Lois Moran Stars in Ro. mantle Drama of
 Flaming Youth

"The Dancers" Fox Movitone drama of youth who dance too near the flame of life, will begin show ing tonight at the Coliseum the ater. Lois Moran, the star, DOT trays a high-spirited girl who takes life and its conven t ions lightly until she realizes she has lost the right to the man she loves.
 Phillips Holmes, in the role of her childhood sweetheart, sails away from their homeland of Eng land to seek his fortune in the timber lands of Canada. He car ries with him as his dearest pos session photograph of Lois on which she has written her pledge of eternal faithfulness.
 Dance Hall Entertainer
 Mae Clarke, as dance hall en- tertainer in Canada, meets and falls in love with Phillips. She tempts him. tries his. love for Lois, but finds that he. is true to his VOW to her. In the mean time back in England, Lois be- gins a gay life of pleasure and dancing in night clubs with a young sophisticate of her pleas ure-crazed set, portrayed by Wal ter Byron This leads, inevitably, to breaking her VOW with Phillips, who returns with the expectancy Of marrying her shortly after she had fallen for Byrons honeyed words
 Into this dramatic situation, and its surprising solution, Director Chandler Sprague has injected all his wisdom and understanding of modern youth to make of "The Dancers" an enteresting photoplay.
 Adapted From Stage Play
 "The Dancers was adapted to the audible screen by Edmund Burke from the highly successful stage play of the same name by Sir Gerald Du Maurier and Viola Tree in which Richard Bennett toured the country for three sea- sons.
 Mrs. Patrick Campbell, eminent star of the English stage, makes her audible screen debut in this picture which also has Tyrell Davis, likewise of English stage fame, in the distinguished supporting cast

NEW CORDOvA BUILDING
 10 BE STARTED SOON

Announcement was made by
 Charles J. Goodall in Cordova that
 work would start soon on a two-
 story and basement apartment
 and store building on First Street
 on the side of the old Borden Building, for William Urquhart, says the Cordova Times.
 The new building, MT. Goodall said, would be of frame construc- tion, 25 by 100 feet, strictly mo- dern in every detail with store on the first floor above the street and four or five apartments on the second floor. Arrangements for the occupancy of the basement have not been completed as yet.
 In connection with the building announcement MT. Goodall, who recently returned from the west ward, declared that conditions in Cordova were more satisfactory than in any other Alaskan town he had visited. Seward and An- chorage are optimistic he said, and will work hard for their own development. They feel that the increase in the railroad rates will tend to create further deficit rather than lower the loss but they are not going to permit them selves to be discouraged through this.

BEAUTIFY OUR TOWNS

Uginess seems to be indigenous to frontier towns. Invariably they pass through period when there ap pears be deliberate determination to every tge of natural beauty that lies in their settings Is town established beautiful and slightly point of ground? Immediately set to work hacking down the trees uprooting the shrubs clearing" the land, until every stick of timber remains but jagged stump every shrub ragged hole in the ground, and the area turned into a scared and barren slope.
 Just why townsite should be shorn of it's natural beauty is something to be able to explain Utility of course is the keynote in the construction of all new settlements but what utility is served in whack ing away from dwelling stes the trees that protect and adorn them? Where is the economy?
 For sooner have the rigors of pioneering eased up than the necessity of having beauty sends the settler to putting out trees and srubs usually import ed from elsewhere in effort to bring back the gar den which Nature had already prodgaly prepared. Alaska is land of abounding beauty. Its forested sOpes inset with rollickng streams and jewel lakes and fronted by towering, whitecrested mountain peaks, are areas of moving splendor Why should the only bots these magnificent landscapes be the scared slopes where men have built their towns? Thoughtless haste and reckless extravaganza!
 There is no reason why all Alaskan towns should not be as picturesque and beautiful the villages of New England, the little towns in the Southland Sur rounded by forests and luxuriant undergrowth they should be rich in greenery Their streets should be bor dered with trees their yards coorful with shrubs and flowers.
 Of exceptional interest to Alaskans are the weekly letters from Delegate Wickersham's Washington D. C., office pertinent to Alaskan affairs. From com ments made to The Gateway, the items are eagerly awaited and read from top to bottom The service is ap precated.
 
