he terms disloyalty to the theater, for
getting that he presented here such
worthless businesses as "A Trip to
Pressburg." which local reviewers were
far too kind to, and that he brought
the "Follies" to the National in such a
state as drove dozens of people out Of
the theater before even the halfway
mark had been reached. He forgets that
where the reviewers may have erred on
the side Of bitterness, they also have
given him many pat which he never
deserved.
It is unfortunate, however, that such
rift should have sprung up between
producer and reviewer, and that Mr..
of hide and seek will do neither him nor
the theater any good. For he cannot
say that such worthwhile productions
as MARY of Scotland" Her Masters
Voice" or 1.-The Lake" have Jared badly
locally-and he might like to recall that
Washington was 100 per cent kinder
to Miss Lenore Uric In Her Man Of
Wax than was New York.
Nevertheless, because of the woe that

And we are sorry that Mr.. Shubert
isn't sorry, too.
1T WAS JOY to see young actress
come into her own last Monday
night at the National. The older gen.
Grafton felt, of course, that Miss Hep
burn was carried by those two splendid
performers, Blanche Bates and Frances
Starr. But the younger element must
have felt that at last they had q rep
resentatiye who is likely some day TO
climb very high indeed.
Jed Harris said that Miss Hepburn
gave the coolest performance he had
seen her give all through rehearsals at
that opening. The audience, too, must
have felt that she wasn't as free and
as easy as she might have been. Yet
they must have allowed her q certain
margin, considering the tremendous
odds that were against her and con-
sidering the fact that her reputation Is
far greater than 1t virtually has any
right to be.
ness one Of the most astonishing OPEN
ings 1t has ever seen. It will pay trib.
ute, almost en- maSSe, to young woman
who left town as an extremely modest
young actress, and who within q year
has become the greatest personality
since Garbo. ut Is even safe to say
that the Hepburn vogue has been so
strong that it has somewhat dimned the
excitement which should attend the
opening of the new Garbo film.) Not
only will New York be there, but an
eminent representative from England,
Noel Coward, Is travelling all the way
over here for this event.
Thus is cinema virtue rewarded.

Death Claims P. L. Wood

Percy L. Wood, head of the commissary department at the Premier mine, passed away suddenly Tuesday night as a result of heart trouble. The de- ceased had complained of not feeling well for two or three days before his demise but at- tributed it to a temporary stom- ach derangement.
 MT. Woods had been en- ployed at the mine for several years, coming there from Van couver, where he was engaged in the restaurant business. He was fifty-five years of age and 2 native of the United States, but had resided in Canada 20 years. He is survived by his wife, who resided at Premier.
 The funeral was held Friday, with interment in the Hyder cemetery, following services at Premier conducted by Rev. G. H. Moody. Funeral arrange ments were directed by E. E Charlton, local mortician.

PREMIER INCREASES
 PROFITS IN 1892

An increase of more than $200,000 in the operating prof. it's of the Premier Gold Mining Company in 1882, compared with the preceding year, is shown in the annual report of the company, recently issued.
 Profits for 1882 are placed at $1,095,961, as against $685. 871 in 1881.
 This excellent return was achieved over and above all charges, including depletion and write-offs against the Por- ter-Idaho and Prosperity in- vestments. Furthermore it was made in the face of the lowest price for silver in history and substantially curtailed activ- ities resulting from the depress- ion and other causes, hence it must also be considered splendid testimonial of the managerial efficiency of MT. D, l.. Pitt and his staff.
 The report shows $1.547, ,115 in cash on hand at the close of the year.

