Opening ! OF
Fox Theater

To. the Editor of the Nogales
international:
The new Fox Nogales Theater
opened on Christmas Day exactly
on schedule. It was a big task
we set ourselves and it was not
accomplished without numerous
difficulties which were overcome
by the generous cooperation we
have enjoyed from all who as
sisted us during the great under
taking.
Every one concerned did his
part with cheerfulness, and with
an interest in our progress, which
= we cannot soon forget. The con-
tractors and subcontractors, car
penters, plumbers, painters, elec-
tricianS, carpet and drapery men
each and all did all that could
be expected to hasten the work
that Nogales might be presented
with new and beautiful theater
on Christmas Day.
It was necessary that the pub
lie be kept informed of our pro-
gress; this could only be done
by the newspapers of Nogales and
Santa Cruz county which have
rendered invaluable aid to us in
this regard. We therefore take
this opportunity to express our
gratitude and appreciation to the
INTERNATIONAL for
the part it has done to acquaipt
southern Arizona with the fact
that on Christmas Day the Fox
Nogales theater opened as one
of the chain of the great Fox
We feel assured that our Sic
'ess will be shared by all In
erestS of Nogales, and we are
lad to present to this city the
anne fine entertainment enjoyed
y the people of the largest ciUies
+ the world.

One little Nogales girl will here
after think of Santa Claus when
ever she spies the uniform of a no.

startled and frightened at the sight
OF Chief of Police Lowe standing be-
fore her and was about to flee. but
was Immediately treasured when the
Chief disposed upon the floor the
Elks' Christmas box containing food
and many assortments of goodies

CAME COMMISSION ASKS F0R SMALLER
 WILD FOWL BAGS

A reduction in the maximum possession of all species of ducks, geese and brant from tile present 75 to fifty birds has been recommended to the secretary of agriculture by the Alaska Game Commission, ac- 'c6rding to reports from Jun- eau. The reduction was asked in the interest of conservation. of migratory wild fowl and is in line with conservation poli- cies now being followed thru out the country.
 Commission representatives said such a reduction is advis- able in view of a reduction in the supply of birds observed on, interior breeding grounds. A 2. adual decrease of birds over. ,s, period of several years has been observed along the lower Yukon, the Yukon delta and in the Kuskokwim and other nest ing areas. The decrease is not due to over-hunting but is at tributed mainly to predatory. animals and birds, Maruding coyotes, which raid the nests, taking eggs and young have virtually destroyed some of the best breeding grounds in the upper Yukon, Panama, Delta aad White River areas, while iaegars, gulls and other preda- rory birds have done immense damage to wild fowla in the lower river districts:

EARLY COLD SPELL
 VISITS DISTRICT

f ,e '. s. |. s.
 One of the most severe early cold spells of years visited the camp throughout the past week and caused many of the old-timers to recall their sub- zero experiences in early days in the North.
 Although in most eases the thermometers registered above the zero mark, the cold was ac- companied by a biting wind which forced hasty donning of warmer clothing and .entailed unexpected inroads intG the communal coal piles. In evi- dence of the unusual severity of the cold may be cited the complete freezing over of the small creek running through town, and to such B depth as to form a much appreciated skating rink for, the ubiquitous small boy. A similar condition has not been observed during a long period of years, aecord-, ing to some of-the old-time res idants.
 In addition to. disrnpting water supply systems, the cold also caused a breakdown of the electric light system in Hyder and Stewart. The hydro electric plant on Silverado Gulch was put out of commiss- ion early in the week. Later the engine driven plant at the Dunwen mine was also rem dered ineffective save for short periods in the evening. This is said to have been due to. the freezing-up of the plants water cooling system. The dis ruption of the light service in turn caused a general suspens- ion of of activities on the part of radios, motor driven water pumps and other electrically operated appliances, includ- ing the oil heating plant of the Hyder Drug Go. Both the Her and and the Stewart News were unable to issue on the, customary days owing to the lack of current for their lino-' type machines, while the cold and absence of lights virtually suspended activities in the Herald job printing plant throughout the week.

 John Peterson, one o f the very earliest of the old-timers of the North, was found dead recently in his mine shaft on 40 Eldorado, at the mouth of Chief Gulch, where he had mined since 1896. He had ap- parently been dead for four or five days when found. Indicat- ions pointed to his having been at work when overtaken by heart failure or gas. The posit- ion of the body indicated that he was about to go up to empty the buckets when overcome.
