 UNDER ROASTING AND OvER-ROASTING .s-ss' PMvtNItU
Controlled Roasting, Hills Bros Patented Process, , Roasts Coffee to Uni-
 form Goodness

Just as the flavor of foods can be spoiled by under-c cooking or over- cooking, so the flavor of coffee can be spoiled by under-roasting or oyer-roasting. Realizing this, Hills Bros. invented and patented a marvellous process. It insures per- feet roasting all the time! It is called Controlled Roasting.
 As the accuracy of the hour-glass depends upon an even, continuous flow al. a little at a time .. SO the uniform flavor of Hills Bros. Coffee is produced by Controlled Roasting -- the patented process that roasts evenly, continuously ... Little at q time. Automatic control of heat insures an even, perfect roast for every berry. Naturally, the result ing flavor is uniformly delicious.
 Ordinary coffees are roasted in bulk = several hundred pounds at a time. Therein lies the cause of a faulty roast. For it is impossible to always roast each big batch to the same degree.
 Hills Bros. Coffee is packed in vacuum cans. Air, which destroys the flavor of coffee, is removed and kept out of these cans. Ordinary, "air-tight" cans won't keep coffee fresh. But Hills Bros. Coffee is always fresh! Order some today. Ask for it by name, and look for the Arab trademark on the can.

OPERA TO
 | MAKE WAY FOR STRONG DRAMA
Bride of Regiment to Be Followed by For De-
 fense' at Coliseum

With "The Bride of the Regi- ment" showing for the last times tonight at the Coliseum theatre, For the Defense" will be the fea- ture photoplay tomorrow night.
 In The Bride of the Regiment spectacular all-technicolor light opera with excellent comedy Louise Fazenda turns songster. She sings nothing but comic numbers. The popular comedienne appears as an Italian servant.
 Miss Fazenda proves that her versatility Is not confined to panto- mime. but also includes use of her voice.
 "For The Defense"
 For the Defense" featuring Will liam Powell and Kay Francis, is a story that deals with a phase of metropolitan life with which every one Is familiar. Powell is seen as a phenomenally sue ssful lawyer, who defends doubtful persons from the machinery of the law, and who wins case after case in spite of the suspicious levelled against him by the Bar Association and the Police Department
 One of the thrills of the film is the scene wherein Powell demon strates his daring by dashing a bottle, supposedly containing nitro glycerine, to the floor of the court room. He shows himself to be not only brilliant and crafty, but courageous as well.
 Faces Hard Problem But the time comes when he is confronted with a problem which is too much for his cleverness. His actress sweetheart is confronted with a life-term for manslaughter. Powell is defending her. He learns, too late, that she is guilty. There is one way to save her-he must take the rap' himself What hap pens is the big climatic moment of the play.
 Kay Francis is the actress-sweet- heart. Scott Kolk turns in a good performance as the society idler who tries to take her from Powell. William B. Davidson is the district attorney and Thomas E. Jackson is shrewd detective.

 CAN. GLACIERS.
Gov. Parks to Be Guest on Yacht w alronda in
 Glacier Bay Cruise

Will the retreat of Grand Pa cific Glacier eventually give the Dominion Canadian port in the
 heart of the Alaska panhandle? This has been the principal topic oi conversation among glacioiogists who visited the territory this sum- n1er and the point has not been relegated into the discard yet. Ru- nors that Canadians contemplate the establishment of tourist re- sort at the head of Grand Pacific Inlet have been rife of late
 The question was put to J. P Forde, divisional engineer for the department of Public Works of Canada, who arrived in Juneau saturday afternoon aboard the Canadian yacht Walronda, Capt. H Alden, from Victoria, B. c. We have had our eyes on Grand Pacific for some time-since 1925, at least" MT. Forde said, but. just what use we can make of s the three-quarters of a mile of land which retreating glacier has left for us is yet to be determineds:'' Glacier Quits Alaska
 During the summer of 1925, a party of surveyors found that Grand Pacific Glacier, which has been trying for good many years to decide whether it wanted to be an Alaskan or Canadian glacier, had finally made up it's mind to change it's nationality. It has now withdrawn almost mile from the International Boundary Line, giv- ing Canada a port of entry to northern British Columbia.
 'The Canadian government has withdrawn this strip of land from the public domain" MT. Forde said. We don't know what use we can make if it, as the country beyond it is practically unexplored It is doubtful, however, if we can ever use it as means of ingress to the WhiteIlorse country-th there are too many ice fields and high mountain ranges"
 Gov. Parks a Guest
 w. A. Gourlay, senior engineer for the department of public works of Canada, Mrs. Gourlay and John Yarrow, of Yarrow, Ltd, shipbuild- CTS of Victoria, are MT. Forde's guests on the cruise. MT. Yarrow is the grandson of Alfred Yarrow, the inventor of the torpedo boat and the torpedo boat destroyer.
 Gov. George A. Parks has &C., cepted MT. Forde's invitation to accompany the party on the Wal ronda on their cruise to Glacier Bay. F. R. Bradley, of the Alas ka Juneau Gold Mining Company, and H. Wheeler, superintendent of the White Pass and Yukon Rail- road, also will be guests.
 The Walronda was scheduled to sail at noon today, to be gone about week. M

