Johnny Hines latest picture THE
Wright Idea" will be shown at the
Eltinge theatre, starting Friday for
two days.
In THE Wright Idea" the comedian
unwittingly runs off with q yacht
which doesn't belong to him, for the
simple reason that the kind soul who

Consequently, the owner Of the
yacht becomes anxious for his stolen
property, broadcasts his loss over the
radio. and obtains the cooperation Of
. United States Navy Eagle Boat to
help run down the boat which is
rumored to be in the hands of boot
leggers.
For this thrill sequence in which
fast action Is mingled with hilarious
comedy, an eagle boat was construct
ed strictly to conform with govern
ment specifications under the super
vision Of Harry K. Kellet, q naval
reserve officer. Much Of tho ma
terial used was from the former SUBJ
marine base at San Pedro, California.
THE Wright Idea" Is scoring q big
hit wherever 1t is shown with johnny
Hines at the laughter helm assisted

raine plays the leading feminine role,
and others figuring prominently in

WHO OWNS POWER SITE

Every power project which touches public lands or forest reserves, or which uses the wat CTS of navigable streams, must get a license from this Federal Power Commission.
 This license runs for NOT MORE than 50 years. At the end of that time, the govern ment can take over the plant at actual cost, less the amount set aside for depreciation.
 MT. King, accountant for the Power Commission, whose head $ being sought by the Power Trust, holds and insists that ev- cry project under control of the Commission MUST set aside a definite and substantial amount each year for depreciation. THE LAW REQUIRES THAT, and MT. King enfOrces the law.
 "The Power Trust wants to set aside only a nominal" sum for depreciation, or even none at all.
 Say plant costs $100,0O0,000 and that under MT. Kings plan the sum set aside for deprecia- tion amounts to $50,000,000 by the time the license has expired, Then the government can take over that property for $50,O00,- 900 in cash. The thing will have half paid for itself!
 But suppose the Power Trust scheme is followed, and only nominal" sum is set aside for depreciation. Then the govern ment, if it wishes to take over the plant, will have to pay prac- tically the full $100,000,000 for a partly obsolete property,-L BOR.

OPTOMISTIC TIMES

Optomistic Times-but the time for optomism in Alaska is far 5her away than ever and still going away.
 The one industry able to care for the needs of the people of Alaska in industrial lines are the fisheries. Ruled and misruled by the Bureau of Fisheries the re- 'idents are headed for other in 1ustrial centers where it is less easy to starve and where envir- onment is more congenial at 2 'ower cost.

 A letter just received from Lo- gansport, Ind, shows that the same thing can be done in the United States just as well as in Canada. As in the Canadian town, organized workers took the lead, local chairman of Lodge 52, B. of L. F. and E., tells the story:

MORE PEOPLE FOR ALASKA

with preparations in progress for the decennial census, the population of Alaska is eStimat- 9d by it's officials at 55,000. Of jheSe, 3O,00O are whites and the remainder Eskimos and Indians, 0r natives as they prefer to be ?alled. The number is small for region one-third the size 0f the States and rich in mani fold resources. Establishment )f paper pulp mills in the heavi- y timbered parts of Southeast 9rn Alaska is assured. These enterprises will bring new in nabitants. The reindeer indus try will soon be furnished ade- 1uate transportation facilities, and promises to attain the i'm 0ortance of the range cattle business of the West of a few years ago. Farming opportuni- ties are exploited by the govern ment railroad to attract settlers to it's zone of operation.
 Extension of agriculture will result in the production not on- ly of enough cereals and veget- ables for domestic consumption, but also of a surplus for export. Over an area of at least 100000 7QUare miles in Alaska, cOndi- tions are naturally better for agriculture than in Finland, which lies in a higher altitude than Nome, supports a popula- tionp of 3,O00,0OO from 10000 square miles of tillable and graz ing soil, and ships grain and meat to other parts of the world.
 Alaska's coal deposits, now worked on only a limited scale because of the small home mar ket, can be expanded to meet any requirements. Fish, furs, and precious metals, the princip- al yields of the North, have not caused any increase in popula- tion in the last few decades. Re- sources coming into development call for more inhabitants and will necessitate their permanent residence. Census figures hence will show large gains.-Seattle Times.

