Very little changes, if any, are contemplated in the prices of admission.
 At a special meeting of the Council, called for the purpose last night, arrangements were made for certain innovations in street lighting in the vicinity of the Coliseum to include string of lights from the theatre to the corner near Wheeler Drug Store. One lighting feature which is being much talked of in Peters burg this week and which is arousing great deal of curios- ity, is the Neon gas tube light, thirty feet long to be placed ov- CT the roof of the building. This consists of tubing filled with Ne on gas thru which runs electric current at very high voltage. This produces a high frequency light radiation which has the peculiar property of penetrating fog and mist, casting ruddy glow on the sky and may be seen for many miles. The creation of this beacon coincides nicely with our city's plan for the contsruc- ton of an airport here early in the spring.
 MT. Cawthon has leased the building for a term of years and expects to bring his family here about the 1st of March.
 l No definite announcement is made as yet of the date for the grand opening but it is expect ed that the wiring and installa- tion of equipment will be com Ipleted near the end of next week.

Gentlenen:

Gentlemen:
 I hereby present the story briefly of the Clubs activities during 1929 in the order in which the different events were noted by the Club Secretary on the minute book:
 The year started out with the usual protest against a fisheries Regulation" herring regulation No. 5. Tn this we had the sup port of neighboring clubs and was successful in having the regulation modified.
 The Club in persuance of it's policy, declined to endorse the subscription of stock in a pro- posed Alaska Air Service.
 Protested the attempt of the Ketchikan Club to have a duty imposed on American caught fish sold in Canada.

Sutherland, Delegate to Con- gress from the Territory Of Alas ka, brought down the national House of Representatives in a lengthy speech in which he de- nanded relief from the burden of bureaucracy and monopoly which has been foisted onto the Territory of Alaska since 1924 by the Bureau of Fisheries under the guise of conservation" of the territory's food fish resourc- eS.

Packers Form New Association

The Northwest Salmon Can ners Association was formed by about twenty-five independent Alaska and Puget Sound Packers The total of their packs is ap- proximated at 1,500,OOo with a value of $9,O0O,0O0. I
 Other members are expected with an annual pack of 500,00O cases. This will represent an as- sociation of interests which con- trol one-third of the pack of salmon.
 A. w. Wittig of the Shephard Point Packing Company of Se- attle is president of the new as- sociation. He declared that the purpose of the association was to foster closer cooperation in pro- duction and correct certain trade abuses in marketing and that plans of the association do not mean departure from past 1nethods of selling, individual packers continuing to handle their packs through regular channels"
 J. o. Morris of the. Fisher mems Packing Corporation at Everett is vice-president of the organization, while A. P. Wolf of the Hood Bay Canning Co.,, Seattle, is secretary treasurer.

Territory Produced
 $7o,O00.OOO, 1929

Alaska commodities including gold and silver, but not includ- ing certain fur shipments dur ing 1929, aggregated $67,5OO,OOO according to unofficial estimates based on month to month cus- tom reports. This in addition to mail shipments of furs and the Pribilof Islands seal take should bring the total for the year to about $7O,0OO,O00. This figure has been exceeded four times in the history of the territory 1917, 1918, 1926 and 1928. The average for the past ten years is approximately $56,oO0,oOO, the high mark being set in 1917 which ran to about seventy-six alAd a half millions.
 The products of the fisheries ranked first with commodities at about $46, ,500,OO0 or $6,5O0,OO0 less han in 1928. the loss being duess primarily, to the shrinkage in tnesalmon pack. This drop ped xfrom $45, ,548,683 in 1928 to sss, ,Doooo last year.
 There were 14,O00,0O0 pounds Of halibut shipped during the year valued at about $1,9OO,00O. The increase in quantity from 1928 was about 100000 pounds and in value about $225,OOO.
 Cured herring dropped from s1,674.244 to about $940,OO0.
 Fish meal jumped to 11,90O tons. worth $825,OOo. This is an increase of 5000 tons over 1928.
 The production of fish oil in creased to 84O,OOO gallons, worth approximately $1,380,000.
 The estimated total for all minerals for the year was $16,- 1000, details of which have previously been published.
 The final figures on the ex- portation of furs will not be available for some time. but it is expected that a decline will be shown, partly accounted for by the, fact that beaver were pro- tected. the exportation of that particular fur dropping from s759, 1922 to about $25,OOO.
 Reindeer meat increased from S42,5OO to $14o,OOO. One item in the list which may be surprise to some was 5000 pounds of wool, valued at $47,000.

Coliseum to Open Shortly With
 Modern Sound Equipment

Hal E.. @Cawthon, manager of the new Coliseum, formerly the Variety Theatre, arrived in Pe- tersburg this week and is busy with a crew of mechanics and workmen, making alterations cn the building and installing equipment. Mir CaWthon stated to a representative ofsThe Alas kan that he is installing the ''last word" in sound equipment, taking Vitaphone, Movietone and R. c. A. Photophone recordings, including comedies, news reels, and singing and talking features
 He reports that he is very agreeably surprised to find a building so suitable for the re-, production of sound pictures and will guarantee the people of Petersburg as good sound repro duction as can be heard in any theatre in the country. It is planned to run either three or four changes per week of all- sound programs.
 Only very sligh changes in the plans and arrangements of the building were found to be neces- sary with the exception of light ing arrangements, tho a great deal of new wiring is necessary as the whole building becomes practically a big radio.
 A new feature in show service for Petersburg is to be inauger- ated in that late corners will see a complete performance after nine o'clock. This is made pos sible. by running the news reels and hllers both before and afte, the featare.
