
happened in November of last year and
again in May of this year
With these facts in mind. therefore
many believe it unwise to take the re-
cent new highs of rails as an extremely
bulliSh indication.

special DlSpatcn TO Inc star.
NEW YORK, November 27-There
was time when the movements of the
stock market could be guaged accurately
enough by statistical standards such as
pig iron production, money rates and
so on. The closing days of bull mar
ket we're heralded by certain changes of
these data. The human factor in stock
buying was always recognized to be
present, but its effect was not strong
enough to upset the barometers. To-
day, however, with the universal public
interest in securities the human pSy-
chology which bids the investor to buy
or sell is assuming more Importance.
For after all, buying and selling stocks
isn't Just a matter of statistics and
data--in almost every purchase and
sale human nature plays an important
part. Financial men would give great
deal for a barometer of the investing
publics whimS.
Stock averages have long been used
to gauge the interplay between the buy
ing and selling forces, and to determine
which is the stronger. These averages
cannot be used with mathematical
exactness. A good measure of common
sense is necessary to take account OF
! the human element which is unpredlc-
able.
The most useful of the theories ot
averages is that which says that so long
as the general averages OF both indus
| trial and railroad stocks continue to
make new highs bull market will pro-