WE FAVOR SALE OF PUBLIC
 UTILITIES

We have consistently and per 5istently opposed sale of the pub lie utilities owned by the city With this issue we reverse our position.
 We favor the sale of the util- ities to the Foshay Company or any other company CT corpora ,ion or private parties who may wish to benefit from the labors of those who scrinped and saw Ed and sacrificed in order that Me utilities might be installed.
 We will support sale of the hTdro-electric, water works and any other publicly owned utility that the city may desire to sell Provided, that along with the public utilities are sold the Bank Of Petersburg, Trading Union. Sons of Norway Hall, American Legion Building, and any or all of the private businesses in the town.
 If we are going to sell utilities that are proven money makers, then sell the rest.
 On that score The ALASKAN favors sale of it's utilities.

DEPRECIATION FUNDS

We are now confronted with the fact that the law requires every power project to set aside a depreciation fund. Which, in solar as this paper is concern ed or able to find out, has not been done.

ARREST GAMBLERS
AT ST. JAMES FAIR

A fellow who calls himself Tommy
Reed, and who operated one of the
concessions at the Watonwan County
Fair at st. James last week, was ar
rested by Sheriff J. c. Bermel, We'd
nesday, upon a complaint signed by
County Attorney John V. Bumby,
charging the man with operating a
gambling device on the fair grounds.
Carl lesson, who conducts store
in South Branch township, had COM
planned that he had lost large sum
of money while trying to beat Tommy
at his (Tommy's) own game. Carl
was a good sport it seemed, while he
was being baited and winning little
money, but when the tables turned
and he was shaken down for nice
piece of change, he made ''holler."
Now, it happens that, under the
law, a person who plays gambling
device is as guilty as the fellow who
operates it. Consequently Carl, the
merchant, was also placed under
arrest, and the two gents were ar
ranged before Justice c. M. Serkland
at st. James.
Reed waived preliminary examina-
ton and, on his application to plead
guilty to the offense charged, was
taken to Mankato Thursday morning.
He pleaded guilty and was sentenced
to pay fine of $4,000 or spend four
months in Jail. He paid the fine and
was discharged.
Mr.. lessons case was set for hear
ing before Justice Serkland at st.
James at o'clock next Monday af-
ternoon.
County Attorney Bumby stated
that in the prosecution of the Jes-
SON case he and the sheriff had the
hearty support and cooperation of
the county fair board, says the Made
liza Times Messenger.

NEW ULM MAN IN
CESSPOOL CAvEIN

With the earth giving away from
near the surface of a cesspool which
he was digging at the new residence
of Hubert lander at New Ulm,
Charles Hauser of New Ulm was
near death when rescued from his
precarious position by a group of fell
lowmen.
Mr.. Hauser had constructed a
wooden box to support the surround
ing wall, but was digging some six
feet below the protecting casing when
the cavein occurred. Ground rapidly
filled the cesspool hole, covering Mr..
Hauser's body up to the armpits.
Calling for help, Mr.. Hauser's cries
were auditable for nearly two blocks
and were heard by John Zangel, Viii
liam Wieland and Edward Koop, car
-penters at work on Mr.. Zander's new
private garage, at the rear of his
residence.
At the risk of himself being caught
in another cavein, which theatened to
occur at any moment, Mr.. Zanzel al
lowed himself to be lowered by the
other rescurers, and tied a rope
around Mr.. Hauser's body, under
meath the arms. An attempt to pull
the man out by means of the wind
lass proved futile, and the men had
to work carefully, lest more gravel
and sand would become dislodged and
cover the man completely.
The men then set to work construc-
ting new wooden box to fit into the
cesspool, realized that this was the
only one hope of rescuing Mr.. Haus-
er. 1t required more than an hour Of
strenuous labor before the digger was
extricated and, aside from severe
pain in his legs, Mr.. Hauser suffered
no i'll effects after his hazardous ex.
perience.
