WASHINGTON, March 3. - The Chamber of Commerce of the United States has been cooperating with Delegate Wickersham in the effort to secure air mail service from Seattle to- Alaska, but this organization has just about concluded that the general cry of economy in public expenditures will tend to destroy any hope of hav- ing this new project carried out un- der the appropriations being made for the fiscal year starting July l, 1882.
 The other day Delegate Wicker sham introduced five bills in the House, authorizing the improvement of Stikine river, Dry Pass, Wrangeil Harbor, Wrangell Narrows, and Ko- diak Harbor, all of which were re- ferred to the rivers and harbors com- mittee. It was expected that they will thus be given propmt attention when general rivers and harbors hill is introduced. Bills for several other projects will als obe introduced by the Delegate. Hyder, however. may be given attention first, as that project has been recommended by the War Department and has been re- ferred to the committe on flood con- trol The document setting forth the fact for the necessity for this dyke construction is now in the hands of the printer, but will not be considered by the committee until printed copies are available. The estimated cost of the project is $53,000, of which sum the local interests 1t Hyder are re- quired to furnish $7,000.

Film Stars Will
Raise Money
For Relief
BY HARRISON CARROLL
Copyright. 1882. King Features

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, Feb. 25.
Gossip marts in Hollywood we're
buzzing today with the newest
plan to raise money for the mo
ton picture relief fund.
Mary Pickford proposed it, and
here it is:
Filmdou's greatest stars will
volunteer their services for a
series Of 13 one-reel pictures, to
be called Hollywood on Parade"
Paramount will release the shorts
and 90 per cent of the proceeds
win 60 to help the motion picture
industry care for its own.
These shorts, as outlined in pre-
liminary discussion, will show a
croSS-Sectior of the life of the
Cinema capital and its people.
Stars viii open their homes to
the camera and studios will unbar
their gates. From the great in
terest shown recently in the in
formal Candid Camera" pictures
Of Hollywood out of makeup, it
Is believed that there will be a
strong audience demand for the
pictures.
II the plan goes through, and
everything indicates it will, Louis
Lewyn will produce the films.
For some time now, Lewyn has
been putting out a somewhat
similar series of shorts called
"The Voice of Hollywood"