 The trouble with the general public is not that it does not learn the lesson of experence-t has done since September 1929but that in three four years it forgets it completely it forgot 1929 the lesson of 1920, and in 1907 the lesson of 1893

RUMORS OF RAISE IN ORE PRICES
INDICATED FALSE BY SALES
AGENTS-LAST YEARS PRICES
TO PREVAIL.

AdviceS from several sales agents are
to the effect that they have sold ore
at last seasons prices on the basis of
$3.50 per gross ton for Mesaba nom
Bessemer ore. There was some gossip
in recent weeks that there might be
an increase, but this was denied in
later reports from Cleveland during
the last few days. In the spring of 1929
there was an advance of 25 cents a
ton, with no change in prices last
year.
Again, as in former years, first in
quiries by the Ford Motor company
are understood to have set the ore
prices for 1881. 1t was thought at
first that the market would be estab-
ished somewhat later this year, but
the inquiry of the Ford company last
week for 100000 tons gave impetus to
the market.
The prices for the various grades of
Lake Superior ores at Lake Erie ports
have been set as follows: Old range
Bessemer, with 51.5O per cent iron in
the natural state, $3.50 per ton; Mes
aba BeSsemer, S4.65; old range nom
Bessemer, s4.65; Mesaba range nom
Bessemer, $3.50, and high PHOSPHORUS
s4.40. All prices are on the basis of
gross ton.
The inquiry of the Ford company
was mainly for basic and high phos-
phorous ores, with some silicious and
manganiferOuS ore included. The or
der, according to reports, was divided
among several producers. This in
quiry has been the first in the market
almost every year since the World war,
and has generally led to the establish
ment of prices for the season.
The 25-cent increase in 1929 was
the first since 1925, the market having
taken two drops totaling s1.30 ton
in 1923 and 1924

ARMsON QUESTIONS
.LOMMEN' TAX BILL
COMMISSIONER ARMSON HITS
BACK AT SENATOR LOMNIEN ON
HIS IRON ORE TAX STATEMENT
MADE WHILE ADVOCATING HIS
APPEAL BILL.

j. G. ArmSon, chairman of the Min
nesota tax commission, Saturday struck
back at a statement attributed to
Senator Lommen of this district, that
large tonnages of iron ore have es-
capped taxation in the state.
Senator Lommen was credited with
this statement in connection with his
effort to pass, a bill of which he is
author, permitting municipalities to
appear to district courts from decisions
of the state tax commission.
Governor Olson in a special mes
sage to the legislature recommended
passage of this bill which has the ap-
pointed member of the tax commits
sion. Commissioner Armson is opposed
TO the bill.
The statement credited to Mr. Lom-
men, that large tonnages of iron ore
have escaped taxation for number
of years past is absolutely misleading
and is undoubtedly made for the pur-
pose of deceiving the public" Com
missioner Arnlson said.
1T is a distortion of facts, not
based on truth, and is made for the
purpose of discrediting the tax COM
mission. To the unprecedented person.
familiar with the mineral situation
and the methods used by the commits
sion in determining tonnages and tax
able values of iron ores, the statement
will be regarded as ridiculous and the
charge of tax commission wholly I'M
founded
Iron ore, nor for that matter any
other natural resource, has no taxable
value until discovered. 1t is a new
theory that the unknown is taxable
Until land is drilled or otherwise ex-
plored the existence of iron ore is un-
known and how taxable value may
be ascribed to the unknown is a prob
lem that even the fertile and fanciful
brain of Mr.. Lommen could not solve
Mining companies are required to
file annual reports with the tax COM
mission, showing new drillings or other
exploratory work, accompanied by blue
prints showing the location of drill
holes and the grade of ore, if any, at
each fve-foot level of the drill hole
They are also required to file cross
sections showing development work in
active mines.
This data is turned over to the
school of mines at the State university
for examination and report. The
school of mines, which has been the
mining engineer for the tax commits
sion for more than twenty years past,
then estimates the tonnage and grades
Of ore in each deposit and reports the
same to the commission from which
report and other data the commission
determines the taxable value of the
deposit"
