Agitation has been started by tennis fans for lighted tennis courts which can be used in the evening. Two reasons have been advanced for this-the lack of a sufficient number of courts for daytime play and the ideal coolness which makes night tennis splendid sport. Off, cials are silent.

"Kept Husbands" now at the Lyric theater, offers the modern solution to a problem that faces. a large number of married couples who are drifting apart. :,
 And 1t illustrates in a simple practical way, how a rich woman and a poor man can compromise the difference in social positions and weld their lives into welded happiness.

Premier Shares Show Gains

A new upward movement in the price of Premier Gold Min ing Company shares in recent days is attributed by Van couver journals to reports of promising ore finds on the company's Tough Oaks prop erty in Northern Ontario, which promises to become a valuable mine.
 The price of Premier shares has advanced from around 75 cents last month to upward of 90 cents at present and ap- pears likely to advance even higher. Steady accumulation of shares in New York and Eastern Canada is reported.

WORLD MUST FIND
 NEW COST LEVELS

Expressing the view that new levels of costs must be found before economic condition will adjust themselves, Sir Josiah Stamp, famous British econo- mist, does not believe that any immediate ecomom- ic improvement is yet in sight.
 Sir Josiah arrived in New York the other day on a mis- sion to Ottawa and voiced the opinion that everyone is look ing to this side of the Atlantic to lead the way back to bet ter times. The underlying causes of the depression are. the same here as abroad, he said.
 The basis causes of the de- pression, he said, are enor- mously complicated, but gen. erally speaking, the chief trouble Is the fact that the money situation is "out of gear with production and con- sumption. New levels of costs must be found, he said.
 Sir Josiah said he does not think any immediate economic improvement is yet in sight. Probably by the end of this year, he said, there will be a beginning of the upturn in trade. Britain is hoping for a gradual increase in foreign market business to prepare the way for an improvement in home industry, he said

Railroad Money Split

The impression prevails that the appropriation passed by Congress for the Alaska Rail road was cut from $1, 100000 to $500,000. As a matter of fact the act making appropri- ations for the Department of the Interior for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1882, and which was approved Feb. IA. 1881, carries an item of $1,- 000,000 for the Railroad, the same aggregate sum that was contained in the act passed a year ago, according to a Wash ington, D. c. report. But there is the difference that in the re- cent act there is the provision "that not to exceed $250,000 of ths fund shall be available for continuation of the investiga- tion of mineral and other re- sources of Alaska to ascertain the potential resouces available which will affect railroad ton- mage" There is the further diff ference that year ago $200,- 900 of the fund was made available for capital eXpen- ditures," while this year the amount named for that pur- pose is $250,000.

Says Highway Be Built
 Within Few Years

The Alaska Yukon Highway will be an accomplished fact within a few years, Premier Tolmie predicted to the Leg islature after A. c. Kergan, of Atlin, E. c. wanted to know what progress had been made with proposals and if the route would connect up the north country through the Stewart country. according to Victoria press reports.
 Premier T'olmie replied that negotiations for an investiga- tion as to the feasibility of the road will be carried forward this summer, when the Inter- national body will go over the ground.
 The Premier said this com mittee will have representa- tives from the United States, Ottawa, Yukon Territory and British Columbia.
 Private offers have been re- ceived by the Province for the constructing of some sections Of the road in return for con- sessions to recover the cost of construction. The offers, the Premier said, could not be entertained at this stage.
 Premier Tolmie declared the Alaska Route was feasible be. yond all doubt.

New Radio System for Alaska

Three main radio telegraph stations, at Seattle, Ketchikan and Anchorage, will soon com prise the U. s. Signal Corps communication system be- tween Alaska and Seattle, ac- cording to a recent issue of Seattle's Business. The Seattle transmitting station, located at Pigeon Point in West Seattle, is partially completed and is being fitted with transmitters of varying power, one to trans init messages to Ketchikan, another to Anchorage and one for communication with San Francisco. Messages from Alaska will be received at Fort LaWton, where a receiv- ing station with modern equip ment is being installed. Both receiving and transmitting sta tions will be operated by re- mote control from the Signal Corps offices in Seattle. The new system is expected to be completed by July 1.

PROPOSES
 DOUBLE POLL TAX

!, Creation of a special indi- gent relief fund to finance the constantly increasing cost of Territorial pensions and indi- gency relief is proposed in a bill introduced in the Alaska legislature by Representative Foster.
 The measure provides for a tax of $5 per year, correspond ing to the present school tax law and applicable to the same persons, according to Ju- neau reports. Passage of the bill would, therefore, double the amount now paid by those subject to school poll tax.
 Other measures of general interest introduced since the Herald's last report include the following:
 By Sundquist, to have a general primary election re- place the party primary syst em now in effect. The bill pro- Vides for placing names and party designation of all candi- dates on ballots, the two re- ceiving the highest votes to be declared the nominees, regard less of party utilization. Also provides that any candi- date re c e i V Il g 60 per cent or more of total vote cast for the office sought, shall be the only one to get his name on the official general election ballot. This does not prevent writing in of other names by voters.
 By Sundquist, providing for special primary election of party officers, including na- tional committeeman and na- tional convention delegates.
 By Ziegler, empowering may ors of first class cities to ap- point city clerk and magis- trat treasurers, police chief and other municipal employ ees, with the advice and con- sent of city councils. Also for removal of such employees for cause.
 By Lomen, providing for com- mon law marriages where parties concerned reside more than 50 miles from the nearest U. s. Commissioner. Such mar riages are required to be wit messed by two persons, and contracting parties are re- quired to sign and forward to the nearest commissioner a statement acknowledging the marriage.
 By Donnelly, authorizing the Attorney General to investi- gate the possibilities and pre- pare a Territorial income tax law for the 1883 legislature.
 By Burgh, making the unlaw- full issuance of checks and drafts a larceny.

Alaska Commerce Reaches
 Record Low Mark-March

Outgoing Alaska commerce in March reached record low figures with a total of only $678,230. Of the indicated total $134,759 represented the value of products of the United States returned, leav- ing the actual value of Alas ka commodities exported at 3543,471.
 So far as available records show, this was the lowest fig, ure reached by Alaska exports in any month since before the klondyke gold rush days and reflects the effect of the cur rent depression on Territorial production. March exports last year totaled $2,047,035, exclusive of gold and silver.
 Following is the complete list of exports, as shown in the monthly statement of Customs Collector J. c. Mcbride.
