 At this time neither the peo- pie of Alaska nor their legisla- ture has any jurisdiction over the fisheries of Alaska except the power of levying an addi- tional tax upon the output therecf. But in the bill now be- fore the House it is proposed to take away from the people of Alaska that right. So if this bill passed as it is now drawn and pc-ted favorably to this House, it wi take away from the people of Alaska and from the Legis- latr-e every shred of jurisdic- tion ever these fisheries. We will not te able to protect them. We will not be able to prevent them from being utterly destroyed. And want to impress upon the House that it is within your jur- isdic.ion, and your jurisdiction only, to protect the fisheries of Alac,-a from monopoly and de- str; ction.'
The Alaska fisherman., 1930-04-15

One of the great and success full battles that Delegate Judge Wickersham fought for Alaska was on the afternoon of Decem- Der 13, 1916. It was the occasion for the consideration de- feat-in the House of Represent atives at Washington, of the fisheries bill sponsored by chair man Alexander of the Commit tee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries.
 Nearly an entire session was devoted to the argument and consideration of amendments offered in committee of the whole. It was the last chance the bill had for passage during that session of Congress, and De- legate Wickersham, with all his ingenuity and ceaseless energy, kept the subject alive until in despair MT. Alexander made the following statement:
 ''It is now about 5 o'clock. It is evident that the consideration of this bill cannot be finished to- day, and, of course, if it cannot be finished today, the chances are that it cannot passthe House during this session of Congress. Under the circumstance have no disposition to prolong the session, although I regard this legislation as of the utmost inn portance, and its merits have been totally misrepresented on the floor. I move that the com mittee do now rise"
 And the motion was agreed to. This ended long and bitter struggle, as Delegate declared on the floor of the House, There is an effort on the part of three great corporations to get mon opoly and control of these fish, cries. They have had their lob- byists here for the past six years to secure passage of. this bill. Thew are anxious to secure it's

The prohibition in the bill that would have taken from the Ter 1itory the only privilege that then existed, is contained in Sec tion p as follows:
 'That from and after the pass age of this act the Territory of Alaska shall not pass any law that has the effect of repeating, altering, or amending this act, nor shall the Territory of Alas ka impose any license fees or taxes upon the business herein before referred to, nor upon the output thereof, nor upon any property, real or personal, used in said business in said Territory, and any such existing statutes heretofore enacted by the Terri tory of Alaska are hereby ex- pressly disapproved."
 The Alexander bill did provide for a graded tax on canned sal mon of 6, 5 and 4 cents per case. There was a further provision that the license fees and taxes should go one-third to the Na- tional Treasury, and two-thirds to the Territory of Alaska. Had the bill passed, the revenue to the Territory would have been greatly reduced from what it was then receiving, and much

THE battle Of man with the powers
of nature Is the theme Of the
motion picture, white Hell Of Pitz

Alps and Is now being shown ct the
Rialto Theater simultaneously with its
American premiere at the Roxy Thea

I was the first to make with skis,

than 200 human lives year. Perhaps
you also know how carelessly many
people undertake difficult mountain
tours and thereby make possible the
terrible accidents that occur. An i'm

fog to save those who have met with
accident.
Every moment of my picture Is
taken from actual events. It reaches
its climax in the rescue of three
human beings who. after three terri

Alps, are discovered by an aviator and

"ToURNEY's END" when it was or
- iginally undertaken, was not even
intended for the professional stage.
At the time that r. G. Sheriff wrote
the play he was working for an Eng
lish insurance firm as inspector OF
buildings for which fire policies were
desired In his spare time he played
three-quarter back with the Rosslyn
foot ball club, and was in the shell
Of the Kingston Rowing Club, Of which
he was former captain. Besides this.
he was well known in Surrey amateur
theatrical circles.
When the Kingston club wanted to
put on a play Mr.. Sheriff conceived
the idea that. simply by putting down
various incidents and the reaction of
the war life with which all the mem
beers were familiar, he could create a
vehicle that would be eminently suited
to their needs. He set to work on

Audience Reaction.

Of those mother-love crushers and is
soon to be an attraction at Warmers
Metropolitan. With Belle Bennett, ia
nous for her mother roles, and seven
small children to help her make the
heart ache and the tears now; with a
supporting cast Of adopts to their I'm
ger tips In that line Of business, and
even with Marion Nixon, as the eldest
daughter, to help matters along-what
has happened? Just this:
Leon Janney, 13-year-old youngster
born in Ogden, Utah, as late as April
/. 1915, actually leaps in and steals
the picture. The Warner Bros. public
ity representative writes that young
Janney actually became "the sensation
Of New York City"-and Warner Bros.
Immediately signed him to a long-terIn
contract on account of his performance.
So you see you never can tell how
good q tallkie Is until the audience has
registered its verdict. and not until
then can you tell who or what really
makes the talkie the Outstanding film
of all time"

Miss Corio needs no introduction to
Washington burlesque fans, as they are

The entire cast of Girls in Blue" are
veterans in experience, but young in
years, so a fast-moving, fun-and-frolic