WALCOTT PARTY
 LEAVES SUNDAY

Henry O'Malley, United States Commissioner of Fisheries, and the Walcott party, sailed from here Sunday morning on the Fisheries boat Penguin, Capt. ODonnell, en- route to Seattle via Ketchikan. They expected to spend today in the latter port, leaving for Seattle tonight.
 In the party besides the Commis- sioner were: Senator Frederick Walcott and his son. William, Congressman Albert Carter, and Carl Shoemaker, ecretary to the Special Senate Committee on Wild Life Conservation.
 The party has been in the Ter ritory since the beginning of July. It covered the coastline from Dixon Entrance to the tip of the Alaska Peninsula and through Bristol Bay, with visit to the Pribilofs. It also made a trip over the Alaska Railroad to Fairbanks and returned to the coast over Richardson High way to Valdez. It covered Prince William Sound, visited Sitka and Skagway in addition to other South east Alaska communities.
 Senator Walcott will be joined by other members of the Senate Committee at Seattle and with them will proceed to Portland for a hearing there late this month. Commissioner O'Malley will attend the hearing. The committee mem bers will visit other Western States before returning to Washington.

tenance of healthy supply of all of them is sound, and suited to the needs of a frontier country such as Alaska is."
 Overshooting Of Moose
 There is evidence of a great overshooting of moose in central Alaska, between Fairbanks and the Alaskan range and from Mckinley Park east to Blackburn, and part icularly in the Delta River country, , the Senator asserted. The supply can only be built up by regu- lating hunting and number killed.
 "The game along Richardson Highway should be rigidly pro- tected on both sides of that route because of it's appeal to tourists This class of travel is bringing a great deal of ready money into Alaska and it is more easily thrilled by the sight of wild game along the roads than by anything else" he said.
 Park Natural Reservoir
 Mckinley Park will serve for all time as a reservoir of wild life protecting indefinitely large num- bers of Dall sheep, of caribou and the mountain grizzly, which is entirely a different species from the coastal grizzly. This Park will eventually produce for Alaska a large amount of tourist revenue. '
 Commenting on the fur supply of the country, Senator Walcott said.
 Tt is difficult to make any accurate statement about the Ter ritory or any given section as to it's fur resources. This is because the supply varies almost exactly as it's own food supply does. And as that is largely composed of rabbits, and the latter is subject to cyclic epidemic every seven to ten years, we find the fur supply fluctuating accordingly.
 Even the grouse may be af- fected by this epidemic. There fore, great discretion must be used in building up the fur sup ply in any given section immedi- ately after one of these disastrous epidemics.
 Sees Notable Progress
 In summing up his general im- pression of the Territory, citing the many evidences of substantial de- velopment noted by himself and his companions on their tour which has stretched to. something like 5000 miles within the Territory, Senator Walcott said:
 T feel that Alaska while still a wilderness empire, has made more progress economically in 30 years than New England did in a cen tury; and that with the sympa- thetic and practical cooperation of the Federal Government, which is still essential. she will eventually fulfill the dreams of the widest enthusiast.
 Tt will take time, patience, mon- ey and the same pioneer spirit which has been used thus far, to bring about this destiny" he con- cluded

Nine Miners Die, Many
Are Fatally Injured in
Explosion in Germany

HERNE, Wesphalia, Germany
Nine miners were killed and twenty
seven injured, many Of them per-
haps fatally, when an entire shift Of
66 men were buried by an explosion
in the Mount Gents mine.
The explosion was due to fire
damp and coal dust. The death Of
the miners is plainly murder by the
coal bosses. Eghty-three men died
from an explosion in this same mine
in 1921. The bosses knew very well
before both explosions the conditions
in the mines and deliberately ignored
the danger, preferring to take a
chance with the miners lives rather
than stop production couple Of days
and go to the expense Of making the
mine safe.
