WRECK OF HESPERUS"
is NOW AT COLISEUM

Delightful in every respect, THE
Wreck of the Hesperus,' a De
Mile feature picture featuring
Virginia Bradford, Frank Marion,
Alan Hale and Sam De Grasse,
was accorded cordial welcome on
its premier presentation at the
Coliseum Theatre yesterday. This
screen version Of Longfellow's
famous poem is in every respect a
tremendous production, and if it
were possible for a motion picture
to have SOUL this certainly would
have one. From start to finish,
the action Is swift and the inter
est is sustained to the final scene.
The scenes of the shipwreck are
among the most realistic cinema
spectacles that have ever been
shown on a local screen The
story is intensely dramatic and
the appeal awakened by the sim
pie love scenes between the hero.

tinct' as it is deep. 81

ROAMING ELkS
ARE REPORTED
NEAR TENAkEE
Band W and ering from
Kruzof Island Are Re
ported Still on the Go

Some of the elk planted on Kruz-
of Island in 1927 have wandered
far afield and are now in the vi
entity OF Tenakee, it was Indicated
by reports just received by II. w.
.Terhune, Executive Officer OF the
Alaska Game Commission. Tracks
of the animals were recently seen
by U. S. Deputy Marshal Sullivan
about one and one-half miles from
the town of Tenakee.
The Commission believes that
these are the animals which left
Kruzof Island last summer and
were later seen by Forest Service
men near Fish Bay on Baranof Is
Hand In order to have reached
.Tenakee they must have travelled
between so and rs miles. They
are apparently seeking ranges
more to their liking, and the Com
mission is entirely willing for them
ito do their own rangerpicking. but
would like to hear from anyone
who sees them from time to time.
All elk in the Territory as well
as certain other species of animals
included in the game stocking pro-
gram, are protected throughout the
year under the Alaska Game Law.
In addition they are given pro-
lection under q Territorial statute
passed by the local legislature in
l925 which provides that any at
tempt to take or kill the animals
is punishable by fine not exceed
ing $500 or Imprisonment Of not
more than six months.

for contract tax collections.
Recently q member of tn, Texas

$4,000 by his county o a group Of
individuals for collecting 100000
delinquent taxes. This contract
