has bought him books on mathe.

also has persuaded him to join
the Hollywood Y.M.CA. to keep

There are several schools in
California which make a speciality
of prep work for Annapolis. On
her Paramount salary, Gail will
put her brother in one of them,

Bottome'S novel, Private

Montana, England, italy and Ger

in Munich, Bavaria, in the midst

HOLLYWOOD, Dec. 29..The
cinema fates smile upon Jean

This young actress writes:

"At their age they are full OF
ideals. What they think life ought
to be will never coincide with what
Hollywood will give them"
Hailed as one of the new senSar

able to pluck this bit of wisdom
out of her pretty head.

HOLLYWOOD, Dec. 29.-As be-

somehow that Old Year slips with

numerous innovations, and many
new stars were born. Also, the
now decrepit chap set a neat pre-
cedent of spectacular films for the
newborn year to beat.
Sensing the trend of prosperity
early last winter, the major studios
plunged into costly films, giving
work to many thousands Of bit
players and reaping an even
tual golden harvest. Cleopatra, "
Treasure Island" queen Chris,
tina" Scarlet Empress, Madame
DuBarry," David Copperfield" and
Lives of a Bengal Lancer" all
are the product of 1884, although
the last two have not yet been
released.
The year saw the rise and close
of a great historical film cycle,
and that is perhaps the greatest
landmark it leaves behind. The

Irene Dunno Will Ask New Deal
For Her Marriage

'and wife are separated by long
distances, are a failure.
So says Irene Dunno, who'll
demand a new kind Of motion
picture contract to preserve her
welded happiness with DR.. Fran
els Griffen, New York dentist.
Miss Dunne's marriage has
been pointed out as a successful
committing arrangement. It has
endured three and one-half years
during which she and DR.. Griffen
have made numerous trips across
the country.
But the star now insists upon
modification of her unusual de.
sign for living.
There is no normal home life
in the arrangement" she says.
''I realize DIR. Griffen and I will
have to be separated for a part
of the year, but, after my RKO
contract is over lit has one more
picture to gO) I'm seeking new
deal for my marriage.
81 have determined to make
only three pictures a year, and
these concentrated in a six
months period. That will en-
able my husband and me to
spend at least half the time to-
gether."
The star thus will escape dis
appointments like this Christmas.
DR.. Griffen had planned to be
with her in Hollywood, but at the
last minute, business kept him IN
New York.

Asks Better Light Service

The Stewart Board of Trade launched last week a campaign to induce an improvement in the present inadequate cleo tric service and instructed it's secretary, A. Russworm, to take the subject up with A. M. Little, district manager of the power company.
 company.
 From what can be learned of the situation it appears that the current production capaci- ties of the local plant are taxed tlmost to the limit by the pow CT demands of mining comp anies and but little current is left for town consumption in Stewart and Hyder. The short age has been so extreme of late that the Herald has had con- siderable difficulty in main- taining publication owing to lack of sufficient power to op- crate it's Linotype type-making machine, which requires con- siderable current for heating the type metal and operation Of mechanism.

TO LIMIT ISSUE
 OF SILVER CERTIFICATES

There is, no present plan for the issuance of as much new currency backed by silver as the law allows, although certif- icates are b e i ing printed against silver holdings on the basis of $1.29, it was made known few days ago by of- ficials of the national treasury.
 The announcement indicates clearly that the administration has no present intention of per- hitting the silver purchase pol icy to become a means of ex- tensive currency expansion.
 Officials stated that under the law they can issue $129 worth of certificates for each 100 ounces of silver acquired but for the present, since silver is costing 5O.01 cents an ounce, only $50.O1 worth of currency will be issued against each 100 ounces of newly acquired met al.
 Certificates printed from sen- forage on silver, whic h amounts to slightly over 61 per cent, will be retained for the present ythe treasury as prof. it. but can be put into circula- ton whenever the treasury de- sires, the officials said.

WORK STARTS ON RAIL.
 WAY CONSTRUCTION

Andrew McCulloch, railway construction engineer, arrived from Vancouver last Saturday to inaugurate work on the Con- solidated Mining and Smelling Company's seasonal construct ion activities on the Canadian Northeastern Railway. MT. Mo Culloch was accompanied by a number of assistants.
 The amount to be expended this year will not exceed ESQ., 900, it was made known by MT. McCulNoch, and the work will extend over an approximate period of three months. This is in conformity to the terms of the charter granted by the Provincial government of Brit ish Columbia.
 It is understood that activities will be directed tc extending the present grade along the upper Bear river valley and tc surveying for future extensions toward Bear River Pass.
 A construction camp capable of accommodating from 60 to 70 men has been started at Amer ican Creek, utilizing existing buildings at that point, and the engineers left Stewart yes terday morning to launch their operations.
 It is stated that a 23-mile ex- tension of the present grade will carry it through the Coast Range to the interior. This extension will include tunnel of undetermined length at the summit of the pass.
 The projected line is expect ed to ultimately connect with railroad lines in the Peace Riv- CT district and will thus link up the Hyder and Stewart dist ricts with the transcontinental railway system. The charter provides for the extension of the line as far as Fort Grahame on the Finlay River within five years.
 The charter is held by the Consolidated Mining & Smelt- ing Co.,, one of Canada's great est corporations, with large local mining interests, includ- ing the Big Missouri mine.
 Engineer McCulloch, who was chief engineer of the Ket- tie Valley railroad from 1925 to last year, is no stranger to this district, having made the railway survey in 1929 as far as Meziadin Lake.

NEW BUREAU PLANS
 TO ASSIST TERRITORY

AppfeneSlOnS or furtner Du- reaucratic inflictions raised in the minds of many Alaskans by the recent Washington an- nouncement that this and other U. s. Territories and insular po- sessions would be placed under the administrative control of a newly created department of the interior bureau known as the Division of Territories and Island Possessions, may be somewhat relieved by a de- claration of Major Earl Land reth, acting chief of the new department, to the effect that it is not designed to exercise jurisdiction over the nations territorial possessions but is solely for the purpose of facil- itating development of Alaska, Hawaii and the insular lands and of acting: as a sort of en- larged clearing house" for their benefit"
 The program formulated by Major Landreth and presented to the secretary of the interior for his approval disavows any desire on the part of the Divis- ion to exercise jurisdiction" within the sphere of it's activi- ties, according to a statement issued by the Washington off, flee of Delegate A. J. Dimond.
 Rather" the latter state ment continues, ''it is designed to develop cooperative action between the territorial and in- sular governments and the Di- vision. It is the thought of Major Landreth that the new agency can materially assist Alaska in its relations with all branches of the federal gov- ernment. While he has never been north, the Major is con- vinced that the resources of Alaska are more than suffic- tent to warrant the federal government in paying even more attention to the Territory in the future than it has in the past"
 Earlier reports of the new bureau setup have indicated that it would function along lines similar to those of Great Britains famous Colonial Of- flee, which acts as a sort of of- ficial intermediary between the colonies and the mother country.
 Major Landreth, whose ap- pointment is said to be tempo rary, is an officer in the regu- lar army and has been for some time past secretary of the Puerto Rico Hurricane Relief Commission.