Silver Bills Again Introduced

In an effort to further recog- nition of silver in the monetary emergency, Senators Burton K Wheeler, of Montana, and Key Putnam, of Nevada, reintro, duced the silver measures pre- sented by them to the last Congress, it was reported from Washington. The Wheeler measure proposes remonetiz- ation of silver at a ratio of 16 to 1 with gold.
 The Pittman bills would in one instance permit Great Brit ain to pay up to S100,000,001 of her war debt in silver al the market value of that metal up to 45 cents per ounce, while second measure would auth prize the Treasury to purchase up to 5,000,000 ounces of do- medically produced silver month.
 The use by President Roose- welt of the word adequate" in his inaugural declaration that "There must be provision for and adequate but sound cur rency" is considered by silver advocates as indicating poss- ible early action toward recog- milton of silver as a currency basis. Rep. A. L. Somers, who will head the new House coin age committee, expressed the view that had not the president been thinking at least favor 1 ably of silver he would have left adequate" out of his ad- dress, as, while adequate cur rency could be obtained by other means of legislation, sill yer represents the only means of providing both adequate and sound new currency.
 ] Representative Rainey said that although the president; policy on the silver question has not been decided, he per l sonally thought that silver leg islation is advisable.

MECER REPORTS DEATH
 OF PETER MORRISON

Paul Meger, well known min CT and prospector, who spent the greater part of the past year prospecting in the Bows CT Lake-Bell-Irving River reg ion north of Stewart, returned to town Sunday to report the recent death at his camp of Peter Morrison, Hazelton In- dian trapper, who has hunted and trapped in that section for years.
 Morrison apparently died from some form of intestinal obstruction resulting from an injury received last year. MT. Meger reported that he found Morrison severely ill in a tent on Taft Creek, a branch of the Bell Irving and some distance below his own camp on the Bell-Irving. The tent in which the deceased was living was left on Taft Creek last year by h e prospecting expedition headed by Ernest Blue of Fly der, one member of which, J. M. MacRitchie, died and was buried at that point while en- route to the Taylor Creek sect ion.
 Morrison had been suffering acutely for five days when To- cated by MT. Meger, who sled ded him to his own camp. Elf forts made by MT. Meger and 1 his partner, Charles Beale, to relieve the stricken man were unavailing. MT Meger then at tempted to sled him to Stew art but he was too ill to stand the long and severe journey and the effort was abandoned. After several days of intense suffering Morrison expired and was buried near the camp. Mr Meger then left for Stewart to report, accompanied by Nor rison's widow. who accompan- jed her husband on his trap ping expeditions.
 MT. Meger informed the Her aid that he and Beale have moi been able to do much prospect ing since last fall owing to the snow but plan to resume then search for placer deposits a; soon as conditions permit.
 He said his findings last sum

GOV. PARKS URGES
 DRASTIC ECONOMY

Declaring that there should be no increase in Territorial taxation, as Alaska industries are already burdened with all the taxes they can bear, Gov ernor George A. Parks, in his message to the Alaska Legis- lature, stressed repeatedly the seriousness of the present eco- homie situation and rccm~ mended drastic economy in Territorial appropriations and expenditures.
 Among the numerous econo- mics recommended by the ex- ecutive were suspension of the eagle, wolf and coyote bount- ies; airplane field construct ion; agricultural fair grants; telephone, shipping and other subsidies, and appropriations for protection of salmon fry.
 The governor also urged an 81a per cent cut in school sal aries, 10 per cent cut in re- funds, and a 50 per cent re- duction in night citizenship school funds, with provisions for charging an enrolment fee of S10 in such schools. He fur ther recommended that rural schools be required to defray a part of the cost of their main tenance, and the creation of school districts authorized to levy special school taxes to as- Sist in lessening the cost of ed ucational activities of the Terr- itory.
 Reduction of Territorial road appropriations to $100,000 for the biennium was recommend ed, as was also a change in the present system for the relief of destitution. He urged that such relief be placed entirely in the hands of the governor, with au- thority to cooperate with mu- nicipalities in caring for desti- tuition on a 50-50 basis. This he suggested, would permit launching of an emergency public works program with f u n d g now expended or straight charity.
 The governor also advocated a revision of the method o1 granting Pioneer pensions anC advocated the selection of the Commissioner of Education bt removed from politics anC placed in the hands of tht Board of Education.
