BAY DISTRICT IS
 CLOSED TO SALMON FISHING

Commissioner Henry o'Malley. head of the U. S. Bureau of Fisher ies. has closed all fishing for the season in the Bristol Bay district.
 The salmon run in that district is light and the packers will not be able to put up a normal pack as less than 10000 cases will be put up, this being the lowest since 1925. In 1919. 100000 cases were mar keted from that district and 1.300,- 900 cases in 1928. The Bristol Bay pack is practically all red salmon. It is understood that packers there anticipated a light pack as the sea son opened late.
 The closing of the Bristol Bay district does not affect Southeastern Alaska where the pack is normal. It is believed that the light Bristol Bay pack will tend to increase the market price of packed salmon sui ficiently to make up the difference in the size of the pack.

Store Burglarized

The confectionery store of Tom Case was burglarized while Mr. Case was away at dinner last Sun day. The outstanding feature in connection with this burglary was not the amount of loot obtained but the boldness with which the crime was committed.
 While MT. Case was at dinner in the same block in which his store is located some person broke in the back door of the store. In order to get the door open the inside door facing which was securely nailed with seven large nails was broken away. This required great force and must have caused considerable noise. The cash register was robbed but the burglar did not empty it entirely. Although no arrest has been made yet it is not unlikely that the burglar will 2, be appre- hended.

TARKINGT0N-CARRILL0 IS
 GREAT COMBINATION AT
 COLISEUM SUN. AND MON.

What a treat is the combination of Booth Harrington, dramatist, and Leo Carrillo, actor extraordinary This is found in Mister Antonio, {" the Tiffany-Stahli all-talking pie ture in which Virginia valli CO., stars with Carriho. It will show at the Coliseum Theatre Sunday and Monday, and it is a real delight.
 Mister Antonio" is one of those whimsical, charming things that get under your skin and send you home in a glow of contentment Tony is a hyphenated American who boasts of six names-Antonio Rafa- ello Garibaldi Mussolini Camardino, the Mussolini added by himself! Tn winter he is New York business man, but in the spring he turns vag- abond and travels where whimsy leads with his donkey drawn hurdy gurdy and a half-wit boy whose chief joy is to shoot Tony with his cap pistols.
 Every portrait is perfect and Ca- rillo is, of course, superb. His lines are funny in themselves and his dia- lect makes them more delightful. Miss Valli is beautiful and lovable. Gareth Hughes and Frank Reicher give entertaining performances. The direction of James Flood and Reicher is flawless. Don't fail to make the acquaintance of Mister Antonio"
